OK DOLLIES,HERE IS THE REVIEW ON THE BITCH SLAP COSMETICS EYESHADOWS THAT I ORDERED.THE FIRST IS PRETTY BITCH BY GRACE,IT IS A NICE MINI WHEEL,BUT PLEASE USE A BASE,BECAUSE IT IS NOT AS PIGMENTED AS I THOUGHT,NONETHELESS,I LOVED IT AND DID USE IT AGAIN.THE NEXT IS LAZY BITCH,IT HAS RED IN THE MINI WHEEL,I HAVEN'T USED IT YET,THE ONLY NON PIGMENTED ONE IS THE SILVER,BUT STILL A BASE IS NEEDED.I LOVE THE PRODUCT.THE ORDER IN MY OPINION TOOK TOO LONG,BUT SHE HAD THAT STATED ON HER WEBSITE,SO NO TRIP THERE.THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION,I HAD SENT HER A NOTE INQUIRING ABOUT SOME LIPSTICKS AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE A WRITE BACK OR ANYTHING WHICH KINDA RAISED A RED FLAG,BECAUSE I FEEL I AM A CUSTOMER AND I'M BRINGING YU MONEY,IN THE END I CHALKED IT UP AS IT IS WHAT IT IS AND LIFE GOES ON.I FUND TWO LIPSTICKS THAT IS CLOSE TO THE COLRS ANYWAY,SO OH WELL.WILL I ORDER AGAIN? YES,I SEE NO PROBLEM,SHE DON'T KNOW ME AND VICE VERSA.ALL IN ALL,I RATE THE ORDER A B.

MOM/ME CORNER:

HELLO DOLLIES,I AM ADDING A NEW ADDITION TO BLOG CALLED "MOM-ME",IT IS DEDICATED TO US MOTHERS,BESIDES DOING MAKEUP,RECEIPES,HAULS,AND OUTFITS REVIEWS,I WILL WRITING MY OPINIONS ON MOTHERHOOD AND SHOWCASING CHILDREN STUFF SUCH AS THE LATEST STYLES FROM MY TEENS DOWN TO THE LATEST STYLES FROM MY ADOLESCENT,THIS CORNER WILL BE DONE ON A TIME TO TIME BASES,BUT NONETHELESS,IT WILL BE DONE,THANK YOU,LOL NOW ON TO MY FIRST POSTING: TIPS FOR SINGLE PARENTS; As a single mother,I know first hand how fustrating it can be raising a child/children on your own.I am a single mother of 4 ages 15,13,12,and 8,I also work,and go to school,so to help keep me sane,here are a few tips I use to help keep the mind together: 1.assign chores-eveyone can do something,my oldest daughter she does the kitchen,my middle daughter does their bedroom,my only son does their bathroom,take out the trash,clean the garbage can,and cleans the dogs' pen,my youngest does the living room,I lways go and touch up when needed and I do "mommy's inspections".Do they fuss,YES,I have a time with my youngest,she is lazy,lol,like all youngest,she thinks she is the baby,and act like one.The middle always hates to clean their room,but does't want to do any other part of the house! How do I handle that?simply by NOT letting my gaurd down,if they don't do their chores,then I take away something they like,such as t.v.,computer,cellphones,telephones,snacks,and outside playing.I tell them that I donot have babies that are 2yrs or younger nor do I work for Merry Maids,if they want me to clean up after them,then they will have to PAY me.I also remind them,that picking up after themselves or doing chores at night gives them home advantage.In the end,I win,lol 2.Arrange 'MOMMY TIME' - This is my time to nap,read,or do whatever for 1 hour,they cannot bother me during that time,usually my gang likes to play so in the evning when chores are done,they are outside playing. 3.One of the biggest problems in my house is compromise especially when it comes to the computer,so I usually give them 30 minutes,after the girls are done,my son usually gets on it until he is tired,but I designate t.v.and computer time,I teach them about compromising. 4.if your children are young and/or if you are expecting a baby,definitely schedule bedtimes,naptimes,eating times,etc.you will find this VERY important.Whenever my children were young or when I was pregnant,I had them on a schedule,they arose and went down at the same time,I found this very helpful whenever I went back to work.Donot give up,it will take a while for this routine to work.Also,children cds and classical music was my best friend,lol,I recently stopped putting on classical music for my children,but still go back to it,whenever,they need help falling asleep.now it's all about Nikki Minaj,Drake,or Lil Wayne,lol or Katy Perry(my youngest reminded me,lol). 5.Hold meetings- I hold monthly meetings with my gang and post new info on the fridge,these meetings gives all of us an oppurtunity to get out feelings or fustrations or concerns,I also get to hear their point of views on things.I also have a notebook that they can use to write me a note if they want to discuss something privately,sometimes it don't work,because they use the time t talk to me whenever I am in the bathtub(except my son,he catches me in my room). 6.Get to know your children's friends-My 13 y/o had been acting out in school this year,this is her first year of jr.high and it has not been a good one(each of my children take trns acting out,my middle acted out all last year,now sh'e alright,my son every now and then,the youngest NO COMMENT,I have to amke her a lunch for every time she gets an A in conduct,I also pop up visit.)She was playing follow the leader,now that the girl has moved,I have seen a slight improvement,so,yes,get to know your child/children's friends. 7.Enlist the help of a family member or friend-from time to time their dad,grandmother or neighbor helps me,but since I have two older daughters,they pretty much watch their baby sister for me. that should be about it,but if I have anymore tips,I will include them in my next blog.

