New at the drugstore ~ May/June 2015

I haven't don a "What's new at the drugstore" in quite a while so I figured it was well due. When I went to the drugstore I didn't find a ton of new stuff but I found a fair amount to share. I haven't tried any of this I'm just sharing what's new!

Hard Candy had some new polishes and palettes on display.

Looks like Rimmel has a new mascara with argan oil. I have never tried any Rimmel mascara, but this one looks interesting!

L'Oreals two nude palettes look fun! However they are quite pricey for drugstore!

Covergirl always seems to come out with new foundations. This time lipsticks and a primer came along too!

There is also a new Covergirl mascara claiming 400% volume.. hmm, sounds interesting!

And last but not least, L'Oreal released a new version of the miss manga mascara!

That's about all I found at the drugstore that was new.

Collective April Haul + 2 Year Blog Birthday

I figured I'd do the exact same (or very similar) post as I did exactly one year ago on my 1 year blog anniversary. 

(Last year's post)  

(1st blog post) 

I started my blog 2 years ago today and I've loved every moment of it! I did a lot of shopping again this April so I thought I'd show a haul again this year. I also decided to share what I got for my birthday in this post and include it in one big haul! I'm really not trying to brag, I just wanted to show you everything I've gotten this month. I have a lowkey shopping obsession and I wanted to treat myself this month. I am also super thankful for all of the gifts I received for my birthday as well as all of my family and friends!
Enjoy, xx

SHOPPING

First off, here's all of the clothing pieces I accumulated throughout the month. They are all from Forever 21 unless otherwise stated. The first romper is from Winners, by the brand One Clothing. I thought it was a bit more formal and completely my style. I love this grey tee, it's so casual and effortless. I was in need of a plain black tee so I picked this one up from H&M. This dress is so bright and perfect for summer. I also really love the multicolored/patterned top, it's very Coachella-ish. I picked up these cute & cheap pajama shorts, as well as some blue flowy shorts for the summertime! And I finally caved and bought myself black Lululemon leggings. I have definitely gotten tons of use already.

 These brown boots from Forever 21 are gorgeous! I had to get them. I think they'd look really cute with a sundress and some accessories. I treated my Mum and I to some Alex and Ani bracelets earlier int he month. I chose the Om symbol and the Path of Life. They go with anything and I really love them!

 Here's all of my beauty purchases of the month. Hopefully you can see them all since it would be a really long post if I mentioned each eon separately. if you have any questions, please leave a comment!

I also bought some colored pens and washi tape to fuel my planner decorating obsession!

BIRTHDAY

 Okay, so here's the Birthday stuff! I was overwhelmed with the birthday wishes and gifts I received this year and  can honestly say it has been my best birthday yet!
I can't wait to use the OPI polish in Mod About You as well as the Soap & Glory Body Buttercream which smells so divine!

 I got so much food which is perfect since it's probably my favorite thing ever!. I can finally try Quest bars and Matcha now!

I had really wanted Cassey Ho's new book since I follow her calendars, I can't wait to start reading it! I also am so happy to finally have an iPad case, I'm in love with it!

I also received a few gift cards which I am excited to put to good use!

 I was extremely surprised when I opened this one! I have never received something so meaningful and  beautiful before! I am so thankful for it. It was super fun to photograph!

It's a perfectly simple, silver ring. I've always wanted a simple ring that I can wear anywhere. I know this will last me a lifetime!

I hope you enjoyed this haul of the month of April! I am really not trying to show off, I simply enjoy sharing the things I've loved throughout the month and looking back on my hauls in the future.
Bye, now! :)

Forever 21 online haul

I don't online shop often, but when I do I get FREE SHIPPING! I've order from Forever 21 once before and it always arrives super fast! They were having a deal of spend 421 get free shipping, and I couldn't pass it up.

 First off, I got a cream & navy horizontal striped top for $7.80. The sizes run small so if you like a looser, fit you might want to go a size up. It's fairly soft and has a high neckline.

I also picked up some scrunchies because they're perfect for tying my hair up will I sleep without creasing. They don't stretch much but they aren't completely unusable. I probably wouldn't buy them again, you get what you pay for.

I got a couple of pairs of studs for $1.80 each! They're both really cute and I love F21 jewelry.

I also got this really short (almost choker style) necklace for $5.80. I thought it was simple, cute, and easy to style.

Lastly, I got this navy beanie for only $3.80. These are perfect for fall and winter and I think the color compliments my hair.

That's all I ordered from Forever 21. I hope you enjoyed!
Enjoy your day/night/morning!

Target clearancea: Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Bonus Set

The other day I made a quick trip to Target, looking for a gift for a friend. Of course I had to check out the clearance section while I was there! They didn't have as many good deals as usual but this one caught my eye. It's a kit consisting of a razor, 2 cartridges, a mini shaving gel and a Covergirl nail polish. 

It was on clearance for $4.03! When purchased separately, one razor is nearly $10! A full size of the shaving gel (7 oz) is $2.74, the mini has 2.5 oz. And a full sized Covergirl nail polish is $5.99!

The set has a value of nearly $17!

It also came with a $4 off coupon of blade refills. 

I'm glad it's all for sensitive skin since my skin is super sensitive!

The polish is in out of the blue and I don't have any shades like this.

I've used the razor once and I feel like there are too many blades but I'll continue to try it out!

Bye!
