I'll list affordable stores & prices to snag 'em...just comment & let me know before I go to the effort. Hope you all enjoy! I'll just say, "You're welome!" in advance.

Hair Trends to Love

Beauty Makeup Tricks

  1. Golden Shadow - shimmery is always better
  2. Rocker - bold bright eye shadow 'played up' with metallics
