haulidays : drugstore haul

lindsey is back home and thank goodness!! i have had the most amazing weekend with two of my very good friends in new york city! we had so much fun venturing out into the big nyc and saw two broadway shows, took a midnight adventure tour, tried chestnut (they are repulsive and its without the shell) and we basically took on nyc in about 50+ hours!

with being home that means i get to drive, which means i get to go shopping!! i swear i should be a personal shopper when i am older haha! but anyways, this everything i got yesterday at the drugstore. its not really much of a haul, but hey it counts as a haul, right? 

 HAPPY HAULIDAYS EVERYONE xx 

what i got : 

jergens natural glow foam : i have used this before, reccomended by lanni and schmegzz, but this one was on sale for $2.50 at my local cvs sooo with me being snow white and all, i popped it into my cart hoping to be that bronze goddess... well maybe. 

ice breakers ice cubes in spearmint : i have had this gum in my car i think since i have even owned my own car. this was a total must, especially because im out of all of my old pack (thanks mom and dad).

burts bee's ultra conditioning lip balm : oh my gosh you guys. i have never ever tried this one from burt's bees before, but i am in utter love with it, although it does make my lips a little white... it still makes them super lush and super soft.

carmex cherry lip balm : i have never used carmex before, megs told me to try it a bunch of time because she uses it like 24/7 (but she loves the vaseline one haha) so i was like why not just get myself a third chapstick. i really like it, not my favorite, but it helps condition your lips. 

eos sweet mint chapstick : i can not tell you all how much i love this product. i never finish a chastic and i finished this little guy in a semester, soooo i had to get another one, along with the other chappies. 

venus spa breeze razor : okay, so this was my first time getting a "grown up razor" haha i have used my other one from venus for about well since 6th grade now and decided to move onto a smaller and more powerful one. i used it last night you guys and i am obsessed! it got everything off, like POOF.

rose paper mask : i have never used this before, until about twenty minutes ago!! if your friends with me on snapchat, or if your ali or ej, you would have seen my phantom face from this mask but it seriously works wonders & makes your face smell like roses. 

simple faacial cleansing whipes : soooo after watching lindsey (not me) beautybaby44 on youtube for like ever, i have heard her, as well as other youtubers thrive about these makeup remover whipes. at first i was like umm theses dont work, well they actually do, it just takes time (like longer than i am used to) but it really gets EVERYTHING off!! i absolutely love em. 

skintamate mango shaving cream : literally the best shaving cream in the universe. this is like five bucks and it lasts like forever!! and above all, i absolutely love the scent of this shaving cream.

scunci hairties : these are such a classic purchase for myself. although i love my diy homemade hair ties, these ones really hold my messy buns up and together. 

dove deodorant : sooo finding a perfect deodorant has been a struggle for a while now, and i have been using a bunch of different brands, but for some reason i picked up this one, love the consistancy of it and love love love the scent, it is so pure and fresh. 

black friday haul 2013 : sephora

lindsey did some damage this week guys, and by some i mean a ton.  haha, lets start with i went black friday shopping. and i somehow found myself in sephora just glancing on the shelves... glancing soon turned into some shopping. 
so i really didnt go overboard with the amount of stuff i got, but i did spend a pretty penny for some of it! haha hope you all enjoy! and i hope to do a review of the products soon. 

so the first thing i picked up was the tarte trio pack of the tarte of giving. this pack was about $10 on a black friday special at sephora. i haven't used any of these products yet but i am really excited to do so!

