PRODUCT REVIEW/Faceoff: Chanel Corrector Perfector VS Maybelline Fit Me
So before I took the Chanel back, I attempted a side-by-side with the Maybelline. Similar consistencies, though for $6 and change the coverage of the Maybelline was MUCH better. Bear in mind that the color of this Maybelline is not right, though even the right shade (20 in pics 10 is better though), its still requiring a few coats. But for $6 and change that trumps $40 a tube in a second.
PRODUCT REVIEW: CHANEL CORRECTEUR PERFECTION LONG LASTING CONCEALER
While on a totally rad girl's weekend, I went to the Nordstrom at Mall of America. I made a beeline for a few things, one of which was the Chanel counter to pick up this product. It's retailing for $40, and had it been worth every penny I wouldn't have batted an eye, as I am sure you are aware concealer is my thing since I have serious undereye craziness.
Short version:
If you like your concealer to, I dunno, conceal things, then this is not the product for you to drop $40 on.

PRODUCT REVIEW: the iPhone 4 ...aka the review I never thought I'd be doing
So after Sprint screwed most if not all of their customers, especially long-time customers who were with them over a decade, by taking away their upgrades and credits and employee discounts for some asanine reason they thought was good customer service, I decided I was done. They haven't put out an exciting phone out in years, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. They also cannot seem to figure out when I really joined Sprint, despite being repeatedly provided with a copy of my receipt from when I first switched in 1999, New Years Eve to be exact. I have been told and read several different dates and years, not one is correct. They wouldn't correct it, even with proof, and of COURSE after repeatedly losing the copy they wanted the original (why, so you can lose that too? No.)
Despite my deep disgust for ATT, and because my husband no longer works for another telecom company and works to support ATT, I figured I might as well start looking around. My entire family and all my coworkers recently had gotten iPhones, simply for lack of any better phone options. None of us were all that excited about Android, and it seems awfully unstable in the times I have played with it, not to mention a battery destroyer. The folks at the ATT store out by my Boss's house were very helpful with all the guys at work, so I began to harass them about contract buyouts, options, etc. Because our Sprint Contracts were almost up, they were willing to buy us out, which really was a credit on the bill and I covered the payout to Sprint on my final bill. Easy enough. We started the port, ironically when there was an outage after a software update for ATT, though I would probably have waited had I talked to the husband first....
Anyway...About the PHONE:

LATISSE UPDATE: again
I am still using the Latisse most days. Since its been 6 months since I started I wanted to let you all know that the length is DEFINITELY remarkable. The thickness and darkness are no different than before. I had hopes for the thickness but at least they're longer. They also seem to curl better and the curl stays a little better than before. I still use as much mascara unfortunately but it looks infinitely better.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Too-Faced Absolutely Flawless Concealer
It's awfully hard to come back to this and talk about makeup and frivolous stuff when the last entry is about Mr. Wyatt....But I must heal and keep going.
My first post back will be a review about yet another concealer trying to cover my ridiculous circles. I picked up this TOO-FACED one on Beauty.com though I've seen it at Ulta and Sephora. I was buying something for the next review so I decided to lump it all together.
Contrary to the name, this is not my idea of flawless coverage, let alone ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS as the name implies....
