Ulta Haul!

Wanted to save money but Ulta has a great sale on drugstore products right now. It was crowded. 40% off Revlon, NYX and Physicians Formula! (& other sales)

Heard great things about Revlon's Brow Fantasy that has a pencil and brow gel and wanted to try it out (sale 4.49). I currently use Wet and Wild Taupe pencil (60 cents on sale!) and it is a nice color with a gel in it. I got the Revlon in 104 Dark Blonde (dark brows looks weird on me) and excited!

Next for Revlon I've been wanting to try the Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in Lovesick (sale $5.39). It's a dark fuchsia pink and on my skin tone it doesn't look nice unless there's another product on top. There are manufacturers coupons on the stand for $1.00 off! Good deal.

I haven't tried Physicians Formula cosmetics but have heard great things. I got the hyped Eye Booster 2 in 1 lash boosting eyeliner and serum in 7365 Ultra Black (sale- $6.59). Not betting in the longer lashes but hoping this brush tip eye liner will be nice! Packaging is beautiful.

Me and my sister went crazy over NYX. I wanted the soft matte lip creams ($3.29), blushes, lipsticks and more but settled on 2 products as my sister got 2 soft matte lip creams (I'm gonna get some too! They are so nice!). I got the Mega Shine Lip Gloss in 129 Beige which is a hyped pink color which I really like! It's a shade lighter than my natural lip and it has a slanted Dow foot applicator. It smells like cherry flavoring, and is not sticky. I wanted the fuchsia one too!

I also went on a whim and got the NYX HD Studio photogenic powder foundation in 08 Golden Beige (sale - $5.99). I am not sure how I feel about the MUFE one I bought so I wanted to try this. I liked that they had testers and it seems really nice and smooth. I am worried it may look too powdery and cakey on. We will see. Great deal though.

On top of that I used a $3.50 off $10 purchase (although if I did 2 trips I would have saved more =( so boo).

Total with tax was $23.27 so it averaged for 5 products a really great deal. Satisfied!

Speedy B strap for Pochette

Updated pictures! My strap has gotten darker and since there are not a lot of posts on this I decided to take more pictures. =) I also wanted to do a review video about the Speedy B bag of all the great ways it can be worn.
Note: I am almost 5'8" and I have a relatively long torso and it hits me at my hip. It's perfect!

You can definitely wear it on the shorter Speedy B strap as well. It is pretty cute too if you like this length.

Here are some close ups.

Sorry I look like a little kid in my sweater- but its so cute!

Random Pink Cuteness

Got a new waterbottle because my old one is leaking. Even with my rebate I still had to pay $15! (From $25). Why are these so expensive?! I use my waterbottle everyday everywhere so it is an investment :)

Also received these cute piggy socks from my friend who just got back from Beijing. Adorable!

Update!

New sweater! I've been looking for an oversized mint sweater for fall as well as a sweater with a big heart on it. I never thought I would find one that had both! I told myself I would try really hard to refrain from shopping but I ended up in the largest Forever 21 in my area and found the cutest sweater! It was $17.80 so it wasn't bad, I hope it won't shrink up because I like really oversized ones! (I will update with a picture of me wearing it too)

Trying to save money also because I'm going to the Big Bang concert Nov 3rd in LA! (Anyone else?!) I've never experienced LA as an adult so I'm super excited! It's a pricey trip so I'm trying to be good as I want to do some shopping there at stores we don't have here! Any suggestions?!
So far I want to go to:
- Brandy Mellville
- Marc By Marc Jacobs accessory store
- Henri Bendel

...More shopping

Sephora!
Make Up For Ever Duo Mat powder - $34
I really needed a new powder because my cousin was getting married (last weekend!) and I was too dark for mine. Unfortunately the girl who helped me gave me one too dark. Still seeing if I like it though since I'm used to MAC.

Saw this adorable makeup case on sale for $11 and had to get it! I'm not sure how much it originally was but I've seen it for a long time. It's so nice plus has easy to clean material on the inside. And a side pocket.

Since I had over 300 points and they had nice rewards I decided to redeem them!
Make Up For Ever lipstick R#43 - it's so mini adorable and so well made! Apparently it is their best selling shade. It seems flattering on all skin colors.
Purity gel cleanser - very good sized sample since I go through gel cleansers pretty slowly. I still love my Fresh one but maybe I'll convert!

Spontaneously got a lime green hi-lo dress from Arden B. it's so gorgeous! I have no other dress this color and it was over 50% off ($130 to $50!). The medium was a bit snug for me but the large was wayy too big. It worked great with my sparkly heels for my cousins wedding reception. =)

Ross is a hit or miss with shoes. I've been wanting booties and found some cute ones!
Black lace up - $21.99
Very comfortable with a slight grip at the bottom. Glad I didn't get the Target ones for $35 as they were less comfy!

Taupe Madden Girl wedge booties - clearance for $17.99
These have a steeper heel and wider opening so I need to put inserts in to make it more comfy as well as get some cute ankle socks to wear with it. Hopefully these will get a lot of wear!

Which bag?!

I have major issues. I am obsessed with purses! I will refrain from clothes/shoes/makeup/eating out until I have saved up enough money for the purse I want! I am currently in love with the Louis Vuitton Ebene Damier Neverfull. I am not sure what size I would get though, chances are I would get the GM ($900) as I am taller but am afraid it will look a bit floppy. The MM is considerably smaller and still $850. I have always wanted it, even though it is one of the more common LV bags, but I think it is practical and overall a beautiful bag. The red interior is gorgeous!

Last I mentioned a bag I wanted it was the new Alexander Wang Rockie ($725). I haven't tried it on yet so it may not work as it may look too small and the strap may be too short. I also want it with rose gold studs (black leather) too so I would have to wait. If not, I would get the Rocco with rose gold studs ($875). Sooooo nice. =)

These bags are close in price so I am currently debating which would I should get...I would love opinions. =)

Butter London!

Was excited for Ulta's BOGO deal because I really wanted No More Waity, Katie. It's a gorgeous mauvy purple with lots of shiny pink/purple glitters. Very unique!

And I also fell in love with British Racing Green as its a bright ish forest green. It has very fine glitters that that make it look emeraldy.

I really need to stop buying nail polishes all together but these are very unique colors and were a good deal. As far as the cheapest you can buy Butter that is...

May do swatches if I can do my nails well! ;)

Weekend Haul

Went to Nordstrom Rack to return the maxi dress and a gift that didn't work out... ended up with Urban Decays primer potion in Sin. Its the old packaging and was $8.97. I know the old packaging sucks and the wand is bad but it was a good deal and I will manage :)

Target always gets me. Had to buy a wedding card and the ELF cream liner. I'm out of my Bobbi Brown one but didn't want to shell out the money if the ELF one is just as good. I've been disappointed in drugstore gel liners but since it was $3 and I recently heard a good review I decided to try it! May do a review later =)

Ardell individual lashes in short. $3.89 Haven't tried these but will do so for a wedding I'm going to! I have extra sparse and short lashes. Full lashes are usually uncomfortable but half lashes feel okay. Let's hope these work okay!

Lastly my large purchase that I'm not sure if I should keep! It's a rose gold Marc by Marc Jacobs watch! Crazy good deal at TJ Maxx for $99.99! From $275 retail. I shouldn't be making large purchases and I have a silver/rose gold Michael Kors watch already... Le sigh. Should I keep it? It's super cute! I have to pay for it to be resized too.
