Tuesday I start cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell. I'm so incredibly excited but also sooooo nervous. I've never touched a pair of sheers in my life. For the most part I know I want pursue make up more so than hair but since I've never done it before I could change my mind. I'll be sure to update regularly about my experiences and journey I'm about to embark on! Fingers crossed! Xx

What's On My Mind

                    

What's On My Mind:

Lately I've had a couple products and things that I really want to try out (my excuse for buying things). I'm really enjoying the summer so far and all these products just scream summer to me. Of course I'm loving coral along with everyone else but honestly what is there not to love about the color. Below I'm going to list the products and prices! Xo

1. Make Up Forever / Mat Velvet + : This foundation has been 

on my radar for quite some time due to the fact that I have Oily/Combination 

skin that tends to lean more on the oily side during the summer. I've heard great 

reviews about it so it's something I'm definitely going to purchase once I've gone 

through some more of the other foundations I have (I just bought the Estee Lauder 

Double Wear foundation :/) It retails at $36.00.

2. Kate Spade Tiles Scarf : I'm swooning over this scarf right now. The colors

are so beautiful and the print is just the right amount of crazy and basic that 

I love wearing. I've never had a Kate Spade scarf but I have felt them at Nordstrom

and they feel similar to the Diane Von Furstenburg one I have that I absolutely love. 

It retails at $98.00. 

3. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar / Femme : I have never tried

anything like a lip tar/stain before but I keep hearing about how amazing

this product is. I've watched a couple tutorials on how it's applied and it's 

basically like a lip stick lip gloss and it's applied with a brush. I reallllllly want to 

purchase one but I can't bring myself to doing it right now, hopefully soon! It

retails at $18.00. 

4. Baublebar Neon Aqua Bib : Can we just talk about this necklace for a moment? 

It actually has everything I could ever want in a necklace: bib style, neon, spikes. 

I'm currently on the waiting list for this piece because 

it needs to be in my jewelry collection. It retails at $36.00.

5. Zara Leather Sandal : I have been wanting a pair of heels like this for about six months now but keep putting off buying them. Considering pretty much all I wear is neutrals, I really feel these shoes could find a solid place in my wardrobe. 

They are timeless and I can really see myself wearing them often. The strap across the ankle is also very flattering I find. They retail at $80.00. 

6. The Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer : I am dying to try anything by The Balm in general but considering I have so many blushes, and it's summer, I think a bronzer is a good place to start. I really love this bronzer because it's matte. I really don't like sparkly/shiny things on my face because of how oily my face is. It's also that perfect brown-bronze color unlike most bronzers that are more orange in color. It retails at $20.00.

7. Kate Spade Live Colorfully Perfume : I'm going to be honest I've never smelt this

but I'm a sucker for packaging and this perfume is no exception. I also love anything

Kate Spade does so I'll have to find it in stores and smell it to make a final decision, but

I'm sure I'll love it. It retails at $75.00.

8. Cargo Blush / Key Largo : I've played around with this blush at my work (Ulta) and I really really really like it. The color itself is fricken amazing. The blush itself is also very creamy and easy to blend which is something I really enjoy. It retails at $29.00.

9. Michael Kors Turquoise Pave Stud Earrings : I absolutely LOVE silver and 

turquoise paired together so obviously I would love these earrings. On top of it

they are studs which I prefer to wear because they are comfortable and can be casual or 

dressed up. They retail at $75.00. 

Recent Mac Purchases

I figured while I had time I would add the pictures of what I got first and show 

swatches later when the lighting is better. It's been so overcast here in Missouri! 

Once I've worn all three of these products I will be able to give a much more in depth review.

From top to bottom:

1. Brave (Satin) $15.00 - Pink-beige with white pearl

2. Candy Yum Yum (Matte) $15.00 - Neon Pink

3. Richer, Lusher $20.00 - Pink coral 

Update!

I'm about to upload some pictures/reviews of some recent purchases I've made. Just gotta wait for my camera to charge. They will be up momentarily! XO
