Model In A Bottle
I am always on a forever quest to find makeup that will stay on your face all day with out fading or coming off at the end of the day. I hate touching up mid day or looking great going out for dinner and dancing only to find out by the end of the night all of my makeup has completely come off. I found the solution to this problem and its called Model in a Bottle. Model in a Bottle is a setting spray that holds your makeup in place all day. NO MORE TOUCH UPS! Model in a bottle is resistant to smudging, tears, humidity and water. Simply apply your makeup as usual. Allow your mascara to fully dry before applying. Close eyes and spray evenly 10-12 inches from face and wait 20-30 secopnds to dry before opening eyes and it works. It's not very cheap a 2 fl oz bottle will cost anywhere from $23.95 to $26.99 at your local beauty supply store however; I found this gem in a clearance bin at my local beauty supply store and bought three bottles at $15.99 each. I love it and am hooked I put my makeup on as normal spray and make no touch ups what so ever it's great! If you have the extra cash its def worth checking out and purchasing. You can also order the product online at http://www.modelinabottle.com/ . That's all to report and happy bargain hunting!
New Eyes Lip Face Products
I had been anxiously awaiting my free products from ELF and they finally arrived on Friday yippy skippy. I was pleasantly surprised I received a 100 color eye palet which I absolutely love and must say that a number of the colors are complete duplicates from the Urban Decay Palets all the colors have a nice matte finish which was a great change from the back to school palets I received from ELF although I liked them I felt that many of the colors were too shiny and had way too much glitter for work or a day look. I looked on line and the palet will run about $15.00 compared to $65.00 that Urban Decay sells theres for I would say thats a huge savings! I also received a couple of eye shadow brushes online they sell for $1.00 and I wasn't expecting any good results boy was I wrong. The brushes are soft and are just the right size to create any number of looks and for the discounted price I am def going to go online and purchase them to start my christmas stalkings stuffers for my nieces. I also received a foundation brush which I love I was hooked on the foundation brush by AVON however this foundation brush, brushes on smooths and so much more evenly then the AVON brush it also has a better texture and feel to it. Lastly I received some of the new nail polishes at first I wasn't too thrilled about the colors but after removing them from the package and doing a couple of swatches I found that the colors are a very nice and vibrant they have lasting power and go on evenly and smoothly making it easy to just do a single coat and done. The nail polishes are a steal for $1.00 each I am def going to go online and purchase some of the other colors another great idea for stalking stuffers. If your looking for some great makeup that has great textures lasting power and overall is great product I would def check out ELF you can find it at Target and purchase many items online at http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ use discount code CAROLINA for a huge discount at your check out! That's all to report and Happy Discount Shopping!

Pick of The Week Pesto 4-Cheese N Bacon Pizza
Other then hunting for bargains another one of my passions is cooking. I have two great taste testers at home that encourage me to cook cook cook. I love finding bargains at the grocery store and since I no longer eat red meat it has sometimes become a challenge to make unique different dishes with fish, turkey and chicken you can only eat so much of it right. Because I am the non red meat eater in the family I don't make them suffer with my decision and on occasion I will cook the family a red meat dish usually once a month. In my quest for more chicken dishes I discovered a really unique inexpensive healthier alternative grocery store. Fresh N Easy they are popping up everywhere in the OC and I noticed on my way to work that there was one in Long Beach so they are fast growing. The friendly supermarket isn't that big but they have a better quality of fresh fruits and veggies then your average grocery store def check out the fresh strawberries, apricots and cherries very sweet and reasonably priced. They also have the 98 cent bagged fruit usually oranges apples but they as well have a sweet taste and are very inexpensive. Milk eggs and cheese are all cheaper then what you would find at the grocery store I love the boneless skin less chicken breasts and there pre-seasoned fajitas are also a very good buy for the price. If you love to BBQ then check out the BBQ value packs that include hamburger, hot dogs and chicken variety packs fish is also reasonably priced and fresh. Water there bottled store brand water taste great and is a great value. Def check out there brand items such as Pizza Dough, Pesto, pre-packaged food like wings and meat loaf I heard was to die for frozan veggies and french fries are of high quality and with a low low price. Items too expensive and a watch out for are of course cleaning very expensive, paper towels dish and laundry soap you are better off going to the grocery store for all those items and boxed food. Breads are more health food orientated they don't taste like Webbers so if you want regular bread buy it at the grocery store. Def check out the pre-packaged deserts yummy! If you are looking for a semi healthy alternative to Pizza then check out this recipe I whipped up that my family of taste testers request at least every other week.
