Adventures in JcPenny's

Your mission should you choose to accept it...

Walk around JcP, JCP, Penny's, JcPennys, whatever the heck you are supposed to call that store that has the letters J C P E N N Y. Find the ugliest dress and try it on. Walk around the new JCP home shops. Wish you have lots of money to spend.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

My girl Jessie and I when out on girl's day adventure can be seen in a mall of some kind. (It's tradition to find a mall where ever we go.) We had just gotten mani/pedi's and had ZERO money to spend. We walked into all of our favorite stores including Francesca's (Best store EVER), Ulta, Loft, and Bath and Body Works.

We decided to go in Penny's. Walk around and in traditional fashion, make fun of all the ugly clothes that no person should be caught dead in. As we were looking around, I found a little piece of heaven in JCP and had to (HAD TO) get Jessie in it (at my discretion).



It was the funniest thing I have seen in a very long time.

First of all, why was their a wedding dress in the middle of clearance in JCP? When I get married, the first place I am going to go when I want to try on gowns is JCP. Cause that totally makes a lot of logical sense.

I was so excited when they announced that she was going to have a line in a department store that would be reasonable for everyone to shop at. But when really looking at the line, it is the oddest line ever. I'm sure that Pearl by Georgina Chapman did well around prom season in certain regions but that dress would never be bought in Altamonte Springs, FL, unless you are looking for a cheap wedding dress (on sale for $59). It would be a great dress but that fabric was so itchy and scratchy. Not cute.


The new home shops made me wish I lived in a house and could decorate until I went broke. Why does money make the world go round? #annoyed


It was such a fun day!

Review: Rimmel London BB Cream

Time to jump on the beauty product bandwagon.

Introducing drugstore BB creams.

I am a foundation girl and always have been. To be quite honest, the idea of a cream on my face that has the possibilities of replacing my foundation freaked me out. I like my foundation. I like the "junk" on my face to be covered so no one has to see it, including me.

So  when BB creams came out on the market and took over, I was fine with it but I couldn't find one that I liked in the drugstore. I am not about to pay $30-$40 for one product at the makeup counter. Never have and never will. I like my products readily available at any Target or Walmart. Word!

But then Rimmel introduced their new contribution to the world of drugstore BB creams and I became a very happy girl.


BB Cream SPF 25


Primes, Moisturizes, Minimizes Pores, Conceals, Covers, Smoothes, Mattifies, Brightens, and helps Protect.

Pros
  • I love using this product when I am at home and running errands. 
  • Light/Medium coverage compared to drugstore foundations.  
  • SPF 25
  • When you apply a powder over the BB cream it doesn't get shiny throughout the day
  • Matches my skin tone very well
  • Doesn't get heavy 
  • Don't need a lot of product to cover your entire face. Little goes a long way
Cons
  • Looks streaky when applied with fingers. (I have to apply with a foundation sponge)
  • Need to use a concealer with it to make sure my "junk" is covered. 
Side note: 
Junk-(n) /jÉ™NGk/ acne, acne scaring, facial volcanoes, explosions on face 

Overall, I love this product. I rarely reach for my foundations anymore. 

Grade A-


Have you seen the make-up look using Rimmel BB Cream
