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.

May Favorites!

Hello fashionistas!

Sorry my May favorites is so late.... Better late than never!

 ♥Jergens Natural Glow in light

♥Urban Decay Naked palette

♥ELF professional "C" eyeshadow brush

♥Stila 30 brush 

♥Benefit Boi-ing and Eyebright concealer duo

♥MAC Melon pigment

♥Bath and Body Works' Eau Du Toilette in Sweet Pea 

♥Maybelline Colossal mascara

♥Carmex chapstick in Strawberry

♥Presitge bronzer (no specific name)

Left to right:

Prestige bronzer, UD Naked, UD Half Baked, MAC Melon, Benefit conceal/eyebright *unblended*

♥I bought the Jergens lotion towards the end of April and I used it almost all of May (until I started hitting the pool regularly). I had a lot of comments on my 'tan'.... Little did they know it was a fake, hehe! This was a great buy, it really did gradually build. It looked very real. 

♥I know you all are probably sick and tired of seeing the Naked palette in everyone's favorites, but I just can't help my love for this palette! I got really into using Naked and Half Baked this month. I have a look to go up using Naked and Buck, I'll probably put it up tomorrow or Tuesday. 

 ♥ELF's "C" brush is great to pat shadow on the lid. At $3 this brush is a great buy.

♥Stila's #30 brush is double ended. I can dust shadow across my lid and then use the tapered end to add depth in the crease. I use the tapered end almost everyday. 

♥I picked up the Benefit duo a month and half ago. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but now I love it! I find the concealer to be very creamy, but the eyebright is a little bit difficult to blend. You can buy this duo at Ulta, by the checkout.

♥MAC's Melon pigment was a GREAT buy! I would like to thank my best friend Mel for convincing me that I would use it and it was worth the money! I wore it for 2 weeks straight in the beginning of May, and I never do that! 

♥Sweet Pea eau du toilette is very light and yummy! This is actually my sister's, she doesn't know how much I've been wearing it this month...

♥Maybelline's Colossal mascara I love because of the giant brush. I'm in need of a new mascara, if you have any recommendations tell me below!

♥Carmex is such an awesome product! I put it on right before I go to bed every night, I wake up in the morning with it on lips! It's so long lasting. Everyone should have Carmex in their life.

♥Prestige bronzer is a great, shimmery bronzer. I love to use it on my cheeks to warm up my face. It gives me that summer glow! 

I hope you enjoyed my late May favorites! What were you loving last month? Did we have anything in common? 

Lots of love!

December Favorites

Hey fashionistas!

I decided that it was about time to do my December favorites, kind of sad this is my last favorites of 2010.

Anyways, on to my favorites. Not too many things this month, kind of stuck with the same stuff. When I was sick I didn't wear any makeup so, not a whole lot of variety.

L-R

Essence blush in 01 'Almost Famous' ♥

Wet n' Wild 'Vanity' palette ♥

Urban Decay 'Baked' pigment ♥

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil 'Yogurt' ♥

Maybelline Dream Mouse Concealer 'Ivory' ♥

The blush is a peachy pink with subtle shimmer, it's quite a nice flush of color for the cheeks.

Ever since I bought the Wet n' Wild Vanity palette in the beginning of December I've been using it nonstop! The pigmentation is amazing, and all the colors work really well together. My favorites are the 2 top ones on the left side and the bottom one of the right side.

The Urban Decay pigment is a nice bit of shimmer for the eyes. My only complaint is that it is kind of messy.

The NYX pencil is not only a great base but, I also love putting it in the inner corner of my eye for an eye brightener.

I didn't love the concealer at first, but now I really like it. It works quite well to cover blemishes and under eye circles.

Secret Scent Expressions deodorant 'Cocoa Butter Kiss' ♥

Triple Body Cream 'Japanese Cherry Blossom♥

I know what you're thinking "deodorant?" but, yes deodorant! I had started using Secret with Olay in it a couple of months ago but when I went to repurchase it it was gone! They stopped selling it, major bummer. It lasted all day, so I switched to just original scent and I didn't love it but the other day I was out and my mom picked this up and I love it! It lasts literally all day and smells really good! Seriously if you are in need of a new deodorant you should pick this up.

The triple body creams are perfect for the winter months when your skin tends to get dry. I picked this up mid-December and I've been using this one more than the other scents. Every time I put this on my mom goes "you smell really good. What are you wearing?" and it has been this every time!

Well that's all for my favorites for December.

Thanks for following and commenting!

Once I get to 200 followers I'm going to hold another giveaway.

Oh and this is a scheduled post, so when you read this I'll be studying for my biology test!

A Holiday Haul

Hey fashionistas!

Sorry for not posting over the weekend, it was a full weekend!

Yesterday my dad and I went to the Bath and Body Works Outlet store and I picked up a few things for myself, sister, and my mom.

Here's what I got.

This is for my sister and I. We needed more lotion, so I picked out the triple body cream in (L-R)

Japanese Cherry Blossom, Black Raspberry Vanilla, and Twilight Woods.

Twilight smells amazing, and Black Raspberry Vanilla smells really good too!

These are for me(:

Co. Bigelow Pink Shimmer and from the Bath and Body Works summer collection the Lemon gloss.

