10 Dollar Mall!

If you're a reader of my blog, then you'll know that I love a bargain. If a deal can be found, I can find it. I'm a girl, and I love clothes. I love to shop and I get a high when I find a hot top or the perfect pair of jeans. One day I was searching for cheap clothing websites - and I don't mean cheap quality, just cheap prices. I stumbled upon 10 Dollar Mall
What?! Everything is $10 bucks or less! That is my kind of shopping. So I started looking around the site, and they sell everything! Juniors clothes, plus sizes (perfect for me!), mens, kids and accessories! Have I died and gone to heaven? Yes, yes I have.

I have bought so much from 10 Dollar Mall that I get a package at least once a week. They always have new items and the stuff just gets better and better!

Now, I know what you're thinking: cheap prices mean cheap quality. WRONG. You are so wrong. 10 Dollar Mall clothes are not only super cute and affordable, but they're high quality, too! I beat the crap out of clothes, wearing them, washing them, throwing in the dryer, but not once has one thing I have bought from 10 Dollar Mall been destroyed or shrunk or even look worn. All of my stuff looks brand new, including my favorite shirt from there that I wear at least once a week and wash every time I wear it. The quality is out of this world! Wash it, throw it in the dryer and put it on! When my dogs jump on me, I always expect to get pulls or holes in my clothes, but never has anything I have bought from 10 Dollar Mall ever gotten destroyed by my two dogs.

There clothes are so cute! Just tonight I was shopping around when I came across the cutest cardigans! I am a sucker for a cardigan and these were adorable! I mean, come on, it's pink AND sparkly! I am definitely buying this dress! How cute is that? Perfect for going out to dinner with your beau or hanging out with the girls! This skirt is definitely coming home to my house. I'll feel like a ballerina in it. :) How fun is this sequin dress? It's pink and sparkly, one of my first rules of fashion. ;)

Did I mention that if you "like" 10 Dollar Mall on Facebook, you get 3% off your order? No? Well, you do. And every time you tweet, you get 3% off. Bargains on top of bargains. Gotta love it.

Happy shopping!!

Ode to ELF

If you're like me, and I'm assuming you are because you're reading my blog, you like quality cheap stuff. I LOVE E (eyes). L (lips). F (face) cosmetics. There's really nothing over 10 bucks, except for a few sets. Words can not express how much I adore ELF. They're cheap, they have a huge line, and they're professional quality. And! You can find a lot at Target.

My favorite things:
  • 100 Color Eyeshadow Palette --This has every color you could possibly imagine. You won't need anymore eyeshadow.
  •  Angled Eyeliner Brush -- This brush changed the way I wear makeup. I'm not even kidding. I am really stupid when it comes to putting on eyeliner because I like to use the gel stuff and I get it everywhere. This brush makes everything go on so precisely, I don't know how I lived without it.
  • Cream Eyeliner -- Awesome sauce. Stays put, doesn't wear off and looks fab!
  • Clear Mascara -- This is great. It's double ended so it has a skinny brush on one end for your eyebrows and a thicker brush at the other end for your lashes. My eyebrows are out of control so this is perfect. I use the eyelash side for a base to my regular mascara.
  • Clarifying Pressed Powder -- I'm a "pink face." Meaning my face is naturally rosy. I've been trying to find something forever to help reduce the look of redness and this works so well. :)
  • Mineral Concealer -- One sixth the price of Bare Essentials, works just as well.
  • Mist and Set -- That shit is not moving. 
  • Flawless Foundation -- I only use a tiny bit of this under my eyes sometimes. It's very thick but covers well
  • Kabuki Face Brush -- Cheap and perfect! It's so soft and you can wash it without the bristles getting stiff and coarse like other brushes. 
  • Eye Shadow Brush -- Covers my eyelid in one swoop and works great with loose eyeshadow, creams and pressed eye shadow.
The best part? Sign up for their email updates and 2-3 times a week there's a sale or a coupon code. Seriously. They're cheap anyway, but then they constantly throw deals at you. How can you resist?

If you have any suggestions for stuff, leave it in the comments! I would love to hear what you love from ELF!
