NYC haul

I had an amazing time in New York! I only went for the day but found things I have been looking for. I also got to listen to a concert in Central Park but I'll talk about that at the end.
 
 
 First off is my cross bracelet. I have been looking for one of these for a while now, especially because I've seen a few girls on YouTube have one. I didn't want to order it online just because of shipping and such so I was so happy to find this at the local jewelry store just outside of Times Square.
 
 

 Next is my "Matt" bracelet. It's so cheesy but I wanted to make one. I wish the strap was a little thicker but I also like how it's not in your face noticeable either.
 
 
Next are these phone charms made of beads. The first is a turtle and the other is a little dog. I'm not sure if I'm going to use these yet because I don't want them to break.
 

This is from a guy off the streets, I think he was using spray paint and other tools to create this but I've never bought art off someone in New York before and really liked this so I figured why not!
 

Well my main reason for being excited about NY shopping was for make up. While in Macy's I was sucked into getting a mini make over with these products by Sue Devitt. These products are suppose to be a lot healthier for your skin and while it covers up and such, it also helps treat blemishes. Long story short, I bought these two products; concealer stick and liquid foundation. Because they're really expensive I think I'm only going to use them for really special occasions.
 


Lastly is my purse from Forever 21. I've really been trying to find a new, medium sized purse to use because the everyday, black one I have now is kind of breaking. Once I saw this at the store, I just had to have it.
 
 
 
I had a really fun time in NYC. The bus ride there and back was terrible however just because I guess there was construction so the roads were terrible. But the weather was amazing and I was able to do so much! And like I said, I saw a concert, well sort of. It was Steve Angelo's "Size Matters" concert in Central Park. We didn't have tickets so we stood behind the stands and were able to listen to the concert for about an hour. It was pretty cool

OMG...more EOS!!

Just when I thought my search was over, this shows up!! Huge thanks to Macbarbie07 on YouTube, because of her August favorites she featured this limited edition pack and I literally ran out the door to go find this. I went to two Targets and thankfully didn't have to go to my third. I picked up two packs of these, one to use and one to...well save.

Haul; make up and nail polish!!

Yay, nail polish!! Okay, first off we have an O.P.I polish, I believe from the Nicki Minaj collection? in "Save Me" (the colorful glitter pieces), then we have Maybelline's "Blue Blowout" and last is Revlon's "Blue Slate"


Some summer favorites which I was thinking about all summer and finally decided to get them (yes, while summer is coming to an end). China Glaze's "Flip Flop Fantasy" and "For Audrey." They are sooo gorgeous!

Now from China Glaze's Bohemian collection, now I'm not sure why some had the black tops and others had the silver, oh well...from left to right; "Swanky Silk," "Rare and Radiant," "Deviantly Daring," "No Plain Jane," and "Want my Bawdy." These are SOOO pretty. "No Plain Jane" was the first one of these that I bought and I recieved so many compliments on it. They are base colors of blue, purple, etc with iridescent colors when in the light. They are simply amazing. I am just missing one more from this collection.

These I just found at the dollar store. They are little vials with tiny beads in them, they are suppose to resemble the "caviar" effect that Sephora sells. I figured this pack was only a dollar so I would try it out...seeing as how the one at Sephora is $25 I believe?

Next is my Urban Decay setting spray. Absolutely love this more than the E.L.F one. Though it's a little on the pricey side, I think this was almost $30.

These I just bought today, they are the new NYX Aqua Luxe water proof eyeliners. Loveeee. I bought them in the three colors I felt I would wear the most, Purple, Platinum and Pink. Super pretty!


This brush kit is something I found at Walmart. They are the London SOHO brushes, in the travel size. This pack came with a cute carrying case, blush brush, foundation brush, eyeshadow brush, concealer brush and an angled eyeliner brush. It was $10 I believe and I really like the pink and black.

Last but not least. E.L.F palettes! These were super cute and $6 at Target, from their Python edition.

These are the "cool" colors, perfect for smokey eye looks.

And these are the "warm" colors. As you can tell there are a LOT of neutral colors, very pretty and I love the packaging.



Well that is all. I've been really good about not buying too much in the last month or so. I just helped my bf buy a PS3 so that's where most of my money has gone. Next up is a New York trip that I am super excited about! Hopefully I can pick some stuff up from Inglot and other amazing stores around there. Thanks for reading and the support! xoxo
