Shopping Craze
Fall is arriving soon. Time to unpack those long sleeves and beautiful trench coats... Im saddened that summer will be coming to an end, however thinking about the leaves turning colors, and coveting the floors like blankets of mother nature's warmth - it aint so bad. Time to whip out my dusty manny camera and do it up old style. Process my films and shoot some nice photographs to decorate my room. :) I took some photographs of the new crapola that i got in the mail a few days back, but havent had the chance to post any up. I even captured a photo of my eye with makeup! Whoo hoo, thats a total first for me. I'll update that tonight hopefully.
On the side note I am so lemming these boots and shoes right now... my feet can just taste em *slurrrppp*
Steve Madden Pasha Sandal in Multi tone black ~ $63 on Endless
I love the two tone colors on this shoe, and the front portion of the platform doesnt shoe as much because the straps are covering it so i like that. The T Strap is my favorite part, makes for a sexy shape and gives it an Edgy look that im loving. These babies are standing tall at 4inches ladies, but the cut off is that there's a nice 1 inch in the front to support your mountain trekking needs.
Chinese Laundry leather wedge boot ~ ON SALE AT MACY'S !! $99.00 AND with a coupon for 20% off from Macy's which im sure many of you get in the mail, turn around price for these luxurious boots are only $80.00. Freaking Fabulous
The top of these boots are foldable, there is a slight elastic band in the back of the boot that allows for a comforting fit. Its also Edgy looking because you can always leave it up and sport a lavish skirt and peacoat with these fly mama's . They are knee high when up, and below the knee when folded. Theres also a small wedge in the back which is fantastic - reason why is because during the winter you tend bust up your boots and shoes more, due to the harsh weathers like rain and slush ( if you're living the big apple or any rainy or wintery state ) Well if you've worn out your boots like i have , you'll soon discover the fuzzy feeling of COLD SLUSH in your SOCKS! These wedges will give you the extra support you need to prevent that from happening versus boots that fall flat on the floor.
BCBGirls tosca lace up booties ~ Price Varies from store to store, ultimately you will find that it is sold out everywhere that practically has discounts and the only place left on earth to find these babies are at Nordstrom for a whopping $110.00
I've been wanting these booties since i could remember the last time some chick wafted by me in them on broadway. Then one day i stumbled upon the Hot Neo-Verona's Blog and saw her purchase them for 60 bucks CAD !!! how is it that she can get them at some random store she just waltzes in and i have been in search for these babies since dinasaurs exsited. :*( Life is not fair. These shoes are just uber cute and would go great with almost anything. Yes anything , even a garbage bag plopped on top of your head. :*( I want I want!!
Im gonna post up my Makeup Removers blog tonight hopefully. It would be ideal for ladies who wear contacts as i will be comparing the formulas to see whether or not they blur my vision while i have my contacts on.
Bye Ladies :)

New Shoes and Lancome Purchase!!
Don't mind me kids, im tired as hell. Couldn't even keep my eyes open during the train ride. ZzZzZz..work has definetly got me worn out. booo! ;( I was planning to do a nice picture of myself with the new toys i got in the mail and in stores... but i can't even bring it to myself to blow dry my long ass hair. Im just lying on the bed , and letting it air dry, which might take forever considering my length. Enough bullcrap talk, on with the show.
Went to Macy's yesterday in plans to make a payment to my card. Hopped around the main floor just poking my nose in things looking for a sweet deal on something nice fer myself and came across the YSL counter. The male SA instantly jumped in front of me urging me to try something so i smiled and said.. okay buddy, why not? I touch a few things here and there, mind you i don't put makeup on during a work day so im looking dead ass tired. He reaches for the Touch Eclat and says.. you need this honey. Gee thanks. Surprisingly enough, it was really creamy... and it looked quite nice, but a bit on the light side. I asked, is this a concealer? He replies, yes it is. I thought in my head, you filthy lying bastard, its a luminizer you turd. I dabbed it on my wrist and said.. cool. Thanks! and walked away. haha - i could be wrong about it being a concealer, what do i know?
