Depressing Entry.

A few days ago, this lady came through the drive thru at my work and told us her husband died. We've known them from coming through all the time - he was really funny & sweet and loved to play jokes. But she told us about how he died & when (and it was on Thanksgiving!), etc, etc. She said they were married for 50 years.

I don't really know why, but this broke my heart. I didn't know them well - but what if you lost someone you spent 50 years of your life with? Being with that person every day since then? I mean, what the fuck would you do?

I've never lost anyone that close to me (my grandparents, but I was too young) - and I'm not sure how I'd handle it. I don't think I could function properly without my parents, sister, friends, or the love of my life Joshua! It just saddens me to think about :( Then I was depressed the rest of the day thinking about what would I do if I did lose Josh? Ughhghghhghghgh, too sad -- and depressing -- I don't want to think about it!

I don't know why I decided to blog about this - just did. Maybe because everyone should appreciate everything that everyone in their life does for them, and be thankful that they are there by you everyday. Never take it for granted.

Thanksgiving vintage OOTD

Well, somewhat 'vintage'. This oversized XL sweater is a vintage sweater vest I purchased from Goodwill last week! It was like less than $1. I thought it'd be cute for Thanksgiving since it's a pretty punkin' orange :)

I got the plain creamy color long sleeve undershirt at Wal-Mart for $6.88 - jeggings from Target for $4.98 - Shoes are from H&M but I got them for $1 at a yard sale - & my bracelet is from Target for $4.74!

Yep, my outfit is pretty cheap -- as of most of mine are! My whole closet is basically filled with vintage & modern yard sale or thrift store finds. I don't like to spend money on clothing when I can get great pieces for less.

Then I decided to take pictures of myself because I had nothing better to do :

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving :D

Zeldaaaaa! Skyward Sword is GREAT!

All I've been doing all day since I've got off work is playing Zelda. I can't stop! :( Even though I said I'd do a blog possibly today on vintage outfits of mine -- sorry, I have yet to take any pictures because I've been engrossed in ZELDA!  :D But that blog entry will come one day soon (maybe? :P). 
This game is great. The graphics are really nice as well (like Twilight Princess for Wii!). Currently, I am only 4.17 hours in - and my boyfriend told me today that there are 100 hours! Whattt?! Haha. This game will be endless for me. Especially since I get very frustrated with things easy. I have already gotten frustrated with one part of this game at the beginning! Ha. I got annoyed with the 'Wing Ceremony' thing - I couldn't get the fucking statuette thing - I finally got it on my third try.

Anyway, I'm just blabbing on about a game that you probably don't care about. So, for that - I shall go! 
If you like the previous Zeldas (Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask) - you would most likely like this one as well! So I definitely recommend it! Plus, the game comes with an awesome gold Zelda remote with the Triforce on it :D

My Lame Weekend

I'm completely bored & I need to write a new blog but I don't know exactly what to blog about? So I'll blog about my weekend! Saturday I went shopping - & I went to the Goodwill Clearance Center & the mall. I'm really bad about getting tons of things not for myself at Goodwill. So this time when I went, I decided to get everything for myself. I ended up getting a ton of different vintage pieces to add to my closet - and I only spent $15! Tons of cute granny sweaters & cardigans - my favs! :D At the mall, I ran to Sephora & Mac. I got a Benefit sampler thingy from Sephora & a lipstick and matching lip liner from Mac.
All my mall goodies :)
I picked out the color 'Chatterbox' for my lipstick & the Mac lady picked out 'Soar' lip liner to match it - since I'm horrible at lip liners & such. I just now started getting into testing out and messing around with lip liners - so I don't really know much about what color goes with what, etc, etc. 

Today, my boyfriend brought me a surprise ! 
ZELDAAAAA! I totally forgot that the new Zelda came out today! And he surprised me with it! :D :D Big smilez! I would be playing it right now instead of blogging about my lame weekend, but - it's late - and I've been working a lot more than I normally am - and I'm soooo tired :( I'd get to into it & would never want to quit! But tomorrow is my day off & I'll just play it all day :)
 
I want to take photos of all my Goodwill stuff I got this weekend & take pictures of me 'modeling' them & how I wear and mix vintage clothing with modern clothing. So maybe that will be my next blog entry? Something at least a bit more interesting than this one!Who knows.

