two tone.

Hi all! Just wanted to share an outfit of the day... Check it out:

 

Sweater: Old Navy $8

Skirt: H&M $6

Tights, Tank: random

Boots: Marshalls $20

Bag: F21 gifted

Earrings: Urban Outfitters $5

What's crazy is how sad I look!! As if I got deserted right before Valentine's... And now that I'm thinking about it, this outfit could totally be good for that, haha! I adore this pink sweater. It's slouchy and cozy - just perfect.

The other thing I'm loving? Playing around with my hair. It's growing way fast! I only cut it two months ago and it's already almost too long for me to rock a plain ol' short 'do!

The last shot was a little close-up of the makeup; been experimenting with my NAKED and NAKED2 palettes almost every single day now... It's truly an obessession.

It has been unseasonably warm here for the middle of Winter. Especially considering I live nowhere near the west coast... It's truly a miracle. ♥

What miraculous thing has happened to you this week??  ;)

freebies

Who isn’t psyched for free stuff???!! Uhhh… Nobody! I was so pleasantly surprised yesterday. I tend to frequent Sephora and Ulta. Usually, I am on the prowl for a deal/sale, but this time I went in for something specific. I was going into Sephora in order to purchase the Juice Beauty Clear Skin Kit. Scandalous Beauty had been talking about their products for a while and seemed genuinely pleased. Normally, I wouldn’t spring for anything more than my beloved Biorè line, but sometimes my skin needs something new in order to jumpstart a response. I’ve got these stubborn little blemish scars that have just refused to go away!! Arggghh… Anyways, as I am always out to save some change, the kit was totally the more affordable option. Purchasing those products on their own would cost me close to $70 or $80 bucks easy and the kit is about $40.

But, that’s not the best part! (I’m getting there, I promise…) You know those free, little cards we all sign up for, along with email alerts? Well, I didn’t realize how many points I had racked up! It was enough for a free sample and there was small group to choose from! I chose the mini Lorac TANtalizing bronzer. How ‘fabulous’ is that??! Next, I sauntered across the street to Ulta to use my 20% off coupon… and that’s right, you guessed it! MORE free stuff! They were having a ‘buy 2 get 2 free’ on some of their items. I zoomed in on the NYX display and got these…

I am already in love with the lip (freebie #1) and eye liners. The felt tip on the eyeliner makes for total precise application which is awesome! The package insisted that it was as exact as pencil and as intense as liquid. So true! The mascara is pretty nice too. I’m all about volumized lashes, but I don’t know that it lives up to my other favorites. Hmm… I think I’ll be comparing later on to see. The lipstick (freebie #2) is nice and creamy, but I don’t know what to pair it with yet. I sense some new combos coming about…

numero uno!

So... Where to begin??? This is my first blog ever! I am totally new to sharing information via technology as opposed to using my big mouth... I guess I could start by sharing the fact that I am just too obsessed with makeup and fashion, but doing it on a dime. Not that I have anything against the more expensive or name brand, but like so many others, I just can't afford it! I've noticed that most info seems to be geared more towards higher end lines and I think it would be nice to keep it simple/cheap/frugal (whatever lingo suits you best). Thus, "frugal fabulosity" was born! Yep, that's right... in fact, just a few minutes ago! I am open to trying out the more expensive one day, but until then, the drugstore is where it's at!! If you have stopped by to take a look I would LOVE your feedback...

A little more about me, you ask? Well... I am a 22 yr old cutie pie with just a little too much time on my hands. Personal style is a hobby of mine, I can't get enough of General Hospital and for whatever reason I have started a love affair with makeup. What better way to make the relationship work than by finding an affordable way to do it? :)
