Sephora Lust List

Hello fashionistas!

I hope all of you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas and if you do not celebrate Christmas, then I hope it was still a fabulous day! I've been browsing the Sephora website and have come across a few things that I would not mind purchasing for myself. I wanted to share them with you all! 

Light of Day makeup set by Stila is a great set that comes with an eyeshadow palette, eye liner, mascara, illuminated baked setting powder, and an all over liquid shimmer illuminator. This set is priced at $45, but is on sale for $36 until January 1st.  

The bareMinerals Get Started kit has been a set that I have been eyeing for over a year. It comes with a plethora of products, primers, and brushes. I would not mind procuring this for myself. This set is priced at $68. 

The bareMinerals Beauty in Bloom set is a colorful set with pretty pinks for spring. These colors will be perfect and dainty for the warm spring months. The set is priced at a very affordable $36 and I can definitely see myself using this a lot. 

 

Acqua di Gioia by Giorgio Armani is a perfume I have been lusting after for a few months. A 1 oz bottle is priced at $43. This is the real reason I've been wary of buying it. I love perfume, but have a hard time purchasing it for myself! 

Korres lip butter in Quince. These lip butters are one of my favorite products because they pigmented and very hydrating! I love this shade and it is only $12. 

Have you guys been stalking the Sephora website checking out the deals they are offering? Are we lusting after the same products?

Loads of love!

Back to School Shopping

Hello fashionistas!

Last week I tweeted that I had a very successful day of shopping and I thought that I would share what I purchased with you all! 

I bought these from Forever 21. The top was on sale for only $12. I love the gem peter pan color! All of my blazers/jackets are way too big, so I bought one to layer over sleeveless tops/dresses. Oh and anything else I want to layer it with (;

I bought this cardigan at the Loft. The Loft is my favorite store ever. I love this coral-pink color and the best part was that it was on major sale for $12. 

These items are from H&M. I couldn't pass up on a cute abstract polka dot dress. The olive green and lace top compimented my skin tone well, so I had to buy it! I picked up another black tee shirt (you can't tell from the picture, but there is a little square pocket on it).

I actually bought this top in hot pink, but the website did not have it! I would have photographed the top, but it is very wrinkly from being in the bag.

I bought these jeans from Old Navy for a mere $19! They are the "Sweetheart" jeans and they are fuller in the thighs and smaller in the waist. They were a perfect fit!

The flats to the left are from Target (clearance section, baby) and the flats on the left are Rock & Republic for Kohl's. These were also on sale. 

I redeemed my fragrance sampler deal for Warm Cotton by Clean. I love this scent; it is super crisp and refreshing. I decided that I should stop borrowing my mom's BareMinerals Faux Tan and buy my own! This bronzer gives the most natural finish I have ever found! I highly recommend it. 

Have you guys bought any new clothes or beauty products lately? 

I am not ready for school to start on Monday. Can it just be summer forever?

Alright, I have to go work on my current mission.. AKA finish my last essay for school.

Beauty Buys

Hello fashionistas!

I'm writing a quick post before I start studying for my second AICE psych exam (just a test for college credit, you know, no big deal... #sarcasm). Sorry for being a flighty blogger again; the last push for exams and prepping is CRAZY. I feel like I come home, go to the gym, shower, and study/do homework every single night. Probably because that is what I've been doing. 

I went to Sephora last weekend and I picked up a few new things.

I got these hair ties because they are super stretchy elastic bands that don't crease your hair or break it!  With all the time I've been spending at the gym with my hair in a ponytail I needed these! You get eight of them for $8.50. Also they come with glittery ones... Need I say more? 

My mom bought me this St. Tropez self tanner and the accompanying mitt. I'm really excited to use this because I have heard the rave reviews about it! I'm going to try it tonight. Will report back on how I feel about it. 

My aunt surprised me by buying all of this Jonathan Dirt products. They smell like almonds and basically leave me sniffing my hair all day long (obviously on the sly.. I don't want to look weird). 

The Dirt Shine and Define Creme works great after curling hair. 

I like the Dry Dirt Texturizing Spray because it helps give my hair a nice volume with a good hold that lasts all day. I have yet to try the other two products, but look forward to using them. 

Hope you all are doing fabulously! 

I'm off to bed to get some rest before my big exam tomorrow; my friend came over and we studied for a few hours, so all I need now is sleep!

Neutrals

Hello fashionistas!

I have been busy with AICE exams and school in general. I wanted to share an outfit that I wore a week and half ago when it was raining like crazy cats and dogs for 4 days. 

Top: Target Jeans: Kohl's Boots: Kohl's Necklace: Etsy 

The main reason for the boots ensemble was because I wanted to keep my feet dry. 

I wanted to keep the clothes very neutral, so I paired a black tee with my warm brown boots. I add a pop with my turquoise statement necklace. 

With the rain pouring down outside I did not want to have anything fancy done with my hair, so I just clipped some of it back. I used a lot of mascara and a berry lip. Very simple! 

This weekend my mom and I made a Sephora run. I got one of OCC's lip tars in Pretty Boy and a 100 point perk for a deluxe sample of Urban Decay's Primer Potion. 