Next i went for lancome, I wanted to see what the hype about concealer pens was so i asked for the Flash Retouche. i've seen RiceBunny use this on her video and thought it was a good combo. Concealer with brightening effects. 2 in 1 , score! So thats what i got, SA tried it on me and i thought it looked pretty good. I also bought a brow pencil in order to get the free gift, but im returning it tomorrow because its quite expensive, and also for the fact that i dont use a brow pencil - EVER.
Anyways, too much yapping and not enough VISUALS!!
Free stuff for any purchase over $29.50 , Eye Shadow Quartet, Regenerie day cream and night treatment cream, Efficil Make up Remover Trial Size, Virtuose Mascara, Lipstick in Rose Petale.
Lancome Flash Retouche Concealer and Brightening Pen in One.
Back of the pen - Click click click!
Swatch of the product, nice and creamy. Not cakey at all.
These pictures dont do much justice, but i just wanted to post up some of the things i got before i assed out. I'll do a better review on the Lancome Flash Retouche Concealer Pen if need be. NEXT BEAUTY! Oh Deer Lord! These shoes are made from Heaven's elves. Oh Deer! Marilyn Black Pumps. - 65 bucks including shipping at 6pm.com
With Flash
Without Flash
Im not much of a platform heel person, but i just could'nt resist the red bottom soles on these babies, they just scream SEXINESS!! Imagine these with a pair of skinny jeans and a plain white tee with a leather jacket? Damn girl , thats soft porn right there! kekeke j.k j.k - No really. Wish i could do some more pictures but i have to get some rest and fumble on to work tomorrow morning *groan* So i leave you with this - Next Topic: Make up Removers - Expensive means better? Or can the Cheap Drug store folky stand up to the job?

My Intro
Coming to you from NYC, do not be fooled - I am no makeup guru. I do a little here and there, but really nothing compared to some of the ladies i've seen here around the blogosphere. I like to explore different aspects of the beauty related concepts, you know... im like a housewife buying groceries - I get whatever looks good in the market that day, Rachel Ray Style. :)I get bored easily , so these posts will be all sorts of crazy mumbo. It's okay ladies.. Makeup isnt the only tool to beautify yourself. You've got to have the whole package and look into other fields. From clothes, to shoes, to accessories, to hair , to posture, to skin regime ... all that good stuff. So yeah, enough said. Lets ride..
Oh also, please do let me know if you feel that any of the content written here should need a little advice from all you wise bloggers out there. :) Im new, fresh meat... I need all the help I can get.
So to start off a good day, I bring you... Eye Candy.
Clothes!!
Black and Grey Striped Top from Forever21 - ~ 23 bucks
Express Ankle Leggings in Black - ~ 15 bucks ( currently they are having a buy one get the second 1/2 off deal, so two makes for a sweeter deal! )
Dont mind the rubbish on the floor. Im still in the midst of moving! :)
The fabric of this top is pretty soft and stretchy. Its got enough elastic to it to hug your fabulous curves, yet still gives you enough room to breathe and move around. The length of this top is definetly why i got it, you can switch it up so many ways when you've got a little more fabric to work with. Here i paired it with some semi-sheer leggings and some killer shoes from Christian Dior (Hells no i did not pay 300+ for those babies, they were given to me by a relative who got it for less than $50.00 at a designer sample sale for Dior, kick ass! :P )
next.....
Wear it as a dress!
Vamp up that look by wearing it as a skimpy dress. The bottom rims of the top is tight enough to keep your dress from flailing up when the breeze wafts by ( no Marilyn Monroe gimmicks here folks ) Give your body a figure by adding a thick casual belt around your waist and slap on some sensual heels. Since the Top-now-Dress shows off a little leg action, keep the shoes looking modest to avoid looking hookerish. :)I paired this top-now-dress with my Aldo Leather Patent Mary Janes, they give it a nice OL look, yet the StilettoRed backs ( tee hee, my blog name. They arent really red, but i am damn determined to make that compound word into one! ) give it a nice sex appeal. Plus not to mention that heels gracefully give you better posture kids!
So yeah, thats all for this first post of mine. Hope ya'll enjoy my sneak preview ;)
Please let me know if there is anything i should do to make for a better blog post, all bitching is allowed and encouraged. Muhaha!
Nite nite. <3
