iPod Rotation: B.o.B.- Nothing On You

If you haven't explored mark. products yet, now is the time to do so! They have this pretty awesome hookup system where you can interchange a variety of different mark. hookup items; from lipgloss to mascara to concealer to brushes.. you get my drift. So many things to choose from..

Here's how it works:

• Get a hookup connector (pictured below). Each connector has 1 opening on each side of it, fitting 2 hookup items.

• Choose any mark hookup products (each comes with a top cover).

• Just simply click them into one of the openings. It's as simple as that!
• Best part is that you can interchange them at any time and as often as you'd like.

Example of interchangeable hookups

• Size with 2 hookups attached is perfect for carrying in your purse when you are on the go. Carry your lipgloss & fave mark. fragrance during the day and swap out for a lipstick and liquid eyeliner for the night out touch ups! (Connector + hookup measures about 5"-5 1/4" long)

• The hardest part is choosing what to get and in what colors! Or you can just get them all! Hehe

mark. offers affordable pricing for good-quality makeup. Hookups retail for $6-$8. And the connector is a mere $.50. But for some time now, they have been offering a free hook up connector when you buy 2 hookup items!

When I need to stock up on items I go through my favorite mark. rep, Kristy! She is very knowledgeable about mark. products and is prompt with placing orders and getting them to me asap through secure and reliable transactions!

NOTD: Plumy-Pink Hanky

I try being creative when naming my manicure creations and this mani reminds me of a purple handkerchief.. hence the name.. LOL

Base Color: E.L.F.- Plum
Konad Plate: m64
Konad Color: Sally Hansen Chrome- Pink Pearl Chrome
Top Coat: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength- Flawless

I have a bunch of E.L.F. polishes that I bought on a whim because they are only $1 each and there was a 50% off sale on the website. For the price they are pretty good. The color goes on great and comes out shiny. The only downside is that it begins to chip within 2-3 days. But ever since I've been using the SH Diamond Strength as a top coat these polishes last for a long time (1-1.5 weeks).

The SH Chrome Nail Makeups are incredible for konading. If you can get your hands on any of these polishes, do so quickly!! SH discontinued the collection a while ago and finding them is a bit difficult but you can still find some of them on Ebay..

Oh Yes I Did! Zigi Soho Kelis + Photos

So if you saw my first blog post you saw that I got the Zigi Soho Kelis pumps in black for a mere $1.04. Wellllllllll.. I got them in tan also.. =x

When I bought the black ones I was debating on which color I would get and I was dying for the tan ones but decided to be more practical and go with a color that won't get destroyed as easily, hence the black ones. But, I did tell my as equally shopaholic cousin that if one day I have the opportunity to get the tan ones for the same price then I would get them. On a day that she needed to make a return at DSW I decided to browse the store with no intention of buying anything although I did have a DSW coupon and a bunch of gift cards I received from Frenzies..

They were no longer up on display, they must have been sold out quickly and why wouldn't they?! They're gorgeous! As I looked through the small section of 6-6.5 sizes on clearance I had one of those (Ahhhhhhh bright-shining light) moments.. What was there, you ask? The Zigi Soho Kelis in tan AND IN MY SIZE! You had to see how quick I grabbed them before anyone else did.. LOL As I looked for my cousin I thought "Man, she's gonna be pissed at my luck.." Oh, yes she was.. hehe And here I present you my new babies...

In order to use the coupon I had with me I had to add a few bucks to my purchase, so I got a water proofer for my suede pumps and sure steps for heels that have slippery bottoms.

Zigi Soho Kelis - Water Proofer Spray - Sure Steps

Zigi Shoes original ($59.95) ~ 30% off sale ($17.99) - $20 off $49 coupon ($16.50) = $25.46

Water Proofer Spray ($4.95) - $20 off $49 coupon ($1.95) = $3.00

Sure Steps ($3.95) - $20 off $49 coupon ($1.55) = $2.40

Total w/tax = $32.45 - $30 worth of gift cards = $2.45

Saved = $77.04

I can't stress enough, how much I heart DSW..

Do you own any Zigi Soho's?

CVS Haul-> New Loves

A few weeks back I went to CVS for a small haul and since then I've found some new true loves.. I decided to pick up Clean & Clear's Body washes in "Pomegranate & Orange Zest" and in "Wildberry & Guava." I don't usually use body washes when showering and just rely on body soap but since they were free, I was definitely trying them! 

C&C Body Wash original ($6.29) ~ on sale ($2.99) - $1 mfr coupon - $1 ECB = FREE

C&C Body Wash original ($6.29) ~ on sale ($2.99) - $1 mfr coupon - $1 ECB = FREE

Let's just say that after using the C&C Pomegranate & Orange Zest Body wash for a week, I'm hooked!! They both smell A-MA-ZING, better than anything I've smelled before (as far as products go). After showering with this, I feel so refreshed! I guess that's why it's called morning burst body wash. Hehe..

I also picked up a twin pack of Renu Mulit-purpose Solution, a twin pack of toothpicks, and a Renuzit Renew Pearls for my room. I've been using Renu since I first began wearing prescription contacts 13 years ago. Final cost for the entire pack was $.99 and that's a huge deal if you are a longer time contact wearer. I picked up the toothpicks because we needed some in the house and they were cheap. I have never tried the Renuzit Pearls before but I'm liking them so far because they leave my room smelling fresh. The next scent I want to pick up is "After the Rain." In my opinion it smells better than "Fresh Lavender."

Renu original ($16.79) ~ on sale ($12.99) - $5 mfr coupon - $4 ECB - $3 ECB= $.99

Twin Pack Toothpicks original ($1) ~ 50% off sale = $.49

Renuzit Renew Pearls original ($4.39) ~ on sale ($2.50) - $1 mfr coupon = $1.50

Total w/ tax= $3.47  Saved= $31.78
