Im Baaaaaacck! lol Insanely long post&tons of pics

Hey honeybees!! So some of you have been asking where I have been... sadly to say my laptop died on me a couple days after hubby left and with him taking his laptop & not having the spare cash to blow on a macbook pro all I had was my blackberry and was sooo annoying trying to upload anything! SO I'm back and have 2 months of content to catch up on, hauls,tags,etc. so stay tuned for those :)

So what have I been up to these past months:
I was a classy 60's Bunny in honor of the playboy club, which has unfortunately been cancelled :(



My hubby is finally back yay!!!! We went and got our tree and all the trimmings today so very exciting :) Here it is:





I've been learning russian :) So far its been a fun challenge!! The Living Language coursebook is best for learning "conversational" russian just in case any of you were looking into learning a new language.



My name in Russian, I did it with eyeliner LOL Possible tattoo??


 And of course lots of shopping lol I've been obsessed with VS and anything pink recently

Their new fragrance "Gorgeous" I am absolutely in love with this perfume and went back and bought the full size, I also tried vs makeup for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised... I think their lipgloss in Innocent is a dupe for NARS Turkish Delight, but Ill do a more in depth post about that in my upcomming posts.
 Then as I was walking out I saw this and just HAD to have it lol <3

 Then did alitte on post shopping :) Got the new VS Vixen body spray, two glosses from the new revlon winter collection in Glitz&Glam and Cocktail Dress then Bonnebells Mocha Mousse which is a Mlbb and earrings from Stephen and Co, I was in the process of putting them in so that's why there's only one lol
 Wet n Wilds' new palette in Baked not fried... honestly this palette was kind of a let down. But I hate baked eyeshadows so I don't know what I really was expecting lol

 Wet n Wilds new Matte palette "I <3 Matte" Also didn't love the colors, it really clashes with my pale skin tone : /

So as all you lovely ladies know by now: The Revlon Lip Butters are amazing! I have Sweet Tart, Cupcake,Cotton Candy, Creme Brulee, Lollipop, and Berry Smoothie. If you want I can do swatches but im sure you all have seen so much of it already. Have you tried any, what are your fave colors?
 (This was a small haul, I got Revlons' Pink in the afternoon, lipbutters cupcake and cotton candy, sinful colors lipgloss in Pucker up & Kiss... they're surprisingly good for only 1.99, theyre creamy and smell like cupcakes!)

More shopping lol

I tried the new Belle Makeup brushes. I only got them for a dollar a piece so the fact that they absolutely suck isn't too much of a loss lol. At the same time the e.l.f. brushes I own are the same price tag but loads better so  that's a tad dissapointing but hey ho.

So I got another pair of earrings from Stephan & CO. I absolutely love their earrings!

This was a total bargain!! I got this from Kohls for only 11.00 down from 93.00!!  So vintage and I love it :)

I also love my new love ring from Debs, im still in the market for a gold love ring so if any of you honeybees know a place definitely let me know :) 
 I also tried L'Oreals' Eye Illuminator Mascara which isn't anything special. The formula is pretty drying and makes my lashes feel like sticks however I do love the glitter end. It would be perfect for a new year eve party!



I also added two new perfumes to my collection: Couture Couture by Juicy Couture and Jessica Simpson "Fancy"

Couture Couture: Honestly wasn't all that impressed! I love Viva La Juicy so I bought this without trying it first and now I regret it... when you first spray it it smells like straight up Grape soda and bubblegum which is totally gross to me then it floats into a grandma smell, then at the VERY end it opens up to a woody "incensey" smell which does truely smells good but lasts only about 30 min. I definitely will not be repurchasing sadly.


Fancy: Was definitely more my style its such a creamy vanilla gourmond! Smells like yummy baked goods! It also has a mysterious warm smell. If you're into these kind of fragrances I say give it a go :)

My current nail of the day is China Glaze Fault line over Revlons' Gumdrop




I also got extensions, the clip in kind and loooove them! I used to have hair down to my rear and then decided to cut it all off to my shoulders then cried when the hairdresser spun me around lol so ever since then I've been growing my hair out. I got mine from Sallys beauty Supply, the Sassy collection ones in shade 2 since my hair is a red on top and more cinnamon on bottom.I honestly don't have any complaints except they smell abit chemically funky when you first take them out of the packaging so I would say wash them first.


