Review for Best Eyeliner

My pick is......Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Creme liner pots. ($3.99)
I LOVE these. There are only two colors, Black and Eggplant (purple).
I don't recommend the brush it comes with though unless you want a mess on your eye.
I use a thin eye liner brush to apply.
These also stay on forever.
I don't have another creme eyeliner brand to compare it to but for me these work great and I do highly recommend trying one. And it's cheap and won't make you poor :)

Review for worst Mascara EVER!!!!!!

My pick is....... Rimmel Sexy Curves. ($6.99?)
So I got it to try with a coupon for free (coupon was in April? All You mag @ Walmart)
thinking "It couldn't hurt, free makeup." Right?
Ummm...Yeah. Wrong.
Tried it and for the first week thought "Oooo, great mascara." Its a purple tube and the brush is cute-shaped. Made my lashes at least look great.
Until I rubbed my eye and half my lashes broke off because they were so hard and brittle. WTF!
So I do not recommend buying this mascara. If I didn't get it for free, I would return it, it sucks that bad.
Any-whoo. Thats just my 2 cents on this product.
Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara = bad!

Cutest top ever

Sleeveless White Top with Side Neck Tie for $17.99 and comes in XS-L
Top is fron Heavenly Couture (www.getheavenly.com) and belt is not includes : (

Ulta Beauty

If anyone is familiar with Ulta Beauty, there is a coupon in the May09 Elle Magazine for $5 off a min. purchase of $10. To use it online, www.Ulta.com the code is 38005. I finally stumbled on a store in North Attleboro, MA and was soooo exited. I only bought an NYX eye shadow and NYX lip gloss though. My mom didn't like the store much, she likes Sephora better. I did though, it was 4x bigger than Sephora and I didn't have time to go through everything. Any-hoo, just wanted to post this.

for a free sample of the new Instant coffee from Starbucks.

New items added to web store

I added a fragrance and an herbal mask to my shop, go check it out @ http://kristies2ndhandboutique.webs.com/

I also changed my webpage address because freewebs changed theirs.

So I broke down and made Lush UK and B Never orders

I ordered a bunch of stuff from Lush UK and their sister company B Never too Busy to be Beautiful, also in the UK.
*
From Lush UK I ordered:
*
1)Gavernie soap
2)Ocean salt
3)Keep it Fluffy Guest Soap (from B Never)
4)Flying Fox SG
5)The Wuss BBar
6)Love Guest Soap (from B Never)
7)Hot Java Ballistic
8)Bamboo Soap
9)Back for Breakfast SG
Total: $62.09 (that's with shipping)
*
I ended up making two B Never orders because they added something cool I wanted.
*
First order:
*
1)Rosebud lip sugar scrub (limited edition)
2)Cocktail soap
3)Six of the best Fragrance samples (Contains: B Scent, Cocktail, Keep It Fluffy, Love, Two Hearts Beating as One and 1000 Kisses Deep)
4)and every order gets a free sample of Two Hearts Beating as One perfume
Total: $39.56 (that's with shipping)
*
Second order:
*
1)Cocktail Bath cube
2)Kistya Keep it fluffy (toothpaste)
3)Beauty Grab Bag (thats why I made a 2nd order, 70 pounds worth of stuff for 30 pounds, less because they take off VAT, UK tax)
4)and (still) with every order you get a fee Two hearts perfume
Total: $59.65 (that's with shipping)
*
*
So that's a total of $161.30 (last year at this time I spent about $250ish because 1 UK pound= 2 US dollars or something, and shipping was much higher, $40+ each order, so if I made these orders last year it would be well over $225, ouch!)
*
Can't wait 'til these come in.
*
That's all
