So What! Wednesday

So What Wednesday
 
It's So What! Wednesday over at Life After I Dew and I'm linking up!
 
So What! if...
  • I have NO idea what I want for Christmas this year. My mom asked for my list and I have nothing!
  • I am working 7 days this week. Hello overtime. I love you!
  • I still don't know what to get my mom and dad for Christmas. I mean what do you get people who have everything???
  • I am anxiously awaiting all of my goodies being shipped to the house. It's like a pre-Christmas present!
  • I'm bummed that I didn't receive my Birchbox as scheduled*
  • I dread going into work every. single. day. If people would follow a system things would go much smoother and I wouldn't have to complain about it!
What are you saying SO WHAT! to this week?

November Ipsy Review

I recieved my first Ipsy bag. I'm excited to try out all of the products. I'm really excited that they sent 4 full size products.



First look

The info card with great offers on this month's products

 Everything out of the bag

The eyeliner and nail polish out of their boxes

This month's bag was titled "Party Perfect". I recieved a sample of The Balm's Meet Matt{e} in a dark brown color, Bare Minerals Mavelous Moxie Lipgloss in Dare Devil, Chella Eyebrow Defining Gel, Nailtini Nail Polish in Millionaire and Starlet Eye Pencil in Black.

I will be using all of these products. I've never used eyebrow gel before so it will be interesting to see what that's all about. I'm also excited to use the eyeshadow and lip gloss. I don't really know about the liner since I haven't used black in forever. It might be too harsh for me.

Nailtini Millionaire Nail Polish {$13}: This nail polish has big flecks of gold in it. This will be great alone or over another color.

Starlet Eye Pencil in Black {$11}: This might not get too much use but I will try it out.

Chella Eyebrow Gel {$18}: Like I said, I've never used eyebrow gel before so I'm interested in how this works.

the BALM Meet Matt{e} Matt Batali Eye Shadow {$1.92}: This is almost a full size sample of one of the BALM's eyeshdows so I'm going to say it actually is a full size shadow. There are 9 different colors in this palette. This will be an interesting one to try as well.

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Dare Devil {$9}: I'm guessing this is half the size of the actual product so I cut the amount in half. I love Bare Minerals products and can't wait to try this out.

My first bag was a great surprise and it was well worth the $10 considering everything in it was worth way more than what I spent for the month. I can't wait for next months bag!

So WHAT! Wednesday

So What Wednesday

It's So WHAT! Wednesday at Shannon's and I'm linking up.

SO WHAT if...
  • I'm working 40 hours + this week. Last week I worked 40+ and I'm not complaining. {Plus I'm working 4 hours on Thanksgiving. Yay for time and a half!}
  • I am way behind on the shows I DVR. I don't have time to sit in the other room and watch them. If someone could tell me how to watch 2 Broke Girls on my computer I would be a happy girl.
  • I just opened by Ipsy bag from this month and was disappointed I got the eyebrow gel instead of the Benefit mascara. Oh well.
  • I'm excited to get dressed in matching jammies with the boyfriend and dress Buddy up like an elf for pictures.
  • I really wanted my Birchbox today!
  • I will be having 2 Thanksgivings this year.
  • I've read the first two books of 50 Shades and don't really care to read the third one. {It's not high on my priority list right now.}
  • I want to be done with my Christmas shopping by the time Thanksgiving rolls around. {I think it's a possibility.}

For all you Starbucks lovers out there that want a single cup coffee maker, Ebates gives you a percent back on the Verismo brewer not to mention anything else you buy online at the Starbucks store.

 There are also many more stores to check out! Browse around and see if there are any other online stores you shop at often. It's easy to sign up and start saving! You can copy and paste this link to get started!

Why pay full price when you can get the things you buy most for a discounted price? I use Ebates for many things and it has definitely been most rewarding.

Friday's Letters

Photobucket
 
Dear Buddy, We need to start taking walks. You need to lose some weight and I'm the one who needs to make this happen.  

Dear Oklahoma Weather, This whole 78 degrees in November is crap! It's supposed to be fall and is it too much to ask to get some 60 degree weather before December comes around and we get hit with Winter shit!  

Dear Boyfriend, I know you're stressing out about classes and then on top of that starting to pay off student loans in June/July. I was totally serious when I said I would help you out. Take the offer!!!!  

Dear Work, My paychecks need to start getting bigger ASAP! Now that one of the Fitting Room people have a new job, I'm seriously wanting her hours! Please and Thank You!!!  

Dear Car, I promise I will get you an oil change and engine fixed soon!!! I'm a little poor right now and it really sucks!