MY KMART HAUL

Hello Dollies, went to Kmart today to pick up their Smart Sense bottled water they had on sale(2 for$7.00,what a deal,i love Dasani and Sam's Club brand,but I LOVE a deal,2 35 bottles at that),but anywho(lol),I went like I always do and browsed the makeup section of the store,I had no luck,because no brand seemed to put out a new spring collection,so before I decided to give up,I went into the purse section of the store,and low and behold the fabolous clearanced makeup baskets,so like a true shopaholic,I looked.I found mostly Rimmel products,and I think I found the perfect 2nd nude lipstick!!!I haven't tried them yet,but swatched the products for you to see,I do plan to do a video so check that out.enjoy!!

Some Mac Dupes: Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday and Lady Gaga's Viva Glam

Hey dollies,I found the perfect dupe for the Mac's Pink Friday and Lady Gaga Viva Glam,if you have some things to take care of and putting some priorities first,here are some cheap,inexpensive dupes,in my opinion,that will hold you off,until you get right,lol,now the Nicki Minaj lipstick,I could not get,everytime,I would place an order,it was sold out,yes,SOLD OUT,so as I was organizing my makeup containers,I came across my Wet N Wild lipstick,and it matched perfectly,in my opinion,to what I seen on Youtube's reveiws,so i'm happy with my dupe,it is not the kind of lipstick you would wear everyday or without a base,because it is a bright pink,but I love it,i'm bold like that,lol.The Lady Gaga dupe,I found in Kmart,it is a NYC lipstick,it is only $1.89!!(the Nicki one is $.99cents),to me,it is perfect as well,the best nude color,besides Maybelline's sand,but it has that "can't tell" difference.I tend to wear the NYC lipstick everyday or close to it.so dollies I hope you enjoyed my reveiw,please checkout my video on these dupes.

Review: Kleancolor 24 Eyeshadow Palettes

I purchased these two eyeshadow palettes friday from a clothing store.The swatches were pigmented,however that was not the case when I applied it on,now I feel it will get pigmented I apply it with time,some of the shadows are pigmented,sme are not.Not to say that all Klean Color palettes are like that,because they are not,will I purchase these palettes again? probably not,but I do like Klean Color products.

Review: PorkDaisy

Hello Dollies,i FINALLY took the pictures for you to see the NYX products that I ordered from the website PorkDaisy(http://www.porkdaisy.com),so/ here's the review and you can also checkout my youtube review as well:

The order was fast,very fast,I ordered on a sunday and that wednesday I received my order,they emailed me immediately to let me know my order was on the way.My package was neatly wrapped,overall,I was very satisfied with my order and do plan t order again.I ordered the NYX jumbo pencil in Black bean and the mega shine lipgloss in Dolly Pink,the lipgloss does have a shine to it,I wear like a chapstick or vaseline under it for my lips to stay moist,however if you have not given your lips a scrub,it will cake and show.Black bean is a nice charcal black,I used it as a base for my dark color eyeshadows and it shows great(depending on the eyeshadows),I also use it as a eyeliner and I like the way it glides on,the only problem...trying to find a big sharpener,lol.
