Sony Cybershot Digital Camera

I found this 16.2 megapixels gem 4 years ago outside & it had even rained, but it still worked. It's still going strong with a few cracks after dropping it several times. I like the 5x optical zoom, which is certainly better than my phone camera. This slim camera is smaller than phones. The menu features endless settings. Another great thing is it takes much better video than a phone. Replacement batteries are only $4.
It started as a camera to stash in my purse which I always carry with me, instead of bringing my much bigger Canon SLR.
But my l'il pink purse camera has turned out to be my go to camera!

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color
I'm a brunette, but love purple, and like that more brands have purple now, without bleaching your hair. I used 416 Medium Intense Violet, and my husband said a couple days later "Is your hair purple?" when I stood under the lights in my kitchen, so... +
I'm a brunette, but love purple, and like that more brands have purple now, without bleaching your hair. I used 416 Medium Intense Violet, and my husband said a couple days later "Is your hair purple?" when I stood under the lights in my kitchen, so that's success to me! :-D I also noticed it outside in the sun. It did a great job too on the grays. I'll be using this colour to keep the purple going. -
L'Oreal Color Riche Matte
Lately my everyday for work colour for when I want nude, but with a bit of brown colour is Erotique #640. (It's funny the name they've given it, bc it's not erotic, but regular.) Sometimes I wear on it's own, sometimes with another top colour, like... +
Lately my everyday for work colour for when I want nude, but with a bit of brown colour is Erotique #640. (It's funny the name they've given it, bc it's not erotic, but regular.) Sometimes I wear on it's own, sometimes with another top colour, like mauve. This formula is for me, matte but not drying, creamy. To top it off, I bought at a warehouse sale for $2. -
Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine
I'm using colour Mauve it Up, and love the glossy shine it gives. I often use it over a matte base coat, but even on it's own, it's light and summery. This gives me just what I want in a light lipstick. I scored it at a warehouse sale for $2, an... +

I never used Tarte products before this, and am impressed by the quality. It goes on well, and I find it, shade Birthday Suit, works as a a good nude base, then I apply a different strong colour. I'd also wear this shade with gloss on top, as it's too "nude" for me. I look best with colours (mauve, reds).
I received Birthday Suit in the free M.A.C. birthday gift.

I like the new colours that Maybelline comes out with in the Color Show line.
I use several ones, like the pictured Blue Bombshell and Frozen Over.
The brush applies it well, and the colour lasts about 5 days without chipping, which is average for my manicures.
I bought all of mine at a warehouse sale for $1, which is my kind of price!!

Hershey's Nuggets Whole Nuts Milk Chocolate

There's nothing like Hershey's milk chocolate, and now, we've got the perfect bite sized nuggets with whole roasted almonds in them. The chocolate is creamy, and with whole almonds, it makes them ideal. My Mr. isn't a chocolate fan, rarely he wants just a piece, but he loves almonds, so I gave him one, and he immediately took another one. :)
Good luck not devouring the entire 180 g bag. ;-)

I enjoy trying new PC products, especially anything chocolate. I had higher hopes for this treat, seeing that it has (corn flake) cereal clusters & coffee, something different. But they are quite hard, too hard for me, and just meh tasting. I prefer clusters that aren't just solid, have some softness like caramel in them. If you need a caffeine boost, they'd be good. 6 pieces, 200 cals. -

This goes on precise, and in just one coat. Not much is needed to get full coverage. I have three colours: Big Spender, Miss Conduct and Some Nerve. My everyday one is Big Spender, Some Nerve is an occasional trendy almost neon pink, and bright red Miss Conduct is more for a night out. Sometimes I put a top glossy coat over it. As the name says, it's always on, not much touch up required.
This is the best long lasting matte lipstick I've ever used.
