Vacation

Well, it's finally time for me to actually kick back and relax. Tomorrow morning I board a plane to Jamaica for some real down time with my boyfriend and his family. I will try to post pictures during my week and a half stay on Negril beach. Cody and I will also be making some videos to post on my youtube channel when we return.

I couldn't be more excited for this trip and I can't wait to share it with all of you! Stay tuned!

Neglect

It's been one of those weeks where no matter what I'm doing I'm already thinking about the next thing on my to do list. So what I'm trying to say is I'm way off schedule and have been neglecting my infant blog. Since this school year is winding down, i'll probably be pretty busy until May, but then I can dedicate some serious time to developing this style blog and sharing much more of myself and my style with all of you.

I do hope to make another video this weekend with my boyfriend and also edit the haul I did last week.

Stay tuned!

Walgreens and Target Makeup Haul

Today, I went a little makeup and face product crazy at Walgreens and Target. I have been obsessively watching videos and following the blogs of Ingrid and Zoe which I will link at the end of this post. The first product I got was the Revlon Colorstay foundation for combination/oily skin in the shade Sand Beige. I have heard Ingrid absolutely raving about this foundation and it was only $9.99 at Target. I can't wait to try this. 

This is the Maybelline Clean Express makeup remover. What attracted me to this is the ultra gentle, oil free formula for removing waterproof  makeup. It is also safe for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes, which I am both of those people. Ingrid raved about this as well.

This Clay Mask from Freeman was something my friend Chelsea told me to try. I've been looking for a nice yet reasonably priced mask and this was under $5 at Walgreens. 

This is yet another product Ingrid has been raving about for a while. I got the Maybelline Falsies  mascara in the waterproof formula. I also get oily and watery eyes so my eye products I prefer in waterproof formulas.

Another Ingrid recommendation, I finally broke and bought a Maybelline Baby Lips. I got the shade Peach Kiss. 

This Dream Lumi Touch highlighting concealer is something I see Ingrid use in all of her tutorials and favorites videos. I just had to try it. I got the shade radiant.

I have heard so much about the Maybelline BB cream and my suitemate uses this product. She recommended I try it. I got the shade light/medium.

This elf baked eyeshadow was only $3 at Target. I couldn't pass up the deal. The shade here is called Pixie. 

I've been dying to get a Maybelline Vivid lipcolor since I saw Zoe and Ingrid talk about them. I went crazy and got the shade Hot Plum. 

I love the outer casing on the Vivid lipcolors. 

This is what the color looks like. Almost a fuschia but it is a bit more purple-y.

I also got a Loreal Colour Riche lip balm in the shade Provence Romance. This isn't very pigmented at all but is a really great balm. 

The pretty casing is what attracted me to it right away.





That's all for today! I can't wait to try these products and let you all know what I think of them! Please go check out Ingrid and Zoe! They are amazing!

Some Products I'm Loving.

Just treated myself to some new books. I've been really interested in buddhism and this book sounded very promising. I also got Mess by Keri Smith. I now own her entire collection of books.

Here are some products I'm loving at the moment.

I swear by bumble and bumble products.

I have been using the bumble and bumble surf spray, which is a salt spray, since I picked it up this summer in a Sephora in NYC. It's perfect for my messy waves.

I uses this every day before I put on makeup. The VSPRO line has really impressed me.

I'm obsessed with Topshop makeup ever since Zoella raved about it on her youtube channel. This is a lip crayon in the shade wave goodbye.

I bought this nail polish at J.Crew this summer on a shopping trip. I love this color and it's been my go to color for the whole year.

Here's another look at the lip crayon. I love this girly pink color.

I am completely, 100%, IN LOVE with the topshop waterproof liner. My favorite color and the one pictured here is gunmetal. Black looks rather intense on me so this is a bit more suited for my makeup style. It goes on so smooth and easy.

Online Shopping...

I'm going down a slippery slope of bank account emptying despair.

But I just can't resist topshop beauty products. God have mercy on my soul.
