Love from Iyah
Iyah (aka "As pink as my Juicy") was having a make-up sale. I got this a while ago. I just forgot to post, till i looked through my memory card on my camera. So.. anyways, i spotted some things i wanted. 2 lippies. Both from collections i pretty much passed on. Except for 1 e/s from the neo-sci fi. So when she posted these, i jumped on it. And let me say that she is the nicest person ever! She and i both talked back and forth. We talked about the upcoming IMATS. She wanted to know if i was going. I SAID YES!!! I won't miss it. And other stuff. So hopefully we'll meet up and greet. She said that there's a bunch of bloggers that are gonna meet up and roam!
I got my tickets, have you! Oh, and she threw in the mini perfume, it smells soo good! So thanks girl! :)
Buy Gwyneth Paltrow's clothes!
Gwyneth’s selling off some mind-blowing, probably barely worn, stuff including a handful of Chanel bags, dresses from Balenciaga, Michael Kors, tops from Helmut Lang and Marni, Prada, Proenza and Vivier shoes.
Clothes are in the 4/6 range, shoes are size 8.5/9, bags are for everyone and prices are insanely low at the moment- $62 for the Proenza shoes, $146 for the Balenciaga dress.
Profits from the auction go to Robin Hood Foundation, a New York charity that targets poverty within the city. So say what you will about Gwyneth, but you know you’d get a kick out of owning her particular Burberry studded sandals via charity.
