The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

A lil lapse in posting. I was in Vegas the last few days.. staying at the Cosmopolitan, which I highly recommend EXCEPT for one thing, and its just about a deal breaker.

CRAPPY water pressure. I am a semi hair freak, and if I can't get water pressure strong enough to get shampoo / conditioner out of my hair, then I can't wash my hair. I already only wash 2x a week, but IF I had gone to the pool or something, we would have had a serious issue. It was really realllllly really weak. I prefer a water stream that feels like your skin is peeling off, but if the spray is so light you literally can't feel it hit your skin, something is really wrong.

Picture above is the Chandelier Bar which looks a LOT better in pictures. Just sayin'.

Bye Bye Wendy Williams...

Sorry Wendy didn't make it on DWTS. Dancing isn't for everyone right ? I never thought she'd win, but I was hoping..

BUT John Rich - Celebrity Apprentice, he is my PICK TO WIN. I'd lay odds in Vegas on him. Saying this while I boycott the show. I refuse to watch ever since ' The Donald' fired TBOZ from TLC ( maybe 2 seasons ago ) FOR NO REASON. BOOOOO - I have my standards. But I remember John from his show ' Gone Country ' - which I LOOOOVED, and well, he doesn't play around.

We'll see what happens with him :D

Cork-ease

I have these shoes in carts all over the internet. Amazon, Nordstrom.. I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. These are a LOOONG time lemming. They come higher than this, I don't want those. The sides of the platform are suede, but you can get them in cork.. I am still kind of deciding on that. You can also get them in different colors - green, darker brown, metallic etc.. they don't come in half sizes so I imagine I am a 10 ( booo ) the price is about $135 standard. A store by me sells these, down in Laguna Beach. I think I might go try them on to make sure of the size, if the price is right ( this store is WAY over priced IMO. Probably for tourists. Boooo again ) I would like to buy them locally. Maybe I will check them out Friday.

What do you think ? Anyone have these ? They were popular in the 70's. And these are the SAME ones, same brand.

Drugstore ' haul '

I went to Walmart today to check out some of the Hard Candy cosmetics, more specifically the ' Fox in a Box' I've been hearing about. I purchased ' Skinny Dipping'. Its basically a bright peach/coral blush with a bronzer. The bronzer looks pinkish. It was $6.00. MUA raves on these so I hope I like it.

John Frieda Luxurious Volume anytime Volume Refresher - aka dry shampoo. I'm still on the quest for a reasonably priced dry shampoo. I have no idea how this is, but I will do a review on it.

Palmers Skin Success - basically a cream with 2% hydroquinone in it. To lighten my dark spots. It says it has Vitamins C and E, Alpha Hydroxy and sunscreen. I don't know about the sunscreen, it doesn't say SPF. I am not relying on it, and will be using my own Neutrogena SPF 70 like usual. I have tried some other creams but nothing is working on the dark spots, and I know this will take care of it.

L'Oreal EverSleek Sulfate Free Reparative Smoothing condition - that dang Jennifer Lopez gets to me in the print ads. LOL. Silicone free and claims 48 hr frizz control. We'll see.

Covergirl Lip Perfection lipstick in Divine. This color was SCREAMING my name. Its hardly anything I would wear, but I love it, its like an orchid lavender color. I see 4 reviews on MUA with 100% repurchase and 4.5 stars. Interesting.

Will report back on these. I am REALLY hopeful for the dry shampoo.

Cartier Entrelaces Ring - pink gold

Long long time lemming. Hoping and crossing fingers its coming for Mothers Day. I threw the 'hint' out there today.

Here's what you do, you pick one thing ridiculously $$ and one that is not, the 'not' is what I really want so it sounds good in comparison. LOL. Just kidding.. kind of. I have wanted this ring for about 2 years or so. I hope it works out.

Tucker for Target

** this is not my picture, nor is it me. Its borrowed from a message board **

This dress is part of Targets GO line.. where all the designers make clothes - Rodarte, Thakoon all that. It has pretty much been VERY hit or miss, with mostly misses IMO since they put out Patrick Robinson which was PRE- GAP so you know that was a long time ago, but anyway.. this is at TARGET now and this picture does not even do this dress justice. I think this picture is good but this dress is so cute ON. Really. I just got the last one at my Target in Medium. Normally I wear about a 6/8 in dresses. I am about 5'9 so I am tall and not always hopeful that any dress doesn't look like a top on me, this one is a decent above the knee length. And $39.99.

I think the possibilities are endless. Cute with boots, flats, a denim jacket, a cardi - just adorable. Its 100% polyester, so if that turns you off, you won't like it. I love polyester and the feel of this dress is nice, I was just praying it was not rayon.

Check it out ladies. This one is really really cute.

Neutrogena Naturals

This is an awesome cleanser. I am a big fan of Neutrogena in general, the oil free acne wash - its my one true HG. This does a great job of removing make up, its not drying, it lathers nice, it feels nice, it smells good - someone said it smells like sweet tarts.. kind of but not so perfume-y.. ITS NATURAL.

It works GREAT with a Clarisonic brush I'll tell you that. Bravo Neutrogena, this is a keeper.
