HAUL TIME!

Thrift Store Treasures!
I've been feeling like rocking gold lately... 
I've  been going on an accessory binge. I told myself that I wouldn't be purchasing anymore makeup or beauty products for the next month and a half... I know! So I need to focus my energy on something else. I've been working on turning my extra room in my house into a closet/ beauty room. So far, I've gotten a lot of stuff cleared out, but still have tons of things to go through and donate!It's fun yet tiring!  My rooms look like a mess! I feel like a hoarder.

So I've been wanting to go to thrift stores and antique shops lately. My boyfriend is such a good sport and goes with all the time. I found this awesome chunky gold charm bracelet for like $8! I looked it up online when I got home and it was a Jessica Simpson Charm that retails for $60. I love it!

I also found this really cute owl necklace that has been popular forever. I had a smaller one a long time ago but it broke. This was only $2 so why not!? It's a great statement piece.

I found this great piece in an antique shop. I think it was around $10? It was actually marked down from $25, so I was pretty happy. I wore it to dinner the other night with a black top and it was just the perfect pop of gold.

I've also been looking for a gold watch that won't be too out there that I can wear everyday. I found this great gold BCBG watch with a white leather strap that retails for $150 for only $40. :)

These bangle's I bought at F21 and the locket there as well. I just thought they were cute and would go well with any outfit. They were both under $10.
Who says you can't get great accessories for a great price? I'm still on a never ending search. Just thought I'd share my purchases with those of you who care!

Happy shopping!

HAUL TIME!

NYX HAUL!
I placed an order with CHERRY CULTURE a week or so ago.

They were having 20% off their entire site until March 20th or something. I just decided to load up on some NYX things! NYX is so hard for me to find because the closest place that carries this brand is ULTA. I hate driving all the way from my house to ULTA jsut for NYX. So when they had this sale, I took advantage of it! They came today!



NYX'S ROUND LIPGLOSS
 
MAUVE

PINKY NATURAL

NYX's lipglosses are extremely glossy and moisturizing. 
They glide on the lips like magic and the color is so beautiful. They were only $2!


NYX ROUND LIPSTICKS
The first products I ever tried from NYX were their rouded lipsticks. I instantly fell in love. The reason why I love their lipsticks? They're SO CREAMY! I'm not a big fan of dry lipsticks because my lips get really dry and yucky throughout the day. MAC frost lipsticks do this to me. (No matter how much water I drink!) With these lipsticks, they moisturize so well. The color selection is also humongous! They're a winner for me, and I only paid $2.50 each! Steal!

THALIA. PARIS.PEACH.B53
Thalia is a darkened pink/purple.
Paris is a bright pinky mauve.
Peach is a frosty pink.
B53 is a pink nude.

FRAPPUCCINO. FIG.POWER.CETO
Frapp is a dark nude pink.
Fig is a coral pink.
Power is a blue pink.
Ceto is a frost nude pink.

POWDER BLUSH
MAUVE &a TERRA COTTA
Mauve is a dusty rose colored powder. I like these because they are finely milled and don't settle int pores. I really like the gold, almost coral like color of terra cotta. This is great a bronzer, highlighter, blush, everything!

 JUMBO EYE PENCILS
These are widely popular as an amazing and inexpensive product. They can be used as basis or highlights or by themselves as eye shadows. I have never used them before but I'm so glad I finally took the jump! They are so creamy and they glide on so smoothly! 
On sale at CherryCulture for $3!

MILK. YOGURT. COTTAGE CHEESE

I didn't do all the lipstick swatches because that would have taken me forever. I'll do them one by one with looks or something. I LOVE cherry culture! I'm so excited to try these new products! HAPPY SHOPPING!

A DAY IN THE LIFE:SATURDAY♥

A SATURDAY IN MY LIFE :]

HI GUYS! Hope you all had a WONDERFUL Saturday. It's one of my favorite days of the week. I get to RELAX, sleep in, and enjoy life! The family's home, no one's at work. It's great. This particular Saturday my boyfriend RP and I decided we were going to the swap meet. Well, I decided we were going to the swamp meet LOL. We went to KOBEY'S swap meet. We like looking at old junky things because we're both really big fans of shows such as American Pickers and Pawn Stars. Both shows are basically about people buying old things that have awesome history behind them.Anyways, I picked up two pairs of sunglasses at the swap meet, two eye brushes from some random brand and some nail decals. All for under $20. I was pretty proud of myself :) Afterward we went to have lunch at Corvette Diner. It was my first time there! I got a green river limeade soda. SO GOOD! And I ordered the B.L.A.S.T. sandwich.
 I also went to Sephora and Walmart and got a few things. This is probably the only downside of having days off because since I'm not working, I'm out spending money. LOL. oh well. You gotta invest in what you LOVE. I went to Sephora and picked up their LASHSTASH mascara deluxe sampler thing, a new NARS DEEP THROAT blush because I was almost out of my other one and I dropped it and it broke. :( I'll do a review on it since it's one of my FAVORITE blushes. I prefer it over Orgasm. I also picked up Sephora's brand waterproof retractable eyeliner. I'm going to test it out to see if I like it.  I'm excited to test out the Mascara samplers!



I went to Walmart and got ...
1.A BIORE heating face wash. This stuff is amazing. It heats up as you apply it! 
2.BIORE pore strips. I needed a cleanse of my pores!
3. A CLAY Avocado and oatmeal face mask. I have the cucumber one at home and  wanted to try this one. I'll do a review as soon as I can test it out a few times. 
4. Tree HUT body butter in Coconut lime. I couldn't resist, it smelled so good!
5. A much needed LOOFAH! :)
6. A comb for me to blow dry my hair. haha.


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to SPRING FORWARD!
