That Cheap Eyeshadow

You know that favorite lipgloss, nail polish or even that hair product that you've used for years? The ONE that looked best on you and then suddenly, one day you discover it's gone??? 

Oh my gosh! It's happened to me so many times. I think companies have a vendetta against my buying habits. How could that be? I'm a LOYAL customer!!! 

I've even had a certain perfume discontinued that was my signature fragrance! Then POOF, out of the blue...no longer available!

Well, it happened again! This time it was my favorite eyeshadow. I have bought this palette for years at my local Walgreens. Yes, WALGREENS! My favorite place to browse for hours. (That's another blog)

You can tell which shade is my favorite here. I've gotten every ounce of that third color. I've even broken the lid and lost the applicator. That third color is the one I use right under my eyebrow. It's the perfect color to brighten my eyes. 

Ok, let's be real here.... It actually makes my eyelids look less droopy and that my 40 something friends, is a good thing!

I've tried to replace this color with several other expensive brands but nothing ever worked.

I HAD TO FIND that cheap palette from Walgreens, darn it!

Thank goodness I could still barely read the back label enough to get the brand and the color code.

Finally, I used my noggin and googled it! 
I'll be darned! There it was! A website where I could order as many I as I wished! HA!

And so, I order multiples and guess what? I order an extra for one lucky person! Yep, someone else is going to enjoy a brand spankin' new Prestige Eyeshadow Palette called " FCE-01 Earthling".

To enter yourself, just comment what you too have NOT been able to replace because of it being discontinued. Oh the frustrations!!! I know they are endless!!! :)

The winner will be chosen and announced Thursday evening - 2/20/14.

Aloha Shopping

Aloha!

I love finding different things while away.
In Hawaii, you can find all sorts of different things.
Y'all know I have a habit of collecting kitchen towels. 
I have so many it's ridiculous. So, now I buy for my friends.

I'm passing this Hula girl, flour sack towel on to someone today....a little token reminder of the Hawaiian spirit. Isn't she beautiful? The polynesian women are gorgeous inside and out!

To enter, all you have do is leave a comment at the bottom here. Have you ever been to Hawaii? Have you ever hulaed before? (I have and I can promise you is wasn't pretty) Are you obsessed with cute kitchen towels? I just like to know I'm in good company! :)


Since I'm on Hawaii time (5 hours behind Texas), I'll announce the winner on Sunday, July 28th.

Happy Saturday and Mahalo!

here's what's up, homey!

Hi! I'm Amy and I'm a shop-o-holic! 

Not really, BUT I do love finding cool things. Here's what I've recently found!

Look at this great Texas T-shirt. I stumbled across the site and think I've got to order one. Here's how I see it:

Cute for spring. summer. fall. or winter. 

Put it with white shorts, red shorts, any short. white jeans, dark or light jeans.

Put it with pearls and a denim jacket.

Put it with tennies, flip flops or heels.

The list goes on and on. Such a versatile, homey T.

Here's the link to order your own. http://www.thehomet.com/texas-home-t/

Then there's these adorable hair twists I found at Francesca's. I frequent that store often and they always have cute and trendy things. This bunch of 5 goes for $12. 

Or how about this sunglass case for $10? So cute, huh? . These two items are not listed on their site but I'm sure you could call your local Francesca's and ask for them. Oh, and until July 8, all of their accessories are buy one get one half off. *WINNING* Here's the link for other fun browsing. www.francescas.com

Lastly, the Texas state pendant necklace. I've had mine for years and get many compliments on it. You can buy it in "real" gold at www.jamesavery.com or you can go cheap (like $18 cheap) and get it at www.francescas.com. Either way, you'll love it! 

Until next time...Happy Shopping Homey!
