The Avengers rock! If you haven't seen the movie...well, you're missing out!
I found this gray tee in the Men's section of Kohl's and could NOT
refuse on buying it. It was on sale for $8.99.
Who's your favorite AVENGER?

Gap Pink Shirt - $12ish after discount
Originally $19.99 and on clearance for $16.99

I love the sleeves

Lauren Conrad Studded Skirt - $5-$8 (Goodwill - new w/tags)

close-up of the studs and flower pattern

Decree Lace Top - $2.50 (Goodwill)

ELLE Gray-White Sequined Top - $3.50 (Goodwill)

Shirt was on sale so it wasn't $7

WEATHERVANE

Back of WEATHERVANE jeans - Goodwill

These jeans are amazing on! And, they're so unique!

The back pocket, featured above, is quite long on the buttocks.

It like drags down towards your thighs more so your butt looks nice!

I'll post up a picture of me wearing them and showing you how this

looks whenever I start wearing these jeans.

American Eagle Shorts - $24.99 each

This is the tag of one of the workout pants I got from Forever21
I didn't take an actual pic of the pants or
other stuff I got from F21 since they didn't turn out well

That's it for the haul pictures. Hopefully I upload the haul video soon! Thumbs up

2 OOTD - Spring Wear

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen these pictures, but just in case...I wanted to post these two OOTDs up since they are perfect for the warm season. And, I just love how they look!

H&M Pink Top - $7.95
American Eagle Blue Shorts - $24.99

 I love them shorts! They're so comfy and I just love the color!

The pink top is comfy as well and so light weight.

I've def. been turning heads since wearing it!

Maurices Black Tank (not easy to see I know) - $9.99
Lauren Conrad Studded Skirt (Goodwill)  - $19.99

The skirt was originally $40-$60, in store, but Goodwill had it for $19.99.

What a steal! I actually didn't pay $20 for it, but rather...$5-$8 out of my pocket!

I had a gift card and discount so...this skirt was def. a must have buy!

Hope you enjoyed my short OOTDs <3

POP of color makeup tutorial

I recently bought a nicely pigmented and long-lasting eyeliner from Milani and I am just in love with it! Here, I am using Milani LIQUIF'EYE Metallic Eye Liner in 04 Aqua. I highly recommend this color (not the black) because it is just amazing! It lasts very long and is quite difficult to take off. It's very comparable to Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On pencils...but better. This eye liner is what inspired me to (finally) film a tutorial. This look is DRAMATIC, so...beware! I was even a little shy to wear this out in public. People kept staring at me!

Below is the video for my makeup tutorial:

(don't hate...appreciate! this is only my 2nd tutorial)

Y'know...I just noticed that the title for this look was derived by Hollyannaeree's Aqua Pop tutorial! Oops! Oh well! The eye liner was called AQUA! : P

MORE PICHAS!

These are all the eyeshadows I used for the tutorial.
All eyeshadows are from both Naked palettes.

Swatch of the eyeliners I used:
Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Eyeliner & Lash  Boosting Serum,
NYX White Eyeliner, Milani LIQUIF'EYE Metallic Eye Liner in 04 Aqua

MyGlam lashes (packaging) from April's bag

Pucker up for the camera! <3 muahs

It looks like a fishy!!!!

Target Beauty Box/Bag

This is the first time I've received the Target Beauty Box/Bag, so I didn't know what to expect. I saw some pictures of the products on Target's Facebook page, but they still didn't seem all that great...until I got them.

I came home one day and just found this Target-printed box on top of my bed. At first, I was like, "WTH is this?" Then, I realized that it was the beauty box!!! I instantly opened it and was amazed at the products. I needed a new lotion and found one. Inside was the travel size Nivea Extended Moisture Daily Lotion. I tried it and it's awesome, much better than the Aveeno one. I haven't tried the other products though. I was too excited to try the lotion. Besides the products, the box also included a Target coupon book with coupons such as $1 off a Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara and $1 off a Nivea lotion, etc.

Did any of you get this Target Beauty Box/Bag too?

Products:

1. Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes (7 wipes)

2. Nivea Extended Moisture Daily Lotion (travel size)

3. Pantene Color Preserve Shine Conditioner (travel size)

4. Neutrogena Visibly Bright Daily Facial Cleanser (travel size)

5. Target coupon book

6. London SOHO New York Mini Makeup Bag

Beernsten's Candy Store

This is the only candy store in town!

Beernsten's is known for it's fine chocolates and designs!

It serves ice cream as well as hot drinks such as coffee and hot chocolate!

Think of it as a mini-cafe!

Today, I had the chance to finally visit it and try out some of the stuff!

Yummy chocolates!

Haha, these are the ONLY Jimmy Choos I could ever afford.

Clever and unique, isn't it?

Rock candy!

Avatar The Last Airbender - fire vs water !!!!

That's all for the pictures. I couldn't take anymore!

My hands were stuffed with candy and ice cream!

Yummies I'm Loving

Pad Kee Mao

Yummy! I'm drooling just looking at it! This is the best I've had since...forever!

I love THAI FOOD!

Starbucks half-off fraps!

Caramel frap, Mocha frap, Mocha Cookie Crumble frap, and two cake pops.
No, they're not all for me! I bought some for my family too!

