Show Me Your Closet

Have you ever shopped at one, a Dollar Store, or 99 Cents Store, as some are also called?  I have and do on a regular basis!  I always find some great buys there!  Sometimes, I even discover things that I might have never thought of using, for my home or kitchen or even myself!  Now those are always a great find for a curvy diva on a budget ! In fact, on my last trip, I scored Maybelline's New York Define-A-Brow in Dark Brown/Brun Fonce' - only $1!! Maybelline's Define-a-Brow pencil - still a bargain for $5.69 at Drugstore.com  In the past I've scored Victoria's Secret lip gloss; L.A.
