Now they also give you the option to search the site for the daily prizes as well and yes you can buy and also accept any winnings if chosen. Make sure you bookmark this http://ebay.promotionexpert.com/doorbuster/day5/index.html because it won't always show up on the main page and there's a real time counter of how much of each item is still available. Now there is some extra rules on the shopping option.

• All prize items will stay at a value of $1 with free shipping but immediate payment is required with PAYPAL ONY.
• 1 Entry per person per eBay user ID per household through entire promotion period. Yes that's right. So if you buy something make sure it's something you want because you won't be able to buy another one later at the great $1 price.
  

Go here http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/contests-and-sweepstakes/880777 for not only Terms and Conditions but to find out what the daily 2 prizes/special priced items will be. The Ultimate Daily Deal will be announced each morning after 12:00AM.


So hope that helps and have fun. I'll make a video later of other special offers thanks!

Impatient :]

What about? My 120 pro palette I ordered. I'm dying to start working with it but kind of bummed because it so happens the holiday falls around the time it's suppose to come in. Hoping that maybe i'll get lucky and my shipment comes tomorrow but we'll see!

I really need to go shopping for my basics. I am out of my primers for both face and eyes, as well as a good liquid or cream foundation. I love my mineral foundations don't get me wrong but with being crunched for time lately it's just more ideal for me to do liquid. By now you can tell i'm suuuuuuch a novice at makeup again lol.

Literally i'll sit there in the stores and feel too lame sometimes to ask for help when it comes to the biggest thing the foundation. I swear sometimes I have no color near my skin haha kind of sucks to always have to blend colors to get the right one. Not to mention i'm sure i'm completely off base with using the right brushes for the right job haha but hey it's all a learning process eh.

Oh here's something funny. So after getting to wash allll my brushes I decide that it's time for me to create my brush holder. But before I washed them I realized I split them up in groups of washed and unwashed. Yet with trying to do 80 billion things at one time without thinking put them all in and was about to take a pic. LOL you'll have to forgive me when I get in a mode I just space like crazy. Sometimes i'm in a sense more focused and do things better but today was just not one of those days haha. Whatever at least I can laugh about it.

I'm going to post up some pics of the last few looks I remembered to take snaps of. Please excuse the bareness look of it. Without priming the colors look so natural on me it's irritating haha. But like i've said trying to get the hang of things so if you guys think you might have some tips or resolutions please do feel free to guide or spare some advice it'd be grately appreciated :]

brush set & small case collection

I'm stoked about these brushes I got recently from ebay I absolutely love love love them! It's just some of my makeup but figured it'd be a better picture with something in there haha. This case was actually a set preloaded I got from Kmart I wanted something to compliment my set but i'm ultimately want to get a gold case :]

If you guys want to the links to these items just let me know and i'll post them up for you along with the prices and so forth.

the start of something new. . .

So this is my first post :] of many more to come. Basically will focus on my getting back into makeup, hair, and all that fun stuff. And some other random tidbits. Right now i'm really into home remedies for beauty specifically for hair care. I have some stubborn impossible hair and just trying to help work through it.

Any recommendations, tips, and all that would be appreciated. Obviously i'm no expert but always can learn from others.
