Get Your Wise Buys...
While out on an ice cream run with the family ($1 scoop nights at Baskin Robbins!) we decided to take a last minute stop into the new Wise Buys Liquidators that just opened up in our neighborhood. Since it's $9.98 or less we were hoping to find some great deals unlike the Dollar Stores.
When we first walked in it was your typical sodas and chips, toilet papers, light bulbs etc. All by the way had incredible prices! But to my surprise they had a fashion section! And with some pretty nice stuff. I instantly started taking pics with my Instagram app and knew I had to write about this.
Some of my favorite finds were the stilettos pictured above. $9.98! I couldn't believe it! And an adorable floral skirt perfect for summer. There was a James Dean wooden purse in different shapes that were so cute. They had jean shorts, hats, purses. Even a fancy fanny pack shown above on the mannequin. I strangely liked it. I wonder if they will make a comeback? If they do I still don't think I could stomach it.
And of course some home decor, my fave being the Marilyn poster that was mounted on a wood board. I think I will get that for my new studio.
Go check them out! Maybe you will find a Wise Buy that will make your day!

Dollar Store False Eyelashes - Yay or Nay?
While on a fun shopping day with my daughter, we decided to stop by the 99 Cent store to get her a toy. I love to check out the beauty section and to see what little gems I could find. And this was my lucky day! To my surprise I found a wide array of false eyelashes for less then a $1 each!! But are they good? I purchased one of everything they had. I figured, why not? They are only a dollar each. I'm sure I can use them in different ways other then lashes if they looked terrible.
Moving on to our girl's night out. I decided that this was a good time to give them a try. I went with the S1 lash. They looked like a glammed up version of a natural lash. I noticed right away the the lash was not real human hair, but a synthetic. That's ok. I just would never put these on a bride or for something very special. But for being a synthetic they were very light. And they looked great on. Good shape, good length, great feel.
Removal of the lash from it's container was effortless and of course with my DUO glue it stuck on my lash line fabulously all night long. I asked everyone what they thought and they thought they were real. I'll go with that!
Overall, I say, why not? These lashes are super fun to play with and for the investment you won't be loosing out. And you won't feel bad about throwing them away after one application.
