Mabel's On Main

Last night I took the bf out for his pre-birthday dinner, just us two and I've been wanting to try this new spot called Mabel's on Main (it used to be Mabel Murphy's for some of ya'll that remember).

I loved it. Very chic in the heart of downtown Scottsdale, so you know it's trendy. The only con that I have is if you plan on going just for dinner, go earlier than 10. LOL. We had reservations at 9:30 and well by 10:15 the Scottsdale "IT" crowd was already making their presence known. We were sitting in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by all the people. I felt like an animal on display as I devoured my Chicken Lollipop and blue cheese (seriously to die for), while the bf grubbed on bites of filet w/ horseradish (he said it was delish). I recommend getting their probably around 7 so you can enjoy your food.  Also, don't go expecting a huge menu; it is very limited, yet very yummy.

Overall, I had a great time, with a great person, and enjoyed some nice drinks and food.

This is from their website:

Through the front door of Mabel's is our main lounge, where you will be immersed in the grandeur of a lost era. Studded leather seating, intricately embossed tin ceilings and dark wood furnishings are a throwback to times when sophistication and luxury were exclusive to all but a few. You will find our hand-crafted cocktails at your fingertips and a late-night menu at your disposal. The lounge is large enough to lose yourself in, if that is what you desire, yet small enough to feel subdued in an intimate setting.

Taco Festival

While everyone is at Phoenix Fashion Week, tomorrow I will be at the Arizona Taco Festival.... Holler!

The event will take place at the Scottsdale Waterfront (7025 E. Via Soleri – lot across from Olive & Ivy) on Saturday, October 9 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. General admission is $10 (free for kids under 12); a VIP ticket is available for $50, food samples will be $2 each, while tequila samples, margaritas and Mexican beers will be available for $4-$12. Select proceeds from all profits will benefit Waste Not.

More E.L.F

I'm telling you, I can't get enough of E.L.F. cosmetics. They are super cheap, yet the makeup itself isn't cheap. Today I received my newest order which consists of their Golden Bronzer for only $3 and it's fabulous.

I also purchased their mineral eyeshadow in Caffeinated which I wore today and I absolutely LOVE!

And their Eye Primer and Liner Sealer which sets your eyeshadow so you don't get the makeup creases along with the liner sealer which keeps your eyeliner from running down your eyes.

All of the above product was only $3 each, but if you subscribe to their website, they send you coupons all the time....the coupon I used for the above product was buy one, get one half off. I seriously spent barely $14 and I got like 6 things.

I also got their Natural Nymph lipstick... I've always worn Angel or Snob by MAC to give me that "natural", but I wanted something a little more nude, so I went with ELF's Natural color and I wore it today and I have to say, I'm impressed. So now, I'm going back online and buying like 3 more colors.

I just found out they now have cream eyeliner....I can't wait to use it. I'll let you know what I think when I buy it. I just received my product today and I'm already placing another order. They're having a sale right now....the buy one get one half off! Hurry, sale ends Oct. 4th. Happy shopping!

Movies In The Park

Ever since I watched Jennifer Lopez in the Wedding Planner in the scene where they're watching a movie in the park, I've always wanted to do that. Well fortunately enough, I found two places (so far) that shows movies in the park. Kiwanis Park in Tempe and the Biltmore Fashion Park. Kiwanis is aimed for family night only showing G rated movies. Whereas the Biltmore is catered to the grown-ups. Check out the movies they'll be playing below.

New Fav Eyeliner

I was strolling the isle of Target when I spotted some eyeliner from Maybelline; I thought it's only $7, why not?! I used it this whole week and I am absolutely in LOVE! Love it more than the MAC Fluidline.

The gel formula is richly pigmented and hold more color than the traditional liquid liner. It glides on beautifully, unlike the pencil counterpart that I swear pulls the crap out of my eyelid! The brush (which is included) is thin tipped but gathers generous amounts of gel liner. Available in four shades: Blackest Black, Brown Charcoal, and Eggplant.

Watch & Learn!

This is so inspirational. An 11 year old boy, Tyler Wilson, got bullied for being a cheerleader, but won't back down. Stand your ground little man...you have people rooting for you.
