Happy Thanksgiving!
Hello everyone! I am BACK! Just in time for black friday!!!! Here is your ultimate guide for black friday...
Apps: TGI Black friday: Make lists of items and search stores for deals!
Tip! Look for stores with like Cash programs (Kohls cash, {old navy} super CASH, etc.) to get cash back and for later use
****Some stores open at midnight! (Macy's, Kohls, Bon Ton, etc.)
******Wal-Mart opens at 10! (like anyone would go there :P)
Tip! Look in the clearance. You can probably find cute stuff for a SUPAH, supah good price!!!!
Tip! Avoid long lines in checkout. Grab a bunch of cute cheap stuff (you like, and that fit, duh) until
lines get shorter then dash for the cashier!
****Lots of stuff combined make a good price (2 for 1, buy 1 get one free, etc.). Find those!
{Have a crew with you split and scan the store. If they find something you or your friend might like, they can take a picture and send it to you on their cell phone. Meet at a central spot to reconvene.}
Tech: Smartphone? Check the stores online site on your smartphone to see exactly which department your [item] will be located.
****Take a picture of some ads on your cell phone and bring to the store. That way, you don't have to have a list!
Tip! After paid, move into the bathroom or other secluded area and transfer some items to another shopping bag {i.e., if you have 5 bags full of (4) shirts each, put 2 shirts in bag 3, 3 in bag 4, and 3 in bag 5.} Less baggage, more arm room.
{If someone spots the same item as you, make your gym-class worthy mad dash to the item!}

Sorry for the inconvinience, we do not have any olive green eyeliner models.
Here is Emily Deschanel modeling a charcoal-ish colored eyeliner. You like as much as 56 does? You bet!!!
And Kristin Stewart here is modeling a silver smokey eye. And here we go into smokey for fall.
Smokey eyes this fall are a must for going out. How to pull off 3 levels of smokey.
Level 1: Naturally Dramatic.
1. Start with a primer or whatever you use on your lids.
2. Contour the eyes with a brown liner.
3. Use a peachy pink-ish color on the inside corner of eye and browbone. Dust lightly.
4. Next, use a soft (but dark) pink on the crease and along lash line.
5. Now take a dark brown (matte) shadow and use on outer corner of eye and meet up with medium shade in the crease.
6. Place another coat of brown eyeliner along lash line.
Level 2: Drama Queen Sidekick.
1. use step 1 from level 1.
2. Use a dark gray or charcoal along lash line.
3. Then, use a white or cream shadow on inside corner, brow bone, and underneath eye.
4. Next, use a turquoise-ish shade from the lash line to just below the browbone. For a more dramatic appear, wing outwards.
5. Then, take a navy blue and accent the contour (medium) shade by winging it outwards also, from lash line to brow bone.
6. Lastly, put another layer of eyeliner along lash line.

10 weekend beauty ideas!!!
County Fair this weekend??? 10 weekend beauty tips that are perfect for this type of occasion.
1. Going at night time??? Play up the eye factor a bit and go with a darker liner and a bit of darker eye shadow to rejuvenate for the night.
2. While it may be warm out, it may get chilly as it gets later into the afternoon. Always have a cardi or hoodie with you (or keep it in a tote)
3. Smart hair is key. French braids, ponytails, and side braids keep hair out of the way while staying cool.
4. Don't opt for heels at the fair. You would be better off with some sneakers or flip flops.
5. Keep a water bottle with you (in a tote or something) at all times so you can stay hydrated in the sun.
6. Even if it is cloudy, sunscreen is required if you don't want to get skin cancer
7. Just like the annoying Target commercial says, "Denim, Converse one star shoes, Denim" Jeans, Denim jackets, denim shorts, are great for the fair. Converse, too.
8. Bright pink fingernails and a more subtle pink pedi is perfect for a local outing.
9. Can someone say boardwalk fries? I say messy. bring some mini Tide sticks in your purse so your not stuck with a ketchup stain all night.
10. Bad breath can lead to no one talking to you. Colgate Wisp mini brushes can solve that. Keep some in your purse and you'll be fine.
