Zombie Sluts and Cheap Eye Shadow

Last night I hung out with some friends of mine, cooked dinner, and watched movies from the 1990s. We watched one of my all time favorites, My Boyfriend's Back. You know the one: Johnny Dingle dies for Missy McCloud and then comes back from the dead and eats Chuck for her? No?!?! Big Chuck and the rest of the people in town call her a Zombie Slut and a Whore of the Undead? Still NO?!?! Damn. Buy it over at Amazon for a good laugh. Here! Buy it HERE! It is eligible for Super Saver Shipping, also. Well, I don't leave the house without makeup and thought that the movie night was the perfect night to test out a surprise product!

The other day Mummy Dearest and I were jetting around town in our oh-so-environmentally friendly V-8 and she stated that she needed "some of that stuff you use on your lips to make your lipstick stay on." By that, she meant Sealed With a Kiss from Sally Beauty Supply (snag it here or at your local Sally). She has never bought it before, so I point it out at the register, oh so low to the ground (never sing "How low can you go?" to my mother. EVER) and between watching her try not to hurt herself and dodging the things she likes to hurl my way, I spotted Sally Girl cosmetics! Only 99cents! Too good to be true, right?

WRONG! They are mini eye shadows, lips glosses, lipsticks, bronzers, nail polishes, and glitters (am I missing anything?) for under $1 USD. So, dear reader, I was a guinea pig for you and snagged a couple of the mini baked eye shadows (buy here). I picked up the Dark Green and what I think is the Dark Purple--but neither are dark! They're actually clear and bright colors.

I've only tried the green out because Mummy Dearest commandeered the purple for her collection.

Excuse the poor quality, my camera phone is a stinker. Want to see it on the eye?

As you can see, it really is more of a bright aqua green than a dark green. But, I know you're asking, how does it wear? FANTASTICALLY! Seriously, dear reader, next time you're near a Sally Beauty Supply and you have a hand full of change to spend--drop in and snag you a couple of these babies. For less than $1 USD they hold up well, they're pretty, and they're a great quality.

What about you? Have you tried these little pretties yet?

  2. You should. Buy a Beauty Club card ($5 I think)! It is good for a year and if you spend more than $25 in a month, you get a coupon in your email. Excellent deals. Plus, you can use it online
