The Current Diva Space Setup...Yeah For Now :D!

This is when you come in the door to the right and I have my Vogues, my Michael Jackson books/magazines and my Betty Boop Dolls + some storage and fragrances...excuse the junk that doesn't belong.
Here is a better view of the same storage, bookcases and my chest of drawers, but my skincare is in the 6 drawers on the bottom...my ELF in the little crate some High End and misc foundations are in some of the others...
This is when you come in and everything is to the left side of the room and yes there's stuff under the table too that I didn't show yet but that will be later, but this is of the containers and drawers that aren't on the table.
Now this is the piece de resistance - the table and everything you could possibly think of is housed in those drawers from L'Oreal to Black Radiance to HiP to MAC, etc. Yeah I said it some MAC too...

Hello friends and fam and YT/FB/Blog fam howzit goin? Well, I hope. I logged on and thought I had a pic ready to post to show you guys and dolls (those interested, of course) of my current setup. And here are a few recent photos.
I know I have some pics I would love to share with my blogger fam and that's all of the purchases I've made since May when my main computer went bust on me. That will take some work however because I need to put the hauls in order. They are for the most part but it could use some tweaking before I post. I don't want things out of order and I want to make sure that I give you good information concerning each haul...location, prices, etc. the good stuff.

I've done a lot of E.L.F.ing (hehe) and some Wet N Wil'ing too...among other brands that I love like L.A. Colors, you saw the Metallic Palettes aren't they just gorgy? Yeah, I know right. So my video on my L.A. Colors part of my collection is sooooooo out of date right now...it's laughable.

I took a trip to Ross and Marshalls and Target (ya know Tar-zhay - LOL!) and I found some great things from Profusion (my bestie and I love their palettes) some Calvin Klein makeup for next to nothing and last but surely not least I found some old school Black Radiance...not at Target but my Rite-Aid and Wal-mart. They seem to be in the process of changing their packaging from their eyeshadows to their blushers, and lip colors. I want the old school in my collection. Hell, I'm still trying to organize this madness I call my Diva Cave / Makeup Room. But you can take a look at these current pic (s) and tell me what you guys think...and fair warning its not a full pan and scan of the Diva Space its just what I have on one table. The other table is where the computer, keyboard and misc. storage happens...no reason to bore you guys with that. The room itself is full and one of these days I will complete the tour in pics for my lovelies. But enjoy the smallish tour for now. Until next blog time on this same blog channel I wish you all Peace and Blessings.

Fall - My Favorite Time of Year!!!!!

This is my old setup...
Through countless hauls and organizing it has changed dramatically. I told the story a little in my vids but not the whole story. I wasn't able to finish that series like I wanted.

the pic next to my old setup is of a haul I did recently...finding the rest of the 5 Pan Metallic Palettes from LA Colors - one of many of my favorite inexpensive brands that I affectionately dub "cheap shit" LOL.

Well its fall my pretties and you know what that means... the changing of the leaves (so beautiful) and Halloween is fast approaching. The Retail Industry is getting all gussied up for it already really since August. You know that as soon as Back To School is underway and the kiddies are settled in class its time to think of Fall (my favorite season to break out the nice sweaters, bangin' jackets, and boots - love it). Maybe I'll show you guys in pics some of my all time favorite boots...trust I have a few LOL.
I live across the street from a park and they have the plenty of trees and they are gorgy when the leaves change - when I start doing my regular walks I will take pics and share with you guys.
I appreciate those that are following me. I hope you all continue to find something useful here.
So today I'm just going to find another random pic and post...

Until next post... I wish you all Peace and Blessings.
