2011 Borghese brush set from Costco!

Finally got my hands on these, picked it up today! I have the 2009 set (which i love). ;D Had to get them because the quality & price of the brushes are money saving & amazing!

These brushes are alot "taller" than the ones i bought but i like it. Very soft! They come with a "pleather" brush bag, great for traveling. & a plus for them adding names on the brush handles! Again i'm impressed ;]

**and yes they have a STRONG chemical smell to them when you first open the box but i'm pretty sure it'll go away after a few washes ;]

Been a while...

Heres a few things i picked up recently. mmm.. sulfur. ;]

2 small tubs of Sulfur 10% ointment, made by "De La Cruz". I bought a jar of this stuff a few days ago and it's amazing for pimples and blackheads. The ointment is kinda greasy like but a little bit of this stuff goes a long way. You can use it under makeup, spot treat random pimples or leave it on overnight. Had this annoying planet forming and this stuff made it disappear the next day! Had to grab 2 more for "just in case" future uses.

Mother of Pearl lightening cream by "Grisi". To get rid of old acne scars. Hope it works lol

T.N Dickinsons Witch Hazel as a facial toner.

Sulfur bar soap by "Grisi".

>>I've read quite a few reviews on how well sulfur works on zits & blackheads. I've tried out alot of products for acne and  i've never used anything that worked so fast! I found mine at walmart but other people say you can find it at cvs, walgreens or riteaid.

Thrift & a small Neutrogena haul. ;]

Haven't updated in a while w/ any goodies but i'd like to share what i recently found & bought myself from these past few weeks..  It's been a looong time, okay maybe a month, since i've thrifted but i did today and found this vintage floral overnight bag from Gitano.

I don't know how i spotted it because it had other bags/purses in front of it.. guess it was the flowers! ;] I don't own anything w/ flower prints, i think. I'm usually careful with the bags i have interest in (when thrifting) but i had a good feeling about this one! I love weekender bags! You never know when you might need to use it! ;p

Last week i picked up some Neutrogena products. I'm in love w/ their facial cleansers! I switched my whole skincare routine because of it! they're my top pick of drugstore facial products.. I own 2 of their anti-aging creams, moisturizer w/ spf and toner and i want more! Then to my favorite mutli-tasking soap ever Dr. Bronners.. I already have the peppermint one but just knowing how tea tree oil works w/ it's anti bacterial properties i had to get it.. Great for makeup brushes! I'm planning on getting the almond & lavender.. Even though i know these bottles will last me FOREVER! So until then, like twitter => follow me (my blog if u like it!) :D

Thrift earrings..

Found these purty earrings today. My fav are the coin pair. Never seen anything like it ;}

Vintage City Coach purse.

A bit old & scratchy but i'm in love! Thinks it's my best Goodwill find so far!.. ;]

 

Thrift & Target goodies ;]

 

 

I've been thrifting like crazy for the past few weeks because of being amazed at what cool things i can find and it's so much fun! I made a stop at my local thrift shop (never knew the place exsisted!) and i made a few purchases, found some cute pieces but i'm more excited about my 2 findings! LOVELOVELOVE! These cute cross-body purses for 1.00! Light brown purse is made by Renaissance & the Black leather purse is by Hidesign.

From target.. EcoTools travel cosmetic bag w/ brushes! Spent 16.00 just because i wanted the stippling brush.. lol.. Couldn't find it anywhere were they sold it by itself so i took the chance and got it even though i own the other brushes ;)

You can never have "too many" colors!

Bought more colors today.. Hand picked some polishes from Kleancolor that didn't already have, sparkles, shimmers, calcium & strengthener. I'm growing out my nails or atleast i'm trying. Everytime i "try" i always do something random and chip one! Atleast doing it this way i'm saving some cash to design & pamper them myself rather than gettin' them done. Doesn't mean i'm quittin' that though lol.





Other colors i own. ;]

More skin care buys..

Toners & moisturizers.. ;]

Skin CARE, Skin FOOOOD! Trying to take better care of my skin more than ever.. So i picked up some facial products to test out. I'ma sucker for new things! I take one look, i buy! lmao ;D

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, Avalon Organics Skin Nourishing Antioxidant Intensive Vitamin C, Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturizer, Formula 10.0.6 So Totally Clean Deep Pore Cleanser, Formula 10.0.6 Seriously Shine Free Mattifying oil-free moisturizer, Yes to carrots Lip butters..
