Alright people,
I am upset right now...so I decided to start my ON BLAST! series.

Okay so,
I ordered some cosmetics from E.L.F.com (I told ya'll on on of my videos) on
OCTOBER 12th.
It is now OCTOBER 29th.
That don't sound like 5-7 business days to me!!
Would you believe that I STILL have NOT received my shipment!!!!! I mean, I'm in NY (that's where the headquarters are), so I could just go get my stuff! lol!
I know it doesn't work like that, but DANG!
LETS GET IT TOGETHER PEOPLE!
SO, ELF COSMETICS HAS BEEN PUT ON BLAST!!!!

Tuesday: Lazy Day

Okay so, today I stayed at home and really did nothing but hang in my uncle's downstairs studio, watch him work on some music for a film, and I also got the opportunity to write to one of his songs...so I had a pretty productive day, as far as music goes! I'm having a good time here..so far its been a productive trip.
I'm getting lots of advice on music, college, and life in general!
I love my family and love coming to visit!


Okay, so now for some Duchess of Cheap business...lol
I'm hoping to do some more shopping on Friday, but if not, I won't be mad, I'll just go in Atlanta!
I can come back to NY anytime I please, && that's the beauty of having a retired flight attendant for a mom! :-)



Till tomorrow,
MUAH!

O.M.G!

PEOPLE!!
I found something that almost made me FAINT!!
Have you ever heard of Coastal Scents Makeup??!?!?!
I was on youtube checking out some makeup videos, and came across lovekisses99's channel.
She was doing a back to school tutorial in August and she used an 88 shade warm palette from Coastal Scents, now I'm thinking, this is expensive, because aint nobody selling no 88 shades for under at least 100 bucks! So I went to the website and saw that it was super CHEAP!!
Ya'll, an 88 shade eyeshadow palette (YES! 88 SHADES!! AAAHH!) for ONLY $18.95!!
Photobucket
I am ordering as we speak!
Im so happy!
Here's the web address:
Get yours today!!!!!!!
