Lust Haves ♥

I'm in the midst of packing up (moving) but I wanted to do a post about a few items I am lusting at the moment. The holiday season is right around the corner (black Friday is the Friday after this coming one, wonder if the sales will be good?!) and I'm making my wish list. Here are a few things I have come across that I really would like to try out, this post will be somewhat random so bear with me :)

(all product images found on google image search)
Urban Decay Naked Palette $44 USD - I have to have this. This product has been raved about by all beauty gurus who were lucky enough to get it while it was in stock. It is not limited edition, so don't worry if you can't get it right when they stock back up, it isn't going anywhere!

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer $42 USD - I think this would be nice for day's when I don't want to wear foundation but still want an even skin tone (Which happen to be most days for me). It has great reviews. One con I already see is the price, very expensive for a tinted moisturizer.

Laura Mercier Loose Powder $34 USD - I've seen plenty of beauty gurus use this product and say it's great. Its translucent so you don't have to worry about picking the right shade. The reviews on Sephora are all pretty much rave reviews, they claim you can just use this alone and it will even out your skin tone. I really want this setting powder.


Nars Sheer Glow Foundation $42 - This is a must have product for me once I get past the price tag. I tried this while I was visiting my sister, and I absolutely loved it! It give my skin such a pretty glow, it didn't feel heavy at all, and it was easy to apply and blend out just by using my fingers.

Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick Set $28 USD - I happened to see this while browsing Sephora's site. I think the shade's in this set look amazing and are such a great combination, those all look like wearable shades (for my skin tone at least, some may complain about them being too dark) . I think this a great holiday set and a great way to add colors you may not have in your collection without breaking the bank buying them all individually.


Moving on. . .

I was browsing Kim K's blog and came across these photos she posted about a new hair chain she designed for her new line Belle Noel for Pascal Mouawad. I think this is really cute. I read some of the comments and some people posted they thought that it wouldn't be a hit, and that they thought it would be too heavy/damaging to the hair. What do you think?

So what are some products you ladies are lusting over right now?

Fall Trend ; Plum Lippies *

As I was browsing in Ulta about a week ago I noticed all NYX products were BOGO 50 % off, seeing as I don't need any new eyeshadows right now I figured I'd pick up some new lippies. For some reason I was very drawn to the darkest lipstick I saw, Medusa.

Medusa is a beautiful deep plum lipstick, if you have ever tried NYX round lipsticks you would know that the formula on these are very pleasing. When you apply these lipsticks it's almost as if your applying chap stick. There is no drying feel, just smooth gliding.

I picked up another round lipstick as well, Peach. In this case the name does not really suit the color, but I thought the shade was beautiful. It's somewhat of a medium rosy shimmery color.

these were just random trying on my new lipstick . . .

Plum shades are very beautiful for the fall season. . . not to mention, trendy! Take a look at a few celebs and models rocking plum shades . .



So push away those nudes and pinks and come on over to the dark side ;)

Weekend Recap

Hey ladies.

I hope everyone had a great weekend, and Monday! This past weekend was pretty much a girls getaway weekend for me. I visited one of my friend's who lives in a city near me and we went out to a very nice little restaurant/dance club. It was the kinda atmosphere that makes you feel good just being there. Dimmed lights, old movie playing on a big screen, DJ playing all your favorite songs, candle lit tables and booths, dance floor, great food and drinks. So needless to say we had a great night talking, eating, and dancing!

The next day followed up with visiting the State Fair (NC). All of you know about the fair and the wonderful joys it entails I'm sure. Turkey legs, candy apples, freshly squeezed lemonade, funnel cakes, Philly cheese steaks ... ok enough of the food.. haha, rides, animals, crafts, pig races, very strange things to see most of them being a hoax (mermaid girl, rabbit with two heads, etc.).

I loved my weekend, here are some pictures I was able to snap ! :)

Tried to self-portrait my outfit! haha.

My friend and her hubby had just got a new kitten that day!

Us at the amazing restaurant/dance place

Fratira's dinner, Greens, Mashed potatoes, and Filet Mignon... Delicious!

Wings, they were soooo good!

Yummy Mixed Drinks

At Cracker Barrel for breakfast

exactly what I was talking about when I said seeing different things at the fair. . . this lady didn't look happy at all to be in there... but then again I can understand why. I honestly only wanted to see cause I thought it was fake (actually wasn't though). Still not sure If i believe she IS actually the smallest woman in the world . . .

So I hope you enjoyed my post, Until next time

Update on my Baby Girl!

Hey Ladies, sooo when I was gone I obviously left out on keeping all of those interested updated on how my little one is doing! Kailei turned one this month, on the 2nd. It seems as if the time flew! I can't believe that my little baby has grown so big and seems to do new things every day now!

Her hair curls like this just by me twirling my fingers around her hair, lucky girl!

This was Kailei on her birthday in the photo above!

Little Chunk!

The picture above was actually taken today, we both love the park!

Trying to drink my coke, wasn't open though ;)

A few milestones Kailei has reached since my last post of her:

2 bottom front teeth!
Crawling
Walking!
Saying more syllables
Shakes her head "No"
Claps her hands


Wow right?! She is my angel 0-:)
Hope you enjoyed this post of her and pictures as much as me !

MAC Flirt & Tease Blush

A couple of weeks ago I was on the search for a new blush, can't say I'm not still looking for the perfect one. . . but I did find one that was nice for now.

I went to the MAC Counter after I saw a YT Guru use Flirt & Tease blush. I loved the way it looked on her in the video. I like the way it looks on myself as well but it's nothing too different from my Bare Minerals blush in "True". They both look a lot the same (Sorry I didn't take a picture of that blush for this post but it is somewhere on my blog already).















So Flirt & Tease is a sheertone shimmer blush. It looks somewhat dark in the pan, reminiscent of a beautiful shade of plum. Applied it is exactly what it says, sheer and shimmery the color applied comes off somewhat rosy gold with a hint of plum. Overall I'm satisfied with this blush I think I'm just on the search for one that it is a little more matte and not so sheer. I'm sure I'll reach for this blush plenty though, I have been ever since I bought it everyday I apply my makeup. The good thing about it is it goes well for an everyday look, not overpowering at all.

Any recommendations for a good blush??
