Shopping Haul: Ulta & TJ Maxx

Woohoo, I absolutely LOVE shopping and I had an awesome turn out tonight. I caved in and went to Ulta to buy the Naked 2 palette and grabbed a Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful while I was there. I can't wait to use these products! I am going to do a blog post on each when I have time to work with them a little bit. After I went to Ulta I went to the TJ Maxx (my favorite store!) in the same plaza and found some cute items. I grabbed a few shirts, some tan shorts, and black leggings. I probably own 10 pairs of black leggings now haha! I went over to the shoes not expecting to buy any and I found these super adorable shoes for $10. $10!!!!! I just love TJ Maxx. I didn't spend more than $13 on any one article of clothing, I am such a bargain hunter! Do you guys like shopping at TJ Maxx and Marshalls? If you've never been there then I definitely recommend you stop by your local stores! If you like decorating I suggest you go to Home Goods as well.

Well, that's all for now! Thanks for reading!

Face of the Day!

Today is the first time I will be doing a face of the day post. I am excited to be able to add another type of post to my blog! I am going to give you a step by step process as to how I achieved my look. Enjoy!

Face/Cheeks:

• Neutrogena Daily Moisturizer - I always start my day with a moisturizer! It's really important to moisturize your skin. 

• X-Out Shine Control - I received this item in my February Glam Bag and I absolutely love it! I have oily skin so anything that can help control the appearance of oil on my face is a plus.

• ULTA Matte Skin Primer - Again, I use this to control oil. I like to switch between this and the color correcting primer. 

• Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation in Medium - This is one of my current favorite foundations. it is natural looking and covers my blemishes nicely!

• Sheer Cover Concealer in Light/Medium - I got this in my January Glam bag, It's a nice concealer but not my favorite. 

• NARS Blush in Deep Throat - This is my favorite blush ever! The color is perfect for my skin. I dust it on my cheeks and the tip of my nose.

• Hard Candy Blush in Pin Up - I use this as a high light on my cheeks and the bridge/tip of my nose. It's a darker toned highlight but it's nice when I don't want my face to appear super shiny.

Eyes:

• Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden -  This is my favorite shade this comes in. It's a yellow nude color and has a nice finish. 

• Urban Decay Naked Palette - I used Virgin in as a highlight and near the tear duct, Sidecar all over the lid,  Hustle as the crease color, and Smog on the lower lash line.

• e.l.f. Essential Liquid Eyeliner in Black -  Lined the upper lash line, very simple.  

• Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero - I tight-lined and lined part of my water line with this eyeliner.  
• Sephora Collection Advanced Lash Booster in Black - Got this in the Sephora Favorites Lashstash, It's a very nice mascara to be completely honest! It goes on nicely.

Lips:

• e.l.f.  Mineral Lipstick in Runway Pink - Love love LOVE this lipstick! I quickly sweeped this across my lips and VOILA! a gorgeous pigmented pink color that is very natural looking.

  I was really happy with the way this look all came together. The eyeshadow's just blended and went together so nicely, I couldn't help but love the natural look of it all!
