Forever 21 Sunglasses

I lose sunglasses. Like crazy. And the ones I don't lose, I break. I was going to brag and say I've had this one pair of sunglasses for 3 months now...but I broke them today. If you have my kind of luck, you probably don't want to invest $20 or more for a pair of shades! I usually opt for cheap sunglasses and buy several pairs.

A great option I've found (besides Dollar Tree) is Forever 21! They have super cute glasses for under $6.  LOVE IT!
These are only $1.80! I love the color - so summer - and the aviator style looks good on just about everyone!

Forever 21 Women's F0039 Butterfly Sunglasses: Black: One Size
$3.50 - Basic, black sunglasses. The frames are stylish and make the look a little less boring.

$5.80 and super cute! So catty. :) Fierce!


$5.80 - These have a cool shape. They're black/brown - go with any outfit. 


These are just a few options! They have many, many more on their website and in stores. :)


E.L.F. (eyes lips face) Make-Up is Cheap & Fabulous

Ladies! Have you ever tried E.L.F. make up? They have eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, blush, lip gloss, everything! It works great. And even better? Almost everything they manufacture is only one dollar! That's right, $1! 


What can you get for $1? Liquid eyeliner, eyeliner pencils, mascara, single eyeshadow, blush, corrector, brushes, lip gloss and more. You can step it up to $3 for higher quality brushes and $5 for eyeshadow palettes. 


I have the "total face brush" that I use everyday for blush and it works great. It was only a dollar! I also have their liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow blush, facial whip, eyeshadow, and several makeup palettes.


I buy my E.L.F. make-up at Dollar Tree or Target. Target has a bigger selection. 


You can also visit E.L.F. online at http://www.eyeslipsface.com/


Ordering online is a good option if they are offering free shipping. The selection is bigger online but of course you have to wait for delivery. I prefer just traveling to my local Target. 


I am in no way paid or compensated to endorse E.L.F. I just love them - it's true!

I Love Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree is a great creation. Everything is a dollar! No price checking. No $1.19 items. No. It's all a dollar! (Except the baking soda and a few canned goods and candy bars...those are less.)

Yesterday I came across a 4-pack of iced coffee mix. Directions said "mix with water". Hmm...4 iced cups of coffee for a dollar? I wasn't so sure. I love Dollar Tree, but I doubt their quality at times. I thought, "Hey, it's just a dollar! What do I have to lose? And maybe I'll hit the iced coffee jackpot..." So I made my purchase and this morning I tried it. IT WAS DELICIOUS. No, not kidding. I mixed mine with ice and water and it tasted amazing. (The picture to the right is actual coffee I bought.) Buy this stuff. Seriously. Take chances. :)

That's right - only 25 cents for an amazing cup of iced coffee.  So what else does Dollar Tree offer, you may ask?

TONS!

Dish soap is a great buy. You can get Palmolive or Ajax for a dollar (just skip over that nasty Sun stuff). Lately they have had different size bottles so be sure to examine the sizes to get the best deal.

Toothpaste - name brand! Be sure to examine the sizes once again.

Always check the deodorant and shampoo/conditioner isle. I have found name brand products there before. I stocked up on Dove deodorant and Loreal conditioner a few months ago.

They have huge bags of french fries in the freezer section! They taste great (after all, it's just frozen potatoes! Don't buy name brand).

Coloring books for the kids. Can't seem to find any coloring books anywhere else for less!

And....sunglasses. Yes, for real. If you're anything like me and break or lose sunglasses like crazy, Dollar Tree definitely has some fashionable options. Why invest $14.99 or more in a pair of sunglasses?  Silliness. They have men's, women's and children's sunglasses. They aren't the most durable, but I think they're a great buy.

GENERAL TIPS FOR SHOPPING AT DOLLAR TREE


- Always compare sizes.
- Know the general prices of the items you usually buy. Some items aren't cheaper....*cough cough* canned foods.
- Look around! There ARE name brands mixed in and Dollar Tree gets new products in all the time...but the name brand items go fast. Stock up if it's a good deal (AKA if you ever see Dove deodorant...stock up!)
- Check expiration dates.
- Inspect items before you buy!

Favorite Women's Clothing Store: Ross Stores

My favorite store? For clothes, it's Ross! No tie.

Ross Stores is the best place to find women's clothes. They have all sizes. They have a great selection of dresses as well as tops.

Most of my dresses from Ross Stores cost $14.99 or under. No, not kidding! They carry more expensive things too (but let's face it, I'm cheap!).

I usually check out the clearance racks first, then browse through Juniors and Womens. They have formal wear, casual wear and work attire. Color selection is good too. I can usually find an item I like in a few different colors.

In my area, there are also Marshalls and T.J.Maxx stores. They're cool too, but not the best, in my opinion. Their prices are higher! Still worth a try. They are similar in nature.