Today is going to be a busy day; school, homework, guitar concert, so much stuff and not enough time. I have to take a day off from the gym today because I am so sore! 

Hope your Monday is good!

Sephora Splurges!

Hello fashionistas!

Today the family and I went and ran some errands/did some shopping. First we stopped off at AT&T to see about upgrading our phones because we've been up for an upgrade since April and my phone is on the verge of breaking. The hinges are super loose. Anyways, somehow we convinced my dad to get us Iphones, so my mom, sister, and I are now the proud owners of Iphones! #Finally! Well, we will be when they come in the mail. Thanks, Daddy, I'm so excited! 

After that my mom and I went over to Sephora and I *may* have splurged on some fabulous lipsticks. 

I had a spend $50 get $15 off coupon for being a Beauty Insider at Sephora, so I decided to go ahead an splurge on some products. 

 Left is Bite's Colour + shine to Go and on the right is Hourglass' Femme Rouge Velvet Creme lipstick in the shade 'Nocturnal'

The packaging is so luxurious! 

It started off as a harmless "oh I'll just try this on because I have no lipstick on" and quickly turned into a love affair. I tried to talk myself out of spending the $30 on it, but I just couldn't. My mom even told me to just splurge on it. It is the creamiest lipstick I have ever had on my lips. It is a beautiful vampy purple-pink. A perfect color for the holiday season.

Here's the Bite trio. The top swatch is lipgloss in 'Sante'. The second one is a lipstick in 'Pepper' and then the last one is another lipstick in 'Fig'. Everything is in deluxe sample size and this was $15. I'm really glad I got this because I have heard good things about this brand. 

Haul Time

Hello fashionistas!

Sorry for being a wee bit missing this week. My life has been super hectic and stressful this week. I would have posted on Friday, when things finally slowed down, but I went out with my boyfriend to see The Fray play. The concert was really good, sadly didn't snap any pictures of the concert/what I wore. 

Any-who, I did a little shopping today and thought I'd whip out a quick post to share it with you guys!

My mom had to run into Petco and Ross was next door, so I ran in there for a few minutes. 

Walked away with this super cute Tommy Hilfiger bag and a few other items. Instead of ordering any of the Aldo bags I posted about I decided to get this. It's perfect for me and for summer! I love the pink and white mixed with a splash of red and the warm brown handles/piping are great. 

I needed another pair of black wedges because my Aerosoles were getting worn like nobody's business! 

So, I picked these up from Ross. Comfortable and a nice height. What's not to love? 

Randomly tried on this dress and decided that I had to have it! It hits right at my knees and ties in the back. 

I like that the back has a sassy little cut out. Will definitely be getting a lot of wear out of this during the summer.This was also purchased at Ross. 

Next weekend I'm going to the wedding that I've been talking about for ages and I needed new black pumps to go with my dress. I can't wait to take outfit pictures that night to share with you all. These are from Kohl's. 

My all time favorite concealer was out, so I obviously had to repurchase! I actually had my dad do it for me because he was out at a conference all week in Las Vegas and was staying in the Venetian hotel and they have a Sephora about 2.5 seconds away, so I requested that he pick me up another concealer instead of buying me a souvenir. He said he showed the text to one of the assistants at the store and that they "went right to it" and he said he was "very impressed." Oh dad. I also requested a Las Vegas pen, but he forgot about that. 

I'm super exhausted, so I'm off to go curl up into my bed. 

I'm beaching it with the boyfriend tomorrow, can't wait! 

Loads of love!

Small Sephora Haul!

Hello fashionistas! 

I did a little Sephora hauling tonight and wanted to share it with you all. 

While I was shopping about I was trying to decide whether I was going to purchase the Too Faced Summer Eye palette or Nars' Orgasm Illuminator. The saleswoman made my life easier and gave me a sample of the illuminator and told me that they weren't going to receive anymore of the palettes. I instantly knew that I had to buy the palette right then and there. Seriously, I've been dying for them to get this bad boy in stores! 

#Makeupaddict. 

Anyways, along with the palette I picked up one of Sephora's nano lip liner pencils in #17 Funky Fuschia. 

How gorgeous? SO GORGEOUS. Can't wait to play around with this. Definitely be expecting a review sometime this week. Sorry, I know you guys are probably annoyed with my lack of swatches, but I didn't want to write up a mini review before I get to experiment. 

Funky Fuschia is a really bright pink liner. I will probably use this all over my lips instead of just lining them. If I added a clear gloss on top it would be a nice pop of pink. For $5 you really can't go wrong with these. 

Have a great weekend!

Loads of love!

Small Haul- Sephora and Belk

Hello fashionistas!

Last weekend I made an order to Sephora and it came in the mail on Friday! 

I'd been wanting Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue perfume for awhile now. I didn't want to buy the perfume because the 1.7oz was $64, but when I was perusing online I saw that they had just come out with a gift set of Light Blue! Which I thought was strange because normally gift sets come out at Christmas, but whatever, I was very excited! 