Goodnight lovies!

REVIEW: Elf Body Shimmer Sticks

I've had 2 of these for about 3 weeks, and the other 2 I just got in the mail today. I didn't want to purchase all of them at once because that would have sucked if I didn't like them & wasted money. But, I do love these! So I ended up purchasing them all :)

I use these as highlighters. I just got the Blazing Bronze one (last one pictured) in the mail today - and it's a bit too dark for me, so I will use that one as a contouring shade maybe. I really like the other 3 though. My personal favorite is the Golden Glow one (3rd one pictured). It has actual pieces of glitter every here & there - and I think it looks really nice. The others are mostly just shimmer - no glitter chunks yet!


These are nicely pigmented & go on good! You can just rub these on your face and then blend them with your fingers -- but I dip my finger in the product then glide it across my face so I don't get too much. You kind of wanna have a light hand when using these - or I do at least since I'm kinda pale. 

These are really great & I use the Golden Glow one just about every day! I just got the Cosmic Coral one in the mail today - so I will probably end up using that one just as much!

Galaxy Nails!

I got bored yesterday & was searching for nail tutorials to do because I suck at nails & need a little guidance. I found this video telling you step by step how to do it:
I had most of the colors already to do this -- except the dark blue & white. So I replaced dark blue with a dark plum & a white with a glossy light grey.




I'm not quite sure if mine look like a galaxy or not? I have super short nails from constantly biting them.

I used:
China Glaze - Haunting (sparkly black) & the yellow one I don't know the name of it :(
OPI - Skull & Gloss Bones? (I think, it's part of the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection)
Wet N Wild - Night Prowl (Plum), Blazin' (Coral), Kaleidoscope (Glitter)

I just noticed the background in my nail polish picture matches all the nail polishes! It's my 'The Stand' by Stephen King graphic novel :)

Favorite Fall Lipsticks




My favorite fall lipsticks:
Lime Crime Coquette - $16
Revlon Super Lustrous - Primrose - $5-6
Covergirl - Sultry - $6
Nyx - Doll - $4-5
Nyx - Hebe - $4-5
Covergirl Queen Collection - Royal Plum - $6

Only one of these (Lime Crime) is a high end brand. But I love these!
The one that I wear the least is the Nyx Hebe just because it's red - and I don't really wear red. However, when I do - I wear this one! It's more of a wearable red more-so than a very bright and crazy looking red. I think it's wearable because it has like little shimmers of gold mixed with it so it tones down the crazy color a bit.

Also, if you like the color of the Lime Crime one - but don't want to spend $16 - I found a dupe of it & reviewed it here:
 
I just got the Primrose & the Royal Plum ones over the weekend. I normally don't really wear dark colored lipsticks - but I loooove this Royal Plum one. I'm also not sure why it's called Royal Plum? It's more like a dark crimson color with blue undertones to me. But I like it. I got a lip liner to wear with this one & it's Rimmel London's Exaggerate Lip Liner in Epic. These two go good together.
The Primrose lipstick is more of a sheer darker baby pink - if that makes sense? Haha. It's not like a really bright baby pink like colors you'd wear in the summertime.
 
The Doll lipstick is a really nice dark pink shade. It has blue undertones & looks nice :D

And for messy lipstick appliers like myself, I recommend using this Elf Lip Lock Pencil. It's clear - and you put it on the outside edges of your lips so when you do put your lipstick on & press your lips together - the color doesn't get all over the outsides of your lips! Plus, it's only $3 -- and they always have sales going on at eyeslipsface.com -- so you may could get it for $1.50 like I did mine :)

I really want to try out some high end lipsticks, but don't want to spend the money on them :( I don't mind spending my money on them if I really like them & would wear them mostly every day but I'm afraid I won't like them after I purchase them & that's like $15 wasted. Blahhh. So if you have any recommendations please let me know! :D

Instagramin' Erryythang! Blahblahblah

As most of you may know, I Instagram just about every single picture here on my blog -- as well as my Tumblr. I've been obsessed with using my iPhone, I don't even use my Canon Rebel anymore! :P Haha. Basically I just wanted to write a blog entry & I had nothing else to discuss about - so I figured I'd share a few pictures I took today :)




I took a bunch of what I like to call ' I love me pictures ' today with my lovellyyyyy pink wig :) Some guy messaged me today on Facebook & told me he was a photographer & would love to shoot me sometime (he lives in the same area) - & I had my pink wig on in my default picture - so it made me feel good about myself & I decided to take more pink hair pictures! Bahaha. I didn't respond though. I've considered modeling before, but I am just awkward & would feel weird. I feel like I would try and be sexy in my pictures & then I'd laugh at myself because I'm not sexy at all - and it would just be a disaster. So no modeling for me anytime soon! 

