Shopping madness must stop!!

Since I moved a few weeks ago I had to purchase some things which obviously added up, but today marks the last day I shop until Chirstmas in MN.  I have already told myself that my hair appointment late November is the exception to the above.

So a week ago I purchased a pair of brown tall boots since EVERYONE kept saying I needed to buy a pair to wear with tight pants.  I loved them so much that today I bought them in black! 

I then went to the most dangerous store, Target.  I decided to buy a pair of leggings or two. Me, Sam, buying leggings, something I swore I wouldn't.  The nice thing is they could double up for workout pants if I wanted to (or is it me trying to justify my purchase)? I also bought another cardigan but in a different color from the one I just bought mainly 'cause it was $7 cheaper.

I have been watching a lot, and I mean, A LOT of YouTube videos as of late since I loath TV. I decided to buy two of Revlon's "Just Bitten Kissable" balm stain in the colors Crush and Adore. Can I say that these are BEYOND fabulous? I've had a few lip stains in the past from Sephora and they were horrid.  These go on very nice, and there's a faint smell of mint at application.  The nice thing is they seem to moisturize your lips.  The color Crush is sorta a berry color, and Adore is a natural redish/subtle color.  LOVE!!!!

Then it was time to find a cheaper mascara.  I've been using Bare Minerals' Flawless Definition in waterproof.  It's been great but the brush gets sorta messy.  I decided to try after viewing on YouTube Maybelline's "The Rocket" Volum express in waterproof.  Here's hoping it is waterproof 'cause a lot of waterproof mascara's tend to still run on my face (my lids are oily).  And the last product I bought after reading great things is Maybelline's Age Rewind Eraser/Dark Circle.  While I am blessed that I have gone 35 years without under eye circles/dark bags/you name it, I decided to try it just to brighten up the lower part of my under eye area.  So far I like it!  I got the color Neutralizer and it does brighten that area.  

So I'm done shopping until my trip to MN :) I swear! However, I will buy a pumpkin sice candle tomorrow at Bath and Body works since I wasn't impressed with Yankee Candle's selection (no new pumpkin scents this year).  Plus the prices have gone up!! $28 for a large candle?!! Funny at my garage sale a few months ago, this one lady was trying to buy a brand new large Yankee candle from me for $3 when I had put the price at $5.  I said, "No..." She can now buy it for 9x more retail at the store.  I sold 15 candles and still have over 15 large (new) yankee candles.  People SERIOUSLY try and low ball people at garage sales...

Lastly I went to the gym today and did my 30 minute elliptical workout and 30 minutes with 8 pound weights focusing on my arms per my trainer.  I can't wait for tomorrow's Zumba class!!!
