Okay, so recently I’ve been doing a bit of retail therapy. I tried to resist shopping for as long as I could, but my self-control was greatly affected by the “Treat Yo Self” episode of Parks and Recreations so honestly, Donna Meagle and Tom Haverford are to blame.

Let the judgement begin.

Kleaver Klothing top (You can catch them on Vans Warped Tour all summer long)

Secondhand Rob Zombie Top- Etsy

Wicked Mesh top- Dolls Kill

ABH Soft Glam: I told myself I didn’t need this… and then I picked it up and got a good look at it and yes, it’s even more gorgeous in person and yes, I’m obsessed.

KVD Lolita eyeshadow: Again, I told myself I didn’t need it and then the more I looked at it, the more I realized it was me in an eyeshadow. Any rosy shade that makes me look as dead as I feel inside, is a must-have.

Kat Von D x Billie Joe Armstrong Basket Case Eyeliner: As a huge fan of both Green Day and Kat Von D, there’s no way I could pass this up. This anti-precision liner is insanely pigmented, it’s the perfect black eyeliner. You can smudge it to get that perfect dark, smoky eye and then once it sets it’s locked in place and doesn’t budge. It’s the first liner that I’ve been able to tight line with and it not transfer to my waterline. It has a built-in sharpener that lets you keep your liner nice and sharp.

Ipswitch Witch Carrie enamel pin: It’s no surprise that I ordered this while I was actually half-asleep. It doesn’t take much to convince me to order pins, especially when it comes to Carrie White. This pin is absolutely stunning, it’s heavy duty and the company has two additional pressings including a glow-in-the-dark design. I picked up the "Vengeance" style pin while it was on pre-order. It's unfortunately sold out now.

Also, looks like Carrie found herself a home alongside Gerard Way and Jason Voorhees.

If you’re like me and you celebrate Halloween year-round then you’ve probably heard the rumors about Halloween décor showing up on shelves early. Well turns out, the rumors are true. After some digging (and driving around in circles), we lucked up and found the At Home store and y’all…I nearly lost my mind. Clowns, ghosts, and skeletons galore. They have a ton of incredible home décor – both indoor and outdoor – to fulfill your Halloween needs. After chatting with one of the employees, this is only the beginning of what’s going to be in the full seasonal collection so stay tuned and check back as we approach the Halloween season.

I restrained myself and only left with three items. As a lover of wine and creepy things, I picked up this tall wine glass, decorated with bats.

I also grabbed an adorable mesh spiderweb cloth that I draped over my vanity as a nice centerpiece. Right above my vanity is this fantastic piece that I knew I needed as soon as I saw it. What better to hang above my vanity than wall art to always remind me to “stay creepy”?

I cannot wait to pick up more décor as stores begin to release their seasonal collections. Definitely check out At Home if you have one nearby, so far, they have the most in regard to Halloween items. Michaels has also been slowly releasing their fall items as well.

Till next time,

Hello Lovlies,

I'm back with a mini beauty haul plus a few random favorites.

I've been in Virginia visiting with family so I've been a absent for a little while but I'm back! The July Style Spotlight will be up before the end of the month so stay tuned.

Now let's jump into the haul.

BEAUTY

Dove Hair Therapy Dry Shampoo: This stuff is amazing. It's perfect for those days when you just don't want to wash your hair. It does on white but goes away as you massage it in. It smells great. It retails for about $4.00 at drugstores.

Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm: This stuff is great. It helps my dry lips stay moisturized in the summer and winter. The packaging it cute so it immediately drew me in. Retails for about $2.00 at drugstores.

Wet N Wild Clear Brow and Lash gel: I was so glad I found this. I was in the market for a clear mascara and came across this one at Five Below for about $3.00. Just something to keep those brows in place.

City Color Intense Blush Quad: A random find from Five Below. It features four intensely bright blushes. The blushes are kind of pigmented so I would definitely have to use a light hand when applying. I have yet to try these out so I'll definitely let you know how they wear. Retails for about $4.00 at Five Below.

Wet N Wild Megalast Lipsticks in "Sugar Plum Fairy" and "In the Flesh": So. In. Love. These lipsticks have been favorites of mine for a while. I was searching for a nude lipstick that was more of a mauve-pinky nude instead of the peachy-pinky nude and came across "In the Flesh". It's like a "my lips, but better color." Next, "Sugar Plum Fairy" is a plum with pink undertones. The pink makes it a more wearable color. It comes off as darker in the tube but doesn't apply as dark ,it could definitely be built up to a darker plum though. Both are a matte finish. Retails for about $2.00.

