Jewelry Haul

Hey everyone! I have been meaning to do this post for a while now but for some reason, it always got pushed back. Maybe its because of all the spotted posts that I try to keep up with. Anyways, this store was closing down in my area and I went in not knowing what to get but was hoping to score a couple of better than great deals. I mean if a store is closing down, thats when you definitely need to go crazy and not have to worry about the prices because everything is clearanced down. I know you all feel the same way as me!! At this store, I guess I arrived a bit late because pretty much everything was wiped out and they employees had closed down all the aisles and only left a small area of the front of store open to shoppers. I sort of wished that I had found out earlier but oh well. As I was walking around, I spotted these bracelets from the brand Pure Expressions. I knew that they would be great for stacking with other bracelets. They are just silver beads with mint blue round beads. I thought that they were so cute and definitely a great deal since they were originally $5.99 but I bought them for $0.60 plus tax!! I am a bit sad that this was the only thing that I could find that wasn't damaged or messed with but I am still happy that I walked out with these!!

Since I decided to post up a jewelry haul, I thought that I should post up another piece that I bought. As I was waking up and getting ready to do my makeup, I opened up the blinds to my window and noticed that across the street from my house, the neighbors were having a garage sale. Heck yeah, especially since if I bought a bunch of stuff, I wouldn't have to carry everything so far since all I had to do was cross the street. Haha! I didn't know what they were selling but I wanted to check it out anyways but I love garage sales since they tend to have some good things on sale. Plus another man's junk is another man's treasure. Haha! Apparently they were just selling some old furniture but the lady was selling some Mary Kay items. I guess she's a representative for Mary Kay since she also had some brochures. She was selling a bunch of jewelry pieces, skincare, and some makeup. I wasn't really into the makeup or skincare since when I opened up the drawers holding them, the space was hot. I guess they had it stored in a hot place before the garage sale. I didn't want to risk it since makeup and skincare items tend to go bad when they are stored in hot places. Plus she was selling them for regular price, which I checked in the brochures. If I was interesting in any of the products, I would rather order online from the Mary Kay items since they would be brand new and stored correctly. Anywhos, I did end up liking some of the jewelry pieces that she was selling. She had a bunch of duplicates. One piece that I was interested in was this necklace. I thought that it would be perfect with a dress and/or a casual outfit. Its a pretty heavy piece and looked like it wouldn't be rusting anytime soon. The closure is a twist off, which I didn't really like but was fine with. I tried it on and instantly loved it. I bought it for only $3, which isn't that bad in my opinion for a necklace. So that was all that I bought at the garage sale.

Review: Lypsyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer

Hey everyone! If you didn't know already, I received this product through Influenster in their Naturals VoxBox 2012. If you would see that post and know which products that I received, you can CLICK HERE. Since I received this lypmoisturizer, I have been using it nonstop and everyday for this review. Since I am halfway done with this, I thought that it would now be the perfect time to finally start my review.

WHAT:
Taken from the Infleunster website, "created with pure Swedish beeswax, organic shea butter and vitamins A and E for long-lasting, deep-penetrating moisture and lip care protection. LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer™ helps moisturize, soften and protect your lips naturally." This lypmoisturizer is a natural lip balm to help keep your lips moisturized, which is one of the things that I love about this product. I just love how it feels on my lips and how it lasts a long time. Since using this product, my lips have actually felt softer.

PACKAGING:
This packaging is actually a bit different from your typical lip balm packaging. I am not sure if you can tell in the pictures but the tube is actually an oval shaper whereas your typical lip balm tube packaging is round and circular. LypSyl likes to describe the packaging as an "unique one-hand side allowing for quick application and the oversize application top ensures this ultra-light formula spreads evenly for better lip coverage." Because of the one-hand side packaging, its pretty big on my lips. Usually I would have to swipe on lip balm twice, one on my top lip and another application on my bottom lip but with this one-hand side packaging, all I have to do is put my lips together and swipe once. Also the typical lip balm tube is a twisty, where you would have to twist the bottom of the tube to get the product to come out but with the Lypsyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer, there is a cute bee on the side of the tube that you would have to slide up to get the product up and slide down to push the product down. Its actually a cute idea and concept. I think more brands should do something similar with this. I always get compliments on this lip balm whenever I have people over at my house and I have it on my coffee table for easy access or when I am out and about and have to pull this out of my purse. My friends and family members always think that the bee is cute and interesting that you just have to slide it either up or down to get the product.

