Shopping Overhaul!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I haven't written a post in a while and I figured it was time to do an overhaul of some of the recent purchases I've made while shopping.

First, let me show some super cute shoes I've snatched up!

                                       Call it Spring wedges

                                           JCPenney  $10


                                        Color- grayish taupe


Review: I love these shoes! They are a somewhat higher wedge, but will be great for skinny jeans or dress.
They were originally marked down to $10, but with my $10 JCP reward I got them for free. Nothing better than a free pair of cute shoes!


Rampage Brown Boots       Rampage Gray Quirky Boot                 Dexter Tan Wedge

Bon-Ton  $10                           Bon-Ton $10                                        Payless $19.99

Both pair of boots have wedge heels and are extremely comfortable. The tan wedges are also very comfortable and I can't wait for warmer weather to wear them with a cute pair of skinny jeans!

                                        While at the Bon-Ton I also found this really cute jewerly!

The Bon-Ton is having a winter clearance sale where a great deal of things are 80% off and that's why I got the two pair of boots so cheap! Anyone that's looking for cute boots, I'd advise you to check out your local Bon-Ton!

I also did a little online shopping and picked up some NYX Matte lipstick pictured below:

                               NYX Matte lipsticks in Tea Rose, Sierra, and Strawberry Daiquiri
                                                                     ULTA  $5.99

Review: The lipsticks go on very smooth and have great pigmented color. Out of these three, Tea Rose is my favorite, which goes on like a nice neutral pink. Sierra and Strawberry Daiquiri are quite similar with orange tints, but I also enjoy them. I plan on getting other colors soon to try, share, and then review.

I hope everyone has a great day! I'm sure more shopping overhauls and reviews of makeup products are to come soon!

Mattes, shimmers, neutrals, Oh My!

Happy Wednesday to all!

        So I have to share with everyone that I finally gave in and got the Urban Decay Naked Palette and I love it! I decided to go with just the Naked palette because I love neutrals and I'm so glad that I finally purchased it.

Here is a picture of the colors within the palette:

Urban Decay Naked Palette
Sephora  $50

There are 12 shadows within this palette with some that are
matte and others have a nice shimmer.
The colors are nicely pigmented and go on smooth
with the shadow brush provided.

I haven't tried all of the shadows yet, but as of right now my favorites are Virgin (#1-matte), Sin (#2-shimmer), Buck (#4-matte), Half Baked (#5-shimmer gold), and Darkhorse (#8-shimmer dark brown).

The shadows Smog (#7-shimmer), Toasted (#9-shimmer), Hustle (#10-matte), and Creep (#11-shimmer black) are very pretty shadows that I will definitely try for a darker eye for a night out.

            After a little grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, I glanced through the beauty aisles and also picked up a few Wet n Wild products. I found that the Wet n Wild eyeshadows are so pigmented and smooth for a drugstore palette and if I hadn't just purchased the Naked palette I would have definitely purchased one! Instead I thought I would try one of their blush products and a single eyeshadow (on a side note, it is very likely I will go back for the Wet n Wild palette sooner than later).

Wet n Wild Pearlescent Pink Blush

              not quite $3.00

*goes on very pink, so less is definitely more


Wet n Wild Coloricon single eyeshadow  in Nutty

               not quite $2.00

*haven't tried it yet, but the swatch on my arm looked like a pretty satin brown taupe with nice shimmer and pigment



So those are my favorite new makeup products that I'm very excited to try out and experiment with!

Stay tuned, I have an order of NYX lipsticks and mascara that should be delivered to my house tomorrow!

Leave comments if you please :)

Have a good day everyone!

Peace and love,

Bring some bling into your life!

Happy Monday everyone!

Although I didn't do a whole lot of shopping this past weekend, I did get a few jewelry pieces to add to my collection.

American Eagle is one of my favorite places to frequent for the essential cardigans, jeans, jeggings, and so much more, but I'm really starting to love some of the jewelry! So when I went in Saturday I purchased some super cute earrings! I also finally received jewelry that I purchased online from Charlotte Russe, which I also let you guys see!

As of late, I'm really loving big, fancy jewelry and I hope this is some inspiration for you guys to experiment and find the right accessories for yourself!

