JULY 2014 FAVORITES

Beauty
Too Faced Melted Lipsticks- I bought two after I tried them on at Sephora and I need to get MORE!!! I'm going to get Melted Candy, Fig, and Berry next.
Maybelline Leather Color Tattoos- I love this new color selection and the fact that there are a lot of matte options. I layered Revolt on top of the Deep Forest color tattoo for a FOTD during the Electric Challenge and I really liked how it looked. See the look here
Shows & Movies

Botched- I use to love watching Extreme Makeover as a kid & this show is similar. Every episode two people come in to have previously botched surgeries fixed and one plastic surgery obsessed person is also featured. The show is pretty funny and I've learned a few interesting things here & there. 

Food & Drink

Naked Juice- Since I've been getting these for free I've tried out a few flavors and my favorite so far is the Mighty Mango flavor. Kale Blazer was disgusting I wouldn't recommend it at all.
Hershey's Cookie 'n' Creme- I was ADDICTED to these in highschool and ate them every.single.day. I quit cold turkey and have barely touched them since but when I got a free one last month the cravings kicked back in and I bought more at Walgreens!
Websites 

xfinity- xfinity on demand & live streaming have been keeping me occupied lately. I've also found that xfinity often has shows up a week or two in advance and it's been going on for months so maybe it's a thing.

  Screen Junkies Channel on Youtube- I've been marathoning their honest trailers and they're hilarious. Click here for the playlist. My personal fave so far is the honest trailer for The Lion King.

It's been raining A LOT this hurricane season and I realized that I don't have any good close toed shoes to wear on rainy days. I decided to buy these vans since they're neutral and lightweight. I can wear them on the days when I don't want to wear clunky rain boots or combat boots which can get hot.

Treat Yo Self Tuesdays: Coach Bleecker Preston Satchel & Wallet :D

I normally don't even walk into Coach but one day I saw the mini version of this bag on display in the window and it lured me in. After weeks of lusting after the purse I finally decided to get it as an early birthday gift for myself. This collection is on sale at Macys now so you can ask Coach to price match for you. I didn't know they did that until I mentioned to the saleswoman that it was cheaper at Macys and when she told me I was sold!

Personally, my local Macys doesn't carry these items in store so buying from Coach at the same price was an awesome alternative. Plus they wrap and box everything so beautifully! 

Anyway onto the good stuff!

Coach Bleecker Preston Satchel in Edgepaint Leather

STYLE NO. 30165

Tan and hot pink is my favorite color combo. I'm excited that I found a "big girl purse" that's sophisticated but also has a fun twist. 

Coach Bleecker Phone Wallet in Edgepaint Leather

STYLE NO. 62273

<3 <3 <3

Holy hot pink! I can see myself using this practically every day especially since it fits my iPhone perfectly! It also has a wristlet attachment so I can wear it on days when I don't need to bring an entire purse with me.

See the bag in way better lighting: here

& the wallet: here

Stay tuned for more poor financial decisions that are sure to come as my birthday continues to approach ;)

NEW Maybelline Leather Color Tattoo Swatches!!

I bought them on Ulta's website last week after I checked my local store and they didn't have them yet >:(

$6.99 $3.50

Creamy Beige, Vintage Plum, Deep Forest, Chocolate Suede, and Dramatic Black

I stacked ULTA's BOGO deal with a $3.50 off $10 coupon on each order and paid $6.99 for TWO tattoos instead of one. 

I also got free shipping for purchasing an Urban Decay item (which I already knew I was going to return). I chose a nail polish set that was on sale for $9 so I wouldn't break the bank seeing as I had to place 3 orders to get all of the tattoos.

~

These shades are super creamy and pigmented. I love how buttery they felt when I swatched them. They're all matte except for chocolate suede which reminds me of my favorite original color tattoo Bad to the Bronze only this shade is more of a chocolate brown like the name suggests.

~

Since I was basically getting the second tattoo for free I threw in a bonus color tattoo from the metal collection.

Inked in Pink

I have been meaning to grab this shade ever since I got the Naked 3 palette and now it's mine!
