New Layout!
While I enjoyed the previous theme I had going, I wanted a more modern look to the blog. So until I find something better, we’re going with this theme.
If I can get Safari to stop kicking me out every time I try to browse Tumblr’s themes, maybe I will eventually find one I can settle on.
Apologies!!!
To anyone who started to follow this blog and then wondered why there was no one posting, I apologize! You see, I do this blog entirely from an IPhone, so I don’t have all the bells and whistles the other blogs seem to have. I don’t have sidebars with links in them. Or advertisements, or something that tallies up how many times I mention a product or color.
I was feeling I just...

Little Red Riding Hood, you're everything a Big...
Continuing my fascination with Barbie, I found these two in a Tuesday Morning store! I think you can figure out how they wound up there! These are by far two if the most risque’ Barbies I have ever seen!!
Red Riding Hood looks like she should be on a Stripper’s Pole and Corvette Barbie is a borderline Drag Queen with that dress and makeup!
Would you buy these for your little...

NEW Clinique Products!!'
Pictured below are new Clinique Blush and eyeshadow. I do not know if these will be permanent to the line, but that Kittycat eyeshadow is gorgeous and definitely looks like a TAUPE!!!!!
RUN! DO NOT walk to your nearest Clinique Counter to pick these up!
(not yet purchased or owened by me)!
The Cheap Seats (Target Version)
I love, love, love Target!!!!! Everytime I visit I seem to spot new and interesting items in the cosmetics aisles.
This trip yielded Kings and Queens shower gels!!! This were once only sold in very high end department stores! The honey scent is supposedly heavenly. I will be purchasing these at some point for a later review. They just weren’t in the budget this time.
I also spotted...

ULTA HAUL!!!!!
So yes my Lemmingista’s, I have been remiss in my posting. Doing a blog from your IPhone limits one a bit. I read & see other blogs, which are slicker, cooler, better organized and it makes me wonder if I should continue on. Tumblr does an amazing job of blogger support and I know if I had a computer I really could make this blog amazing. But enough of this “pity party”! ...

Proud Moment
My darling Lemmingista’s, I could NOT resist showing you my well organized lipstick drawer it took me half a nights work to get in order!
Kind of looks like Pop Art, doesn’t it???

Cosmetic Karma (or what goes around comes around)!
The two very lovely items below are from my friend & client Amber. Amber and I met on MUA and discovered we live near each other and she began coming to my Clinique counter, usually @ gift time. We also share the fact that we work Full Time for Uncle Sam (or Obama), however you wish to view it.
This time when she came for Gift with Purchase she presented me with a package wrapped in black...

How to score a deal @ lunch
So, I have never been a huge fan if Smashbox, EXCEPT, every Tuesday and Thursday @ their website they have what they call “Let’s do Lunch”, where they will give you a FULL size item free with the purchase of any other item between 9:00am and 2:00 pm Pacific Standard Time. So being on the East Coast when noon hits, I generally see what’s on offer and have scored some...

A Trip in the Way Back Machine!
Back in ancient times (approximately 1978-1981), when I was in High School, no self-respecting girl was without her Bonne Bell lipsmacker. Back then they only made them in the “fat” size and back then my favorite flavor was chocolate cherry.
They also made a face toner/cleanser called 10-0-6 that was a funky brown color and also had a funky smell and literally stripped anything...

The Cheap Seats. (Online E-tailer Version)...
Their is a wonderful online E-tailer of eyeshadows, palettes & MAC Pigments; StarsMakeupHaven.com.
I was first made aware of them by the wonderful KarlaSugar who promoted them with an online discount code.
I initially purchased 4 pans of shadow, as I had an empty MAC 4 pan palette around and wanted to fill it. The single pans sell for $4.95, so for approx. $20, I filled my palette. Not...

Big Girls Don't Cry ( They just buy more shoes!)
My darling Lemmingista’s, we take a break in this post from makeup and discuss another obsession of mine, SHOES!!!!!!
Unfortunately, I was not blessed with a pretty little size 7 or 8 foot, noooooo, I wear a size 11W shoe. Yep, that’s right, my foot is almost a foot long, and wide. A friend once remarked with feet like mine I could have been one hell of a swimmer. Trouble is I...

The Cheap Seats (CVS Haulette Version)
So my Lemmingista’s, as you have probably noticed I have been devoid of inspiration as of late. Once again, I have slacked off in my posting of my latest makeup lemmings. Ah well, we start anew with fresh hope for better days! (OK, even I made myself a bit sick on that one).
Today while trawling the CVS when I should have been at the Jiffy Lube getting the oil changed in the company car...

Will Spring Never Come??!
We are as about sick of winter here in the Northeast as Dancing with Stars is desperate for decent reality stars! Kate Gosselin??????? WTF!?!?!!
Anyways, as I listen to Rob Thomas’ Smooth on my IPod trying to find inspiration, I thought I’d give you a teeny glimpse of summer color from Lancome.
I am hoping to have some new eyeshadows from a wonderful online
E-tailer,...

You're so Vain I Bet You Think This Blog is About...
Well, it’s not! It’s all about me, but then isn’t that how all these blogs got started??? Someone thought everyone was entitled to their opinion and blogs were born! So this blog being about me and my makeup addiction, we were bound to eventually discuss the fact that I am one of those scary ladies in the white coat, behind the Clinique Counter. Except, I’m not. I...
