CVS Beauty Clearance Sale Mini Haul

         A few days ago I visited two different CVS Stores in search for a few items I saw on  http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2012/06/cvs-beauty-clearance-sale-update.html and on some youtube haul videos. The First CVS I went to didn't have much  with stickers on it or came up on sale from the master list. Long story short I just ended up getting the Essence of Beauty Smokey Eye Shadow Brush for just $0.80!! It has a $1.00 off coupon inside the packaging. I went to another CVS location about 6 minutes from the other store which had much more on sale. There I got the Rimmel Day 2 Night Mascara in Black for just $2.19!! Amazing deal for a mascara! That was the only thing that I wanted that was actually on sale(I made a list from the items on the master list which was just a few different mascaras) Basically, for me anyways, the sale is a bust because the same things aren't on sale nation wide. I am happy for all the people who were able to get great stuff for bargain prices but for me I will save my time and gas to do something more worth while.

Trey Songz Heart Attack(New Single)

So if you haven't heard yet and are a huge Trey Songz fan(Like me!!!) He just released a new song called Heart Attack last week. I first learned about it on Itunes a few days ago and had no clue of its existance before because of the Justin Bieber Boyfriend Frenzy!!! The song was acttually released the exact same day as Boyfriend but I didn't hear any publicity for the song on Twitter or Facebook. Maybe his people should work on that next time so more people will know about it(Just a suggestion) As soon as I heard the minute thirty second preview on iTunes I loved it. I have been replaying it ever since that moment. I haven't purchased the single but I listen to the song on youtube and just keep pressing the replay button. I prefer to wait to the cd drops in stores and just buy that than buying a single song. Today while listening to a local radio station I heard it and the dj said a lot of people have been requesting it!!! The song is about how when you love somebody and then you break up the pain from not being with them is like the pain one might feel when experiencing a heart attack. The emotion conveyed in his voice makes me want to cry. It's so real and tells a tale of how the heart is so vulnerable that when love is percieved to be lost it shatters like broken glass. I love that Trey is singing this song because a lot of the time songs about heartache are sung by women. This just goes to show that guys have feelings too and that they cry for some of the same reasons women do. It is perfectly healthy for everybody to cry every now and then. The song is going to be on Trey's upcoming album Chapter V(Which to my knowledge has no published release date) His R&B crooning sings to my soul and probably many others based on the popularity of it. One of my favorite lines is "And If I lose you I'm afraid I would lose who, who I gave my love to. That's the reason I stay around even though I fell way in too deep" It's like if you stay around thaat person you still feel that connection even though you know that the relationship is over but you still wanna be near them. I know that for me personally heartbreak is the worst pain that I have ever felt in my entire life so this song is like kind of therapeutic in a way. Anywho take a listen and when the cd comes out in stores be sure to support Trey and purchase it!!

I saw Breaking Dawn Part 1!!!! Summary and review

Today I saw the most highly anticipated movie of the entire year(well it is in my opinion anyways)..... you guessed it, The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1!!!!! I went in the afternoon, matinee is just a lil bit cheaper and a lot less crowded lol. Got to the movies on time and got good seats and then the previews started. Seven movie previews preceded the actual movie -____-. The previews were: Snow White and the Huntsman, The Hunger Games, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo(American version), The Lady in Black, Gone, Titanic 3-D, and Man on A Ledge. The suspense was building with every passing preview. So the movie basically starts off with the wedding prep then the wedding. Bella's dress was beautiful but I just did not like the pleating on the front. It had this really pretty lace design on the back and the fabric was perfect. When Bella walked down the isle it looked like she wanted to run back into the house or something but that all changed the moment she locked hands with Edward and looked into his eyes. They had traditional vows and shared many kisses when they were pronounced Mr. & Mrs. Edward Cullen. It seamed like they used like 5 songs from the soundtrack during the wedding scenes and the reception. I was like "Why are they playing all these songs so close together??? They need to chill out with that!" The speeches at the reception were definitely memorable and funny. List of ppl who gave a speech:Charlie, Jessica, Edward, and Renee(who sung a song that was more like a lullaby and cried while she sung) It was pretty hilarious. Then Edward took Bella in the woods for a surprise gift...Jacob(who had runaway and had been missing since he got his invitation to the wedding). Edward went back to the reception and left Bella and Jacob alone. They danced together and everything was going fine until Jacob just had to ruin it by asking about the honeymoon and getting angry at Bella for what she was going to do. Then when he grabbed Bella, Edward and the wolves appeared to talk some sense into Jacob and get him to leave. Edward and Bella went on their honeymoon to a private island called Isle Esme. Then there was a bed breaking, pillow tearing up sex scene. After bruising Bella and feeling guilty Edward basically decides that they are not going to have sex again. So instead they do other things like play a lot of chess, explore the island, and go swimming b the waterfall. One day Edward goes to the mainland for something I can't remember and Bella cooks herself some chicken. After eating some chicken she starts to feel sick and throws up blaming it on food poisoning. Then she comes to the realization that she has missed her period omg she is pregnant!!! They end their honeymoon and go back home to Forks to the Cullen's house(although they did lie to Charlie and said they were still on vacation) Then to keep things short, Jacob breaks away from the pack and becomes an alpha of his own pack along with Leah and Seth. They protect Bella and her fetus from Sam and his disciples. Bella progressively gets worse as the fetus gets older taking nutrients and things that give her strength. Eventually they figure since the baby is part vampire, they should have Bella drink blood. And it works!!! She starts to get a lil bit better and her heart beats stronger.  They remove the baby from Bella(Very graphic scene!!! Edward has to bite her stomach to get through the amniotic sac.) Out comes a beautiful baby girl and Bella dies. Edward then injects morphine and bites Bella numerous times to turn her. Then a fight scene,the  Cullens and Jacob's pack vs Sam's pack. Then they are told that they can't kill the baby because Jacob has imprinted on her. Bella is in a coma like state for days appearing to still be dead until the venom starts to kick in and her body starts healing and filling out giving her a healthy appearance. Then she opens her eyes(bright red ravenous vampire eyes) The End!!!

