Haul: Bath & Body Works and Ulta

I did a little shopping today, and thought I would share with you what I got.

Let's start with Bath & Body Works. Today they held a special event for the release of their new scent Paris Amour. During this event with any signature item purchase you got a free gift. The free gift is amazing, but we'll get to that.

 

Of course my signature item choice was the

 Paris Amour fragrance mist.

I absolutely love this scent.

                                                     

 This is the free gift.

A very cute pink makeup bag.

 I love the little Eiffel Tower charm.

And what was in the bag?

 A full size lotion of the newest scent Charmed life!

Let me tell you this scent...

AMAZING!

This is how B&BW describes the scent.

"A positively sexy blend of juicy guava, sparkling pear,

and creamy vanilla musk, inspired by taking chances,

having fun and savoring life's fabulous moments."

There isn't anything about this scent that I dislike.

The next stop was Ulta. 

Of couse I can't take a trip to Ulta without making 

some kind of NYX purchase.

So I picked up a lipstick.

I chose Summer Love.

Summer Love is a nice nude lipstick

(what other color would I go for?)

I think I swatched about every NYX lipstick 

while in the store, and probably stood in the

NYX section for a good 20 min...as I usually do.

Finally I spotted Summer Love, and fell in love.

 

After I finally made up my mind on the lipstick

I started wandering around the store.

I found a section of Ulta brand products that were marked down.

Of course I had to stop!

I found this really pretty nail polish.

It's a gold color, and it's gorgeous!

It's the exact kind of color I have been wanting.

So that's it! 

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope you were also 

able to get into Bath & Body Works today!

Haul: Bath & Body Works

So today I went to Bath & Body Works. I went there looking for one thing, but of course like most of my trips to B&BW I always find more to buy than I went there for. So I thought I would share with you what I bought. Normally I would do this as a video, but I only got a few things so it wasn't worth it to me to turn the camera on. Anyway..lets get to the haul!

 The goods.

 The first thing I got was a Scentportable. I love these!

I like to put them in my car for an air freshener, and they last a really long time.

I'm not really the kind of girl to be into skulls and things like that, but the scent with this one

is frosted cupcake. Which is one of my favorites!

So I had to get it, and it's pink with a cute little bow. 

=)

 Next I got a PocketBac in Vanilla Berry Sorbet.

This is one of their newer scents, and it smells so good!

I love it.

 I also got another Pocketbac in Japanese Cherry Blossom.

This has been one of my favorites for awhile.

I love this scent in the hand soap, and I'm really surprised 

I've never had the pocketbac before.

This scent is great though.

Highly recommend it.

And now the reason for my trip.

The preview for the new scent Paris Amour.

I can not begin to tell you how excited I am for this scent!

I love anything Paris. So when I heard about this scent I of course got excited.

I've been hoping that when I finally got the chance to smell it that I would like it.

I am very happy to say this scent is AMAZING!

I believe the full collection comes out August 15, and you can bet I'll be buying the entire collection.
That packaging for this scent is beautiful!


So that's it' That was my little haul.
Wasn't much but I am very pleased with everything
I purchased today.

Haul: Kmart, Target, Bath & Body Works

First I want to say I know I have been completely slacking on blogging. I have been busy with work, and just life. Usually by the time I get home all I want to do is relax. I will try  to get back to it very soon though! Until then I hope you enjoy my latest video!

4th of July!

 

(more pictures below)

So this year for the 4th of July Adam and I did basically nothing, and it was great! We hung out around home, grilled out a couple times, and went to the lake. Even though we didn't have a big get together or anything we still had a lot of fun just having timing together. Adam and I feel like we don't see much of each other lately so it was nice to not have to share him with anyone. I just uploaded a vlog to my youtube channel and it will be posted below. I hope you all had a great holiday as well!

Adam even surprised me with 2 yummy cupcakes!

The one of the left is S'mores & the other is Peanut butter!

YUM!