CLAIMS:
1. Refreshes lips
2. Moisturizes lips
3. Heals and protects lips
4. Softens and heals lips

INGREDIENTS:
Taken from the packaging, "Mineral oil, Petrolatum, Paraffin Hydogenated Cocunut Oil, Ceresin, Beewas, Flavor, Certified Organic Butyrospermum Parkli (Shea Butter) Fuit, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate), and Bixa Ordellanna Seed Extract"

SCENT:
This lip balm does have a scent to it. It smells minty, which is pretty nice because its always nice to have minty scented lips in my opinion. Once its on your lips, you really can't smell it but if someone kisses or leans really close to you, they might be able to smell it.

WHERE TO BUY:
You can find this at retail stores like WalMart, WinnDixie, Bed Bath & Beyond, RiteAid, CVS, Walgreens and other locations To find out which locations sell this near you, you can CLICK HERE.

Overall, I really like this LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer and will be sad when I run out of it. I am already half through the tube and will probably be finished by the end of this month. It keeps my lips moisturized and really keeps them soft all day. Plus I love the minty smell and how it feels on my lips. It gives my lips a minty tingle sensation whenever I apply this. To me, it sort of feels like those plumping lip glosses, where they would make your lips tingle and give the appearance of plumper lips. Its not as strong of as a tingle compared to those lip glosses, so don't worry if your lips are overly sensitive. Besides the feeling that it gives to my lips, I really do love the cute packaging with the bee on the side. Once I am done with this, I do see myself repurchasing this. I also just found out that LypSyl also has this in Honey Berry flavor, which really sounds interesting!! If you are looking for a new lip balm to try out, I would definitely recommend this.

Swatches: Too Faced Romantic Eye Classic Eye Shadow Collection

Hey everyone! If you saw my previous post, then you would know that I was sucked into Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty sales and bought myself the Too Faced Romantic Eye palette when it was on sale for only $20 plus tax. At first, I wasn't sure about buying this palette but after checking out the swatches online, I couldn't help myself and just had to have it. I thought that this was just perfect for creating soft and feminine eye looks. This is definitely a palette that I could see myself using for my wedding day, if I was getting married. Haha! Hey, this palette is more geared towards brides since that is the whole theme of the palette with the names of the shadows being wedding related. Plus its great for people who are fair and light skin, like me!

Okay, onto the actual palette. If you didn't know already, these Too Faced palettes come with nine eye shadows and three cards to help the user create certain eye looks using this palette. I don't personally use the cards because I wish that they had included pictures of real eyes than drawings. Is that just me? This palette has mattes and shimmers.

The 9 shadows in the palette are:
♦ Soulmates - Shimmering Nectar, shimmery ivory
♦ Kiss the Bride - Pink Petal, matte light pink
♦ Bouquet Toss - Baby's Beath, matte cream beige
♦ I Do - Smokey Taupe, matte taupe with a hint of plum
♦ Cut the Cake - Heathered Mist, shimmery lavendar
♦ Honeymoon - Gilded Fern, shimmery gold
♦ Un-Veil - Smoldering Coal, matte dark brown
♦ First Dance - Midnight Orchid, matte dark purple
♦ Ever After - Spicy Chocolate, shimmery bronze

All-in-all, I am in love with the pigmention of these shadows. I love wearing soft eye looks and this palette is definitely great for that. Plus I love the names for the shadows. Even though this palette is more known for its soft shadows, there are also deep shadows in here that you can use to create smokey eyes. I usually don't do smokey looks since I have monolids and I feel like its a little too much for my lids but I love using the darker shades lightly in the outer corner. I can really see this palette being great for those who love soft looks to smokey ones and for those who are just girly.

QUESTIONS:
Have you seen the Too Faced Romantic Eye Shadow Collection?
Would you be tempted to buy this palette for yourself?
