GaptoothDiva - Dollar Store Makeup Haul for Beginners

I decided to help a few of my friends out, who aren't really into makeup only because of the price and cost associated with most products. Everyone doesn't have a budget for cosmetics, so they choose to opt out of participating in wearing them. I totally understand. So in an effort to cater to my Recessionistas and Budget-Friendly Divas, I put together a video of some cool makeup finds that I snagged from my local Dollar Tree in RVA.

The Motivation: No one should be trying to decipher your beauty regimen, unless you want to explain that. Use whatever products fit your budget and your style intent. :-)

Nicka K. Lipstick Review

For the spring season, I decided to step my lipstick/lip gloss game up and try my hand at different colors and shades. I've always been the typical pink, clear, and skin tone chick when it came to my lips. I guess I was cautious about playing with different colors. I'm more into eyeshadow, anyway. However, last fall & during the winter I tried the bold red lip trend and I absolutely loved it. So, on my quest to being frugal and fabulous, I purchased five lipsticks by Nicka K for $0.99 each at Regina's Beauty Supply in Richmond, Virginia. It was a steal! Here is the review of my latest purchase of what I experienced. Of course I should have took pictures of the shades on my lips, but once I forgot three out of five, I just called it a day.

These are the shades from left to right

• Vibrant Orange - Probably the safest out of all of them and my 2nd favorite new shade to try. I loved it. I got a couple of compliments on it and a few references to a M.A.C lip shade of the same hue. No, ladies, this was less than a buck. *snap*

• Moody Blue - My dumb a** thought this shade was actually blue. Could you believe how excited I was to find blue lipstick for $0.99?? To my surprise, it's actually a mood lipstick that changes colors depending on your mood (or the temperature of your lips). Needless to say I'm always in a dark purple-like mood. A bummer, but not a complete loss. I bought a blue lip-liner and smudged it in.... instant blue. Yeah, I'm bad.

• Bubble Gum - I'm used to this shade and it's nothing new. I should have known better but I actually was expecting more pink than an icy tone. Blah... boring.

• Brilliant Fuchsia - I love it, but I was expecting a brighter shade of actual fuchsia. It comes on very burgundy, which for my taste is too damn serious of a lip color for my face.

• Honey Buff - This by far is my favorite of all of them. I love the creamy nude look on my chocolate face. It really pops with a smoky eye application, which I really like.

I can't wait to share more of my finds with you. Remember it doesn't always have to cost a lot or be the latest and greatest for you to at least try it out. This is great way to try something new, without wasting a whole lot of money. If anyone says anything negative about it, tell 'em "F" you style!

 

Great $1.00 Thrift Store Dress For My Pregnant Belly

This was a great Thrifting find. I purchased this dress from the Love of Jesus Thirty Store in South Richmond for only $1.00! It's long enough so I can wear tall boots. It's not too big, but comfy enough for my growing belly. I wore it out and it gained me so many compliments and some inappropriate stares by some men, who I thought weren't quite sure if they wanted to holla or not. LMAO. So pathetic... uggh pregnancy.

I really like this great dress. I paired it with a scarf and a beaded necklace I scored at a vintage shop in Carytown (which at the moment I can't remember, so forgive me). I also wore my favorite boots of the season. It was a great day. Great to finally be back. :-)

I decided I'm committing to my natural hair, so this was the final day of the weave. See how depressed I look with it on. It just feels heavy and unnecessary. So away it goes. Might burn it and post the pics online. Who knows.

Thrifted, Gifted, and Borrowed

So I'm getting my Diva back, especially with the new hair and larger boobs, lol. I'm still not displayng my stomach proudly, like I should be. It's taking some getting used to. Someone told me to pose like this to hide it. I think it just makes me look like I have a bad back. You probably can't tell by this picture, but I actually lost 15 lbs. But I think it all went to my chest. This top and cardigan was thrifted from The Second Debut Goodwill store in Carytown Richmond. I got both of them for $5 each. Their sales are amazing.  

This is a ring that Boonie bought for me. Now don't trip, it was only $1.99 (really), but what it symbolizes is that nocturnal spirit of the owl, watching over the night. It was deep when he gave it to me, so don't laugh. I love it a lot and can you believe it hasn't turned on me yet!

My doctor would kick my ass if she knew I was still wearing heels while I'm pregnant. Under strict orders she asked me to stick to flats, but that lady doesn't know me like that. So every once in a while, I will sneak and wear my heels. I'm bad, I know. Boonie bought me these as well last year, said he wanted to see me in some tall boots. The man got what he wanted!

I love taking his stuff and making it look good on me! I don't own a watch, that will be changing soon. I always wanted one, but it never seemed practical. I never look at the watch and secretly... I can't tell time on analog watches, LOL. I can only read it if the time is like 12:00, 12:30, 5:00, 5:30, etc. Anyway, so what! I live in the year 2012 and everything is digital. I have a cell phone, and that's my excuse. Damn, ya'll are so mean!

Between being nauseous, tired, cranky, hungry, and horny.... I can't think straight. However, the gaol is to inspire you that through all that, You still can feel good inside and out... or at least look good while you feel like crap on the inside. Watch me as I grow and complain dolls. It's about to be a bumpy ride. xoxo

My Thanksgiving Animal Style & Unknown Gift

So on Thanksgiving, I decided to go along with the animal print trend and thrift a cheetah print dress from Goodwill Second Debut in carytown. I got the dress for $7, and it wasn't even on sale. I also bought this fabulous belt That i turned into a bib necklace for only $5. Can you believe this was a belt? OMG! I added a gold tone two finger ring I got for only $1.99 and my gold tone cuff that I bought for $2.50. The earrings were from the haul video I did for Diversity Thrift a couple of weeks ago and they only cost $0.50. I finished the look with a necktie as a belt, because little did I know I wasn't bloated that day (I was pregnant). And of course my favorite boots this season because I was opting to forgo the heels for a while.

 Look at me trying to profile with this belly, I'm such a Diva.

Happy Holidays!!

Official Men's Winter Sweater at Fashion Metro.... Love!

Saw this men's sweater at Fashion Metro in Southside Plaza in South Richmond, Virginia. It was $34.99 regular price, now on sale. Don't tell me that your man can't find decent clothes anywhere. I'm tired of seeing the "hood" over sized t-shirts on your skinny boyfriends. Step your man's game up, so he doesn't look like a bum.

and by the way.... Du-rags outside of the house is a NO-NO, your man will look seriously ratchet, if you allow this. I'm done.

I decided to do a haul video from my trip to Diversity Thrift store in Richmond, Virginia on Sunday November 6th, 2011. This was after attebnding the fantastic Don't Hate, Celebrate Fashion Show at The GCCR 1407 Sherwood Avenue 23220. It was a great experience and I got to walk out with alot of things for less than $15 total. From a leather jacket to some earrings, to some graphic t-shirts for my son, I was happy to say my experience and my fashion finds at this store (one of my favorites) was worth sharing with you.
