.:: Lauren Conrad STYLE::.

Hello Everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I wanted to share with you all a new book my husband had purchased for me and it is the Lauren Conrad Book STYLE!

She talks about Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle in this book. Now I just had a baby about 5 months ago and my fashion side was and still is a bit rusty from the maternity clothes that I was wearing. I am slowly trying to work on my wardrobe now that I am not pregnant anymore and hopfully getting back into my shape! This book of her's will sure enough help and give me some tips on how to's. =)

I just love her sense of style. Simple yet classsy!!!

Definately check this book out. I purchased mine at Target for $15, they actually give 30% off the cover price which was $19.99 =)

.:: Aloha PINK Wild & Breezy::.

Morning Everyone!!! I am blogging pretty early today... Just wanted to share with you all a current FAVORITE of mine. I have been using this for about a week and half now. It is the Aloha PINK Wild & Breezy supersoft body lotion, all-over body mist, and 2-in-1 wash & scrub. The scent is described as wild red guava & pink passion fruit.

Description of scent

Supersoft Body Lotion

All-Over Body Mist

A subbie of mine actually pointed out that it look similar to the Fiji water bottle's!

2-In-1 Wash & Scrub

It claims it sloughs away rough, dry spots and has a combination of healthy vitamins E and C.

The three products used at once are amazing! I use the 2in1 body scrub in the shower and I apply the body lotion afterwards and spray the body mist. At the end of the day I still smell like this. It's a fresh clean smell with a bit of fruit. Not too over powering and great for summertime! Not only does it smell good, but the packaging is too die for!! You can purchase these at Victorias Secret for 3 for $30

This is a limited edition and it also comes in two other scents from this line. All I know is the pink one smells a bit like baby powder and the purple I did not even bother to smell after I smelled this one. lol

Have a great day EVERYONE!! =)

.:: Estee Lauder Sea Star Bronzing Blush::.

Hello Everyone!! Hope you all are having a good morning! I discovered another amazing limited edition product. I know every year Estee Lauder comes out with a Bronze Goddess Collection and this year I was pretty late on it. Last night I discovered it on Temptalia.com on her review. I was reading the reviews and was automatically sold on the product. Not only am I a sucker for bronzer's, but also a sucker for LE products. I called my local Nordstrom's and they were sold out, I called the nearest Macy's counter and they were SOLD OUT, so I called another Macy's counter about 10 minutes away from me and they had it! Thank God! lol!!

Here is the product...

BEAUTIFULLLLL!!

Up close...

This is what the compact looks like...

Packaging...

0.42 oz of product...

Another look at it....

Swatches...

Left to right: Outerpart, Star, and all together.

Retail price: $34

Texture is very velvety and soft. Very weill pigmented! I wouldn't say it's a bronzer, but more of a coral peach blush.

This is definately a product to grab!! Check your department stores if they still have it in stock...

.:: Slatkin & Co. ~ Fresh Picked Cherries 3 Wick Candle::.

OMG!! You all know how much I LOOOOVE burning candles... You all probably seen my super haul's on the Bath & Body Works Slakin & Co. 3 wick candles and the amazing scents that they have out for spring and summer. I don't think I showed this one in particular in my haul's, but I have to say this is mouth drooling good! lol.. =)

.Fresh Picked Cherries.

O-M-G!!! This just makes me want to eat it... lol! I swear to you this smells exactly like the red cherry STARBURST!!!! My husband had pointed this out to me and was shocked I didn't see it before him.

It says here it is described as a delicious blend of sweet red cherry,bright apple and vanilla cream.

I just L-O-V-E these candles. You can purchase them at Bath & Body Works for 2 for $20 or 1 for $19.50 definately grab them when they are on SALE! They burn approximately 40-65 hours, you never waste a dime of your money with this jar candle. It burns evenly around the whole jar and they are true to there scents. Just remember to trim the wick just a bit before lighting the candle. This will help it from having that black smoke burn as the candle is lit. They have so many scents out right now and the good thing is they come out with new scents every season. =)

.::Glee SEPHORA by O.P.I Nail Polish Set::.

Happy Monday EVERYONE!!! Hope you all had a good weekend... My husband and I took our kids to the mall and walked in to Sephora to go and check out what they had new.... My daughter seen this minature nail polish set from Glee and it's by SEPHORA by O.P.I. She is obsessed with anything that is minature size, lol!! So with all means we purchased this for my daughter but just wanted to share it with u all in case you were wondering how the color payoff was and If you were deciding to purchase it.

There's 6 color's in this set

Obviously inspired by the T.V. show Glee...

Miss Bossy Pants

Slushied

Celibacy Club

Gleek Out

Sue vs. Shue

Express Yourself to Yourself

Here are swatches of all the colors. I have to say this set has a good variety of color and the size of them is a good way to try out the color incase you wanted to buy the full size version. Celibacy Club reminds of Holorgram from the China Glaze Tronica Collection. =)

Hope this was helpful!!!

You can purchase this at Sephora or Sephora.com for $24

.::MAC Quite Cute Collection and Swatches::.

Hello Everyone!! I have a special collection I would like to share with you all and it is the MAC Quite Cute Collection!!! =) I only purchased a few items only because I believe this collection is geared more towards lighter skin tones. In reference I am an NC42-44, NC45 during summer so I am pretty tan. This collection focus on pastel pinky with a bit of shimmer and shine. With us tanned skin tones it may look a bit ashy on us. I chose items that looked good and went well with my skin tone. I read reviews on Temptalia and other beauty blogs and there were lots of mixed reviews. I know the quad in this collection alot of people were pretty upset on the pigmentation of the product so I didn't purchase that. I had 2 of the three lipliners in this collection as well, the plushglass were a bit sheer for me and the lipstick I wasn't too fond of so I chose wisely... lol!
