A Common Good in Cosmetics
What do
have in common? (Besides the fact that you can get them all in one stop at Sephora's)...
This
Some of your favorite (including mine... i wear all three i mentioned) cosmetics companies do not test on animals when creating their products. To some of you this may be a big deal, to others it may not. And to those that it doesnt shame on you, haven't you seen Legally Blonde 2? (i kid i kid... to each their own really). To be able to use this logo when advertising their product (you'll actually see the lil bunny guy in sephora next to them, i know i saw him next to Smashbox and Urban Decay durring my last trip) a company must either have signed PETA's statement of assurance or provided a statement verifying that they do not conduct or commission any nonrequired animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and that they pledge not to do so in the future. On the list it will even have a V next to the companies that are completely Vegan. (Urban Decay has an entire section on their website devoted to show you which of their products are vegan).
The full list along with other info can be found at http://www.caringconsumer.com/
So what about you? Do you look into whether your cosmetics have been tested on animals or not? Does it even matter to you if they have?

Still alive + Some Thrift Store Thriftiness
So my little sis is visiting from Alaska and i've been to busy to make a proper post here. (I have something in the works, no worries...for the few that read this blog anyways...lol). But to tide you over here is the "bitch" himself... William Sledd!
I personally have nothing against thrift stores (except shoes... that just seems wrong). I got an awesome semi formal at one for under $20 and if your big in to reconstructing the possibilities are endless. What about you guys? Do you shop at thrift stores?

Chloe, Marc Jacobs, and Prada... Oh My!
Not all of us are lucky enough to live near an outlet mall...and some of us have "expensive taste" as my mom likes to call it. (Meaning i like really nice things even though i cant afford them half the time). Well, there is a website for you then at http://www.yoox.com .
Yoox is pretty much an online high end outlet mall. They have everything from Armani to Versace and everything in between. Their selection varies as well as their sizes. If you sign up to be on their mailing list you can find out about their major sales before anyone else for an even bigger discount. So if you've had your eye on a certain designer piece give Yoox a try. They may have it or you may discover another designer piece to fall in love with.

Mascara's on Parade #5
Todays mascara will be Cargo's Texas Lash...
CARGO's new must-have for Texas-sized high volume lashes in an instant. The fat, oversized brush allows for easy application with just one coat for immediate impact.
Well, before i can show you if it actually worked, i have to show you the sleep and coffee deprived before photo...
And did i get Texas sized lashes?
Well, they do have more deffinition then before and they did appear to get some more length. (my lashes are naturaly unruley so thats why they dont have that natural curl). But volume? I'm a little iffy on that one. They really don't appear to be that much thicker...
Five mascara's down and five more to go... Will any of these mascara's give me the "oomf" that im looking for...