I also had to work today, so I went in a little early to eat. And of course, I had to use Instagram on my food because I am a loser & such.
OM NOM NOM! Gyro meat is delicious. If you've never tried it, you should. It's like a mixture of beef & lamb if i'm not mistaken? I've also been eating salads lately? Very odd for me. I hate salads. But lately, I've been craving it. Pregnant?! Lol, just kidding. I just eat a ton of junk food & when I eat healthy things it makes me feel better - so lately i've just been craving healthy things such as salad - and normally I eat fries with my gyro meat, but I've been replacing them with either potato salad or slaw. Yay for healthy eating Lauren! :D

Then, once I got home from work, my mother's friend was over & had some Pomegranates :) I love pomegranate flavored things (as well as scented things!) - so I had some to eat. And of course, a chance to Instagram something!
So this is what I do in my free time, and even when i'm busy. Any chance I get when I see something cool, I Instagram it - because I am lame.

I miss my wonderful boyfriend! I wish he'd stop working oh so much during this time of year! Then maybe I'd be able to Instagram cute pictures of him too :( It just sucks because we're both starting to work a lot as of right now & when I'm off - he's not - etc, etc. Oh well! We're hopefully getting a house soon so we can cuddle every night again :) Makes me a happy lady.


But that's all for today. Nothing interesting. Just sharing my love of Photography/Instagram :D

P.S. Oh yeahhh, and I totally added ' The Great Fairy Fountain ' remix to my music playlist on my sidebar for this blog. So enjoy jamming to some sweet Zelda tunes while reading my boring blog :)

Wet N Wild Sparkle City Limited Edition Glitter Palette

I went driving today with my sister & decided to stop by CVS. I ended up getting a Wet N Wild Coverall concealer stick for $1.99 & one of the limited edition Sparkle City Glitter Palettes for $4.99!
I got the 'Main Street Glitz' palette. It also comes with a 'glitter' eyeliner (it's not really glittery). I haven't tested these out yet -- but I did swatches of them & I love the way they look.

 Yayy! Some of the colors like the ones on the left of the palette are just basically glitter that you would wear over your eyeshadow to make it pop. They remind me of NYX Glitter Cream Palettes - which I also have & love. The colors on the right side of the palette are more like glitter cream shadows you can wear by themselves & it would look nice.
& an up close picture of the palette. I personally love this palette! I am going back to get all of them once I get paid :)

DIY: Easy & Cheap False Glitter Nails

Since May/June 2011, I have been obsessed with wearing false nails! Not all the time, because I can't really do anything with them on :P -- But every so often. I get all the supplies to do it myself - I don't really mind if they only last up to 3 days haha. I'm just cheap & prefer not to spend $30 to get fake nails.

Here's what I use:
  •  I get the FULL (NOT tips!) false nails off of EBay - they have a variety of different colors - but I have baby blue ones (not pictured) & white. I like the white so I can paint them whatever color I'd like. I got 500 false full nails for only $4-5 with free shipping!
  • You'll need the false nail clippers as well! I'm not sure exactly what they're called - but I got these off EBay as well - they cost me around $3-4 with free shipping. They have these at Sally Beauty Supply as well - but I don't know how much they are there.
  • Next, I use nail glue (duh). I just got the nailene kind from Wal-Mart. This glue holds on pretty well - but I think I'll get a stronger one from Sally's once I run out.

You'll also need a nail file to smooth down the edges of the nails to make them even. I personally don't use one because I have issues with nail files. I hate the way they feel, and the sound that they make while in use. Bahah, so I cannot use them :P

  • Next you can paint them whatever color you'd like -- I used this mini OPI lavender polish. It's from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection & it's called ' Planks a lot '.
  • Next for the glitter - I used the Wet n Wild Wild Shine nail color in Kaleidoscope. This is a really really nice glitter nail polish & it's only $.93!!



