Wardrobe Wednesday: Cacique Bras


Cacique bras... Where have you been all my life?

Cacique, a division of Lane Bryant, has what I think is the best deal on bras and the best quality bras.

They run approximately $30 each, but they constantly (It seems) have Buy 1 get 1 1/2 off sales and twice a year they have the semiannual sale of buy 2 get 2 free.

Now, I haven't tried their underwear yet, but it is on the agenda.

Enjoy these bras, they are some of the most comfortable clothing I have ever worn!

P.S. Youtube is still giving me issues so I am going to have to stick with no video until this is straightened out. There WILL be a weekend whatever this week though and I think it is a good one! :) Plus I will post last weeks :)

Makeup Monday: Cover Sticks by N.Y.C. (New York Color)






We are focusing on that yellow stick up there!

OMG!!!! This is my new favorite product!!! There are a few issues that I will get into later, but this is a total 5!!!!!

This is me first thing in the morning:


Lovely aren't I?

Anyway.... my eyes close up:


My nose looks so weird in this picture! Anyway, see the purple?

Well, I took a little concealer on my finger and made "football stripes" as I call the over the bags:

I blend it in with my fingers and then it looks like this:

Nothing but the concealer!

Just add your primer, foundation, etc on top of it. :)

Now, there are some downsides...

It goes on smooth and creamy, which is good, but the stick is creamy as well so it breaks easily. so you need to use a brush or your fingers to apply it.

But as you see, it works sooooo well!

Cost: $1.99 (I found it cheaper though)

Wardrobe Wednesday: Payless Shoes

Note from Anni: All images are clickable!

If you were anything like me in elementary school and had big feet this is what you wore:


All the other kids had their cool hightops and you had plain white shoes.

Then came Payless:


Women's shoes go up to a 13! That is unheard of! I mean 418 styles in size 13 alone. So take a look around, there are many different filter options and tons of different styles as well. I don't buy shoes anywhere else!

Another plus? Free shipping to a store, and ground shipping in the US is only $5.95. Any size order!

They also have a boatload of accessories. Everything is a good quality too.

Oh, Payless carries a wide array of kids sizes too! No more shoe embarrassment!

Let me know if you order anything! I always like to see what people get lol!

Peace out!

Makeup Monday: Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer

Okay... First off, I want to apologize for the quality of the photos. My camera decided to have a fit and I didn't realize it until I was working on the entry. They WILL be better next time. I promise!
For this review, I am referring to the green primer on the far left.

I highly recommend primer as it is, and this one is GREAT for if you have redness. Being pale and a red head is hard, especially in the summer, but this product helps me relax a little. Does it work miracles? No, but I also don't expect it to.

Here is me before:


As you see, kinda red and grainy... oh wait... that is the pic.... (Told you they were bad!)

Anyway, the stuff goes on really green and if you are like me, just dab it on various parts of your face to make sure everything gets covered:


And then after rubbing it in (I use two fingers), it should look like this:


Aren't I pretty? You are still looking at the graininess aren't you? *sigh*

I know you can't really tell a difference in these photos, but this stuff REALLY works.

It also comes in apricot for concealing under eye circles and age spots as well as lavender for yellow toned skin.