Feel free to leave comments!

Check back soon to check out my review of some new makeup, a great new pair of shoes, and some great ways to bring organization into your beautiful life!

Charlotte Russe Diamond
Trim Ring $5.00
I wore this ring Saturday night with the
feather earrings below to a party and
they matched great!
Paired the ring and earrings with a black
blazer and floral cami and I was ready
for a great night!

AE Disc Feather Earrings
$15.50

Love these earrings! They looked
cute for my Saturday night
party and are now one of my favorite
accessories!

AE Honeycomb Earrings $12.50
&
Charlotte Russe ring $5.00

I'm wearing these today with
a teal sweater and floral scarf
and I love them both! The ring
is not a stretchy band, so be
sure to choose the appropriate
size.

Daily Beauty Essentials

        I might as well start this blog off right with another post! Today, I've decided to blog about some of the essential beauty products I use everyday (some old and some new).

        I am all about trying different brands of products, as you will below with the mixture of products that I use daily and absolutely love! Today's post will focus a new product I just purchased and some of the essential eye shadows I use daily.

After applying my Sephora foundation, these are usually the products that I will use:

                          NYX HD Photogenic Concealer

                                    ULTA  $5

                                    Review:

             I love this concealer! Some of you may be wondering why the concealer is green and that's because a green concealer is great for concealing red blemishes/spots. My recommendation is to only use a tiny amount on spots because it does apply quite bright, but after applying a skin tone concealer and powder, the green is hidden perfectly.

The concealer can be purchased through this link:

NYX Nude on Nude Palette

Purchased from nyxcosmetics.com $12


                                                Review:

        I use this palette everyday! The colors are great neutrals and go with almost any outfit you're trying to match with! The shades are all nicely pigmented, with lighter pinks and golds for lids and darker browns and black for creases. The entire palette is a must-have!

Lorac "Ooh La Lace"
Sephora  $36
Ooh La Lace is another great neutral
palette with even more pigmented and
shimmery shades than the NYX palette. 

Lorac "Star Struck"
Sephora  $26
Star Struck is a great palette for brown
eyes because of the great pink shades.
I use the medium pink for my lid, the
dark pink for crease and outer corner
and the lightest pinkish white for
the brow bone and inner corner.

        So these are some of the eye shadow palettes that I use daily, but there are many more I would love to share and discuss, so keep checking in! In the future, I also want to share my daily make up remover routine, lipsticks, purses, etc. so stay tuned!

Peace and love!

         First, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Kayla and I'm 23 years old. I have a BS in Business Management, and currently help to manage two businesses that my boyfriend owns. I love the business world and everything it entails!


         Although I have an incredible love of business, I enjoy shopping even more! Clothes, makeup, jewelry, and purses are just some of my must-haves! I love sharing with everyone what my last shopping trip consisted of, so I thought I could start a blog to share my purchases, give some reviews, and even suggest some recommendations.


I hope you enjoy and can find some inspiration for yourself!


Yesterday I splurged in some retail therapy, so here's an overhaul of some things I got!

Feather earrings from JCPenney


On sale for $6.00




When worn, the earrings hit a little below the neck.




Look super cute with a hair updo!

                             Maybelline Lipstick in "Nearly There"- 205                                                                        

                                 
                                                   Walmart around $5
                                       
             
                                     
                                          Review:
             The "Nearly There" lipstick is a very pretty shade that goes on fairly smooth. It can be considered a neutral lipstick with some shimmer. The lipstick does have a slight unpleasant smell/taste, but overall I like it and will use it. I've found this lipstick to be a dupe for Mac's Viva Glam V. 

Sephora Foundation Powder in Medium


Purchased from Sephora $20




                                          Review:
      I absolutely love this powder! It has great coverage, while being lightweight at the same time. Application is very smooth and goes on great with a large powder brush. I use my NYX Make-up Artist Brush that is quite large with soft bristles.




Along with these few items, I got an "all over shadow" small brush from Sephora that is perfect for eyeshadows in a large palette or individual palette.


I also ordered some jewelry from JCPenney and Charlotte Russe online and I'm expecting them soon, so expect another post soon!


Have a great day everyone!


Shop often,