For the arrival of 2012 Sephora was letting you pick 2 deluxe samples and I picked the Fan De Fendi perfume and the BareMinerals mineral veil. I also got to pick 3 regular samples too. It was a very perfume-y order. 

Here's the cute little tote bag that it came in. 

For $68 I got a .25oz on the go spray bottle, 1.7oz lotion, and a 1.6oz bottle of the perfume.

I love the smell, so crisp and fresh. 

Yesterday my aunt, sister, and I went to the mall and we popped into Sephora. 

This Oscar Blandi Hair Lift serum thickens and volumizes your hair. I don't really need my hair to be any thicker, but I love volumizing products. I would not pay the original price of $19, but it was on sale for $6. 

You all should head down to Sephora because the Oscar Blandi stuff was on major sale. At least it was at mine. 

I think I'm going to review this later. 

We headed into Belk and I found this tank-top and fell in love. It's such a pretty color and it is so soft. It was originally $48 and I got it for $15. 

Detail shot.

Today I'm just having a chill day. Probably going to go paint my nails (they need to be done). 

I'm currently watching The Switch with my mom. 

Hope you all have a great day!

Haul- MAC, Sephora, Bath and Body Works, and Gap

Hello fashionistas!

Last night the family and I went to the mall. I had to exchange my gap jim jam (pajama) pants for a different size. Turns out they were almost completely out of all pajamas, so I had to get a different pair. Still, very cute!

As usual I walked away from the mall with more things than I planned on buying. 

The loot! 

MAC lipstick in the shade 'Speed Dial', it's a cremesheen. A wallflower in the scent 'Salty Caramel' from Bath and Body Works. While there I also purchased a 'pocket bac' in the scent 'Caribbean Escape' and a CO. Bigelow lipgloss in the flavor 'Spiced Vanilla Chai'. Then I wandered down to Sephora and picked up this delicious Body Shop body butter cream in 'Cocount'. 

Everything I bought smells divine. I'm in absolute love with the lipgloss. It's like Starbucks on my lips. What's not to love?

Here's a swatch of Speed Dial. I like that it has more of a glossy feel to it than most lipsticks. Definitely a good addition to my ever growing collection. 

These were the jim jam pants from Gap that I purchased. An off white with silver, glitter stripes running through them. 

Tomorrow my friends, my mom's friends, and my sister's friends are coming over for a little Christmas present exchange party. I came up with the idea that it should be a pajama party, so I'm wearing these. Can't wait to see my girls! 

Have a great day!

Sweet Sixteen Gifts

Hello fashionistas!

I thought I'd share all of my birthday gifts with you all. 

I want to say thank you to everyone for everything. I love my friends and family so much!

TIFFANY'S NECKLACE!!! 

My parents, Nana, aunts, and uncle all went in on this for me! I was so so so excited when I opened the box and saw that perfect blue box just sitting there. I've been wearing it nonstop since I got it. If you'll remember a few months ago I wrote a post on here about how I wanted one, well now I have one

This bag is by Ivanka Trump and I had been lusting after it for a few weeks and when I saw that Lily and two of my other friends got it for me I was incredibly happy and excited! 

This bag is from another one of my friends. I absolutely LOVE this bag! It's such a statement color, like "BAM, I HAVE ARRIVED!" 

Not only do I love this box, but I also love what's inside! My aunt, uncle, and cousin got me this plush, purple robe and a trio of Secret Wonderland Bath and Body Works products. The robe is so warm and fluffy.

My mom's good friend (and my honorary aunt) got me all of these movies. A movie for each year (16) and each movie is starting from 1995-2011. I'm going to be watching a lot of movies over winter break!

My great aunt got me this picture frame. I can't wait to hang it up over my dresser! 

One of my friends bought me this, I wore it today. Too cute! 

Another great aunt got me this necklace. I love the beautiful bronze colors swirling about this piece. It's such a statement necklace, I'm still trying to figure out what to pair with it! 

My honorary Nanny bought me this bracelet. I love how girly it is, very me!

This wasn't actually a gift, I bought these while I was out shopping; I just thought I'd include them.

My mom always buys my sister and I ornaments every year. She says she does it so that when we move out we'll have ornaments for our own trees. 

My mom's best friend bought me these nail polishes. I currently am wearing "Wocka Flocka." It's the last one on the right.

Melissa bought me this candle because we both love candles! She also got me this delicious Kenyan coffee from the farmer's market and a Forever 21 giftcard. We're shopping buddies! 

My pottery teacher got me this because I had been craving a carmel apple ever since she'd talked about making them. I was so touched when I walked in and she had this for me, she also put hot pink sprinkles on it! She wasn't able to make my party because of a conflicting engagement. 

My former biology teacher came to my party and she got me this Sephora mirror and a gift card. 

She knows me so well! 

My mom put together a box of pedicure goodies. I think she was tired of me taking her stuff!

Mom also bought me these adorable flats. 

Sephora's beauty insider birthday present. 

My sister got me all of this because I love warm vanilla sugar and Lindor chocolate! 

Again, thank you all so much; I love you all! 

I'm off to go get ready for tomorrow. I have a chemistry test and an english test/essay tomorrow. It's going to be a busy, long week before winter break.