& that's all! So total it cost probably under $1 to do my own nails. Woot! Not too bad.

Yard Sale, Dollar Store, & Beauty Store Haul

Lotta hauls in one! But I had a busy day today :) I went to about 7 yard sales & got a ton of stuff!
 I got old cd's to listen to in my car (it doesn't have a port for my iPod cable nor does it play burnt cds) for $1 each. Romeo & Juliet soundtrack just happened to be one I picked up. It's one of my favorite movies :)
 I found this awesome vintage ghost book! I mainly got it for Josh because he loves ghost hunting & such. But it talks about 'the other side' and different crazy things like that. $1!
 I loooooove these super mod yellow, orange, and brown dishes! I got both of the candle holders for $.50 & the big tray was $.75! I got the candles & pebbles from the Dollar Tree -- I'm going to put prettier pebbles that are brown and crystal when I get extra money. And for now - until I get something to put into my tray I'm using it as a candy storage.
 I got 2 cute saucers & matching tea  cups! They're a baby pink color. I got all of these for $3. I plan on writing on them like you see on a lot of Tumblr pictures that say 'Bitch' or 'Slut' in a pretty cursive writing -- they also sell them on Etsy. But I think I'm going to write either 'Babycakes' or 'Sweetheart' on one & draw a mustache on the other :)
 I got the dish on the left at a yard sale for $.50! It's prettier in person - it's actually a clear and black tint but on the outside has a sheer silver finish. I got the other jar & pebbles at Dollar Tree to use to store my makeup brushes. I can be pretty crafty huh?! :)
 I got these awesome bird cut outs for $.25! They were brand new in the packaging. I plan on getting those wooden oval & square wall hangings you use for crafts at Michaels & painting them & gluing these bad boys on there. Most of you probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about -- but I can see things clearly in my head & it will look very cute & mod :) I'm really into mod style stuff here lately.
Aren't these cutest Salt & Pepper shakers?! Ahh, I love them! I will most likely re-sell them in my shop though. But I thought these were adorable & I couldn't pass them up.
 Mickey Mouse Earrings! Woowoo! Still brand new & they're clip ons. I got these to re-sell in mah shop ;)
& lastly for yard sales -- I got these Steve Madden booties for myself :) I got these for only $2! They're a little worn, but I don't mind.

Next up - I went to Sally Beauty Supply just because it was right near the Dollar Tree.
 I got some China Glaze nail polishes on sale. I've never used this brand, but I know it's quite expensive. I've known about it - but my friend at work last night had some on her nails & it looked nice - so I got me a few that were on sale. I got these for $1.99 each! The pale yellow one doesn't have the sticker on it -- so I'm unsure of the name. The black sparkly one is called 'Haunting' and the brown is called 'In Awe of Amber' or something around those lines :P Haha, I don't have them right beside me so I'm not completely sure.
I have also been wanting to get some of these plastic clips for when I curl my hair. I got a pack of 6 of these for $2.99.

Lastlyyyyyy ---
 I got my 88 warm palette in the mail!
Yay! This is the same exact palette that Coastal Scents & Bh Cosmetics has. I just got the Ebay one because it was wayyyy cheaper. I'm about 99% sure all the other companies do is purchase them in bulk & slap their label on them. But I don't think they claim to make them - so they can do whatever they'd like. I'd just rather get them for a cheaper price :) This one on Coastal Scents is $24.95 + shipping. I got mine for $10.76 with FREE shipping! Yayyyyy. I also got the original 88 palette & 'eclipse' concealer palette -- but those are from a different seller & he's from Hong Kong - so it'll be about another week or two till I get those.

I'm making this blog wayy longer than it's suppose to be. Sorry! Hope you enjoyed loves!

