Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

2013-01-29T12:57:00.002-08:00

I have been enjoying the Naked Basics a lot. I am very much a neutrals girl and this makes a great addition to my collection. This palette retails for $27, and can be purchased on the Urban Decay website, at Sephora, or Ulta. The palette includes 6 full size shadows. 1 shimmer and the other 5 are matte shadows. I love how compact the palette is because you can throw it in your purse and take day looks to night. I would recommend this palette to anyone who is looking to add more neutral colors to their collection.

My Recent Beauty Finds

2013-01-10T20:38:00.005-08:00

I love the New Year because companies always release a lot of new products, but with LA IMATS around the corner I am trying to not purchase anything. I emphasis TRYING because there are so many goodies it's so hard to resist! Here are some of the new drugstore products I have bought.

These are two lipsticks from the new Wet N Wild Fergie Collection. The colors are Fergie Daily & Bebot Love. These lipsticks are really creamy and the color payoff is amazing. I found these at Walgreens for $3.99 each.

I am really liking this Wet N Wild Coverall powder in the shade Medium. It is really light and does a good job of mattifying my combination oily skin. Walgreens $3.49

These are the L'oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lacquer Lipglosses. These are said to be YSL dupes. I have tried these a few times and I am overall liking these. I bought mine at Target and Rite Aid for $7.99 and $9.99. I love the packaging on these, so cute!

I bought this set after hearing everyone raving about these brushes. I have already tried the expert face brush and I do think that it is amazing. They are so soft and I am excited to see how they work out for me. I got this set at Ulta for $17.99.

This Sonia Kashuk Flat- Top Sculpting Brush is suppose to be a dupe for the MAC 163. It is really soft and I bought it at Target for $12.99.

Lastly I was in the market for a new face cleanser so I bought this one to see how I like it.

Those have been my recent beauty buys. Have you bought any new products lately?

Spring Trends (color pants + arm candy)

2012-04-11T11:59:00.000-07:00

This Spring I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone by trying new trends. I have never had the confidence to wear color denim but taking baby steps I am finally comfortable. I started trying out the trend by using royal blue pants, which to me are very close to jeans. So then I went to light blue & finally I tried mint pants. I am loving the trend! I also have a pair of peach pants I will be wearing very soon! So if you are like me and aren't very comfortable with colored pants, start small and hopefully you will also end up liking the current trend!

Another Spring trend is Arm Candy/ stacking bracelets. I love this trend right now as well.

My arm candy includes the Golden goose & silver swan bracelets from Jewelmint. The watch is from the brand Breda from Amazon.

What Spring trends are you loving?

Beauty Obsessions

2012-02-19T17:47:00.000-08:00

I have posted before on my favorite Wet N Wild megalast nail polishes so I picked up a few more. They have great colors for the spring and summer! I love the formulation on these and the lasting power is better than my OPI & Chine Glaze nail polishes.

I bought three at Walgreens for the buy 2 get one free deal. I believe that it is still going on. At CVS they have the rest of the collection if you are looking for the fun & bright colors. These are only $1.99 & I think they are worth every penny!

I also picked up two more of the color tattoos. They were BOGO 50% off at Rite Aid.

I picked up Bold Gold & Tough as Taupe. These will be featured in some coming up tutorials as soon as I get my Mac book. :)

I Love Shoes

2012-02-19T17:24:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I'm sorry for my neglecting my blog. I have been trying to find a balance between school, my YouTube channel and my blog. I'm back & ready to blog! :) I wanted to share some of my recent purchases lately. I believe a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes. On my most recent trips to Ross I found two pairs of shoes that I LOVE. My favorite find is the pair of Sam Edelman shoes! Yes ladies SAM EDELMAN!

The Best part was the price of $49.99 because these wedges retail for $150. Ross also had a pair of of Sam Edelman flats that I liked but there was only one shoe in my size. :( I will have to check another store, those were only $34.99. They had a few other pairs of Sam Edelman shoes, some leopard, some gray.

The other pair of shoes I got were these BCBG shoes that were on clearance for only $17.99. Originally 35.99.

These shoes remind me of the Steve Madden shoes that are very popular right now, but because of the chunky heel they will be more comfortable. I can't believe they were so cheap!

So if you're interested is either of these pairs of shoes check your local Ross soon!

Maybelline 24 hour Color Tattoo

2012-01-13T22:48:00.000-08:00

I am currently loving these color tattoos by Maybelline. These are very comparable to the MAC paint pots however I will say that I like these better. I used mine with no primer and then stayed put with no creasing until I removed my make up. The colors I have are Painted Purple, Edgy Emerald, & Pomegranate Punk. These retail for $5.99- 8 dollars depending where you purchase them.

I think that the color pay off is amazing!

After trying these out I am going to purchase a few more colors, especially when the BOGO sales come around. I recommend these to everyone! What are your thoughts on these? Have you tried any of these 24 Hour Color Tattoo?

Target skirts = Love

2012-01-07T23:13:00.000-08:00

The other day I went to Target and saw that they had a lot of new clothing items. I tried on some pieces I fell in love with. But I only left with one skirt.

I ended up picking the black skirt because I figured it is very versatile. However once I got home I felt a sense of regret for not getting any of the other colors. This skirt was only 17.99, I think I will be heading back to Target tomorrow to pick up some of the other colors in this style. (I picked mine up in size small because they run big) The skirts also have pockets! I love pockets! Yay

Target also had hi-low skirts which are very trendy right now although they had different colors and patterns I might just pick up the black one.

The hi-low skirts are only &14.99! I think its a steal! I love Target, I always find cute stuff!
Have you been to Target lately? If so what did you pick up?
