Back for the Summer?

Hey everyone!!

Of course I've missed all of my beautiful followers so much. You may be reading this because you were directed from my video, or you may be reading it because you follow my blog, which is even better! As you may know I have begun posting videos on youtube again. I am doing this because I absolutely love making videos and I missed it so much. I stopped making videos this year because I knew I had to focus on school and on my family, because youtube really does take a great deal of time. I did not want to be just posting videos every other month, so I decided to take a hiatus. I did not want to post my first video explaining why I was gone because I thought it would be a waste a video and I could just direct you guys here. I hope to constantly be making videos this summer and I hope to get some great feedback from you guys.

I love you all very much.

Tory Burch Makeup Bag

My wonderful sister got me this pink and orange patent Tory Burch Makeup Bag. Its available at Saks, but I'm not sure if they still have this color combo. I know they have it in black and blue I think.



Now I dont keep makeup in this bag. I put it in my schoolbag to keep small things that I dont want floating around.
Here are the usual things in it:








My Phone: I honestly dont know the name or anything...but its an HTC smartphone haha
Altoids: hmmm why do I carry these with me. They are too strong for my taste, but maybe I'm hoping I can offer them out to other people haha
Perfume Adomizer: Is that even what its called? Well anyways, thats the little silver thing laying there. It holds my J-Lo Perfume in Live. It smells really sweet but I love it
Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitizer: The scent is market apple. It smells amazing and comes in handy at school.
LUSH Smitten Hand Cream: This kinda smells gross....BUT IT FEELS AMAZING
Notepad: This isnt always in there...just when I'm shopping and stuff to keep me on task

NOT PICTURED:
MY kate spade card holder...Ill probably put it in another post. It holds my credit card, gift cards, license, and cash!!


What is in your makeupbag/pouch thingy

Current Product Obsessions 1/9

I dont have too many obsessions right now. I didnt want to write about something I didnt ABSOLUTELY love. I'm kinda in between liquid and powder foundations right now.
enjoy.x




MakeupForever Camouflage Concealer Palette
I absolutely love the peach color for undereyes. I use it almost everyday as you can tell from the picture.
These concealers are SOOO CREAMY. But the weird thing is that some of them are more creamy than others...Idk how I feel about that haha.
In the summer I use the middle color, and in the winter I use the right two colors. Sometimes I blend the green into the concealers to not make it too opaque green.
The great thing about this is that it stays all day, its good coverage, and it has every color for all year round.



Lip Combination: Revlon Apricot Fantasy + Revlon Pink Pout (#120+#002)
I always apply the pearl finish Apricot Fantasy first because Pink Pout it a matte, so I love the layering affect it gives me. I also feel like the apposing colors or peach and bright pink combine to give you the perfect color. It has so much dimension to it and its not like any other color you can get with just one lipstick.
Even if you dont own these lipsticks, I really recommend layering lipsticks to try and find your favorite combination. and if you already have one...Let ME KNOW!!

LUSH: Buy One Get One Sale

Lush: Buy One Get One Sale!!











Lush is/was having a B1G1 sale on all of their soaps and all of their christmas goods!

When I managed to get to my store they still had a lot of gifts left.

From my wonderful boyfriend, I had already received two gift sets from lush and a soap gift set ---> there will be another post on those coming up soon. Because of this I didn't want to go crazy because I knew it would take me forever to go through everything.

The two sets I got were Chillin with my Gnomeys and the Good Karma set. One was fifteen dollars and one was sixteen...so overall a good deal.

Now....Heres the catch. I promised myself I would not open these until I was done with all of the gifts from my boyfriend, but I just wanted to show you ladies the pictures of the beautiful wrap, and the card that says whats inside. I'm super stoked to try out these products.

Let me know if you've tried any of these.
ALSOOO let me know if you work at lush or you know anyone who does...I WOULD LOVE TO WORK THERE. I plan on majoring in chemistry in college and I would love to mix up new products or create new things. MMM sounds like heaven to me!
