currently

Its Saturday night, 9pm and this is what I am up to:
Sitting in my bed, typing up a blog post, drinking diet pepsi and eating sour cream & onion crackers by Special K, burning my Glade Nutcracker Crunch candle, Christmas tree lights on and watching Christmas with the Kranks.
HECK YES!

HAUL FRIDAY!


Here are some beauty items I've picked up this past week! I'll elaborate about the product underneath it.
Ardell Magic Lash
I picked this up for a whole 2$ in a sale bin at the local pharmacy. I'm actually excited to see if its going to work or not. 


I also found this eyeshadow in the 2$ bin! This is a very nice pinkish lavender colour and I'm super excited to try it!

Recently, Sephora decided to send out 15$ off a 50$ purchase coupon for all Beauty Insiders. I picked up these three primers from Tarte! I wanted to try these out to compare them to Benefit's Porefressional!

Also at Sephora, I picked up the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour Blush in Buff. In my opinion this is more of a matte bronzer but I am excited none the less. It is a beautiful colour and I will have a review up in the following weeks.
I needed to pick up another little something in order to make it to the 50$ mark so I decided to pick up this sample sized They're Real! Mascara by Benefit because of all the amazing things I have heard about it.
I used 100 of my beauty insider points to pick up this Hope In a Jar facial moisturizer. I wanted to try it out before I picked up the big jar!
I received these 2 samples in the mail. With them also came a 2$ off coupon and thats why I decided on the following product.


I have been waiting for a long time to pick up this self-tanner with my Glymm points and with 12 days of Christmas deal going on, it was finally time!



When I saw this in the store, I knew I had to pick it up. For 14.99$, how could one say no? I have been wanting to try out some Soap & Glory products because of all the rage on youtube, so I decided this would be the ideal testing ground.

Hey guys! Today I wanted to share with you five products I have been loving. Four of them are makeup products and one is a nail polish.

1. The Body Shop Matte It Primer ($15)
This primer actually contains chamomile as well as aloe vera to soothe your skin. A primer helps in reducing the shine on your face as well as helping your foundation last all day.

2. Revlon Lip Butters (around $8)
Revlon kills it when it comes to most products, but they definitely have the lead in the lip product department. These lip butters are beyond amazing. I have tried Crème Brulée, Cupcake, Candy Apple, Lollipop and Strawberry Shortcake and I will honestly say I have not yet been disappointed. This product is pigmented and will leave your lips feeling moisturized. 
Revlon states the following:
- Hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture by 156%
- Pampering gel formula provides super charged hydration and glides on lips buttery smooth

3. Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara ($10)
All I've got to say is this has been kicking my Falsies mascaras butt lately. I loooove it.

4. Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Extreme Wear Nail Color in Plum Punch ($3)
I have been loving this colour for my nails lately. Its a very nice purply plum with a nice shimmer to it. These are great products for so cheap.

5. L'Oréal Infallible Creamy Powder Foundation
I use this a powder to set my foundation. I dust it on with a big kabuki brush and I honestly am in love with this. I initially picked it up to do a makeup challenge and ended up falling in love with it. I have purchased two more since.

up owl night

up owl night

Its no surprise that animals have made a huge comeback this year. Many clothing items have animals such as foxes, cats, bunnies and one of the funnest ones, owls! I decided for fashion tuesday to put together two outfits featuring owls. The one on the left is casual and the one on the right is a little dressier.
I hope you guys enjoy,
