Haul | Strength Collection

Hey ladies, here is another late MAC haul post. Originally I wasn’t planning on getting anything from this collection because I wasn’t really excited for it. But once people started posting pictures on Instagram I knew I needed to have it. When I first attempted to get it was all sold out online and I didn’t even see it in stores. Then one day randomly, while shopping I decided to make a quick stop instead MAC to see if they had any of the Brow gel liners but they didn’t. But they had the full display for the Strength collection. I really tried to control myself but I needed up with 3 new lipsticks. The ones I picked up were:
 
MAC Strength Collection featuring Party Parrot, Pink Pigeon & Strong Woman #makeupjunkie #beautyjunkie #mac #maccosmetics #newcollection #newlipsticks #ilovemakeup #ilovemac #mattelipsticks
 
- Party Parrot
- Pink Pigeon
-Strong Woman
 
These are all matte lipsticks and they are such beautiful colors. I can’t wait till it warms up a bit more and I can rock these colors on a regular basis. Where you ladies able to get your hands on anything from this collection?

Haul | Disney DVD’s

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you the new DVD’s I picked up for movie nights with Princess. Honestly, like you can already tell, I just love anything Disney and I’m so happy I picked these two up. I picked up Finding Nemo because I wasn’t able to take Princess to it in 3D and I’m sure she will love it. Then I picked up Brave because I really wanted to see it and we honestly watch it every 3 days or so. It seems to be Princess’ current favorite movie but that will probably change again soon. Have you seen these movies and added them to your Disney collection? What’s your favorite Disney movie?
 
I can't wait to watch these #disneymovies #bigkidatheart #newmovies #ilovedisney #moviejunkie

Haul | Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale

Hey ladies, I know this post is way over due but I’m finally getting around to it. Lately, I haven’t really been into shopping at Bath and Body works because my collection currently is massive. But I decided I wanted to try and get some new stuff from the Fall/Winter collection that I missed out on originally. I picked up so many things that it was ridiculous but I will let you know about the main things I got. I picked up 3 new candles:
 
Picked up some new goodies from the semi annual sale #newgoodies #bathandbodyworks #semiannualsale
 
- Winter Night
- White Barn No. 2 Chestnut and Cider
-Bonfire Maplewood

I also picked up 2 new candle holders. I picked up a bunch a shower gels:

- Black Raspberry Vanilla
 
Had to stock up on these #newgoodies #bathandbodyworks #semiannualsale
 
Lastly, I picked up a bunch of the Sleep Sommeil aromatherapy. These are my favorites for giving my princess and myself baths at night. I got 2 of the lotions, 3 of the shower gels and 3 of the luxury baths. And I’m super happy I was able to stock up while they were 75% off. I honestly, don’t think I will be back in bath and body again until atleast the next sale, hopefully. Have you ladies picked up any new goodies from Bath and Body Works lately?

Haul | MAC Taste Temptation

Hey ladies, this is a way over due post. Back before Christmas MAC released their Taste Temptation collection and I fell in love with it. I’m a huge fan of their Mattene Lipsticks and I couldn’t resist. I decided to control myself and only get the lipsticks I would actually wear; which were Night Blooming and Seductive Intent. Right now, I’m kind of sad that I didn’t pick up Nocturnal Instincts which is mid-tone grey lavender but hopefully it gets re-promoted sometime later this year; fingers crossed! I also picked up one blush from this collection in Passionately Tempted. Honestly, it’s such a beautiful color on the cheeks and I’m so happy I added it to my collection. Lastly, while shopping online on day I decided to pick up the Chromagraphic Pencil in NC42/NW35. I picked this up so that I could use it on my waterline instead of a white one. Hopefully, I really like seeing I haven’t tried it yet. But hopefully I will use it soon! Where you lovely ladies able to get your hands on anything from this collection?

Haul | Randoms

Hey ladies, yet again I was in Winners shopping around. I’m always on the hunt for lipstick holders. Like my collection is getting out of hand and I don’t think I will ever have enough space for them. Sometimes I luck out and find a couple but this time I wasn’t so lucky. But I did find a small makeup organizer for about $15 and it holds about 15 lipsticks and I thought it would be great for the top of my vanity once I get it set up and everything. Lastly, while there I picked up a Hair Iron Holder, as you can see I got this way before I decided to chop off my hair. But give it a few months and I will be able to use.

Haul | Winners

Hey ladies, just coming at you with another late post. I’m honestly like 3 months behind right now but I’ll be working on checking up on them over the next few weeks. Back before Christmas I stopped into Winners to do some shopping like usual and I found some great new purses. Usually I only look for Steve Madden purses because they are my favorite and I was super happy when I found the Mustard colored Cross Body Bag for only $20; that’s the cheapest I have ever seen Steve Madden on sale there. I honestly, can’t wait till it’s warmer so I can pair it up with some really cute outfits and share with you guys. Lastly, I picked up 2 clutches and I’m not sure of the brand but they are perfect to wear out at night or during the day; depends on the look you are going for. But I got the black and the orange with the plan of using them when I go out for ladies night with my girls. They happen to have a long chain so you could wear it as a cross body bad or on your shoulder but so far I’ve only used it as a clutch. I can’t wait to feature these clutches in upcoming outfits and share with you how I style them.

Haul | Maybelline Goodies

Hey ladies, here is a quick and small Walmart haul, while shopping for movie night snacks I decided to stop by the cosmetics area and I picked up a bunch of things from Maybelline I wanted to try and review for you guys. I picked up another one of my favorite brow pencils, the Define-A-Brow in Medium Brown. I also picked up the New Eyestudio Brow Pencil because I heard from youtube that the Define-A-Brow was getting discounted.

And I also picked up Great Lash Lots of Lashes so I could review, seeing I love it so much.

NOTD | 02.08.12

Hey ladies, I'm just stopping by to share with you my nails real quick. This past weekend I was suppose to go out for my little cousin's 18th birthday but I lost my ID and a bunch of other things.

I wanted another Spring/Summer color to wear; the weather in my area has been nice the last week.

Bringing Sexy Back | Week 1

Hey ladies and gents! I'm officially getting back into working out regularly. Honestly, I've slacked off for months now and I really need to put an end to it. Since I haven't been eating healthy lately, I decided I would start slow. I'm currently trying to cut out McDonald's out completely. But that's a complete struggle, I'm use to eating it like 4-6 times a week. But now I'm done to once a week and it's great. The next thing I need to work on is my sugar intake so I'm working on cutting out all the soda and candy I eat. Or at least limit my intake.
 
Untitled
 
Anyways, onto the actual working out. For the month of February I'm going to work on doing at least 15 minutes of cardio a day; usually on the treadmill or by jumping rope. Then I'm going to use my Nike Training app for daily workouts ranging from 15-45 minutes a night, based on the day. Honestly I'm sure excited to get back into everything again and start eating healthy again. I will be posting monthly updates on how everything is going and if I'm being lazy with my workouts. I'm currently sitting at 150.8 lbs and hopefully I can drop a few pounds this month. Wish me luck and I will be back in about a month with an update!

Hey ladies, just wanted to stop by and share with you my nails. I just finished painting them and I wanted to get this post up right away before I forgot.

What are you currently wearing on your nails?

NOTD | 02.01.13

Hey ladies, I'm just stopping by to share with you my nails from the weekend. I honestly love painting my nails and I change them about every 4 days. So I will have another post coming up right away. For this manicure I wanted something dark and with a little glitter and I wasn't the biggest fan of the combination so next time I'm going to have to try a different glitter on my accent nails. But this manicure consisted of:
