So I have just recently realized how bad things are. I realized that where I live, you are lucky to have a good job. I've been hunting for a job for a while now and jobs tell me that they aren't hiring at this moment. I've realized how hard it is to live on your own. And I swear every time I go back to Walmart the prices keep going higher and higher. I'm currently in college and it's hard to find a job out here that will work around your schedule. So to everyone struggling hang in there and keep your heads up. Things are hard right now for most of us but with some prayer, support from our loved ones, and our strive to keep looking for a job or going to school for a good job will all pay off. We also need to be there for one another through these hard times. Good luck everyone, keep your heads up and think positive and God Bless!!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!

It snowed a lot where I live! 15 inches of snow! Definitely not fun to drive in!

Red Lips

Lately I've been on Youtube watching all the beauty gurus with their holiday tutorials and it's made me want to try red lips. I'm not a bold lip color person so I'll admit that I was scared of a bright red lip but I love how classy and elegant it looks. So I've asked a few people and done my research on what the best red drugstore lipstick is and it came down to L'oreal Paris's Color Riche Age Serum in Real Red and Revlon's Matte lipstick in Really Red.

The red I was looking for was a matte one similar to Mac's Rubywoo. A beauty guru suggested I try this lipstick so I picked it up at my Walmart for around four dollars. I tried this lipstick on right away and unfortunately I didn't really like it. This applied kinda of sheer and was more of a red/orange color and wasn't very pigmented so this isn't something I'd purchase again.


I also looked up drugstore dupes for Mac's Rubywoo and I came across Revlon's Matte Really Red several times. I picked up this lipstick today and tried it on right away. At first I was skeptic as to how this was going to turn out because I have tried another Revlon matte lipstick in the past and I hated it. Surprisingly though I love this lipstick! This was really pigmented, not at all drying on my lips for being a matte lipstick, and the color is a true hollywood glam red. It's not an orangish or pinkish or bluish red, it's just red. So all in all I've found the perfect red for myself and if you're looking for a pinup looking red matte lip or you like Mac's Rubywoo I suggest you try this out.

So thanks for reading my blog, have a wonderful holiday and God Bless!! =)

Happy Holidays!



I just wanted to take the time to tell everyone Happy Holidays and be safe and enjoy being with your families and God Bless!! =)

Thrift Store Haul

Last week I thought I'd give my local thrift store a visit.  A lot of people think thrift stores are only full of old clothing but if you just keep looking you can find something unique and amazing and you know that nobody else has it!  So here are some pictures of what I got.


I found this cute jacket with red buttons and got it for $1!

This is a great long shirt with buttons and got for $1.25!

This is my favorite purchase out of them all. It's a long creme white colored sweater with gold buttons and I also got this for $1!

Buttons on the above sweater.

All in all this was a good trip to the thrift store and I think all these things are great for fall.  So go to the your local thrift store and see what you find! =)

Snow!!

I've gotta say this cold weather came way too fast!  I love the snow and all but I don't like the cold and driving in the snow.  What I do like though is to stay inside when it's snowing with a hot cup of cocoa watching Holiday movies.  So get ready for the snow everyone and be safe and enjoy the holidays to come!  And don't forget to bundle up out there! Thanks for reading! =)


About Me

All of my reviews are one hundred percent honest and everything is purchased with my own money. One thing I hate is gurus who don't post an honest opinion because they're getting paid for it. My hope is to one day have a career in cosmetology and make everyone feel great about themselves. So check out my blog if you love makeup and fashion and all that wonderful stuff!
