cheap thrills - truth in advertising

often advertisers are, for lack of a nicer way of saying it, blowing it out their asses. i get it, they're trying to sell something. but a lot of the time it's just a bunch of bunk. every once in a while, however, a product comes along that is every bit as good as "they" say. it's always kind of gratifying, and even more so when it falls into the cheap thrill category.

one such product which has rocked my little world cheapie style is Cover Girl Exact Eyelights, with its selling point of being an "eye brightening" mascara. i should admit that part of the reason i bought it originally is because Rihanna just looked so damn pretty in the ad. (yeah, i'm a sucker sometimes. but i mean she is really REALLY pretty, and i kind of really adore her, so it's not entirely my fault)

so i hopped on the elevator and skipped into the drugstore. bibbadity bobbadity boo i have my eyelights. i got the "black sapphire" - to bring out the blue in my eyes (i just may go hog wild and try the "black ruby" and jimmy up the green i have hiding in there) i got home, sat down at the vanity and went to work. and i swear on all things holy that my eyes looked brighter, a bit more sparkly, and just a bit more blue. all this happiness, just from a trip to the local drugstore. i mean really, what more can a girl ask for?
