Everybody`s Wearing Cargo Skinny Pants This Season!



Hey all. Cargo Skinny Pants are totally in for this fall season. Many celebrities have been already been spotted wearing the most famous ones, J Brand "Houlihan" Skinny Cargo Pants. The style originally started on Balmain runways and many designers have incoporated on the style. Me being a huge fan wanted to buy the actual ones but they are SOLD OUT in many places. Luckily I found ones that were an exact dupe of them for about 90% off. I also found some other good ones in a similar style.





Dupes I found buy the brand Almost Famous retailing for about $30.00.


I got these pictures from Mandee.com but I found that other stores such as Pay Half or Strawberry also carries them. So I bought it from there for about $22.00! These are very good dupes. The detailing is very very identical to J Brands, even the color! They also had one available in Khaki too, which I might go back to get.

Some celebrities wearing it. Everybody's wearing them this season!

Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipsticks


Hi guys. As you know I did a huge Rite Aid haul on Revlon products when they had their products on sale for 40% off the original prices and also giving a $4 coupon for every $10 I spent. So I have bought quite a lot of their lipsticks and I really liked the creme formula form when I tried the colors Berry Haute and Sandalwood Beige. I realized I was lacking on my pink lippies so I tried to make u on that. So here's what I bought.

Ginger Rose (131)
Pink In The Afternoon (415)
Pink Velvet (423)
Sassy Mauve (463)
Just Buff Enough (613)
Peach Me (628)



Ginger Rose (131)
This color is a great nude with a hint of pink/red that has warm undertones. No shimmers. I love this lipstick so much. I recommend to many others and they have actually learned to like it. Plus, the formula is smooth, pigmented, and glides on well. I love this color a lot.




Pink In The Afternoon (415)
This is a nice typical regular bright pink with no shimmers. What I really like about this its a bright pink that tanned skin can wear. I think this is a color is universal and many people will like this color. This is creamy and buildable, and one of my favorites!




Pink Velvet (423)
I love this color. It's an everyday magenta pink with no shimmer. It compliments my skin a lot. I think this color is very underrated because I never really heard many blogs recommending it. It's creamy, pigmented, and I only need two layers and I'm good. I like this one!




Sassy Mauve (463)
This is a pink/mauve with cool purple undertones. It has no shimmer. Very pretty, creamy, pigmented, and a great everyday color. I highly recommend.




Just Buff Enough (613)
This color is a peach nude that does not match my skintone. Out of all the Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipsticks I tried, this one is actually very dry and does not build up well. (In the photo I have about 8-10 layers!) I do not like this lipstick at all and regret buying it.




Peach Me (628)
This color is a peachy-orange with a golden/yellow pearl/frosty glaze to it (even shown on sticker). It is listed as a Creme finish but I believe it should be listed as a Pearl Finish. This color is creamy but not matte. I like this color though, but not as extraordinary like the others.

I hope this was helpful. I've learned to love drugstore lipsticks as MAC prices begin to hike and as I don't hear about any of their upcoming discount sales.

Have you guys tried these yet? If so, are there any that you would recommend?

The Perfect Pink Lipstick

Hey guys, as you know I've been purchasing a lot of lipsticks lately, the reason mainly because I was just trying to find good lipsticks that work very well with my tan/olive complexion. While I have been doing my drugstore hauls I picked up Maybelline's Windsor Rose because I saw it was in CVS for 50% off retail. And I must say I absolutely love this soo much! Soo much that I used it a numerous amount of times on regular days or for special events.


I love everything about this lipstick, the color, the formula, the smell, texture, EVERYTHING! The color is very creamy yet opaque at the same time. It's a mauve-pink that is blue based and contains no shimmer or shine. The texture is very similar to my YSL lipsticks, that it feel very creamy, like butter in my lips. It smells like watermelons which I like!

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick, Windsor Rose A60


This lipstick has seriously become my holy grail! And after introducing to my sister, who had the same feelings about the color, I had to buy another one. I tried the CVS I bought it from, but it was all gone. And then my local CVS, gone! And then my Rite Aid and many many Duane Reades, gone! I went crazy the day I found out that this color which I thought I've seen everywhere before had just become discontinued! I even tried the internet and all drugstore websites didn't carry it anymore. I was even going to try Ebay, but I was doubting it. Finally after looking all over the internet I went back on the CVS website (which had it, but then disappeared and freaked me out) and they had it again. I wanted to buy atleast 10 of these but they only had 4 available, so I bought them all! :)


I never ever expected a drugstore product to make me go this crazy! I just can't believe how they would discontinue such a nice color. If you guys still find this at a store, grab it, its a must have!


Have you guys ever had a similar experience when you found out your new favorite product has been discontinued?
