Hey loves, just wanted to share you the makeup I wore to work a few days ago. It was another busy day at work and I didn`t want to do much at all. So I kept my makeup very simple and fresh faced.

Haul | Tarte

Hey loves, just stopping by to share with you another overdue post; this will be the first of many Sephora posts to come but I`m so behind on hauling that I wanted to take this time to catch up before the holidays were over. So months ago, maybe back in September, I was browsing online and saw the Tarte Coral Crush eye & cheek palette. I knew I needed this in my life; especially because it was beautiful packaging and because it was an online exclusive item. I still haven`t had a chance to use it. But it`s absolutely gorgeous. It`s such a great palette for everyday looks as well. It comes with 6 shadows, a blush, a highlighter and a bronzer. Definitely can`t wait to start using this in the upcoming months.

   

Lastly, I finally decided to pick up the Timeless 12-hour lipstick from the Aqualillies collection. I had been eyeing it for ages but I couldn`t makeup my mind if I needed it or not. But I finally broke down and bought it because it was the last one at my location. And I knew if I didn`t get it, I would of been completely devastated. I almost have the complete Aqualillies collection; I`m only missing the Smoother Operator powder. I still have a ton of it at my location and it`s online as well still. I doubt I will pick it up seeing I have a tone of setting powders but I might just give in over these next couple of weeks. If you have tried the Smooth Operator powder; what are your thoughts on it? Would you recommend it?

Haul | Sephora.com

Hey loves, just stopping by to share with you this long overdue http://Sephora.com haul. I swear I ordered this items way before Halloween and I`m just getting around to sharing them with you. I swear I love online shopping; but I hate waiting for things to arrive to me. But online has such a great selection of products that I can never find in store and I`m super happy I finally got my hands on these items. The first thing I had to get my hands on was the Lorac Pro palette. I`ve been wanting it ages; I feel like I`m the last person to get my hands on it. But I am such a huge fan of this brand and I have high hopes for this palette. I also picked up the small size of the Tantalizer Baked Bronzer. I thought this would make a great highlight color for my skin. As well I might be able to use it as all over face bronzer to warm up my complexion during these cold, sunless winter months.

  

The last thing I picked up was the Anastasia She Wears It Well palette. I`ve heard a lot of great thing about her shadows and I wanted to give them a try. I haven`t tried it out yet but they swatch beautifully and have great color payoff. I definitely can`t wait to try out another from this brand in the new year.

 

Definitely keep and eye out for posts and tutorials featuring these palettes in the New Year. They will be great and I can`t wait to show you the looks I come up these. What`s your favorite eyeshadow palette?

Weight Loss | Week 3 & 4

Hey loves, just stopping by with this super quick update. In the last 2 weeks I`ve only been able to go to the gym twice. We have had some ridiculously cold weather lately. We even had the weather go down to -29 Celsius. Even though the weather was completely garbage I was able to drop 2lbs! I think that`s so fabulous, especially since I have fallen in love with the Starbucks Egg Nog Latte. I`m really hoping the weather warms up a bit. So I can make it to the gym next week. But in the mean time I will work in doing some at home workouts and hopefully I will get some results from it.

Holiday Makeup | Rich Caviar

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you my second holiday makeup look. This one is featuring the Bobbi Brown Rich Caviar Eye Palette; it`s a very sexy seductive look with a kissable pink lip.

Black Friday Haul | Express

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you the few goodies I picked up from Express for Black Friday. Originally I wasn`t on doing any shopping but my mom sent me on a mission for her and I happy I did. I picked up my first set oh watches. I`m not a person to wear a watch but I asked for a Michael Kors watch so I thought I would get a couple I could wear on a more regular basis. Everything was 50% off, even on sale items. The first watch I got was the hot pink one. It was on sale for $59 and I couldn`t pass it up. I was only going to get the one but then I decided that I might as well get one that I could wear daily and went with the black one with gold accents.

 

 

 

The last thing I picked up were these glasses. I`ve been eyeing them since about my birthday which one August and I finally decided to get them. I love these type of frames but I always break them so I`m happy I got these on a great deal.

 

 

 

I wish I had picked up some clothes. But seeing I`m one weight loss journey; I didn`t want to buy something I wouldn`t be able to wear in a few months. Did you guys pick up anything from express?

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you my first purchase from Chanel. I picked up my first lipstick a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to get my hands on a bunch of the products from the holiday collection but I only ended up with one. The lipstick I decided to go with is Rouge Allure Velvet in 327 La Désirée. It`s such a beautiful deep red and I can`t wait to wear it. Hopefully I will get a chance to use it very soon. Where you able to pick up anything from this collection?

Haul | Drug Store Goodies

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you the new items I picked up. There are a lot of new things coming out and I couldn`t resist getting some a try. The first things I picked up were two new mascaras from Maybelline; which makes my favorite drug store mascaras ever! I got the The Colossal Smoky Eyes in Blackest Smoke and Blue Blaze. I definitely can`t wait to try out these and see how great they on my lashes. I haven`t seen or heard much about them but I`m excited to see the results. I also picked my first L`Oreal Colour Riche Smokey Eyes Quad in So Over It! I`ve been waiting ages to try one of these and I finally was able to decide on one I really liked.

   

 

Next I picked up two new lipsticks from Wet N Wild. I went with two shades that are perfect for Fall/Winter. The ones I went with are Spiked With Rum and Ravin` Raisin. I also was able to pick up my first Milani lipsticks. I`m a real huge fan of this brand and I`ve heard such great things about these lipsticks that I needed to add them to my collection. The colors I decided to go with were more vampy and great for this time of the year but aren`t limited to just Fall/Winter. The shades I went with are Plumrose, Uptown Mauve and Sangria.

 

Lastly, I picked up the Soap & Glory Hand Food. I`ve always heard good things about this brand and seeing the cold winter months are upon us and decided to it a try. My hands are becoming super dry and hopefully these will keep them super hydrated. I also picked up two new Essie polishes in Mind Your Mittens and Sable Collar.

   

I`m definitely excited to try out all these new goodies out and incorporate these in my daily makeup. Have you guys had a chance to try out any of these items yet?

Makeup No Buy!!

Hey loves, just wanted to stop by and share with you my current makeup no buy. So starting today, December 1, 2013; I am no longer to buy any makeup. I honestly have a ridiculously large collection and I need to get threw it. My goal is not to buy any makeup until I buy a car. Which is hopefully not too long, I`m hoping by April but the latest is June. I definitely think I can do that. But there will be some exceptions, like when I go to Vegas and Baltimore for visits I will love to do a little damage because the States have such great prices. 

While doing this no buy I`m going to update you on products I`ve hit pan on as well as finished. This no buy includes both beauty and skincare. During this time as well I will be working on reviews and letting you know what I think of the products I used up. Hopefully doing this will give me a chance to rediscover products that I loved in the past. And just a quick little heads up well, I`ve shopped a lot in the past couple of weeks and I haven`t shared them with you yet. So I will still be posting a lot of hauls from now to the new year but it isn`t anything brand new or anything like that.
