Bath and Body Works Haul: Semi-Annual Sale!

Hey everyone!!

It seriously feels like forever since I've been able to talk to all of you!  I know a week and a half is a LONG time to go without a post, and I've missed you guys!! As you know (if you've been reading my blogs) I'm pretty busy in the summer with work and summer courses at a local college.  But, I have the day off today and tomorrow so I'm going to be stocking up on blog posts for you all!  

Anyway, if you're as in LOVE with Bath & Body Works as I am, you probably know this week was their Semi-Annual Sale--they had huge sales on things!  I went the first day two hours after they opened and there were already things I wanted that were gone!  I didn't need much, since I did a Bath & Body Works Haul not too long ago, but I had to go and check out some of the deals!  I didn't come away with as much damage done as I thought I would, but here's what I did pick up!

As I'm sure most of you know, I'm addicted to the Bath and Body Works candles from Slatkin & Co, which were on sale (most scents but not all) for $10, of half off!  And if you read my May Favorites post, you know that I've been absolutely obsessed with the Lemon Mint Leaf candle.  Unfortunately, when I got there, they didn't have any of them left in the 3-wick size!  I was so sad, but instead I settled for a couple of the mini-sized candles in that scent for only $2 each.  I also picked up a Black Berry Grapefruit candle.  It was only $10 and I'm burning it right now as I type and it smells incredible.  I also grabbed a Coconut Lime Verbena scented candle because it smells so fresh and clean--it's a great bathroom scent!

Then, I picked up a Wild Citrus Sunflower shower gel for only $3, as well as a Nectarine Mint hand sanitizer for $3 as well.

Finally, I picked up two of their foaming hand soaps.  These are my favorite--I love to have a stock pile of them and switch out my scents every so often.  I picked up Kitchen Lemon and Fresh Picked Raspberries for $3 each, and they are both PERFECT for the summertime!

So, there it is!  Like I said, I didn't go crazy and buy a ton of things but I did pick up some fun goodies for myself since there was such incredible deals :)  

I'm off to clean my room then work on some more blogs so I don't end up going this long without a post again! 

 If you bought anything from this sale, make sure to leave it in the comments!

May 2012 Favorites!

Hey everyone!

Make sure you all go enter my giveaway!  It ends June 4, which is coming up SO soon!! You can win lots of goodies from Bath and Body Works, NYX and Maybelline!  

Can you believe it's the end of May already?! It's officially June, which means it is time for a May favorites post!  I don't usually do 'favorites' posts, but this month I've discovered a ton of new products that I love, so I have to share! :)

My first favorite for the month is my new Conair You Curl XL Wand.  If you all have read my Conair Hot Rollers Review, you know that the wand was never really my thing.  But now that I've broken down and bought one, I love it.  It takes a little longer than hot rollers or a regular curling iron, but I really like the way it makes my hair look.  I got mine at ULTA for about $27.

Next is all of my makeup favorites.  I will have reviews of most of these coming soon--so I'm just going to go over them quickly!  

First is Benefit's Erase PasteConcealer.  I'm obsessed with this, it works so well under my eyes.  It's extremely creamy and blends so well with my skin!  Mine is in the color Medium.

Next is Covergirl's Lashblast 24 Hour Mascara in the color Very Black.  I'm not usually a huge Covergirl fan, but when it comes to their mascaras, I'm obsessed.  This literally does stay on for 24 hours but it still comes off with a normal makeup remover (you don't have to use waterproof makeup remover).

As you all know, I love NYX cosmetics and neutral eyes, so when I ran out of my NYX Trio Eyeshadow with Aloha, Mink Brown and Deep Bronze (which I'm giving away one of HERE!!),  I ran to ULTA and picked up this one in the color set "Dune".  It's the perfect shimmery neutral palette for summertime and I'm loving it SO much!

Now the Maybelline blush is actually something I've had for about a year now.  I just found it when I was cleaning out my makeup and started using it, falling back in love with it!  It's in the color "Pinch o' Pink".  It's such a cute pink color for a little rosiness on your cheeks for summer nights, with a little shimmer in it as well!

The only nail polish I've been using lately is essie's 790 A Crewed Interest from their A Spring to Invest In collection.  It's such a pretty, light peach color that looks good on all skin tones!

Finally, I couldn't forget to mention the Maybelline Baby Lips products!  The one pictured is the clear one, Quenched, but I also love Pink Punch and Peach Kiss.  If you enter my giveaway, I'm also giving one of these away! :)  They're super moisturizing and perfect for the summer months.  They also have SPF in them, so they protect and moisturize at the same time!

I only have one favorite left, and it's my favorite of all favorites!  It's my Lemon Mint Leaf candle from Bath and Body Works.  If you follow me on twitter then you know I've been tweeting about it nonstop since I bought it!  It literally makes your room smell like a sweet yummy lemonade stand!  The mint isn't super noticeable, but it helps to even out the super sweet lemon smell!  I'm seriously obsessed, I need to stock up on them!

I hope you all enjoyed!