Maybelline Color Vivid Lipstick in "Shocking Coral": This color is probably my new favorite shade for summer. It's a bright coral shade that has subtle pink undertones. It goes on smooth and has a satin-y finish. Retails for about $6.00.

FASHION

Bracelets: I love a good arm party and these bracelets were too good to pass up. The colors range from coral, mint, a darker blue, silver, gold, a bone shade. The feature small accents like a feather, an arrow and studs. Some of my favorite things. Both were about $5.00 from Walmart and Five Below.

Workout Tank: I came across this shirt at Walmart. Just a simple grey racer-back tank with pink around the back strap. It's so comfy and perfect for staying cool while working out on these hot summer days. I've been thinking of starting a fitness instagram page where I share fitness progress, workout routines, recipes and more. Let me know if you're interested or if you would like me to include more fitness here!

Headphones: SO in love with these. I needed a good pair of headphones that fit over the head to use while working out because my earbuds tend to slip out while running. These are super comfy to wear and are bright and fun. Retails for about $4.00 at Five Below.

So that's it for my haul, hope you guys enjoyed this. I'll try to get a back to school haul up next month and and possibly a high-end haul. As always, stay fab!

Hello loves,

I recently did a little shopping at a couple different places and these are the things I picked up along the way. Just a little something here and there. Nothing like a little retail therapy to cure these winter blues while we anxiously wait for spring break. This is only the beginning because I'll be making another trip soon because competition season is right around the corner and I need new products in my makeup bag!

Enjoy!

Rimmel London Scandaleyes waterproof eyeliner in "Nude". I'm so in love with it. It's really creamy and looks really good on the lower waterline to create that "big, round eyes" look. It's less harsh than white liner so it's perfect. 

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Metal in "Silver Strike". These color tattoos are really pigmented and go on smooth. They can act as a base for your shadows or you can wear them alone. I needed a good silver for my competition makeup and I needed something that was going to last and not crease. These are great for just that.

Maybelline Color Elixir in "Blush Essence". These color elixir glosses are insane. The pigmentation is really good and it goes on smoothly. The doe foot applicator is soft and glides the gloss on the lips. I really like the color because it's perfect for everyday wear, it's like a "my lips but better" type color. The brighter shades are perfect for spring. I'm obsessed and need more colors like...now!

Milani Ultra Fine liquid eyeliner in "Black Oynx". This is my new pride and joy. I recently picked this gem up at CVS because I ran out of my Revlon Color Stay liquid eye pen and this is definitely my new holy grail eyeliner. It's so black, the pigmentation is amazing. The brush is small and makes putting on eyeliner so easy. I'm a winged eyeliner fanatic and this made my wing so sharp and precise, it's amazing. I got so many compliments on my eyeliner when I wore this. It's amazing.

Forever 21 Marvel muscle tee. Everyone that knows me knows I am completely obsessed with everything Marvel, so when I saw this in Forever 21 I almost died in the store. It has two of my all-time faves on the front, Thor and my baby Captain America and of course a little Spider-Man never hurts. With spring right around the corner I can't wait to wear this baby out.

I came across these running shorts at Walmart the other night and had to get them. They're really comfortable and I love the fact that these don't have the weird liner in the inside, which some people like but I find it annoying. Obsessed with the pink.

Forever 21 geo print skater dress. I love dresses. Dresses are great because first of all- no pants. Second, they make it look like you put in some effort when really you just threw it on before you ran out the door to get to class. I love this print, the colors work really good together. My favorite think about this dress is definitely the little bow cut-out in the back. Little cut-out detail like that are so cute to me. Forever 21 has a lot of different dresses that have interesting patterns and cut-outs and I need them all.

I'm a huge fan of collar button down shirts and my eyes are immediately drawn to anything coral-y so I went straight to this when I saw it in Ross. It has a subtle high-low bottom and it's so comfortable. Ross is a great place to find dresses for a really good price.

Charlotte Russe was having a sale on accessories and I fell in love. I love long necklaces because they're so simple and it's a nice break from my statement pieces when I want something a bit more toned down. The spike and the triangle pendant instantly drew me in. I love bows and of course I grabbed the pack of earrings that had the bows. My other faves are the baby pink flowers and the spikes. It just adds a little something extra to your look.

I might not have had a valentine but that didn't stop me from buying things for myself so I can smell delicious while I watched the Avengers all day. I was so in love with the XOXO scene by Bodycology that I recently went out and bought a second bottle from Walmart. It's such a flirty and girly scent. It has lemon sorbet, raspberries and musk and it's nice and warm and everything I love in a scent. It's perfect for spring and even summer. 

So there you have it. I hope you enjoyed this mini haul! What are some things you've bought recently? Let me know.
