Shopping= :)

So I stopped by Sephora and Ulta today. Obviously failed at not buying anything until my birthday but it's alright, this was much needed.

First off, I picked up my birthday gift from Sephora, Fresh's lip product/samples. These are super cute for my purse and smell good, kinda like lemons?

Of course, I caved and picked up the highly raved about lotion. Soap and Glory's Hand food hand cream. $10

Randomly picked up a mini Tocca perfume, $15.

This is a Toki Doki make up bag, super cute. I needed a bigger make up bag and I'm hoping this is the perfect size. On sale for $10.50.
And now Ulta.
Picked up another NYX mega shine lip gloss in French Kiss. $5.50

Zoya nail polish remover in the travel/small size, $4.50.

Korres lip butter in Guava, $12. I've been looking at this product for a while and finally decided to get one. I didn't really feel like getting a tinted one so I picked up Guava.

Randomly picked this up too. Layla's Hologram nail polish, $15.50. Totally didn't know the price but Layla products are usually around this price. I probably wouldn't have picked it up if I had seen the price but what can I say, I'm a sucker for nail polishes.

Eye make up


This is probably my all time favorite make up look. I love purple eyeshadow and how well it goes with brown eyes. Both purple shadows are from Urban Decay and I just lined my outer lower lash line with the purple shadow and took a NYX silver eyeliner to do my inner lash line.

Not really a haul...kind of an update?

So, I literally just got this, this morning from my dad. It was on sale for a little less than $4 and well, damn. I'm glad he found it because I was actually looking at this or the Clarisonic Mia (from Sephora, which is $120) for a little while now. And yeah for $4 I wouldn't mind trying this out. I'll have a review after using this a few times.

I also picked up two more lip products, OF COURSE! These are both from E.L.F, one is a lip stain the other is the "Hypershine lipgloss." Both were a dollar each.


Now for some updated stuff, since I was going through my blog with a friend and telling him some of these things are not the same and my last updated post, I had to do another update. Sooo...here it is.


I now have a blush and bronzer drawer.

This is my back ups/extras container. I love it, so sad. It makes me smile when I look through this stuff. Obsessed much?!

Overview. Consists of mascara samples, primers, E.O.S back ups (both lotion and lip balm), hand sanitizers, more lip products, etc.

High end mascaras. DiorShow and Tarte.

Back up Urban Decay primer.

And some E.L.F back ups. Tinted moisturizer and eyeliner pens.


I guess this is my most updated collection but as you all know I will post products as I get them. Only two more weeks until my birthday and I am so excited!! Thank you guys for the support and again I'm sorry for not posting in a while.

Ahhh...it's been a while!

This weeks nail design. Pink base, white tips and a little flower decoration (glued on, not drawn). I haven't done French tips in a while so I decided to go back to this design for this week.

While I was in Blacksburg this past weekend I went and spent money on some more randoms. Like this Trident Layers in Berry-Tangerine.

I also bought a mustache keychain.

And a Best Friends keychain. My girl, Harman has the other half which is a cute little duck.



I apologize for being M.I.A for a little while. The last couple weeks snuck up on me so aside from working all weekend I've been trying to cram in school work that should have been done weeks ago. Plus I've been hanging out with some co-workers/friends a lot the last couple weeks.
This past weekend I was also down in Blacksburg to visit some friends. I spent way too much on food and little random things and also got my right ear pierced again. That makes eight total piercings so far!

Reviews (February and March)

Victoria's Secret "Gorgeous" body mist. I think this is from their permanent line, I only buy their products if I have a gift card or they have a big sale. I love this body spray, it smells really good and I alway get compliments on it.

Hello Kitty's rollerball perfume. Love this as well and also get compliments on it. I use it almost every day...as you can tell since I'm half way done with it. Umm $22 from Sephora I believe.

E.L.F's setting spray, I'm not sure if I posted about this yet or not but I really love this product. My make up stays on a lot longer, especially on hot days. $3 from Target or E.L.F's website.

Revlon's Photoready liquid foundation. So I actually bought this product a while ago but barely used it...until now! I apply this one with a brush (now, before I tried a sponge applicator or just my fingers) and it really does have amazing coverage. I think this one was around $10-12 but I had a coupon.

E.L.F's tinted moisturizure, this one is in "Beige" but they have like five or six shades (I think). I love using this after I apply my foundation just to give my face a little extra moisture and it kind of doubles as a bronzer because I've been asked if I go tanning.

Eyeliners: E.L.F's eyeliner pen, I really love this, even though the applicator is a little harsh, it really goes on nicely, it's not as running as a liquid eyeliner and it's just as creamy as a gel liner.
And NYC's pencil, nothing special about this. I just use this for my water line and it stayed on longer than the crayon liner.

Benefits "They're real" I feel like I've said something about this one before too. Anyway, this is a really nice mascara, pretty much does what it says; volumizes and lengthens. $22 from Sephora or Ulta.
And lastly, still loving my Smith's Strawberry lip balm. Very moisturizing.

Easter nail design!

So because I have been out and about a lot this past week, I haven't been able to really do an Easter nail design. Luckily, this weeks nail color was a mint green (China Glazes "Re-fresh mint") so it doubles as a Spring color. So this morning, before my shift at work tonight I just added this cute little bunny to both of my ring fingers! I'm hoping to be able to re-do my nails tonight after work but we'll see since I get off late.
Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Easter!!

Sweet Frog!

So I tried Sweet Frog today and it was really good! I played it safe and just got a chocolate/vanilla mix; topped it off with some oreo crumbles, strawberries and banana. I like this place better than Pinkberry and it looks really cool. You go in and all the different frozen yogurt options are on the wall, you fill up your own cup, put your toppings in there and they weigh it...so you have to be careful! This is definitely a place I'd go back to.