ok so for the review whew that was a long summary lol. It represented the book well but I still prefer the book because of the extra details you get. This movie was to me visually worse than eclipse although the special effects were really good. The part where you hear what the wolves were thinking was really weird though because they sounded like transformers -___-. The way Kristen Stewart looked in this movie kind of scared me. Her face was all sunken in and her collar bones and shoulder blades stuck out(Very unhealthy anorexic look) I hate cliff hangers so I kinda wish I didn't see it and the other part of me wants to see this movie every day until part 2 comes out next year(hopefully the push up the date*crosses fingers*) This movie had the most normal kissing scenes for Rob and Kristen(In all the other twilight movies they kiss very awkwardly) This movie seemed shorter than the other movies. Idk what is gonna happen in part 2, to me there aren't that many important things that happen(not enough for another movie anyways. I'm very curious to see what they chose to show in part 2) Taylor looked so grown up with the facial hair(In the book he had longer hair again like in Twilight). It really suits him and his acting is getting better. I thought the movie was going to be shown through Bella's perspective first and then through Jacob's like the book. In the movie it was basically through Bella's perspective like the other movies. Everybody stepped up their acting in this movie. Overall the movie was pretty good I would rate it 7.5/10 stars(score is a reflection of my personal opinion and the fact that I hate cliff hangers!!!!)

Swatches from my salonsavings.com haul

As mentioned in my video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsrsWqGHwU0) I ordered 4 OPI nail polishes from salonsavings.com because I was looking for OPI nail polish at a discounted price and came across this website. This was the first website that actually had the names of the nail polishes and you were able to click on each individual polish to which you are directed to its own page. The pictures of the polishes do not get bigger so you need to either google swatches of the polish you want to buy or search it on youtube. The pictures on the website can be a little tricky so it is in your best interest to do your research first. This website has more than OPI nail polish. They have Essie nail polishes, china glaze nail polishes, hair products, hair styling products(hair straighteners, curlers etc.), and even perfumes. Everything is reasonably priced and shipping is $5.95 for everything. It is sent via usps priority mail which is pretty fast!! I had a great experience shopping from this company and look forward to shopping there again soon for more OPI nail polishes(They're my new obsession) Anywho onto the swatches....

First up is We'll always have Paris

 

Pictured below is Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ

 Pictured below is Señorita Rose-alita

Pictured below is The one that got away

Next is all four nail polish bottles

This one is all nail polishes and swatches

this one is my attempt with silver shatter on top

If you can get the crackle polish just right it will look great with any of them. I however am horrible at it lol but I'm trying...

Opi mini... Is it really worth it???

                                                             OPi mini vs full size

             Full size bottle in the shade the one that got away(Katy Perry Collection)

            Mini bottle in the shade The show must go on(Burlesque Collection)

While on Ebay just browsing I found this set of mini opi nail polishes from the Burlesque collection and I bought them. When I recieved them in the mail, to my surprise they look like they were for children. While I only paid around $9.00 and got free shipping(Yeaaaaaa free shipping!!!!!!) I was a little disappointed. You can probably get around 4-6 uses out of the mini bottle(depending on how many coats you paint each time) I do however think it would be a great gift or stocking stuffer, but for me however I will not be purchasing any more. I would rather buy a full size bottle than have 4 mini bottles. But hey thats just me. See for yourself in my pictures above and you decide. What do you think???

This wild heart of mine is gonna get me in trouble

Ok so lately(in the last week) I have been obsessed with this new to me song, Wild heart by Sabi(the girl featured in Cobra Starship You make me feel... and Britney Spears Drop dead beautiful) It has a sort of club feel with a lil bit of dub step. I even got a free download of the song from Sabi's fan website! I can thank the Kim and Kourtney take new york commercial for introducing this song to me. The lyrics are written very well its like a tale of a complicated love story gone awry. It kind of reminds me of Eminem ft Rihanna love the way you lie but without all the violence.If you haven't heard it yet you can hear it on the  video above(Its official!!!)
