August Favorites!

Now that August has came and went I've decided to write about my fav products this month. There's only two categories I've split the products into which is: Makeup and Fragrances. Let's get started.

Makeup:

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation(left): I first heard about this foundation through one of my favorite youtubers. I thought I'd give it a try and was not disappointed! This is definitely a full coverage foundation that lasts all day. I got mine in the shade Flawless Tan which goes with my skin tone perfectly! It's also really great for hot weather since it's not sticky at all.

Wet n Wild Fergie Highlight(top): This highlight is gorgeous, it gives off such a natural sheer glow and goes perfect with any shade of blush or bronzer. The size of this product is great too! I've been using this so much and it barely looks used which is always a plus. This is in the shade Rosé Champagne Glow.

ModelCo Bronzer(bottom): I received this bronzer in one of my previous Boxycharm boxes and boy did I become obsessed! This bronzer has subtle glittery specs which makes it so unique from my other bronzers. The glittery specs in the bronzer are definitely subtle enough to wear eveyday. I love how you can definitely build up this bronzer for a more defined look. This is not only an August fave but an all time fav!

Fragrances:

Bath & Body Works A Thousand Wishes(left): I've been obsessed with this scent since the first time I smelled it! It smells so fancy that's really the best way to describe it. If I ever had to attend an important event and someway had no perfume at all this would be the body spray I would go to. 

Bath & Body Works Cool Amazon Rain(middle): This is one of the scents I was waiting until I got to school to use. But once I did I couldn't stop! This is such a warm, cozy, girly scent. It's a great eveyday scent since it's so refreshing.

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Touch(right): This has became my favorite perfume! It's so hard to describe this scent but all I will say is that it's amazing. Not only does it smell so good the packaging of the bottle is so cute! If you ever come across this perfume give it a try I promise you won't regret it! 

There's my August Favorites, I hope everyone enjoyed reading!

Until next time, xoxo!

Update!

I decided to post an update of where I've been since I've been MIA for some time. This past week I've moved 4 hours away from home to school. It has been a HUGE adjustment. Being away from home and my family is hard and took time to get used to. For the most part I love being here and am so happy I made the decision to come out here and pursue my dreams. I've been really busy with unpacking, settling in, and my first week of school I haven't had any time to post to the blog. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop posting entirely, in fact I plan to post regularly. Don't hold me to that because things do happen but for the most part my posts will be up. The only major change that will occur is the lack of Sunday Savings posts that will be up. There may be some here or there or none at all I'm not quite sure yet. The reason for this is I won't be doing the same amount of shopping I do at home. I plan to come up with another weekly series, what it will be about I'm not sure yet but if anyone of you guys have any recommendations I'm open to them! 

There's an update of what's been going on with me, more posts are coming soon !

Until next time, xoxo

Glitter Initial! - Dorm Wall Decor!

Here's the final piece in the dorm wall decor series, it's a glittery initial.

What you'll need:

1. Pencil

2. Paintbrush 

3. Modpodge

4. Glitter

What to do:

First start by picking what letter you would like to use and the font. Trace or freehand the letter onto your canvas(I had my sister help me with this part since she's the artist out of us two lol)

Here's how it looked after the free hand was done.

Next, dip your paintbrush into the modpodge and paint the letter with it. Be careful not  to paint outside of the lines since the glitter will go anywhere the glue goes. Once you have your whole letter covered sprinkle the glitter on the canvas. Once you've done that shake off any excess glitter and go over any missing spots with more mod podge and glitter till you feel satisfied.

Here's the finished product! I love how this came out and how simple it looks.

I hope everyone enjoyed this series, I know I had a lot of fun making these!

Until next time, xoxo

Victoria's Secret Outlet Haul!

Yesterday I visited an Outlet mall and although I didn't plan to buy any body care items I ran into VS and couldn't turn away. There were so many great sales in there and I definitely took advantage of them. 

Here's an overview of what I got:

The first two things I got were 2 pairs of shorts. I got these basically to wear as pajamas or to workout. These are originally priced at $22.95 but I got them for $7.00 each! 

