I am also on a new venture to start couponing here in Vegas. I will put up all my hauls and sales when I can. So excited to be back!!

QM BOLC

Hey everyone, I know its been a while but I have been transitioning from Las Vegas to Virginia. I am currently doing my BOLC (Basic Officer Leadership Course). I am a QUARTERMASTER (logistics) officer and our schooling is held here in Ft. Lee Virginia. I arrived here last week and will be here until early next year. So far the in-processing has been long and tedious but I have meet some pretty cool people. We will start having real classes this week and we will get into our routine as well. Our days will be long since we have to get up and do physical fitness for an hour and then got right into our day of school. After we finish school we will have the nights off and the weekends as well. Its basically like college all over again just with uniforms :D anyways I will keep you all posted on the how it goes but just know that I am well and settled in.

ELF Minty Lip Gloss/Lip Stain

Last month I snatched up two new lip glosses from ELF. I was looking for something new besides what I tend to always get which is the E.L.F. luscious liquid lipstick. While I was looking I found a ELF minty gloss and an ELF lip stain both retail at $3.00 dollars. Although the price is is cheap the product is nothing like that. 

Lip Stain in Birthday Suit

 REVIEW: At first I hated this lip stain. I only bought this color because they didn't have any others and I was dying to try a stain. As soon as I put on the lip stain by itself I hated it and left it alone but a few days later I picked it up again and tried the two step process. Once I added the gloss on top of the stain it looked ten times better. Im not in love with it but the bright pink really tones down and it is a workable color. Its nice but the color would go better with a lighter skin tone. Overall I would buy the stain again I would just choose a different color.

Minty Gloss in Nashville

REVIEW: This gloss is so refreshing and the color is so beautiful with my skin tone. When you put the gloss on you automatically feel the mint sensation on your lips which is so lovely. The gloss is not sticky at all and you dont need very much on your lips either. Over all I am in love with this gloss and cant stop using it. 

TRAVALO

Finally after months of hearing about TRAVALOs I finally got around to acquiring one. I was so excited to get this in the mail. I have been wanting one for a really long time and when I saw these one Amazon for 2 for $15 I had to grab them. My husbands cologne top stopped working and I felt so bad about throwing away the bottle when there was still a significant amount of cologne in it. My solution to this was the TRAVALO. My husband was so impressed that it actually worked flawlessly. Needless to say, I am very HAPPY with my TRAVALOs.

Apologies

Oh my goodness! Where does time fly?! I have been so busy with family, husband, and ARMY time that I have totally abandoned this blog :( And to add to all of that chaos my computer totally shut down on me. After 4 long hard years of college work it finally crapped out. Good news: I got a new one! So no more excuses. well peoples im back in action! SO again I apologize for the delay. On another note I recently started "sweeping" which is basically me filling out sweepstakes forms in hopes that I will win something. So far no luck but I have only been at it for 2 weeks. Also I found this great new page where you can get free samples. My cousin would call me a "cheap scape" but I hate the connotation to that word. I am quite the bargainer and I love me a good clearance or sale! My mom taught me how to stretch my dollar! So when I stumbled onto this free sample site I had to jump on it. The samples usually arrive between 6-8 weeks so I should be getting some good stuff soon. I'll keep you all updated. As for now look out for reviews on of course BBW and I recently purchased some ELF things as well. Well I hope you guys arnt too mad at me. I promise I will be back! Stay tuned on EL OCHO!