October 2011 Favorites

Finally! I remembered to do a favorites blog entry. And boy, do I have a ton of stuff! It was really hard to pick through my items, and I kind of have a lot :/ Oh well, the more the better :)

Firstly, I start out with my favorite hair & face products:
 Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo - $5.47
Loreal Hydrafresh Toner - $5.97
CHI Silk Infusion (1 oz) - $8.99

Pssssst! Dry Shampoo -
For a nice poof! This is my first dry shampoo that I have tried. I really don't know why this one stuck out to me the most when I went to purchase a dry shampoo - but it did. I tried this after not washing my hair for 2 days, and it helped, but it didn't work like I thought it would. Like, I thought my hair would look freshly washed or something lol. It helped it not look as greasy -- but I don't know if I'd be comfortable wearing my greasy hair down with this product :P haha. However, this product does give you some volume! It makes my roots feel like they can breathe as well - so after I wash & style my hair, I go back & apply this where I'd like some volume in my hair, and it works really good! It's better than using hairspray or teasing for volume - so this is what I've been using.

Loreal Hydrafresh Toner -
I've been using this product for about a week. I don't wash my face, or use cleaner for it - just my makeup remover wipes (I know, i'm pretty gross). I feel like my face breaks out when I actually wash my face with cleaner -- and it actually looks way better and I don't have bad skin when I don't wash it - so whatev! But anyway, I got this to try this out since I don't wash my face, and I really like the way this feels on my face. It's also helped my face feel smoother. Normally I have little small bumps (there not quite blackheads, I'm not sure what they are :P - they're not big?) - but after using this - it helps tone them down a bit & my face looks clearer. I'm not sure why this does this? lol But it does! 

CHI Silk Infusion -
I got this product with my CHI straightener back in May, and I love it! I put just a small squirt in my palm & rub it mainly at the ends of my hair & bangs before styling & it makes it feel supa' smoooooth!

Favorite Face Products:

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Gold Deposit - $28
Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Blush in Carved Rose - $25
Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer in Sand - $42
Elf Healthy Glow Bronzer in Luminance - $1
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer in 2 - $19
Hard Candy Glow all the Way in Doll Face - $8

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish -
I love this product! If you haven't already, you can read my review on this product & how I use it here:

Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek -
This is the old packaging for this product. Like a week after I purchased this on Sephora, she changed the look of all her products :( I like this one better though anyway :P I love this blush! It's a nice flushed babydoll pink. I haven't really tried any other blushes - high end or drugstore - so I'm not too sure if it's $25 worth -- but I do like this blush.

Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer -

I do not wear foundation nor powder, and I wanted to start wearing something - but light with sheer coverage - so I decided since winter is coming up - I'd get a moisturizer. I heard a lot of good things about this tinted moisturizer - so I purchased it. I love this product! It gives you a nice sheer coverage - and it doesn't make my face feel greasy or like I'm even wearing anything at all. Like the blush - I haven't tried any other tinted moisturizers - high end or drugstore -- so I can't really compare it to anything else or to say if it's really worth $42 freaking dollars. Geez! Well, last week I did purchase the Elf Tinted Moisturizer (the $1 & the $3 one) - but they make me feel greasy. I suppose because they aren't oil free like this one. I'm still shopping around to find another that I like for an affordable price.
* Also, when I go out & wanna look good for my man (hehe) - I have just recently started mixing my tinted moisturize with the Revlon Photo Ready foundation - just a pinch of each to give me a bit more coverage.

Elf Healthy Glow Bronzer in Luminance -
I'm not too sure why they call this bronzer - because this is WHITE! It's very shimmery & has lots of little glitters - which I looooove. I use this in many ways - to set my tinted moisturizer, as a highlight, or as an eyeshadow. This is only $1 - & it's a great product for the price. It gives you just the right amount of shimmer. Here lately, since it's fall - I like to wear it as a finishing powder to give me the light natural glow & it looks really nice. 
I'll be getting the other colors to try out as well with my next Elf order.

