My Closet Mondays! (with a TWIST!)

Hello Everyone!!

Welcome to my blog,

If you are reading for the first time, I do "My Closet Mondays" every Monday night and give you a look into my closet and my cheap shopping finds..

I didn't go shopping this week for any clothes...BUT I did do a little makeup shopping && basic necessity shopping!

I went to Sally's today and bought some bronzer, pigment eyeshadow, and 3 eye pencils...

They are so pretty and give off the SAME exact pigmentation as your MAC or other expensive products, of course MAC is great, but Miss Alex ain't got MAC money! :-)...

Mineral Effects Bronzer

"Tropic Touch"

Price: $7.99

Mineral Effects Pigment

"Sandy Beach"

Price: $5.99

Eye Pencils

"Smoke"

"White"

"Blonde"

Price: $1.99 each

Okay so, I went shopping this weekend with my mother && we got soooooo much CUTE stuff for soooooo cheap!

Like I said before...it AIN'T about WHAT you wear, its about HOW you wear it!

Labels aren't everything..

&& 9 times out of 10, you can buy the SAME pair of expensive jeans, shirts, or jewelry you want for wayyyyy less at a bargain store or on a sale rack!!

I mean c'mon forreal! Who is gonna know but you where you got your stuff??!!

But lemme tell ya'll, I am NOT ashamed...when I shop cheap, I am saving money and getting MORE things!! I'd rather get 10 things for $50 than 1 thing for the same price!!!

Okay, I think ya'll got the point!! :-)
