Hi y'all!!! So Ms. Katrina put me on to a little place called Dollar General, lol! She's always posting good finds. Where I used to live the Dollar Stores are really crappy and aren't worth going into. So I typed Dollar General into my GPS and went on my adventure!!
Holla!!! All this only cost me $5!
E.L.F. Brushes!! I love E.L.F. Brushes!!!! They are super soft. Put up with my abuse and they don't shed.
Foundation Brush, Total Face Brush, & Eyeliner Brush
I already have other versions/brands of these brushes but, it's always good to have a few choices, backups etc...
Dual Sharper! I'm always losing these!!!
L.A.Colors ~ Shimmering Loose Eyeshadow w/ brush
The brush is useless & craptastic!!
It's kinda a pain because the pigment is like trapped in the bottom, which makes it 'knock over proof'.. I think the best way to use it is to pour some of the pigment on the back of your hand or a paper plate or something.
(no base, just swiped some on my wrist)
I got some other uncessesary stuff from the Dollar Store. I'll be back stalking it looking for more E.L.F. & L.A. Color stuff. They had a bunch of L.A. Color palettes, but I um owned all of the ones I saw.....
Here's my FOTN from last night. It's not a random FOTN because I actaully remember the date of this look. I was wearing a blue top so I wanted to do a blue eye but a dark blue almost denim like. I didn't want to look like summer. I noticed down here. It's more acceptable to wear bolder colors, maybe because it's warmer? IDK, so when in Rome......
Crap I Used...

* Later added (while waiting for M&M pre-gaming) MAC Glitter Liner in Girl Grove. Which I love b/c it's a subtle clear glitter (looks white-ish in the tube). You can make it your own. The clearness pretty much "takes" to whatever color your wearing.
Sorry this one isn't as clear....
Set my hair with my Remington Hot Rollers (I was too lazy to return it). I acutally kinda like it now. I need another set of Hot Rollers. 20 isn't enough for all of "the hair"..... I need like 10 more rollers >_<
Cam-whoring while waiting for Monica & Milaka to get ready....

I was trying to do a "Peace Up... A-Town Down" pose but it wasn't working... The "to go juice hit me"...
After all of that! We didn't go anywhere! M & M weren't didn't finish getting ready until like after 1am.... We had an incident regarding the
Geogia's Move Over Law. My poor cousin got a $500 ticket!!! I don't know what happened b/c I was to busy in the back seat taking pics of myself and sipping on my "
to go juice" & messing with my Blackberry... We didn't get to Downtown ATL until like after 1:30am... The first club we went to looked dead inside (forgot name) so we didn't go in. Club #2 (forgot name) looked dead.... Club #3 (Miami) M&M argued about going in... By that time is was like after 3am.... I was losing my buzz.....I didn't make enough
"to go juice" Abor Mist Wine mixed with Bacardi Dragonfruit Strawberry Rum (it's really good!).... So we drove back home and hit the drive through at Checkers..... I forgot how good Checkers was. I haven't had it since I lived on Long Island............
Luv Y'all!

P.S.
Here's more info on the GA Move Over Law..... I'm posting this for
Melissa &
Jennifer! My Northeast babes who are moving to ATL shortly! It's kinda obvious to move over when you see the po-po doing their business on the side of the road, but here it's a law! It's a
$500.00 law. In some states the fine is NO LESS THAN
$1,000!!!
GEORGIA'S MOVE OVER LAW SAVES LIVES
Georgia’s new Move-Over Law says drivers must move-over for emergency vehicles stopped on the side of the highway. The law is meant to keep officers AND traffic violators safe from crashes with passing cars.
The Move-Over Law was passed in the aftermath of growing numbers of police, emergency technicians and DOT workers being killed during routine traffic stops, crash responses and highway construction projects around the nation. Right now, more than thirty states have Move-Over Laws on the books, with fines that range as high as a thousand dollars or more in some jurisdictions. The Move-Over fine in Georgia is an “attention-getting” five-hundred-dollars.
However, failure to obey the Move-Over Law can lead to consequences far more serious than fines. According to FBI statistics, traffic crashes claim the lives of more police personnel than any other cause of death in the line of duty, including shootings. The FBI says last year, forty-nine officers died in crashes across the country. Thirteen of those law enforcement officers were struck and killed by passing vehicles while they worked outside their patrol cars.
“Georgia’s Move-Over Law was meant to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities to police officers, paramedics, firefighters, tow truck operators and highway maintenance workers,” said Director Bob Dallas of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. Reports show emergency vehicles of all types have been struck while parked beside Georgia highways, even while their emergency lights were flashing.
The Georgia Move-Over Law requires drivers to move-over one lane when possible if an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is parked on the shoulder of the highway. And if traffic is too heavy to move-over safely, the law requires drivers to slow down below the posted speed limit instead AND to be prepared to stop.
Move-Over-Law: Georgia Code, Title 40-6-16.
The operator of a motor vehicle approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle that is displaying flashing yellow, amber, white, red, or blue lights shall approach the authorized emergency vehicle with due caution and shall, absent any other direction by a peace officer, proceed as follows:
1. Make a lane change into a lane not adjacent to the authorized emergency vehicle if possible in the existing safety and traffic conditions; or If a lane change under paragraph (1) of this subsection would be impossible, prohibited by law, or unsafe, reduce the speed of the motor vehicle to a reasonable and proper speed for the existing road and traffic conditions, which speed shall be less than the posted speed limit, and be prepared to stop.
b. The operator of a motor vehicle approaching a stationary towing or recovery vehicle or a stationary highway maintenance vehicle that is displaying flashing yellow, amber, or red lights shall approach the vehicle with due caution and shall, absent any other direction by a peace officer, proceed as follows:
1. Make a lane change into a lane not adjacent to the towing, recovery, or highway maintenance vehicle if possible in the existing safety and traffic conditions; or
2. If a lane change under paragraph (1) of this subsection would be impossible, prohibited by law, or unsafe, reduce the speed of the motor vehicle to a reasonable and proper speed for the existing road and traffic conditions, which speed shall be less than the posted speed limit, and be prepared to stop.
cViolation of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500.00 .
