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!

Mini ULTA Haul

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all having an amazing Saturday today!  My mom and I did a little shopping yesterday, and of course I had to stop at ULTA while we were out!  I had a 20% off coupon that I received in the mail, and usually their coupons like that don't count towards "high end" makeup brands (Bare minerals, Urban Decay, etc), but this one did!  I only picked up a few things, but some of them I'm super excited about!

NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Powder Foundationin 01 Ivory

I've never tried this NYX product before, so there will be a review coming eventually!

Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover Pads

BareMinerals Matte SPF15 Foundationin Fairly Medium

Jergens Natural Glow Firming Moisturizerfor Fair to Medium skin tones

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Facial Moisturizerfor Fair to Medium skin tones

I also purchased the NYX Cosmetics Concealerin Beige and a NYX Trio Eye Shadowwith the colors Aloha, Mink Brown and Deep Bronze.  The pictures for these products would not import from iPhoto and my camera died! ( I didn't bring my charger home...#bloggerfail)  

ULTA is having some awesome deals right now, along with the 20% off coupon, they have sales on certain brands.  Jergens products were buy one get one 50% off.  Some NYX products were also on sale!  Also, if you purchase a BareMinerals foundation you get a free sample of their Flawless Definition Mascara also (I gave mine to my mom).

Have you gotten anything new lately?

Well...not really! But it is my blog's birthday--it's 3 months old today :)  These past 3 months have been so much fun for me, and it's all because I get the opportunity to talk to all of you everyday.  My blog has grown so much so quickly, I have over 260 followers, in just 3 months.  That is incredible!! Thank you all SO much, its hard to believe that many people care about what I have to say on here.  

So as a "blog birthday" present, I want you all to do me a favor.  Leave a comment telling me what you want to see more of--reviews, get the looks, fashion trends, organization, anything!  I want to do posts that you all want to read! :)

Sunday Smiles: Fierce Braids, Spring Flowers, Hello Kitty House

Hey everyone!

Happy Sunday to you all!  I'm so sorry that my blogs have been slacking lately, I've been super busy with school and getting ready for tests next week.  It's so close to summer for me, only 5 weeks! It can't come soon enough!! :)  Anyway, my Sunday will be filled with nothing exciting--it's a day of cleaning and homework for me today.  But, ABC Family has some amazing movies on today so hopefully it will keep me occupied for a while ;)  To brighten your mood (hopefully), here are some things that are making me smile today:

I saw this green dress and immediately fell in love--it's so adorable!

I need your opinion--what do you think about this Hello Kitty house? Too much or too amazing? ;)

 I'm in LOVE with this wedding picture--Katniss Everdeen bride anyone?

Spring has finally sprung--and these flowers are the perfect decoration to celebrate!

Here's a laugh to start your week off right:

And finally, an 'inspirational' quote to keep you smiling for a happy Monday :)

I hope you all enjoyed!

What's making you smile today?

Style Icon: Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn was and still is a style icon to girls and women everywhere.  She was a true beauty and she was able to make simple and classy extremely chic until the day she died.  Audrey liked clean cut lines with solid colors, like black, white, pink and red.  She wore few patterns, only stepping out in plaid and stripes occasionally.  Another signature item Audrey wore was a hat, and wether it is big or small, the accessory always made the outfit just the right amount of showy.

Much Love <3