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer -
I've tried all kinds of drugstore & high end concealers. I have really dark circles under my eyes that are hard to hide. And this, so far, is the best concealer I've found. It works nicely. It covers up my dark circles for the most part. I'm wanting to try Benefit's Erase Paste to see which is better - so I'll probably be ordering that soon :)

Hard Candy Glow All The Way -
 This is an AMAZING product! I use this as my highlighter - obivously. It is very shimmery & glittery --ahhh, I love it! & this HUGE tube is only $8! This should last you forever, seriously. A little bit of this product goes a long way. My next trip to Wal-Mart I'll be picking up the gold tinted one of this :)

Favorite Eye Products:
Elf Eyebrow Kit in Light - $3
Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study - $17
Elf Cream Eyeliner in Black - $3
Tarina Tarantino Fleur De Lash Mascara in Black Opal - $19
My Thirtyonewest Odd Liquorice & Anchor's End Eyeshadows - $6.99 each
Mac Eyeshadows in Omega & Vanilla - $15 each
Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden - $19

Mac Omega & Vanilla Eyeshadows -
These are the first Mac eyeshadows I purchased. I saw Gwen Stefani wearing a cream color eyeshadow with a light brown one over that in the crease -- and I wanted to create that look - so I did! I like the colors of these eyeshadows. I do like these a lot - but I'm not sure if they are worth $15 each? I feel like to get the color I want I have to apply a couple of coats of the Vanilla. But the Omega one works well. I don't know, it may just be the colors I got because they are light anyway. I'll get some darker ones next time to see if they really are worth $15 lol.

Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study -
This & the Treasure Hunt Paint Pot was my first Mac purchase! I got them back in September & I looove them. I just have the Bare Study one as my favorite because it's more of a nude-pinkish pearly color that I can wear with everything & the Treasure Hunt one is a light golden yellow. I also use this as an eye primer as well - and it works good! You can also use this as a highlight as well - ahhhh! So many uses for these handy dandy Paint Pots. I love them!

Tarina Tarantino Fleur De Lash Mascara -
Oh my God. This.Is.The.Best.Mascara.EVER! Baha, I'm gay, I know. But this seriously is the best mascara ever! This is the old packaging like the blush as well - it looks a bit different now - but same great product! I get compliments on my eyes all the freaking time when I wear this (which is everyday). It makes my eyelashes look extremely long & makes them appear fuller. I got mine brand new off of EBay because it was cheaper than Sephora -- but now that i've tried it --  I would totally pay $19 for it. I've had some people ask me if i'm wearing false lashes as well. Well worth $19. I love Tarina Tarantino products - they work really well. Her jewelry is amazing too!

Thirtyonewest Anchor's End & Odd Liquorice Eyeshadows -
I know I made these, but I really love these. I've been wearing these & mixing them a lot this month. Here's what they look like -
These are really pigmented & look good for smokey eye looks! You can get these from my new website:


Elf Eyebrow Kit -
Now, I've tried pencils & shadows for eyebrows -- but so far -- I like using the little waxy-gel stuff in this eyebrow kit. For me, it works the best. I have some bushy-ass eyebrows anyway - so this helps tame them down so they're not everywhere & adds a tint to it so it fills them in. I don't use the shadow that is with this kit though - just the gel.
I found out that Laura Mercier makes eyebrow gel as well for $20 -- so I am going to purchase it sometime soon & test it out! 

Elf Cream Eyeliner -
This is the only gel liner that I've ever used. I like it a lot. It goes on nice & black - not faded black. And it has a ton of product in this little bitty jar for only $3. 

Favorite Lip Products:

Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched & Peach Kiss - $2.97
Covergirl Lipstick in Sultry (200) - $6
Nyx Lipstick in Narcissus - $3-4?

Maybelline Baby Lips -
I already did a review on these Baby Lips! To read go to:

Covergirl Sultry Lipstick -
I wanted to try a darker brown since it's fall. I'm kinda scared to wear darker lipsticks  -- not sure why, I just don't really wear lipsticks that make me look adult like :P haha. But I decided to cave in & purchase this one. It's not as dark as it appears in the packaging. I really really like the way this looks - it's not too light & it's not too dark - it's like the perfect brown color for me.

Nyx Narcissus Lipstick -
I love pink lipsticks. All kinds. Mostly lighter colors though. I have quite a few Nyx lipsticks - but here lately I've been wearing this one. It's the perfect Barbie Doll Pink Lipstick. If you're looking for a bright pigmented pink - this is for you! These lipsticks are very moisturizing as well. I like all the ones I have. I'm not sure how much they cost in stores - I get mine off of EBay in lots of 3 for like $7.



Sorry this blog entry was super long, I just felt like describing each individual product & telling about why it was a favorite. This ended up taking me about an hour and a half to type :P haha. I hoped you all liked this!
Let me know what your favorites are so I can go & test them out! :)
