Splurge!

A few weeks ago, I read in the paper about a Beauty & Fashion Shopping Extravaganza coming to town called SPLURGE.  The event was yesterday and I took my Mom with me, because I wanted to spend time with her and what better way right?  It was being held at one of our many Casinos in one of their Ballrooms.  The event was to raise money for Breast Cancer Research, since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

There were exhibitors from wall to wall with everything to purchase from Jewelry, Fashion, Shoes, Cosmetics, Photography and Beauty Services.  They were doing makeovers and using straightening irons on women's hair.  They also had a lot of free drawings to win different products and services.

As we made it towards the back, they had free samples of the best Mini Cupcakes compliments of Cake Fetish Cupcakes here in Albuquerque.  They were also giving Champagne, Wine and Lemon Drop samples.  Cupcakes & Cocktails I guess you would call it :)

They had the most beautiful things there and the prices were amazing!  I took my camera so I could share it with you, until we got there and there are no cameras, video recorders or photography allowed in the Casino!  I had completely forgot that all of our Casinos are on Indian land.

We spent a few hours there and when you leave you get a little gift bag with brand name products in them.  So I took some pictures of the goodies we received in the bag.

I didn't purchase anything there, because I have to really want something bad enough to buy it, but my Mom purchased a few things, including something for me :)  She spoils me :)  She bought me this lotion we both sampled and we both loved it, but it was too high priced for me.  The lotion is called Hempz Body Lotion, and it is supposed to moisturize for 12 hours, plus it smells AMAZING!  It is a 17 Oz. bottle for $18.00 and she surprised me with it.  I can't stop smelling my hands and arms!

Here is what was in the gift bag:

1.  Stainless Steel High Heel Cake Server by Slice of Style

2.  Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash by Giovanni

3.  Hope in a Jar Moisturizer by Philosophy

4.  Spray Hair Wax by Lanza Healing Haircare 

5. New Beauty Magazine (I think it's new & retail cost is $9.95!)

6. Milani  Powder Blush in #08 Luminous

7.  White Shower Scrubber

8.  Colgate Pro Clinical Whitening Gel

9.  Luna Nutritional Bar (Very good by the way)

So all in all we had a great time! Here are some photos I took outside the Casino because it was so pretty:

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Getting to know me.....

First of all, I'd like to welcome you to my very 1st Blog!  My name is Lori and I was born and raised here in Albuquerque, NM.  It's one of the most beautiful places in the USA.  I have always been a Girly Girl, but I don't ever mind getting my hands dirty!  I got my first pair of heels when I was 12 years old!  I remember them well, in fact they are now back in style....uh hum..... now I'm just aging myself ;) 

One of the reasons for this blog is to find "My Fashion Style."  I am a self-proclaimed shopaholic and I go through clothes like crazy, because I get bored of wearing the same thing more than a few times.  So I go through my closet and give what I don't wear anymore to charity, then I go buy more.  It's what I do :)

I love thrift shops and I am very budget minded!  That is another reason I started this blog, so I can pass on to you some tips on paying less for clothing & beauty products.  I hardly ever pay full price for anything (Unless I really, really want it!) and I can spot a Clearance sign from a mile away! 

I am also an Amateur Photographer, so I will be posting pictures not only of my outfits, but pictures I've taken in New Mexico, so you can get an idea of what it looks like where I live.  I'm still working on setting up the blog, as it is very new to me, but I can't wait to get to know anyone who subscribes!  Please know that I will always appreciate you for taking the time to read my posts and I will try to answer any questions you may have.  Until then...Here are a few pictures of me from the past few years, so you know what I look like.
