It's a gross yet beautiful rainy Saturday. Gross if you have to be in the rain -- beautiful if you don't! I'm in the house cleaning, working, and trying to fight thru this fog of sleepiness that's smothering me like gravy on biscuits. I am so exhausted, for no apparent reason. Maybe it's the rain, maybe it's the 5 hours of sleep I'm running on -- who knows. Anyhoo, I wanted to show you guys what these uber-awesome Kat Von D palettes look like because they're absolute love. The fact you get eight highly-pigmented shadows for $34 in one artsy-fartsy palette is nothing short of amazing.

I went to CVS today just to browse and walked out with way too much crap. I'm taking some of it back, actually -- because it sucks. I need to do something about impulse shopping, especially at CVS where almost everything is overpriced by at least a buck or two. Anyway, I finally picked up a mascara I've been meaning to try, but was trying to be responsible and limit my mascara intake so that I didn't end up wasting any tubes. I am a hardcore mascara junkie trying to pass this mascara-rehab situation with flying colors. So the pretty purple tube pulled me in -- the flesh is weak. I liked the original Covergirl LashBlast
, but I didn't looove it. The original promised lots of volume, and this new LashBlast Fusion promises volume and length (a CG first) -- but does it deliver?

Physicians Formula is a brand I often walk right past whenever I go to any given drugstore. Not because I'm uninterested, but mainly because I'm overwhelmed and they just have so much stuff to choose from. I'd go crazy and the flesh is so weak. There's been a buzz over this one particular product and I just couldn't pass it up! You no longer need to spend a lot of money on incredible, high-quality gel liners. Physicians Formula debuted a new (and amazing) line of gel liner trio's for specific eye colors (Brown, Blue, Green and Hazel). It doesn't matter what your eye color is, you can buy all four sets, but they just separated them to make it easier for beginners to stick to colors that would compliment their individual eye color. I picked up the 'Brown Eyes' set, but please believe I'll be back to get a few of the others. They're on sale right now at CVS for 40% off the $10.95 price tag, so scoot your juicy booties on over there and pick these up!

There's a ton of things that make me happy, but I'm gonna tell you one thing in specific. Finding super awesome drugstore gems! The Liquif-Eye Metallic Eye Pencils are absolute love! At just $5.49 a piece while having to neighbor an aisle full of cottony menstrual solutions, they're a steal! I picked three of the five colors up from my local CVS several weeks ago, and I've seriously fallen in love with them. I got them in Black, Brown and Silver. I still need to get my hands on the Gold and Aqua colors, but my raggedy CVS never has those colors in stock. Womp. The fact that these pencils cost so little, yet are completely comparable to a creamy high-end pencil is truly amazing...and we love that don't we?

So in my quest to shop for "holy grail" products, I'm always trying out new mascaras. Drugstore and department store brands. I recently purchased the Maybelline Pulse Perfection mascara -- $14.99, and it was horrible. It glued my lashes together, burned my eyes, and caused a lot of my lashes to fall out when I tried to remove it. A total nightmare. The "vibrating" wand had no juice to it at all, and as I said in my rant video, I could've taped the wand to one of my vibrators and got better results...
