Review: CARGO 3 Mascara

I was very excited when I was sent new mascara by CARGO called 3: triple action mascara – the mascara that thickens, lengthens and curls. Finally, a product that takes care of all my needs without having to apply layer after layer of mascara! This mascara combines the latest technology in pigments and styling polymers with a special brush that separates, elongates, stretches and curls the lashes. Loaded with anti-oxidants and 11 amino acids essential for the health of hair follicles, this mascara makes your lashes look and feel great.

The brush wand has an amazing lash comb that tapers at the point and gets wider towards the end. The teeth on the lash comb feel like they are getting each lash and coating it with a hint of mascara. I usually have to apply many coats of mascara to my stubborn lashes but was AMAZED when I used this product for the first time!
The application is smooth and makes lashes thick but never clumpy. It provides length without having to apply numerous coats of mascara, and curls beautifully!!
After applying two coats, I experienced no smudging, nor running. I loved loved loved that it kept my lashes looking luscious and thick without feeling heavy or clumpy!
It also never felt hard or gunky when taking it off at the end of the night !It also washes off easily, might I ass, which is always such a long process with me when wearing the leading brands mascara.

Overall, I’d have to say I am once again very impressed with this CARGO and their new mascara!! Not only am I a loyal fan of their Bronzer but now I am a Lover of CARGO 3 Mascara!!!
I definitely recommend everyone to try this new mascara when it comes out in September 2010! I will be using it for my clients and of course, for myself!

US $20.00

L.A.M.B Worthington bag in Acid Houndstooth print XoXo

I just died and went to heaven...at least I feel like I have! I went to THE GROVE yesterday in West Hollywood, and scored the most AWESOME handbag at Nordstroms.
I've always been a HUGE fan of Gwen Stefani's "wicked style", and when I saw this Acid Houndstooth print on this Worthington style bag, I HAD TO HAVE IT!
Something in me snapped and I keep thinking, "You will get that purse!" I told myself that for the past month... and every time I went to Nordstroms I tried it on, walked around with it, and drooled all over it. I wanted it so bad, but I've been saving for a new car.
We'll just when I thought it was over for my purse and I, my boss calls me up with the best news ever!
"Have you been a good girl this week?" She asks teasingly.
"Always!" I laugh, "Except this morning when I had to check a lady at Starbucks, but she was cursing in front of a toddler!"
"Oh, we'll that's not your fault," she said agreeably, "Well I have an errand I need you to do for me!"
"Of course, what is it," I asked. Me being a personal assistant to her I was used to doing random errands.
"I want you to go into Nordstroms and pick out a new LAMB bag for yourself on me!" She said, "Just charge it since you are on my account."
"WAIT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS??!!!" I shouted," OMG!!!!! No way, no way!!"
As soon as I hung up, I rushed down Sunset trying to weave in and out of traffic. I literally parked and ran into Nordstroms and my smile was HUGE! Not only was I getting a new purse, but I didn't have to pay for it.
I walked over to the L.A.M.B section, picked up my new Worthington bag, and almost passed out! OK, I'm joking, but the drama queen did unleash a bit that day!!
Truly the BEST gift ever!!
Honestly, you can never go wrong with a L.A.M.B bag....find your own happiness and get one for yourself!!

The guide to dating a HIGH MAINTENENCE FEMALE

The guide to dating a HIGH MAINTENENCE FEMALE
By: Miss FranQueen


"I am feisty, impatient, I make mistakes and I am cranky when I don't sleep. I am out of control and at times hard to handle. If you can't handle me at my worst than you probably don't deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe


We see them everywhere, Shinning in MAC makeup, dressed to the nines and tottering in sky high stilettos; arriving to thier mani/pedi/hair appointment in over sized sunglasses clutching a Starbucks cup. Flirting with anyone and everyone and loving the attention they receive. The women that most guys love and are often intimidated by...those HIGH MAINTENENCE FEMALES. The ones who spend money weekly and monthly to keep the nails immaculate, the highlights bright, and the eyebrows waxed to perfection.
Although it can be very fun and beneficial to date one of these women, it is often frustrating and quite challenging! Being a HMF myself, I put together a little guide to help those who are thinking of dating, are involved with, or just flat out LOVE those HMF's. Here is a brief run down on how to succeed and win the heart of a HMF.
Attention is the most important key in making us happy. She LOVES attention, we thrive off it. Show her attention by flirting to get her really going. There is nothing she love more than a compliment, or two, or five! HMF's also love sweet text messages for no reason at all, a phone call so she knows you were thinking of her, gifts both inexpensive and pricey, invitations to dinner or work events; she loves to be shown off! She just wants to be the belle of the ball, the center of attention and wants you to make her feel like the only person in that room. She loves attention in any and all ways so try to be creative and think of ways to get that million dollar smile shining.
Reassurance is also key in making her feel loved. Let her know that she is the queen of your heart and there is nobody who could ever take her place. She wants to know that she is one of a kind!
There are times when she can seem picky and its because she is. Know her likes and dislikes! Don't buy her a perfume if you don't know what her scent is. Even if it is something classy like Chanel no.5 ...she may be a VERSACE Bright Crystal kind of girl. NEVER buy her clothing unless she has already picked it out and told you the color and size. If you can't get the specific products she uses do not buy anything, no matter how similar it is! Also, know her favorite flowers and never give her the same kind twice in a row.
Be creative when taking her on dates and always do your research! If she prefers the outdoors, then take her on that picnic in the park. If she loves the beach then plan that romantic dinner at sunset followed by a midnight dance in the sand. Find out her favorite foods, activities, and favorite places. Never assume! When she isn't happy she won’t be afraid to tell you.
She has a mind of her own and has a strong opinion about almost everything. Asking for her input on any subject matter will please her. HMF are stylish, creative, intelligent and often have great ideas. They are determined, somewhat independent, and strong willed, and driven. After all, they always get what they want when they want it and how they want it!
Being with a HMF has its rewards. They will always look and smell good for you. Make you feel like a king. Spoil you with attention and compliments and make you feel like a real man in the bedroom. They are fun, great company and their laughter is heaven. Keep them happy and content and your love life will soar. It's not easy to date a HMF, but when done the right way it sure is FUN!

Twilight saga: ECPLISPE 6/30/10

Im really looking fowrad to seeing this movie! Im a TWILIGHT nerd and read all of the books before the first movie came out. The only part that kid of gets to me is Rachelle Lefevre(right), the fiery red head who played the villainous and vengeful "Victoria" in Twilight and New Moon, will NOT be reprising her role in the third installment of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Instead they have hired Bryce Dallas Howard to TRY and play the role of Victoria.
Its not as dramatic as when Tiffani Thiessen took over Shannen Doherty's place on 90210 *sigh* but still....this is a big change. Im curious to see how its all going to play out!
My advice: READ THE BOOKS!!!! Vampires are sexy!!! = )


In THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between Edward and Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
