The thing to look for is the label on the back or bottom of the product. The faces are usually white, clear, or gray. M.A.C. has a black label. There are are so many things down to the way the eyeshadow is pressed into the palettes. Open your eyes chicas!
There was so many nail products! Above are jars of foils and glitters for acrylic nails and also nail pens. Below are the ever so popular crackle style nail polishes in different colors for $5.
Jude was being a good sport, and I rewarded him with a bubble gun. It got everywhere and Carly wanted to kill herself because she didn’t want her UGGS to get messed up.
I almost died when I saw that Tutti Frutti had Guava flavor frozen yogurt! It was so refreshing on such a great day. Later that day it rained men when I was on my way home so it was perfect timing.
I don’t think I am sexy in the slightest…I just thought this was funny haha. 
I did buy these shirts, 2 for $10. A couple of weeks before my friend Crystal bought Jude the Muno shirt (red). They had Yo Gabba Gabba dolls too! 
On our way back to the car we came across a store that had tons of great stuff for $1 and no tax! Eyelashes, makeup, nail polish, flowers for your hair, accessories and TONS of rings!
If you are friends with me on Facebook, you would know I have been over doing it with eye lashes. I placed my second order on ebay and then when I saw this display I almost died.
Years ago, Carly and I went to a Mark Ryden Exhibit ( he is one of my favorite artists).
Carly saw this and thought I would like it so I had to have it!
OMG okay so you cant go to “Alley” without something fake…intentional or not…but I saw this and I thought it was RALPH by Ralph Lauren. I got tricked ahaha.
She told me it was $12 and I was sold! Then she was saying Alpha and I looked at the bottle and I was cracking up. 
Oh well it smells the same.
Have fun in palm springs!! Looks like you had an amazing day..

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun shopping :-)…Can you give me the name of the store where you got your rings and lashes for $1, please? 😀
Please please post the names or streets where I can find the eyelashes and rings because it's hard to find them with out the names please please!!!!!!!
Where do you get your eyelashes on ebay! Please tell us 🙂
I can't believe you like Mar Ryden?!?! I loooove him and have never found anyone who knows who he is let along likes him. When I was in college studying art I did a project on him and loved it. Could replicate his work all day long.
Just a quick question, unrelated to this blog post but, i was reading your older posts and noticed you use glue on naisl aswell. How do you remove them? And do they remove easily? Because I use the Kiss nails and hate getting them off because they take forever, and also ruin my natural nails. I find myself going round in a circle, needing false ones to cover up my damaged nails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