Sex on the Beach (ignore the beer in the back)

My favorite drink

FUN Contest/Bet Idea

Do you love cereal? Do you like Trix?

Well, whether or not you like any of them...here's a great idea that you could

use for a bet or contest with your family and friends.

STEPS:

1. Buy a box of Trix cereal that has Spongebob on it

and says "free Spongebob toy"

2. Make a bet or contest with 1-7 people on which

Spongebob toy will appear in the cereal box

3. After the bets have been placed,

open the cereal box and reveal the Spongebob toy

Easy, right? Fun? YES!!!!

It's kind of silly and childish, I know! But, you gotta have fun sometimes!

Just like in Spongebob: F-U-N spells FUN! :)

Here's what my family and I did:

Bet - loser buys half-off fraps from Starbucks

I bet my sister and my niece that the Spongebob toy with the soccer ball would be in the box (initials with MV). My sister bet that it was the jellyfish one and my niece bet that it was the upside down Spongebob with the green shorts. My sister happened to win so I had to buy her a half-off frappucino from Starbucks.

Grrrr! And I was sure I was gonna win!

Products That I've Used Up

Do you ever have some products that you are constantly using over and over? I have a few that I'd like to show you! Let's see if some of us use the same products!

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara 

I received this in MyGlam bag. This is one of the BEST mascaras I've ever used.

I love it! I have tried this mascara even before MyGlam and I've had no problem with it. It kind of has a wet, dewy finish, which I like. It doesn't dry out my lashes.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream (for face) SPF 55 

It's the travel size that I purchased from Sephora for $20.

I admit it's very expensive, but the quality is quite nice.

It still has the sun block/screen smell to it, but it doesn't leave you with

the sticky feeling you get from most sun block/screen.

I use it sparingly, of course, since it is pricey.

I'm almost done with it...and sadly, I won't be repurchasing it

simply because it is so expensive.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion & 40 Carrots Moisture Splurge

As you can see in the first picture...I love Aveeno lotion.

I have the sample size, the travel size, and the full size!

It's fragrance free, which won't leave me with headaches

and it just feels good! :)

Don't worry! It doesn't smell like oatmeal!

As much as I love it I'm probably going to be switching to

a different lotion since it seems I've outlived it.

It's not as effective as when I first used it.

I want a fully, hydrating lotion since I have super DRY skin.

The other lotion is from 40 Carrots and this is also one of my favorites!

You can purchase it from TJ Maxx for $5.99 otherwise it's $13ish, full price.

It smells like carrots, which I didn't think I would like, but I instantly

fell in love with this lotion as soon as I tried it.

Very moisturizing! :)

L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base (face primer)

It's almost done...thank God!

I am not up with the hype with this product!

I hate how it's in a pot! It always gets stuck b/w my finger nails.

I think, for $12-$14...this isn't worth the money.

It doesn't last long! I've only used this for about 2 weeks or so,

and it just doesn't seem to do anything.

I don't notice a difference by putting this on or not.

Now...why am I using it up?

1. I can't return it after using it and I'm just not like that

to return something after using it.

2. I just want to use it up quickly to get rid of it.

Garnier Nutritioniste Anti-Dark Circle Roller
& MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC35

The concealer roller is another product that I try to use to get rid of.

I don't see any results! I don't see a reduction of dark circles!

So...I won't be repurchasing it!

MAC foundation...my all time favorite foundation of all!

It has medium to full coverage and always makes me look flawless!

It's down to the last bits! Boo!

I think, out of all my products listed...this is the only one that

I will be repurchasing.

So, if you haven't tried it...I definitely recommend it! <3

Now that you've seen my list of products that I've used up

(whether I love them or hate them)

What are yours? LMK in the comments!

Small CVS Spring Haul

My sister and I happened to go to CVS today. My main purpose for going today was to purchase a self-tanner or tanning lotion that I could use for my legs. My legs are probably one of the lightest parts of my body. Instead  of tanning out in the sun or going to tanning booths...I prefer lotions, which regardless, won't damage my skin. Below is a picture of all the things I purchased today from CVS.

Products from top to bottom:

1. Snickers Bar - $0.75 + $0.75 Extra Care Bucks (basically free)

2. Milani EASYBROW in Dark Brown - $7.49

3. Milani LIQUIF'EYE metallic eye liner in 04 Aqua - $7.49

4. Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Shampoo + the Conditioner - 2/$6.50ish +

I used a $1.00 off coupon and got $3.49 off too

5. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer - $9.99ish

6. (2) Listerine Cool Mint Mouth Wash - $2.99 each

+ I used a $1.00 off coupon for each

7. (not in pic) Nivea A Kiss of Smoothness lip balm - $3.19

After the Extra Care Bucks and coupons...I spent a total of $20.

It's not the best I've done couponing...but I saved lots!

Although...the cashier was very rude...and totally ripping me off!

My sister bought some of the same stuff and got more money off!

Shame on you!!!!

Anyway...I'm pretty excited to start using some of the things I bought,

especially the aqua eye liner, and the eyebrow pencil.

My other eyebrow pencils are almost used up,

so I figured I would try out a different shade and different brand.

As for the eye liner...well, let's just say I need to include more color in my life.

What do you buy from CVS? What are you most excited

to use/do during the spring/summer?

LMK as well what you gals would want to win for prizes.
Of course, be reasonable. I'm not made of money!!!!
