I made the plunge, NARS ITA BRUSH!

I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy the very popular contour brush, NARS Ita Kabuki Brush. This brush is used all over YouTube! The first time I used it I was so impressed! I definitely need some more practice with it though! I think it is worth the $55 dollars if contouring is something you really want to get into! It's been making me feel pretty lately! I love it :) 

This was the first time I used it! 

And this was the second!

And here it is!!! :D 

The start to my apartment decor shopping!

As I have mentioned before, for my Senior Year in College I am living in an apartment! I am so excited, and I got my comforter and shower curtain. I am going to use both of these pieces as the focal point of the room they are in!

I got my shower curtain from Marshall's and I also got the shower curtain liner as well!! 

It's hard to tell, but it is a grayish brown with white. I love it! I'm thinking grey as theme with a pop of color accents in either mint or coral! 

 My comforter is from Home Goods! I love it!! It is a set, and I love the coral accents! 

 This is the picture on the package! I love the different patterns and textures!  

Ulta Haul: NYX, L'Oreal, and Batiste!! :)

Right before my vacation I went to Ulta to get a few things, here is what I picked up! 

First, I was in a serious need of a new dry shampoo! I love this Batiste one, it smells so good too. 

 NYX products were on sale, and I really wanted to try the new Angel Veil Primer. Let me tell you, it is AMAZING! It feels similar to Hourglass's Mineral Veil Primer, and it glides over your skin! 

I also picked up two of these GORGEOUS NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, I got the shades Morocco and Copenhagen. They are so pretty, especially for fall!  

 L'Oreal was also on sale, so I picked up some mascaras. I repurchased the Butterfly mascara, and got it in waterproof for my vacation. I also picked up the new Miss Manga mascara. I am seriously loving it so far. And lastly, I got the Million Lashes mascara because I have never tried it before! 

My First Romper and Bath and Body Works Mini Haul!

 Hello everyone!! 

Today was an exciting day, for years I have been trying on rompers and they always looked horrible on me. Well I've lost around 20 pounds, but I still have my large hips and a booty (Which I love haha). I actually found a romper today that looked nice! The romper is from Forever 21. 

 While at my outlets, I purchased some soap, hand sanitizer, and a Leaves Candle for my apartment at school! The candle is wrapped up so I can pack it easier! 

Forever 21 and Avon Haul

I love my pink pleated maxi skirt that I got it in green!! :) 

 I got myself a KIMONO!! :) 

The picture doesn't show it very well the pattern is pictured below 

Mint Crop top tank

 This bralette is black, it didn't show up that though. haha

 I recently purchased some stuff from Avon, and I also got some samples that I was really impressed with! 

This is a swatch of the lipgloss in the shade Creamy Nude

This perfume is really nice! Very floral and feminine 

I bought this really nice Avon Glow bronzer/blush duo in Peach Glow

Matte Bronzer and Blush! 

 I really wanted to try an  eye cream, and this one is really great! Pretty thick, but not too thick. I have definitely seen improvements in my under-eye dryness.

Out of all the samples, I was most impressed with this eyeshadow quad sample! 

The colors were so creamy and pigmented!! I was very impressed. 

This quad is called in Stone Taupes

Crop Top Haul

Well Spring is finally here!! After having what felt like the longest and most cold winter of my life, I cannot wait to have warm weather!! I'm also losing weight. These two things have been making me really want to buy some crop tops. I don't have very many, and I think they are so cute! They will be so great in the spring and summer :) 

-The first two crop tops are from Marshall's. The lighter pink one is like a regular crop tee shirt, and then the back is find of webbed, and has little flowers!

-The more coral looking one is from Marshall's as well. It is scalloped, and the back has silver buttons and opens up a little at the bottom! 

The other four tops are from Forever 21: 

-The little white one is my FAVORITE! It's more like a bandeau, but it is adorable and looks so pretty with my pale pink maxi skirt. 

-The one next to that is white with little black polka dots, it buttons up and ties in the middle

- Basic black and white striped cropped tee 

- A sheer, but not too sheer black loose crop tank! I love this one too! 

Some of the tops with my pale pink maxi (also from Forever 21) 

Sephora, Hautelook, and Forever 21 mini haul

I really have been needing some serious skincare lately. My skin is SO dry. So I got this First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream that is supposed to be amazing. I also wanted to try this Boscia Makeup-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil to take off my fave makeup. 

 This may be a TINY deluxe sample, but at least I can try this bad boy. 

I got it as a 100 point gift! :)

 I love getting these little deluxe sized products from Benefit to try them out! 

 I got this little vile of Katy Perry's Killer Queen perfume. I'm not a huge fan of hers anymore, and this perfume is named after my idol's song. But I have to admit...It smells AMAZING. I definitely would like to get the full size eventually.

 I got a deluxe sized sample of the new Buxom foundation! It's definitely too dark, but I'll save it for summer. It seems really nice though!

 Nicely sized sample of Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in Mudslide

 My adorable new sunglasses from Forever 21! They are like cat-eye aviatiors! :) 

 I wanted some cute pajamas! I got this cute nightshirt and the short and tee set below! 

 And this gorgeous pale pink pleated maxi skirt with two slits! 

From Hautelook I got these adorable booties <3 I think the brand is Bucco

I am starting to run low on my Psssssst! Dry shampoo, so I decided to try a new one. I got the Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo. I used it today, and it smells really good. When I came back to my room, my hair looked a little greasy so I put more in. It is an okay product, I will use it but I like the Pssst! brand better :)
