A Year of Glamour!

2005-10-06T20:53:00.000-04:00

12 issues for $10 dollars. Expert hair and beauty tips, fashion advice, relationship dos and don’ts, diet news—it’s all found on the glossy pages of each issue of Glamour Magazine.
Its a good deal....of course I already subscribe!

Just last night..my neighbor drops by to sell candy for their kids school. So as I'm browsing through the usual chocolate, and wrapping paper I open to a page full of magazine subscriptions at discount. Can I say H-e-a-v-e-n!! So needless to say I bought a subcription to 'Real Simple' and some chocolate nut clusters! I was a happy girl!! I told my hubby I bought chocolates. ahh...I guess I forgot to mention the magazine purchase. oops!

Try the Vintage trend

2005-10-06T16:49:00.000-04:00

I'm not usually your vintage type gal...but there's something about this bag that I'm drawn to.

Its a soft velvet Vintage Beaded Bag. It has a genuine wood frame and 41/2 inch drop handle. Zip-top with full closure. $29.

I'm not really into the shoes...too plain and flat.

Tip for Happy Lips!!

2005-10-06T14:12:00.000-04:00

Long Lasting Lipstick
The trick to making your lipstick last is layering. To extend wear, create a surface for color to adhere to. Begin by filling the entire lip with a neutral lip pencil. Next, apply your favorite lipstick over it. When lipstick fades, you'll be left with a pretty stain on lips. It's also good to prep your lips with a smoothing lip balm before applying lipstick—lip balm adds moisture and actually helps lipstick go on smoother.

Pretty Ribbon watches..1 face, 2 bands

2005-10-06T09:13:00.000-04:00

Ok...I admit, these are tempting me. My watch is pretty old anyway... and I love wrap around watches. So nice!
They have a brushed silvertone face and it comes with 2 interchangeable velvet ribbon bands to triple-wrap around your wrist. Each has an adjustable strap and a faux-bow closure. $24.00

Ok...I've convinced myself..I have to have them!

Karmala.....'the newest enlightening fragrance'

2005-10-06T08:58:00.000-04:00

Karmala is Mark's latest fragrance. You get a FREE bead-embellished mirror with any $20 Karmala beauty purchase. I love the packaging and the fragrance!!

My next favorite is this 'precious clutch'. Its beautiful..its full of colorful beads, it even has a few jingle bells on it. The back is covered in pink velvet.
I actually use it to hold my lipsticks because I am forever digging in my tote to find them.

PS--- My daughter is always snatching it from my purse...I think she like the jingles too!

Avon and mark.....your faves and mine

2005-10-05T19:54:00.000-04:00

Just thought it would be great to share the latest faves from Mark and Avon.
I'll tell you what's good, what's great, and even what's not so great!

Check it out.....look around.... get some ideas! Birthdays coming up, Holidays,
or maybe just for you, because you don't need an occasion to treat yourself!

Well that's what I tell myself as I stuff my shopping bags into my overflowing car.
Those who know me ..know thats all too true!
