Me and 80's...not so much

These colors were a BITCH to work with and I feel like they look weird on me!
The color is awesome and I like it, but maybe on someone else.
Maybe it is because I am in my pajamas with ratty hair and not dressed up at a rave?
I don't know. I just feel weird with these colors LOL

Spinning the color wheel!

I took a spin with the color wheel last night and then matched the colors to my  pigments.
The color wheel came up with this!
I added some  glitter since the colors were pretty matte.
Here is the color wheel if you want to take it for a spin! http://www.colorsontheweb.com/colorwheel.asp




I liked this look because it was fairly light and not a color combo I would have ever chosen.
Glenn said it looked like an Easter egg!
The lady at Target complimented me <3

Things I love - Part One

I thought I would just give a quick review on a 
few products that I am LOVING!!
As you have read, I am pretty cheap. It is somewhat by choice but also by necessity. 
I am a stay at home mom of a bunch of kids so I need to have my dollar streeeeeeeeeetch!
This first product that I love is Miracle 7 Leave in Conditioner

I found it at Sally Beauty Supply. It isn't cheap by any means. 
Well at least it isn't cheap by my standards.
I paid about $14 out the door for a small bottle.
I will tell you that it is the BEST leave in conditioner I have ever tried and I have tried a lot!
I have over 26" of long hair so I need a good leave in conditioner to detangle this mess!
I have used pretty much every brand sold at Target and have been disappointed with them all. None have done what Miracle 7 has done.
It works GREAT on the tangles , when your hair dries it feels super soft , is shiny and smooth. Since having my last few kids I have developed frizzy hair, Miracle 7 totally tamed the frizz when I let my hair air dry.
Have you tried Miracle 7 or do you have a favorite leave in conditioner? 
Let me know, we have a bunch of long haired gals in this house and would love to try out your suggestions!

The next on my "Love" list IS super cheap! $1 and it is sold online or at mt favorite place...Target!
It is the therapeutic conditioning lip balm by elf cosmetics!

I bought it figuring when it sucked I could just throw it away and not care since it was just a buck but I was super surprised when I first used it.
It went on super smooth and had a nice feel on the lips. I hate thick and I hate sticky. 
This was neither!
I will warn you though, the vanilla cream goes on pretty white and looks disgusting if your lips are chapped at all. I got strawberry cream and it gives a nice hint of color. 
Do you have a lip balm that rocks your socks off? 
Comment and let me know so I can try it!!

Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship conditioner has made by "LOVE" list!
Like I said earlier, I have really long hair and a good conditioner is a MUST HAVE.
I have never used any salon brands but definitely have tried every kind that Target carries.
I paid about $2.50 on sale for a very large bottle of this.

I do change my conditioner often but I can say I am loving this stuff so far. It is leaving my hair smooth and less tangled than it has been in a long time. It has even made my ends which can be pretty dry look better! 

Challenge!

Today's look was inpsired by the girls on facebook. We all decided to rock the same colors and see how different our finished looks were!





Branching out...

So I am going to branch out here a bit and try some new things. I tend to get obsessed with one thing and then just forget everything else. I wanted to start this blog to share my makeup looks and experiences with everyone especially the people who are new to makeup , people who do not have a lot of money to spend or just cheap like me <3.  Nothing I use on my face is expensive. So I plan on sharing more about the other products I use too! So watch in the coming days for some reviews on some low cost beauty items I love!