And last but certainly not least... D.D.O.J. lol
 He likes to sit on the windowsill lol yes he's basically a cat lol


Sleeping under the covers while mommy studies her russian :)
Jack&I hanging out and having a deep conversation as to why he shouldn't bark at people passing by on the street lol

I hope you dolls had a great past two months lol and thank you SO much for whoever waited for me :) You guys are the best! Till next time

Unbreakable Bond by Khloe&Lamar perfume Review


So I popped into my local drugstore last night just to have a look around since I was bored and low and behold I came across Khloe&Lamars new fragrance: Unbreakable Bond. Now I dont know if you remember but earlier this year there was alot of promotion and fuss about it.Everyone was raving about it but I just never shelled out the money.So you can imagine my delight when I saw that it was on sale for only 20!Nearly half its asking price and there was only one left so I snatched it as fast as I could and it wasnt till I took it out of the box till I remember it was a unisex perfume/cologne : / I'm never a fan of unisex fragrances, I honestly dont see the point. But anyways I'm a huge fan of Khloe&Lamar... I love that they promote marriage, love, and exceptance. I love her attitude about life and her fun personality and I'll admit was a factor in my split second decision to snatch it up. SO  about it:

"There's something sexy about a couple sharing a scent. Soft yet powerful, strong but sensual. That perfect mix of masculine and feminine... one cannot exist without the other... the BOND between two souls is truly... UNBREAKABLE."

Ok so being married I can relate to the mushy quote on the back and it has me feeling all warm&fuzzy towards the scent... That was until I sprayed it... DON'T  get me wrong, it truely does smell wonderful.. That is if you are a man lol. Its definitely (at least for me) more of a cologne which is abit of a dissapointment, but at the same time its a unisex fragrance so I can't really expect it to smell all feminine... lol
Throughout the day I would catch a wiff of the womanly side of it and was in love but, other times would catch a wiff of a manly cologne smell.


SO final thoughts:
How cute is the box!!??!? Khloe&Lamar are seriously so cute together and you can just see the love.
It Stays along time, the womanly side of it smells like heaven, but just for the fact that I can catch the manly cologne smell i'm not sure if I'd repurchase just yet. I'll keep you updated 


HOWEVER one thing Khloe&Lamar didnt skip on is luxe :) Even a K&L on the top of the cap... adorable! <3

Maybe Khloe will come out with a solo fragrance of which I will definitely buy :)

Have you tried Unbreakable??

Accesories and makeup haul

So I got my first paycheck and I KNOW I should save the money after I paid my bills but it was my first paycheck so I had to pick up some stuff I had been eyeing for a while (at least thats what im telling myself haha) First up is Accessories:
\

I went to Rainbow since I was bored and ended up walking out with waaaaaaayyy more than I entended to buy :P Ooops lol. But as you can see Im really into gold and jewelry that looks "antiquey" & expensive haha


and at the time I was taking pictures I was wearing these also from rainbow :)


Then I went to walgreens and Catos and got more earrings... you would think that I didnt have any earrings haha what can I say I'm addicted lol


and a trip to target  and Big lots as you can see I'm really into Lipstick pencils, is it weird that I love the wood lip pencil smell hahaha I think its out of nostalga of playing with ur moms makeup :) I finally got the elf lipstick in classy that I've been wanting but was always out of stock and L'Oreal Lipgloss in Rich Pink <3 Super pretty creamy pinky mauve. Im not sure how to wear the orange/ginger lippie 4th bottom left. Anyone have any tips??? :)


and I've also been into lip palettes so I picked this one up to Play around with, I can do a review later if ya'll want.


I'm really curious about the dark brown lipgloss, I'm guessing its there along with the white to mix with the other colors.


My naul shade is Orly Bus Stop Crimson, Perfect fall red


Then went to TJ Maxx and got theses fall tops, the first one is woven with cashmere and cost me a pretty penny but its oh soooo soft <3 I'm really digging the fall colors on me :)


Then while I was at Rainbow getting accessories I just had to pick a cute cardi and shirt up.


DDOJ: hes been enjoying me being home early today and snuggled while im blogging :) Its the little things

Hope you have a great rest of the week dolls !