Next thing I picked up is a PINK Pretty & Pure body lotion. I was so so excited to see this for 2 reasons: 1. This scent is my favorite + it has been discontinued and 2. ALL full size pink body lotions were 50% off! This body lotion is normally $15.00 and I got it for only $7.50!

I also picked up a PINK Hair & Body Spray in the scent Fresh & Clean. I'll only use this as a hair spray since I have way too much body sprays already. This was also 50% off, the original price was $18.00 but I got it for $9.00.

Next, I picked up a body lotion for only $5.00! A lot of their original VS body lotions were only $5.00 so I picked one up in the scent Love Rush.

The best sale they had, in my opinion was all perfumes, any size were 50% off! I grabbed two perfumes. I picked up Very Sexy Touch and Victoria's Secret Angel Dream. Both of these perfumes were $45.00 each but I got them for $22.50!

That wraps up my Victoria's Secret Haul! I hope everyone enjoyed reading!

Until next time, xoxo

Latest Pick Up!

I decided I'd quickly share my latest pick up with you guys. I did a little shopping on moddeals.com I mentioned this website in one of my earlier posts. It's really great and lately they've stepped their game up with their merchandise. I purchase 2 bags from there and they were only $9.99! I've been eyeing those structured tote bags that have been out in stores but never found one that really stole my heart. I seriously fell in love with these and the price made it even better!

Here's what they look like:

I think these are so cute! I thought it was really cool that they came with a longer strap to clip to the bag. I love that they're a good size to fit a lot of things in but not oversized like most of my bags. I can't wait to wear these! Moddeals.com has a huge selection of bags and they're all $9.99! Go check it out if you're looking for a bag at the moment.

There's my latest pick up. I hope everyone enjoyed reading!

Until next time, xoxo!

Nail Polish Themed Sunday Savings!

This week's Sunday Savings is nail polish themed simply because that's all I bought this week lol! 

The first nail polish I got is from a store I spoke about before called Lot Less. It's a Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nailpolish in the color Hot Cocoa. I really love this color it's a pretty warm mustard shade and will be perfect in the fall and winter. I got this Nailpolish for $1.99

The next nail polish is another great shade for fall and winter. It's another Rimmel London Polish but this one is in the shade Steel Grey. It was also $1.99

The last Nailpolish I got is a Sinful Color polish. As you guys may know I love love love this brand. They're one of my favorite nailpolish brands. This shade is called Nirvana and I'm in love with it! Can't wait to try it out. This one was also $1.99

There's this week's Sunday Savings. I hope everyone enjoyed reading.

Until next Sunday, xoxo

August Glam Bag!

Here's an overview of what came in the bag:

I was pretty satisfied with everything I got this month + the bag is so cute!

The first thing I got is a Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco Oil Treatment. This smells so good and I can't wait to try it out. This is a sample size but unfortunately I wasn't able to find a price for a regular size bottle.

Next is a Hikari lip gloss in the color Merlot. I love the packaging of this lip gloss I think it's so sleek and classy. The color is also really pretty, perfect for fall. I did notice while swatching and even applying it that the formula is extremely gooey for lack of a better word. The gloss tugged on my lips while applying it. Other than that I really like this color it's also very pigmented. This is a full size and it retails for $13.00.

Here's a swatch 

Next up is an eyeshadow primer from the brand Jesse's Girl. I've heard of this brand before and do have a brush from them. This a teeny tiny sample which I wasn't extremely happy about but I don't actually own any eyeshadow primers as crazy as that may sound so I was excited to see this in my bag. The full size retails for $5.99.

Next is an eye liner from the brand Doucce. I've received a lipstick from this brand in one of my boxycharm boxes. I'm not a huge fan of eye makeup so I'm not sure wether I'll keep this or pass it on. Nonetheless it seems like a nice simple black eyeliner. This is a full size and it retails for $20.00

Here's a swatch.

Last item I got is an Ofra Lip Liner. I received an Ofra Lip Liner in a previous boxycharm box but I love the color I got in my ipsy bag so much more! I definitely have a couple of lipsticks that would go perfect with this and it glides on so smoothly! This is a full size and retails for $13.00

Here's a swatch. 

There's everything I got in this month's glam bag. I hope you all enjoyed reading.

Until next time, xoxo
