Fall Lippies Haul!♡♡♡


 

Well No Buy November was a total fail for me :( But I just couldnt resist this great deal that walgreens is having this week, 40% off Revlon products! And for all the couponers out there Walgreens has an in store coupon for $1 off Color Burst lip products and on coupons.com they have another coupon that can be used on top of that. Oh and I almost forgot! If you guys follow me on instragram I posted a coupon that was put out a couple weeks ago for $3 off any Revlon face product! Its crazy how much money you can save!
I didnt let myself get over board(well not yet at least lol) so I only bought 3 lip products. The first is a Maybelline Babylips in Soothing Sorbet, its a very pretty light berry color perfect for just a bit of color on the lips and very moisturizing. Next is from the new Revlon Color Burst Lacquer Balms in the color Enticing Desirable, these balms are crazy pigmented and dont dry out my lips. The color is a brighter berry tone red on the lips.  Now for the next product some people might disagree with me on this but I think nudes are perfect for the fall time. I picked up the Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Precious, its a nude pink color that has a bit of a gloss to it. I wore it yesterday and I'm already obsessed! The last thing I got was a Revlon Lip Butter in Red Velvet which is a darker berry red. This is probably the one I'm most excited to use. I love how moisturizing the lip butters! So that it my little haul for you guys! Hurry out there to your nearest Walgreens to stock up on your favorite Revlon products before the sales gone! :)

Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Serum and Rinse Off Treatment!♡♡♡

Rinse Off Treatment
While browsing the aisles of Target I ran into this gem and I'm so glad I did! This hair mask is amazing! I'm very picky with deep conditioning treatments so I was surprised to find that I really liked this one. The formulation is thinner than most hair masks and has a really wonderful scent. When I first applied it I could of bet my whole makeup collection that I wasn't going to like it but when I rinsed it out after a couple minutes my hair felt like heaven! A little goes a long way since it spreads so easily so it will last a while. Also the scent last in your hair after you rinse it off which is a big bonus! 
$4.97 at Walmart

Strengthening Serum
It took my months to find this product at my local Walmart, but the wait was totally worth it! I apply this to all of my hair starting at the ends, my hair has never been this healthy and soft before. The smell is amazing and the texture of this serum isn't thick which I love. I use about one pump to cover my lion's mane. I'm not afraid to get close to my roots with this and I've never had a greasy issue with it either. I have a lot of hair thats extremely thick and my hair loveeeeees this. :)

Animal Hoarder?


 

So I'm know by my friends as the animal hoarder, I don't take offense to it because they're totally right! I just absolutely love animals. Before I was born my family always had pets and its been that way since. The pictures above are my babies! Milo(top left) is my 15 year old tail-less cat. I love this cat way to much! He's been in our family so long that I don't remember him not being here. Then we have my pups Jacob, Koda, and Buddy. Jacob, or Jakes, is my 5 year old Chihuahua/Pomeranian that I got for my 15th birthday. He my son and I just can't get enough of his awkward personality and adorable face. Next we have Koda who is my sisters 10 year old Pomeranian, he's the sweetest most lovable pup out there. He's the perfect little lap dog. Then theres Buddy. Oh Buddy. This dog is more than a handful, he drives us all crazy but we cant help but love him. He destroys everything he gets his paws on but once we makes his puppy face you cant help but forgive him. Last but definitely not least is my little fluff ball Louise but I call her LouLou. My precious, perfect little bunny! I still remember the day I came home with her and my dad freaked out hahaha. My mom told him its better that I have a bunny then bring home a baby! She made a good point and he dropped the subject of taking LouLou back.
So these are all of my little angels! If I could have more I would but i think 5 is good... for now ;)

Fall OOTD!♡♡♡


It's finally starting to feel like autumn in South Florida! Down here when it hits November our days become pretty gloomy and the weather is unpredictable. Luckily today the rain took the day off and let us have some nice weather so we took a little trip down to the local farmers market for some smoothies and salsa :) So heres my outfit of the day, fall inspired! My washed out denim button down is from Love Culture, the army green scoop neck is from Target, leggings are from Victoria Secret Pink, and the combat boots are from Erge. I'm so excited that it's finally starting to get a bit chillier and the humidity is lowering! I hope you all are having a great start to the autumn season, bring on the Thanksgiving!! :)

Top Fall Nail Polishes!♡♡♡

Essie in Penny Talk
Words can't describe how beautiful this nail polish is. I've own this one for almost a year now and it's still going strong. It's a gorgeous rose gold color(every girls fave color) that has metallic finish. I'm absolutely obsessed with this all year around! The only problem I have with it is that it wears off easily at the top of the nail and I dont recommend using a top coat because it changes the whole finish of the polish. I love that its like a nude but with a twist :)


 OPI in Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous
This polish and I have made memories together. I brought this from a OPI holiday collection 4 YEARS AGO! Thats how much I adore it. I keep bringing it back to life because its that fabulous. I'm not a dark nail kind of girl and this is the darkest I'd go. I love the whole matellic finish and the shimmer. It's my type of "black". It most definitely needs two coats to get the whole color pay off but if you layered it over a black polish it would look gorgeous! Love love love!


 Deborah Lippmann in Modern Love
Whoever doesnt think this color is absolutely gorgeous is crazy! Most people love their pinky nudes but this is my type of nude. Everytime I use it I fall more and more in love. It sort of reminds me of Urban Decay's Tease shadow. It has a purple undertone that makes it so unique compared to all the other nude colors I own. I will repurchase 100 bottles of this if I ever find out its discontinued.

