MALL HAUL!

I went shopping! Yay! So I made a day of it to go shopping and spend some of my birthday money. I hit up a few stores with my mom in the Valley River Center mall in Eugene, Oregon...we need to go back because I forgot to check out Charlotte Russe! Can you believe it?! OK, anyhoo...Here's the stuff I got!

First, we went to Sephora. We got there so early nothing else was open yet. :(

The first thing I got was foundation. The consultant matched my skin in a Lorac foundation and applied it to my face so I could see if I liked it. Then, she told us that really I should just get the Sephora brand because a. it was cheaper, and b. she didn't think I needed Lorac since I am only 16. I liked her opinion! Lorac was $36 and this was $10!

She also matched me in this concealer and applied in to my face. I love it! I have seen other beauty gurus use it and I was actually planning on buying it anyways...and seeing it in person made me think no different! It's amazing!

While I was there, the consultant asked me what I use to clean my face. I told her I used an apriocot scrub and she wasn't surprised. Most the people use that thinking it's good...but it's actually not! She said it was too abrasive for my skin and that if I was going to use a scrub to make sure the scrubbies (what I call the balls in the wash) are more sphreical. She set me up with this cleanser. So far I really like it!

Next, I went to Victoria's Secret with a coupon in hand!

I had a $10 off coupon, so I ended up getting this spring/summer football jersey shirt. Love it!

I also got this lipgloss with my free lipgloss coupon!

Right now they are handing out these rewards cards that have one of four amounds of money on them. When you get to a check out you see how much is on it and will save money on your buy! Woohoo! Can't wait to go back and see what's on it! I saw a nice little hoodie I'd like to buy without having to spend $80!

Last but not least, I had to go to Forever 21! I'd never been!

OK, so I need a new camera...but anyways...I got these super cute black shorts! All the sizes at these stores are like European so I had to figure out mine..but they had it! They fold up at the bottom and I love them so much! They were only like $11!

Next I got jewelry. A Cameo necklace, vintage blue necklace, and feather earrings. Both the necklaces are shorter styled. Love them! Can't wait to wear them with something casual!

My mom bought these for me! Aren't they cute? They are Hello Kitty tissues! She said they reminded her of me ;)

So I cannot wait to go back and check out these stores some more! Especially Forever 21! I'm so glad I went! Please check out my YouTube channel! I finally got my video of a bronzer review up! I didn't figure out my new programs...but atleast I got it up! http://www.youtube.com/fashionistaemilea

China Glaze Review/Houndstooth For Winter?

Finally doing my China Glaze order review. I ordered four polishes from SallyBeauty.com(Sally Beauty Supply)...

Everything that came...


Colors Left to Right:
In Awe of Amber, Liquid Leather, Spontaneous, Long Kiss


Not sure why, but they also sent me little bottles of "oil treatment" for my hair...I guess you put it in and it relieves friziness...haven't tried it yet, but I'll keep updated with it!


China Glaze is great! I'm so glad I bought it on sale though! It can be super pricey when it's the normal price. The second thing I wanted to talk about was some Winter trends...I'm going to put up a poll about what you think about Houndstooth. This morning I was watching "Watch What Happens Live" from Bravo(the channel with all the housewives LOL) and they were asking a fashion guru if they thought Houndstooth would come back. I mean, I love houndstooth, but personally, I kind of don't want it to come back. Maybe next winter season...I've just seen it so much! Personally, I would love to see a new pattern, maybe plaid, although we do have a lot of that too...So what do you think? Answer my poll! I'll put it right under my "About Me"!

Halloween Products Haul

Only 4 days until Halloween starting tomorrow! If you are in need of some last minute ideas for costumes/make-up I have some money and time savers for you. I'm not going to list ideas for costumes necessarily, but if you need some places to get costumes/Halloween products, that is what this blog post is about.

Today I picked up some Halloween makeup kits at Fredmeyer for only $4.99. It was also buy one/get one half off("BOGOHO" or "BOGO") I got two because I'm helping with a Halloween event on Friday, and then obviously for Halloween on Sunday. I'm going as a glam-witch(how original ;) ) So I wanted things with rhinestones and sparkles. The kits I picked up are by "Fantasy Makers"(from the creators of "wet'n wild")Both kits come with fake eyelashes, nail polish, a two-color eyeshadow pallet, and lip stick. It really is a full kit and should be easy and fun to use!

I didn't know there was such a costume/character as "Vampire's Mistress" LOL


Up close of "Vampire's Mistress". Love the purple colors in it.


Up close of "Vamp Vixen" I think I'm going to use these eyelashes with the purple makeup from "Vampire's Mistress" :)


Hope this helps! I made my arty cardy! Just need to get pictures. I have personally been super busy this week with last minute Halloween stuff and school...
