review: Designer Imposters perfumes and colognes (Walmart & Big Lots)

I found these fantastic DESIGNER IMPOSTER perfumes that smell just like the expensive brand names-

 $2.50 each at Big Lots and $8 at Walmart!

Dolce & Gabbana "Light Blue", Marc Jacobs "Daisy", Juicy Couture "Viva La Juicy"

Abercrombie & Fitch "Fierce", Gucci "Guilty", Giorgio Armani "Code"

Thierry Mugler "Angel" smells just like the real thing, patchouli and chocolate (but fades quickly)

PLUS Walmart has this men's holiday gift set cologne trio for only $9!

Abercrombie & Fitch "Fierce" is my FAVORITE cologne! sometimes I spray it on me or my pillow before bed and have the sweetest dreams, mmmm! I wish more guys would wear this scent!

Imposter Chanel No. 5 and Coco Mademoiselle smell very, very close to the current watered down versions of the authentic Chanel perfumes. Coco Chanel would be rolling over in her grave is she could smell what her company is selling as "perfume" these days! Perfume companies periodically re-formulate their scents because ingredients become too expensive or federal regulations outlaw particular chemicals- so the original (year 1919) animalistic Chanel #5 is not the exact same scent as the perfume being sold in stores today (year 2015). And this sad fact is a huge reason I won't pay full price for perfume in stores- I'd rather buy the older, original versions at garage sales; or at least pay discounted prices at stores like TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Ross. BUT these Designer Imposter fragrances are so fantastic :-) lol I'm definitely not shelling out for the real thing if there's a scent imposter instead!

Hello, my new most *favorite* things ❤

Hands-down the most surprising Designer Imposter I LOVE is Clinique "Happy"- I don't remember the original Happy smelling this GOOD! It smells so fresh and delicious and beautiful! I find myself wanting to wear this scent all the time :-)

Dollar Tree Haul (Maybelline Baby Lips, L'Oreal HiP lipgloss duo, more!)

Surprise at my Dollar Tree today: Maybelline Baby Lips!

Berry Bomb, Pink Shock, Fierce N Tangy (yellow), Minty Sheer (green), and Oh! Orange!

 

I also found these pretty L'Oréal HiP lipgloss duos: 180 Swanky, 280 Chic, 380 Fashionista, and 480 Snazzy.

These are travel size and can slip on your keychain so that's fun!

Connoisseurs brand jewelry cleaners (I see this stuff in the Walmart jewelry department all the time)- dry disposable jewelry wipes, ultrasoft jewelry polishing cloth, and concentrated jewelry cleaner. I'm nervous about using the liquid cleaner but I've used the polishing cloth to clean my tarnished sterling silver jewelry (if you're poor like me you know...) and it works like a dream :-)

I found U-shaped HAIR PINS! OMG I LOVE THESE!! Instead of regular bobby pins I started using these type of hair pins years ago and it has seriously saved my hair. It takes some practice to get updos to hold in place- and sometimes I will use like 20 pins haha- but they don't pull my hair out.

 

OMG! this cool dispenser! GET THIS IF YOU SEE IT! whatever you use cotton balls or cotton pads for, this little bottle is amazing! hold the cotton ball on the top and push down, the cotton ball gets soaked and you'll never have a mess or spill. I use them for nail polish remover and my face toner (witch hazel).

clear plastic cosmetic organizer (for lipsticks and makeup brushes)

Bonnie Bell lip gloss, and ELF pencil sharpener set (I always lose my eyeliner pencil sharpeners wtf)

cute kitten stockings for Christmas *meow* >'.'<

colorful plastic buttons and Japanese style pencil cases (I used to have a Hello Kitty one growing up)

review: Simply Shea Deep Conditioner & Co-Wash (from Dollar Tree)

I bought this 6oz "Simply Shea" organic shea butter deep conditioner for my hair at Dollar Tree.

I like to mix in some of my purple hair dye (Sparks "purple passion") in with my deep conditioners

so that it tones my hair a little at the same time = multi-taking, thumbs up!

 

So I slapped this stuff on my hair and let it set for 2 hours...

and my hair felt super soft and nice after I rinsed it out and for the rest of the night...

but the next morning when I woke up my hair was super static clingy and as dry as before I "deep conditioned" it-

so Simply Shea obviously wasted my money! DO NOT BUY!

FLOWER gift sets at Ross! (Drew Barrymore)

For all you Walmart haters in the world, now you can purchase Drew Barrymore's FLOWER cosmetics at ROSS!

review: Color Changing Lipstick (Dollar Tree)

Let me take you on a little adventure I like to call "6am Clown School"...

 

It was 6am and I was getting ready- decided to try out this *fantastic* BLUEBERRY "color changing lipstick" I got from Dollar Tree... ok, well it goes on very sheer! So I couldn't exactly tell how much I was really putting on but after a few swipes I could see a berry pink, and my lips felt moisturized so I left the house happy...

Until driving down the street I caught a glimpse of myself in the car mirror: HELLO PINKY PIE!!

What a nightmare LOL no matter how much I wiped off, the color was still stained on my lips, AHHHH!!