what's inside : a tarte mini pure maracuja oil :  This undiluted organic and moisturizing maracuja oil quickly absorbs for firmer, brighter, smoother skin. Pure maracuja oil is rich in vitamin C, so skin appears instantly brighter and more radiant, as well as essential fatty acids (EFAs), a requirement for healthy skin cells that the body cannot produce on its own. EFA deficiency can result in the breakdown of essential skin cells which causes skin to appear dry and aged. By supplementing skin with pure maracuja oil, you are infusing life back into dull skin and replenishing EFAs to rapidly rebuild and repair. This potent antiaging elixir that has anti-inflammatory benefits promotes active skin recovery and delivers maximum hydration without any greasy or filmy feel
a tarte mini amazonian clay finishing powder : This translucent, silky finishing powder keeps makeup in place without ever appearing chalky and mattifies skin by removing excess surface oil.  This powder can even be used alone as a treatment to reap all the benefits of Amazonian clay.
& a tarte mini lights, camera, lashes mascara :  Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! 4-in-1 Mascara could be considered a push-up bra for your lashes—a 4-in-1 (lengthening, curling, volumizing, and conditioning) dermatologist- and clinically-proven to increase the appearance of lash volume by 424% after applying giving dramatic, thick and sexy lashes.

after picking up the tarte mini pack i remembered there was something i wanted, no needed to get and it was this beautifulness. the too faced a few of my favorite things palette.

guys, this palette can not be put into words other than sheer perfection. i picked up this bad by for $56 and it was the last one in my store ( haha...sorry, i just had to ). the palate came with two little samples of their products, the too faced better than sex mascara and the too faced lip injection color bomb “bee sting”, which was a limited edition lip injection for this palate. 

ohmygoid you guys all the eyeshadows are very amazing quality, they are highly pigmented, and easy to blend together! i also love love love the names of the colors, they are just like the sound of music!

lake george mini shoe haul

yesterday was our outlet shopping day here in good ol' lake george and might i just say i saw some of the best deals of my life. we went shopping from 10-3 and didnt even hit all the stores that i wanted to... so i will be going back with my cousins later in the week! for this post i am going to show you the fabulous shoes that i purchased for the fall! hope you enjoy. xx 

**now you should know that my sister and i call my grandma bucky**

 so bucky and i went into famous footwear and found these stunners!! i had been needing well wanting a pair of nude flats and i found these; my perfect pair. they are from one of my favorite shoe designers steve madden. they are patent leather and are a high rise, close to the start of your toes.

oh my gosh, was my first reaction when i saw them. i was on my way to sunglass hut not even wanting to go into kennieth cole reaction, but when i saw these plum babies in the window, it was love at first sight. they are a beautiful plum color with a satin finish. i am going to go back and get these in green and in royal blue because they are such a great deal.

these stunners are some more steve's, well its actually madden girl brand. they are in the color gamer stone, which could be described more as an olive stone color! they go up to the middle of your calves and are full lace up boots. combat boots #4 for me. they were a little pricey, but cheaper than the original price! thanks for these bucky.

   pictured above :    01 - scunci clips : i have been in need of these clips so badly!! i have endless bobby pins and too many barrett clips, but since i left all my bow in DC (i know i cried too....) i have decided to pull my hair back in one of these no slip, tight grip clips.  colors : brown, clear, black   02 - maybelline dream matte mousse : this product i have been urging to try for the past couple of weeks now. i have seen some youtubers use this product, and decided to try it out for myself. i ended up using it tonight, and ohmygawd you guys i fell head over tory burch heels for this! my new favorite foundation, love the color and the smell!  color : light (2) 03 - maybelline 24 hr color tattoo metal : so i have used one of these before, and thought i would love it. yes i did love the product, just not the color i selected... i mean i do still wear that one (it was taupe) but this one had me for sure (sorry you can't see it from the photo) but it is a beautiful champaign shimmer shadow, that makes your eyelids look stunning! color : 70 barely branded
04 - sally hansen insta dry nail polish : this is my absolute favorite top coat in the world!! if you know me personally, you know i am so impatient, and a slight perfectionist. so with a perfect manicure i need the perfect quick dry top coat to make everything perfect. i lalalalove this so much!! color : 110 clearly quick
05 - not your mothers beach babe texturizing cream : if that wasn't a mouthful, let me give you one on this product! this product is a mermaids hair in a tube. i thought that my bumble and bumble sea spray was out of the ocean, i was confirmed to be wrong after i squeezed out some of this product! it smells delicious, just like summer!! perfect for a lazy summer hair day, sign me up!!
