TEMPTU HAUL & SHECKY'S

HAUL & REVIEW: TARTE SMOOTH OPERATOR

If you're searching for that perfect finishing powder, look no further because it's here!

It's Tarte Cosmetics' Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Finishing Powder. It not only sets your makeup, it also hydrates your skin and absorbs oil. The powder also reduces the appearance and size of pores by 20% which I think a lot of people like. It's also talc-free, so you won't get that white cast that some, if not most, finishing powders give. The powder contains Amazonian clay, which I believe, is a gift from God. It really keeps your skin hydrating and looking young. It also keeps your skin from drying out and flaking.

I honestly LOVE this product. I use it on my eyeliner and it keeps it from smudging. I've finally found my HG finishing powder. I included a review video below.

If you end up trying the product, let me know what your take on it is =)

HAUL 11.17.10

Just wanted to say...

New Season, New Me

Good news: I'm back!

Bad news: I still lack my own computer and camera =(.

It's been way too long since I've written something on here. But at least it gives me a lot to tell you. A lot of changes happened from Spring to Fall. Bad and good things, but mostly good. I have pictures to help tell my story too so no worries. There are a lot but I'll just choose the ones I think fit the bill better.

And if anyone knows of an iPhone app for Blogger, please let me know. It'd be easier for me to update since I'm always on my phone.

Hope all y'all have been good and healthy.

I swear, I'll be back soon. With pictures this time.

spring update

Hope all of you beauties are doing great out there! I apologize again for the lack of updates. Not having a laptop of my own sucks ass. If you follow me on twitter, I update all the time lol.

It's Holy Week, which means Easter is this Sunday, which means I can buy makeup again! I gave up makeup shopping (among other things) for Lent. I am so surprised on how long I've gone without buying even a small tube of lipgloss. And it doesn't help that I've been watching all these damn haul vids. Yeah I know, super smart of me. But I love watching haul videos. At least I have four more days.

But CVS wants to test my willpower with $5 L'oreal products and Revlon BOGO FUCKING FREE! Just until April 3rd y'all, so get on that if you want new makeup and shizz.

Oh, and I have 3 months left to lose the weight I want before the Vegas bachelorette party. I've been doing my best to eat healthier, more veggies, less red meat, smaller portions and not eating past 9pm. It's too hard! But I'm motivated. And I bought a bathing suit top one size smaller so ha! And I've been playing tennis again. I've seriously missed playing tennis. Trust me when I say I suck at all sports, but that one. Just hitting that ball with a successful forehand is second nature to my body. Like I said the first night of tennis to my bff: "We're home!"

Once Easter arrives, I'll be going a bit makeup crazy. I purchased the Philosophy Purity Cleanser and I must say, I'm loving it so far. I'll put up a review of it next time.

Vegas, Betch!

It's already the end of January O_O. Where the hell did the time go!? I will ask this question numerous times throughout the upcoming months. I'm pretty sure you will too lol.

Just wanted to share my 3rd experience in Vegas. This time around, my niece and her husband were able to join us. The reason we went is because he's bound to be deployed anytime this year and they've never been to Vegas together. Here's a quick recap in pictures.

Stayed at the Rio and ate at the World Buffet once we arrived. You know you have to hit up a buffet at least once while you're in Vegas. We hit up two lol. The second one was the seafood buffet.

Friday Night: Girls/Gay Night Out!

We went to Krave Nightclub. It was hella fun and my niece kept screaming and wanting to take pictures with all the gogo dancers. What a noob haha.

My outfit for the night. You can't see my cute Steve Madden booties =T

My niece, Jessa, and I. She's the one that lives in WA.

BFF Lorraine on the right. Our theme was sequins

The Besties
That's Kristi on the right. We all go way back =)

One of the best GoGo dancers. This bitch was doing flips and shit! And they were fluid. Like he was housing in mid-air haha. I like how my face is next to his mussy. That's man-pussy for ya.

Saturday: Serendipity & Strrrrrrip Clubbbbbb

Jason and I in front of The Forum Shoppes

All 11 of us in front of Serendipity. I can go for a Hangover omelette right about now.

Jason and I in the Rio suite. That's Gold Coast in the bg. Dude. That hotel is scary -_-

inside the stretch Escalade limo. Wish we weren't scammed =( We were all druuuuunk though...

Ladies section of Sapphire Club. This was our first time at a strip club! Some of the guys were cute. We only had half an hour in there, so we went to the Guys section to find our men. We ended up staying an hour getting motorboated hahahaha. Yeah.

Sunday: Rio Seafood Buffet & The Bank

watching the Sirens show in front of Treasure Island

We always end up coordinating haha.

The Bank Nightclub @ Bellagio
Place was friggin' packed on a Sunday night. We left early since some of us had flights in the morning.

It's always a blast going to Vegas and mobbing everywhere we go. I'll be hitting up Vegas again in June with only titties and vajays for my girl's bachelorette porty. Can't wait for that shit! In the meantime, I'll be doing my best to save money and lose the weight I want to.

If anyone has any suggestions for exercising or healthy food recipes, please let me know. It's very hard for me to diet because I really love eating and cooking food. Help a shorty out!

Sorry for the somewhat random ass post =T

'Til my next adventure!

2010: The Year for Change

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! I hope all of you had a great time ringing in the new year with loved ones.

I have so many resolutions this year. One of them is keeping up with this blog. I've somehow forgotten I have the option to write out my emotions. I kept a lot of my emotions bottled up last year and that's another thing I need to change. Man, I'm gonna be working hard this year lol.

So here's to an improved me. I know I can't completely change who I am, but I can definitely work on the bad habits that I've collected along the way.

I'll try to post pics from the various parties I attended last night. Gotta collect them on FB, nawmsayin'?

Love,
Rita