Top 10 Under 10!♡♡♡


So who doesn't love finding drug store gems under $10?!? The drugstore has most of my favorite beauty products out there. They're affordable and work beautifully! Today I've gathered my top 10 favorite beauty products under $10!


Ok so if you never tried this foundation you need to close your computer right now, grab your purse and run to your nearest target! This foundation is AMAZING! I've been wearing this everyday for the past month(and that says alot because I'm a foundation hoarder) and I fall more and more in love with it. The formulation is a creamy whipped texture, its lightweight and blends like no other! It gives a light to medium coverage and it buildable without getting cakey. Also if you're a couponer like myself there a dollar off coupon going around. Not only is the foundation top notch but the price is right as well retailing for $6.99 at Target :)

One thing you're going to notice about me through this blog is that I'm OBSESSED with NYX products, it's an addiction. When I was looking for dupes for the Mac creme blushes I gave the NYX ones a try and oh my word it was love at first swatch! They're so creamy and pigmented that I needed to buy all the colors in the range. The one shown above it Glow which is one of the brighter colors in the collection. I like to apply it was a stippling brush because you can easily make your self look like a clown and thats not cute. These beauties retail for $6.99 at Ulta.

Not only am I a foundation hoarder but I'm also a mascara junkie. If you take anything with you from my blog I hope its this piece of advice: Don't waste your money on high-end mascaras! Drugstore mascaras are amazing and extremely affordable! I've tried Chanel, Mac, Lancome, blah blah blah and nothing compares to my Revlon Lash Potion Mascara! If you watch my YouTube channel you know that this my all time holy grail mascara. This gives my lashes length and amazing volume, some people even think I'm wearing false lashes. What more could you want out of a mascara??
$4.99 at Target!


I'm the kind of girl who likes to grab a lip color and apply to my lips without worrying if I stayed in the lines. Being a college student I don't always have time to do my makeup all out all the time. These Revlon Balm Stains make my life to much easier(beauty wise at least lol). I love how creamy and moisturizing they are. Even when the balm goes away it leaves a natural tint to your lips so you dont have to worry about having to reapply all day. The color shown above is in Honey which is a your lips but better color.
$6.49 at Target :)

I told you I was a NYX lover! The HD concealer is the only concealer out there that I can say I truly love! Its very creamy, kind of like a whipped texture. It covers everything from my under eye circles to that annoying zit cause by stress from midterms. This concealer is a miracle in a tube! 
$4.99 at Ulta!

From March through September I went heat free to give my hair a little break and to help it grow a bit. Now that were in the Fall months I've been using my flat iron here and there so I need to keep it protected. Organix has done it again! I'm a big Organix lover and this product didn't let me down. The keratin flat iron spray left my hair silky smooth and shiny! And as a bonus it smells like coconuts, who doesnt love coconuts!? I'm able to spray as much product as I want and I never feel like my hair is weighted down or greasy. A+++ to Organix! 
$7.99 at Walgreens :)

So I'm pretty sure everyone and their cats have heard about this product. Time and time again I find myself always back at walmart stocking up on this. It makes my hair feel softer then any other product that came in my path. Its crazy how something so dirt cheap can make such a difference in my hair routine. This is something everyone should give a try!
$2.97 at Walmart!

I haven't seen many people talk about this product and it's kind of hard to find. This strengthening serum from Herbal Essences needs to be know by everyone! It moisturizes my ends and makes my hair feel stronger too. I'm in the process of trying to achieve waist length hair so I need as much help to keep my hair healthy and strong as possible. The product comes out as a thick yellow/orange looking formula but once you put it in your hair it becomes a liquid and it easy to get on every strand. I've been using it for over a month and my hair has been a lot less frizzy and just looking all around healthier :)
$3.37 at Walmart!

I went through a point where I bought a billion different skincare products trying to find the perfect combination for my skin. During that time I came across this baby. Formula 10.0.6 products are one of my favorite skincare items out there. Theyre gentle but get the job done. This face mask is now the only face mask I use on my skin! It comes out as a thick pink paste that smells so good! The first time I used it I sort of freaked out because it was tingling ALOT. But the sensation went away after about 30 seconds, now I've came to love that feeling because I feel the mask working. I usually use it about once or twice every other week and it makes my skin feel so refreshed and baby bottom soft. It really gets deep in the pores to give you that deeeeeeep clean that we all want from a mask. Plus the packaging is so stinking cute! 
$5.99 at Ulta!

Last but definitely not least are my Real Technique brushes. I own 4 of them(I 'm not sure why I only photoed 3 of them?). 
  • Powder Brush(Left): This is my favorite brush for an all over bronze. Its so soft and I makes it really easy to blend out any harsh bronzer or blush. $9.99
  • Blush Brush(Center): Probably my favorite brush out of the whole collection. Its different from any brush I've ever used. I love how its domed and can be used for a various amount of things. I've used it for blush, powder, and highlight but my favorite use for it is for contouring. It makes it look so natural but also defined. $8.99
  • Expert Face Brush(Right): The cult favorite foundation brush! If you've ever heard of Real Techniques then this is probably the brush you think of. This brush is my go to foundation brush. It buffs in the foundation so beautifully and leaves it with such a natural airbrushed finish, it works get with any foundation! It also blends in concealer amazing as well. $8.99
  • Stippling Brush(not shown): My favorite brush for creme blushes. It applies the right amount and makes it look like a natural flush to the cheeks. Also stipples on foundation flawlessly. $9.99
These brushes can be found at Ulta :)
