What I Wore Wednesday

Hello Friends!
It's Wednesday so here's what I wore today :) 
Top: JCPenney
Tank Top: Walmart 
Shorts: Old Navy 
Sandals: Ross 
Phone Case: Amazon 

I actually like how I'm looking this week! I've lost 10 pounds so far on Weight Watchers. I've got a long way to go but so far, so good! 
Until next time-

Go Get This Right Now! (Must Haves #1)

Hello Friends! 
I want to start doing these Must Haves on things that I'm super stoked about and have to share! 
For the first must have post I want to share a mascara. 
I have been putting this mascara off and I seriously don't know why because now I can't live without it! It is the Almay Get Up And Grow. I have heard many great things about this mascara. I finally picked it up over last weekend at Ulta and have used it every day since. Below are pictures of the mascara and wand and a before and after!
 
The before and after may not seem so dramatic. Some of you may not even be able to tell. But I'm seriously in love with this mascara and it really does make my lashes long and full and black! Love it! Maybe a few more coats to make them pop! 
Until next time-

Collective Haul (makeup/fashion) + swatches! MAC/Ulta/Target/Walgreens/JCP/Rue 21


Hello Friends!
I have been a shopaholic this past week! 
I have been running all over the place trying to find new things that have sparked my interest while either reading blogs or watching my favorite ladies on YouTube. 
I have visited MAC, Ulta, Target, Walgreens, JCP, and Rue 21. I wanted to share what I picked up at these places with you all :)


MAC
I have been needing a new concealer and itsbl0ndie on YouTube LOVES the Pro Longwear Concealer. OF COURSE I stopped in and picked it up! I have also heard wonderful things about the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and wanted to give that a try. You can either use this powder as a setting powder or on its own!
I wear NW20 in concealer and Medium Plus in MSFN.
Also, while I was there a wonderful MAC lady put a gorgeous MSF blush on me and I regret now not buying it and even worse, I can't remember what it was called :(


ULTA
Okay. Ulta is like my favorite place in the world. I could literally spend HOURS in there. Just recently the mall near me has been doing some serious updating and they put a very large Ulta right in the front so I can get in and out without having to go through the rest of the mall! HEAVEN.Here are a few things I have picked up lately :)
Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist
L'oreal Paris Lipstick 108 Gilded Pink
NYX Matte Lipstick MLS07 Alabama
NYX HD Eye Shadow Base
NYX Nude Matte Shadow Skinny Dip
NYX Nude Matte Shadow I Have A Headache
NYX Illuminator Narcissistic
Here are swatches of the swatchable things :)
L'oreal lipstick Gilded Pink

TARGET
I only purchased two things from Target :)
L'oreal lipstick Peach Fuzz


NYC Bronzer Sunny
(A very popular bronzer and I'm stoked to have found it!)


WALGREENS
I picked up five things at Walgreens. Mainly went for Milani blush and also to look for the Rimmel ScandelEyes in Nude because I couldn't find it ANYWHERE! I was in luck with the eyeliner but not in luck with the blush I went there for. I wanted the Luminoso Milani blush but of course they were out. But luckily they had another I wanted to try. I also picked up the Almay Get Up And Grow mascara, Maybelline Vivid lipstick in Hooked On Pink, and the new People Style Watch magazine with Lauren Conrad on the cover :)

Below are the lipstick, eyeliner, and blush swatch.
First Swatch: Maybelline Vivid Hooked On Pink
Middle Swatch: Rimmel ScandelEyes Nude
Last Swatch: Milani blush Rose D'Oro


JCPENNEY
I went into JCP to look at their mini Sephora and ended up not picking anything up. But while looking around I did find some flip flops! It was love at first sight and the tag was marked $8 but when I checked out, they were on sale for $5! I WANT MORE! I ended up with just a brown pair that will go with everything and you can't see in the picture but they have a gold connecting piece between the flip flop and the strap. Super cute.


RUE 21
I picked up a few pretty things in Rue 21 :)
Made into a cute little collage!
'Merica Sunglasses
Sparrow Bracelet
Green USB Chord
GORGEOUS Lace Dress
Bow Headband with images of Cats :D
(It was a two pack that also came with a plain black one)
