Dem cheap products..

For the first time in a long time I was able to buy much needed stuff with money that I earned and not with money that was given to me. Fortunately for me I've found some pretty awesome yet cheap drugstore products throughout the years. Some of these are currently my favorite products:


L'oreal Paris' Superior Preference is a good brand, however, know that NO hair dye is ever good for your hair, especially the one's that come in a box. This is my addiction. I've had my hair so many different colors, and that is most likely the reason for the breaking of my hair. So always be careful when putting things like this in your hair.

Anyway, I still use this stuff (i know shame on me), and I think this color is gorgeous. It's 9A Light Ashe Blonde. I usually go for the cheaper brand (which I can't even remember the name) that has a color very similar and works jut as well, however, they were out of stock so I ended up with this one. I get these for my roots but end up putting it all over my head in which i get a gold to platinum look. Some might not like this, but I do. Unfortunately, with doing this, I damage the ends of my hair because they are so frail and I have dyed them SO much. Moving on...



This is my absolute favorite drugstore powder. Rimmel's Stay Matte 011 Creamy Natural is smooth, covers very well, and smells good! It gives me that nice smooth matte finish and it only costs about $4 at Walmart.



NYC's 887 Black Noir Liquid Eyeliner is amazing. If you're experienced with precision tips (not felt) then you will love this. It glides on easily and you get a very dramatic dark black liner. However, it is very non water proof and will come off easily if you get it wet. I think this cost me $1 at Walmart.


Maybelline's Volum'Express The Falsies Flared 286 Blackest Black is around $5 and is very convenient. I personally think it's unique shape helps you get all of your lashes the way you want them. I personally don't think it gives a cat eye look unless you have lashes that actually grow that way, yet it is still a nice mascara.


I think Rimmel has some very nice base products. Rimmel's Clean Finish 240 Soft Beige goes on beautifully. It's light and non oily. When you finish it with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, it gives a very nice matte doll like look. The cap is connected to a applicator and it's a nice little convenient touch.


This is probably the most random of them all but Suave's deodorant only costs $2 at Walmart and it is probably one of the best. Definitely my go to cheap deodorant.


Well I hope this gave you some insight on what to buy the next time you stop by Walmart or the like. Have a blessed day!

Hair cut and shop orders!

Once upon a time I cut my bangs on my own and it was a disaster. At first they were alright but I honestly wasn't going for this look.


I wanted pinup bangs like these


and boy was that a huge mistake. My bangs ended up looking like this


But that's not even the worst of it. However, I'm not going to share those embarrassing pictures. I kept cutting at them and making it worse. Once you get bangs, there's no going back and then you'll be waiting years for them to grow back out.

Recently, however, I wanted bangs again. I wanted them right this time and so I went to this Hair Cuttery place and a nice lady named Amanda cut my hair. I got it trimmed also. I learned that my hair's ends are like cotton (which I have noticed) and completely break off (like cotton) when wet. >.< It's all the dye and bleach I've used in my hair. I bought some conditioning treatment called Biolage's Hydrotherapie Conditioning Balm and I hope it will work.



So these are my new bangs


and I have mixed feelings for them. I think Amanda cut one side shorter than othe other as you can see in the picture and the side that's longer, she missed some hair. It's thicker on the right side (my left). They are cute but totally different and I have a round face so I don't think this accentuates my face as much but like I said, there's no going back. I will get use to them; they're kind of cute.

On another note, my shop true blue qt


is doing really well for only being open for about a week. The Totoro, bear, and kitty tights are really popular!

Have a blessed day!

there's a first for everything.

So this is my first entry! I suppose I will introduce myself and welcome you to the blog and tell you a bit about what it's going to include. 


My name is tabitha and I'm 23 years of age. I will be 24 in September. I am starting my 2nd year of college this coming Monday and I'm currently enrolled full time. I'm mostly studying psychology and sociology; both very interesting subjects. I live in central Florida and I personally love it. I'm in the middle of two very popular cities where there is a lot to do if you got the money. I love the town I live in and I love the warm weather because I'm not a huge fan of the cold. I am currently unemployed and looking for a part time job so I can get my very own place. All the while, I run iheartjurassicpark on tumblr and my own little shop called true blue qt. There I sell hand made jewelry, hair accessories, vintage/unique thrift items, and other trendy apparel, shoes, purses, and more! However, I've noticed a lot of very popular shops that sell the same exact items as I do but for twice as more - yikes! Stop on by where I find really cute stuff and save money! I enjoy being on tumblr and reddit and playing pc/video games including league of legends and currently, borderlands 2! I enjoy many things such as reading, writing, films, games, and crafting. You can see all my interests in my profile.

What you can expect to see on this blog

Here is a list of things you will eventually find on my blog:
  • Personal entries
  • Beauty Tutorials
  • DIY Tutorials
  • Reviews
  • Giveaways
  • Products from my shop (coupons, etc.)
  • Other cute and nerdy things

The reason I created this blog is because I enjoy writing and I make enough personal entries on my personal tumblr already, plus my store is up and running and I think this will be a great way to interact the two. I'm excited to start this and hope you guys will join me on this little journey of mine!

l♥ve, tabitha
