Hiiiiiii, I can't stop buying makeup

So I stopped in Sephora today to see what Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipsticks they had, only because I've been lusting over "Potion" for far too long, and low and behold it was one of the like 5 colors they stocked! So of course I bought it. (Ahem, happy early birthday to me!)

I haven't physically put it on my lips yet but I swatched it on my hand and it has yet to come off, shower and all.

I also hit up Nordstrom Rack because I heard they had some goodies for reaaaal cheap. AKA there was nothing good at the one close to me. BUT, I did grab the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer because I've been wanting to try it for like EVER and it was like $9. So, yes.

 

Good makeup day for me!

 



Lime Crime and Gerard Cosmetics

I'm turning 25 in 4 days and I'm having a quarter life crisis. AKA I can't stop buying makeup. In the past week or two I grabbed something from Gerard Cosmetics super sale and I was dying to try one of the new Lime Crime Perlees. Honestly, when I first saw all the colors there wasn't one that jumped out at me right away. I finally settled on "Asphalt" and I am SO glad I did.

It's, no lie, the same exact color that I just painted my walk in closet! It's long-wearing, matte, didn't dry my lips out and is a super unique color. They came out with "Lady" right after I bought this and I think I need that one too.

My new Gerard Cosmetics eyeliner is here also! Except I literally just got it when I walked into my house at 11:30 PM so I haven't had a chance to use it. I hope it lives up to all its hype!

 

and then I scooped these weird, strange, had-to-have-them lips MASKS! My lips are 24/7 EXTREMELY DRY from all the matte lipstick I wear so I really can't wait to try these. I also have a huge girl crush on Hanna Beth and preordered her new book, Covered in Glitter, a few weeks ago and that got here today too. To say I finished it in a half hour is not an exaggeration. It was an amazing read and made me respect her ten thousand times more than I already did. I would say 99.9% of my style has evolved and transformed from following Hanna for the last 8ish years. She is definitely my number one style icon!

Next weeks' my birthday and  all I asked for was lipstick and champagne! Let's see how that goes!

Mini Ulta Haul

I feel like every time I walk into Ulta for one thing, I leave with at least 4. I went in to get my trusty NYX eyeliner and left with 2 other things.

I'm a serious beginner at face makeup, (how? since I had classes on it at school, I'll never know) but I learned about this highlighting product from Benefit that is in a stick (solid) form with a blender tip on the other end. Also, it can be worn without any other makeup like foundation and powder and all that good stuff. I LOVE IT! So easy to use, so pretty, and gives the perfect amount of shiny sparkle to your face. Obsessed, really. Another thing I'm recently obsessed with, this Formula 10.0.6. brand. This moisturizer is PERFECT for someone who has skin like mine. (No blemishes but I get extra oily on my forehead/nose area towards the end of the day). It mattifies your face and makes your skin so soft and pretty much lasts till the end of my day. Then I got this mini Benefit eye primer which is amazing. It made my Colourpop eyeshadow stay on all night (then again, Colourpop products do NOT budge, but that's a good thing for me!) and just felt really nice and smooth vs. creamy/streaky which has happened to me before with some other eye primers.

I also just scooped the Eternal Eyeliner from my favorite liquid to matte lipstick brand, Gerard Cosmetics because they are having a super sale and I've heard amazing things about it! Can't wait to get that in the mail!

New Year, New Shoes

That title sounds so lame. Oh well! Anyways...I haven't really been buying any new shoes (shocker, really) because I've been so obsessed with my lipstick collection as of late. But for Christmas I got a couple pairs that I thought I'd share....

First up, my very first pair of Doc's, which I'm not sure how I haven't owned a pair of these yet. I for real wear them every day, even to my office job. (Hence why they're so disgusting looking!)

 

I also finally got my hands (feet!) on a pair of Dollskill's house brand, Current Mood, boots from my best friend for Christmas!

 

 And then, I actually won a contest on Tiltedsole, (a shoe contest, of course) and they gifted me with a $50 gift card. So I bought the Jeffrey Campbell Stormy rain boots which I've been eyeing for quite some time!

 



And I decided my 2016 New Year's resolution is to blog more! So here's to that.

New skin care

Trying out some new skin care products!

I've literally never used pore strips and I used one tonight and they are beyond disgusting! Also trying the Nip + Fab brand out. The glycolic cleanser was awesome and made my skin feel nice and tight. The dragon blood plumping mask can actually be worn over night so I'm going to sleep with that on tonight!  (totally bought it after seeing Kylie Jenner rave about it. I mean, her skin looks pretty damn good and this wasn't expensive so I'm hoping for the best! )

 

 

DEETZ

Everythings from Ulta!

Nip + Fab Glycolic Cleansing Fix

Formula 10.0.6 Down to the Pore

Nip + Fab Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Mask

Warped Tour Camden pt. 1

Okay seeing as I epically failed with this blog for the last couple months, I'm going try my hardest to keep up with it this time around and what better time to start again then Warped Tour! I go to Warped Tour in Camden every year so here's what I'm planning on wearing to keep cool and still look cute! (seeing as it's probably going to be 90+ degrees...)

 

 

 



 





DETAILS

Okay so the dress is from Free People (which I actually snagged at Buffalo Exchange for way cheap!)

leopard undies are actually just high waisted bathing suit bottoms

and

my the shoes are my new T.U.K. Double Double Viva Mondo's





Okay, so I'm going to try this whole blogging thing out. Bare with me people! I figured for my first post, I'd blog about my one true obsession..my shoe collection. So here it is in all of its glory!

 

 

 I'm going to try and make this blog an #OOTD type blog. Posting new shoes and outfits with all the details! Seeing as my birthday's in under two weeks, I'll definitely have some fun things to post! 

 

DETAILS

I'm a label snob so most of these are Jeffrey Campbell and UNIF, then I have a couple YRU's!

 

I snagged most of these off those websites, but other sites that I love for shoes that are super affordable are Tilted Sole, The Shoe Attic, and Karmaloop.
