Experiment on the cheap

I love to try out new makeup looks. Smokey eyes, "in the beach all-day" skin and lately dabbling in magenta for a bold lip. Because I'm just experimenting and its not permanent its hard to dish out up to $20 on a lip product but on the contrast a $1-$4 product won't give you the same consistancy and pigmentation a higher priced one will give you.
It's hard out there for change!

Thank Sephora! The Sephora brand has great products for cheaper than Dept store lines.

Luckly I confide in Sephora's lip pencils as being the cheapest way to be in the "now" without spending a boat-load. I bought some lip pencils the other day and was quite satisfied because 1) the color and consistancy is great and 2 pencils = less than $10. 2) Look at how much money you saved to try something new!

If all else fails- at least you know that they money didn't go to Mickey D's.

Next!

So I went to check out the Libertine for Target collection and disappointed doesnt cover the extent of my feeling...
Every single item from the collection either had an animal or crazy designed splattered over it or it looked to jovial for functionality.
Though I didn't have my heart set on this one.. September is what I am holding out for- I LOVE TEMPERLEY!!
The countdown has begun...

Beauté du Jour: Sophie Dahl

Yes, Its back again. I have a few more beauté du jour's for ya.
The grand-daughter of a children's author who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate factory was discovered while ccrying on the doorstep in front of her home as a teen.
The scout: Isabella Blow , the discoveree: Sophie Dahl.
She became infamous for the "risque" YSL Opium campaign shot a few years ago that had to be removed from UK billboards.
Aside from that, she just so happens to be an actress, model and children's author.

Spotted: Max Factor Maxilicious gloss

At Longs in by neighborhood. A good 2/3d's of the squeeze tube glosses were gone and of the one's I saw the colors and consistancy looked promising.
Another unfortunate- I didnt have my camera, much less my purse on me to take pics...