My mom is literally obsessed with the Vanilla Bean Noel scent and I asked the lady that worked there if they happened to have any of the lotions, sprays, etc. and she said no. Luckily somebody who was just shopping there heard and showed my dad and I this candle! So thank you kind person if you are reading this! (:

My mom is also obsessed with the Lemon scent, so I picked up a lemon lotion and a lemon triple body cream. I know you're thinking lemon, it's winter not summer and even though it's not summer I know my mom will love it!

My mom had asked if we could pick up a couple of stocking stuffers for my sister while we were there so we did. We got a full size Country Apple lotion and a travel Sea Island Cotton lotion.

The day before my dad and I had gone to this sports store called Academy and I picked up these fuzzy slippers/moccasins. They were only 5 bucks! I have them on right now(:

I might not do a lot of posting this week because I'm going to be out at my grandparents from Wednesday to Friday night. I'll try to do a couple of posts though.

November Favorites

Hey dolls, I know this is so cliche but.. November went by so fast!

Here's what I've been loving for the past month.

L-R

ELF Studio Bronzer in Warm Bronzer♥

ELF Studio Blush in Pink Passion♥

ELF Contouring and Blush duo (I've only been using the bronzer)♥

ELF Cream Liner in Black♥

ELF Studio blush brush♥

CO. Bigelow Cinnamint Mentha Lipshine♥

Sleek Original Palette (I've been using the 2nd to last color in the top row for a pop of color on my bottom lashes)♥

Wet n' Wild Eyeshadow Trio in Sweet as Candy (The first two colors, not so much the bottom)♥

LA Colors Palette in Traditional♥

I've been using the ELF Studio Bronzer to warm up my face everyday.

I've used the Pink Passion blush a lot this month, towards the end of the month I started using some other blushes but this was used most of the month.

I haven't used the blush part of the contouring and blush duo but, I have used the contouring side EVERYDAY.

I just started using the ELF cream liner and it's quite comparable to Stila's smudge pots. One of these days I'll get around to doing a comparison.

The ELF blush brush is amazing. You need it in your life.

I love the CO. Bigelow gloss, it's super glossy and makes my lips so shiny. People at school are always saying how glossy my lips are.

The only color I've been using from the Sleek palette a lot this month is in the 1st row 2nd to the last. I've been using it on my outer corner on my bottom lashes line. It's a great pop of color.

This month I have used the white shade in the Wet n' Wild trio for a highlight almost everyday. The brown shade works for a great crease color, dark but not too dark.

Did you guys notice how the LA Colors palette made it in my favorites again? Well it did! I've been using more than just the two colors I used last month. I've hit a bit of pan on one of the colors. These are really great quality for how inexpensive they are.

Here's the non-makeup things I used a lot last month.

L-R

Black Amethyst perfume from Bath and Bodyworks♥

Aussie Mega Hairspray♥

Helen of Troy curling iron♥

ELF Smoky Brown nail polish♥

I'm not even going to try to explain the smell of Black Amethyst, I'm horrible at that!

I've been using this hairspray daily, it gives a great hold but my hair isn't crunchy. After curling my hair with the Helen of Troy curling iron I just flip my head upside down and spray the hairspray all over and then flip back up and adjust my hair. It gives me more volume.

I've been using this curling iron a lot! I go to sleep with my hair wet from the shower and in braids and then I take the braids out spray a heat protectant on my hair and use this iron to get the curls I've had for the past couple of outfit of the day posts.

ELF Smoky Brown nail polish has made its way onto my nails multiple times this month. Such a pretty, creamy shade.

That's all for my favorites!

Haul!

Hello fashionistas!
I went to the outlet mall today with my mom and sister. We went into Bath and Bodyworks and New York and Company; two of my favorite stores!

This is what I picked up at Bath and Bodyworks.


At the outlet everything is super cheap so my mom and I go crazy!
Tutti Dolci Mango Sorbetto Creme Body Wash, this was 1.99. It was 90% off, and it smells crazy good!
Coconut Lime Verbena lotion, I love this stuff. I'm not sure how much this was.
Liplicious Tasty Lip Color in 'Cherry Vanilla', this was 1.99 as well.

New York and Company goodies.



My mom and I had loved this at the regular store but, we didn't want to pay 20 bucks for it because we knew it would go on sale soon. We were wandering around the mall and saw that they put a NYC outlet in and we were like "Ohhh yeahh!"
This was $9.99.

I also got a black and a aqua t-shirt for $6 dollars each, my mom and I are like obsessed with V-necks. I didn't take a picture of these because I didn't think you guys would really care about t-shirts.

Finally, my most exciting purchase!

I found a dress for homecoming for........ Only $6 bucks!

Shoulder detail.



Full view.


I had my hair braided so obviously I would wear it on the side without the shoulder detail (or maybe in a high ponytail). What do you guys think, will it be good for homecoming?

All I have to do now is find some perfect black heels. I plan on using the clutch I won in that giveaway. It will be a perfect pop of color.

NOTD

Hello again my lovelies(:

I was going to do my August Faves but then I thought about having to take pictures/swatches and I was like well I'll just do it tomorrow. Lazy, I know!

This is Goldie's Creepy Groovy and it is 2 coats with a base coat. Oh and there isn't a top coat on.

This was available at Bath and Body Works and then they stopped carrying Goldie there. Why, I do not know.





I was pleasantly surprised to find out how fast it's dry time is, very fast!

It is a brownish color with a bit of gold shimmer running through it. Overall I definitely think this will be on my nails during fall. I don't know where you can purchase it now and I don't know how much it was because it was a gift from a friend last year.