Review: Sally Hansen Crackle

 

So while at Ulta the other day I was looking at nail polish. I went there looking for a certain color, and I found it. Then I spotted the Sally Hansen Crackle polishes. I quickly picked one up and put my first color choice back on the shelf. I put myself on a spending limit for this trip so I couldn't purchase both. I was very excited to finally get my hands on a crackle nail polish. I can't tell you how many videos I've seen and how many blogs I've read where people are going crazy over this kind of polish. I just had to try it to see what all the hype was about.  I was so excited when I got home that I just had to try it out. So I put a coat over the polish I already had on. Which was China Glaze For Audrey in case you were wondering. I loved watching it  crackle, and fell in love with it! 

Later that night I took off my polish and did them all over. This time I chose Shocking Pink by China Glaze. Hot pink and black is my favorite color combo ever! So again I was very excited. I waited for the pink color to dry, and then began using my crackle nail polish. I loved it....at first. 

I feel like you have to work really fast, because it starts to crackle almost instantly. You also don't get much product on the brush...or at least not as much as I wanted. I was fine with my end result and I liked it. Which brings us to today...which was day 2. I kept looking on my nails not really sure what to think about it. The excitement wore off and I'm pretty much over it. I'm disappointed with the application of this polish and how sloppy it ended up looking. I think this crackle look looks great, but I don't think it's for me. I do plan on trying it again with a different color under it, but for now I don't think this look is for me.

My Latest Addiction...

COTTON CANDY!!!

I don't know what it is, but I am completely obsessed with this stuff lately.

I'm pretty sure it started the first time I smelled 

the Cotton Candy candle from Bath & body Works.

And sadly...it's sold out everywhere.

Last night I even went to Wal-Marts website, and did a search for cotton candy.

Which is where I found cotton candy yogurt!

It's actually the GoGurt packs that are meant for kids...

but I don't care! 

So of course i picked some up today.

They are DELICIOUS!

Next I had a body spray when I was younger that was by Body Fantasies.

Any guesses what the scent was?

COTTON CANDY!

So while at Wal-Mart I looked for it..

and found it!

I didn't buy it though, but I'm sure I will very soon.

So yeah my obsession is getting to the point where if the words cotton candy are on it...

I have to have it!

Here's a few more things cotton candy I need to get my hands on...soon!

 Lip Smackers Cotton Candy.

Because who doesn't want cotton candy

flavored lip balm?

Opi Coney Island Cotton Candy.

I'm not sure if this was a limited edition color

or permanent color, but I do know

it is super pretty & I need it!

Orly Cotton Candy.

I found this polish during my recent trip to Ulta.

It is super pretty & I should have bought it.

The reason I didn't though was

because I thought I could probably get it a little 

cheaper at Sally's. 

I had no luck with that...they didn't have it!

I love this color though & of course the name!

Again...I need it!

So that's it for my "Cotton Candy Wish List" ...for now. 

I hope you enjoyed this post! 

My 27th Birthday

Yesterday (June 12th) was my 27th birthday. I can not believe I am now 27...crazy! The day was pretty good. We went over to my mom's to celebrate the day, and it was wonderful. My mom set up trays of meat and cheeses, and made some salads for us to eat. Then we, of course, had cake! I really wish someone would have gotten a picture of my face when I first saw my cake. I was in shock of what they had done for me. If you follow me on Twitter you have probably already seen it...if not then here it is.

How cute is that?! Obviously they know of my love for cupcakes. They gave me a cake shaped like a cupcake using cupcakes. Love it! Best cake ever. Between the meal and cake,though, we did presents. Nothing really to mention here. All I asked for this year was money. I wanted gift cards to Ulta and/or Sephora, but both stores are in another city 45 minutes away from where I live, and when i mentioned those stores everyone looked at me and said the same thing "Whats that?" So it was just easier to ask for money. My brother also gave me a necklace and earring set that was really pretty, and my boyfriend's mom gave me a Bath & Body Works gift card.
Then today (June 13) I went shopping! I had to spend the money I got...i just couldn't wait! So what did I buy with my birthday money? I'll show you tomorrow in a video on my YouTube channel. One thing I will show you that I got today, though, is something I have had my eye for awhile now. I am super excited that I finally was able to buy it.

I love this thing! I only have stuff in 3 of the drawers, but that will change with time.
All in all I had an amazing birthday, and an amazing day of shopping. And I'm not done yet! I can't wait to show you what I bought.
