wishlist (continued)
okay girlies, as promised, the rest of my wishlist :)
read the first entry so you understand that this isn't actually a wishlist- mostly stuff that i've heard raves about and want to try.
laura mercier tinted moisturizer- $42
so what's so great about this? i'm not really sure. i've heard so many raves about this, i have huge expectations. i think the reason expensive tinted moisturizers are good because they're usually better quality. and let's face it- we don't want to stuff our pores with some cheapo moisturizer, now do we? i'm not saying just because this is more expensive it's better, but that's just word on the street :)
">nars blush- $26
it's not so much the texture of this blush or anything, it's more the color. everyone and their grandmother has raved about orgasm. the blush. it looks good on so many people that wear it, which is why i too have fallen for it. on a different note, i've heard that elf's studio line blushing and bronzing powder has a blush that's almost a perfect dupe for this. just putting it out there.
">urban decay eyeshadow- $17
one of my favorite gurus, kelleeexann, has raved about this eyeshadow for a while now. she says that the shade foxy, a glittery cream color, is the best highlight on the face of this earth. so many people have told me that they really love this shadow, which is why i look forward to trying it :)
ugh, i'm never going to finish this :(
swim team. bleh. on a stick.

wishlist
hey girlies :)
long time no see. i start every post like that.
this has been a tough semester for me. just a lot of work, which i'm honestly not used to.
anyways, this is a list of products that i've heard great reviews about, whether it be from a youtube guru, or one of my friends. this is the high end product section. 
nars duo lip gloss trio- $49
i really want this because it looks like a great way to try out a bunch of nars lip glosses. i can never really justify buying a full tube of expensive lip gloss, because i never use them up, so this is good :) the shades you get are rose birman, chihuahua, sweet dreams, harlow, boogie nights, and giza. while they don't put their best sellers, like orgasm or turkish delight in here, i still think it's nice.
tarina tarantino conditioning lip sheen- $22, exclusively at sephora
i'm a huge fan of tinted lip moisturizers, so it should come as no surprise that i really want this. my friend just bought it, and she said it's great. i'm in love with all the shades, although i can't find one that's not very bold- the closest i've found is the shade queen alice, which is a pinkish brown.
benefit's benetint in posietint-$28
a ridiculous amount of gurus have raved about this, whether it's thisisisabella or allthatglitters21. they liked the darker shade, but i really don't have the audacity to wear that one :) it would look gorgeous on your lips with a nice pigmented gloss on top, maybe a dazzleglass?
dior diorshow mascara- $24
this is the mascara allthatglitters21 liked for a while, and i have always envied her eyelashes :) my only problem is that i can never finish a tube of mascara in 3 months, so spending $24 on a product i'll throw away soon seems pointless.
ehh, i have to go to tennis practice now :(
promise to finish this post. pinky promise.
<3 you

outfits for spring :)
hello there :)
how do normal people know it's spring? the abundance of shorts, flip-flops, and the burden of the end-of-the-year school assignments.
how do i know it's spring? one word: allergies.
yesss.
on a lighter note, here are some of my favorite outfits for this beautiful season :)
steal the look:
basic fitted tee- $3.50 at forever 21
navy floral shorts- $19.80 at forever 21
gold tassel necklace- $5.80 at forever 21
converse
i had some trouble making a set with this one- i had a vision in my head, but i couldn't find the clothes to go with it. i would choose a sheerer boatneck top, but alas, i couldn't find any online. check your local forever 21. also, i wanted a gold necklace that was more of a cluster-y type. again, good old forever 21. anyways, i think this is a cute outfit for those warmer days, and is nice and casual.
steal the look:
beaded lace back top- $25 at forever 21
tan moto jacket- $70 at american eagle outfitters
paris chambray bubble skirt- $15 at delia's
casamento flats- $70 at aldo
intricate petal ring- $3.80 at forever 21
while some of these pieces are a bit of a splurge, i still think that they're worth it. they're not like purple boots, or anything- you'll be able to wear them some other ways too. this is a nice outfit for those chilly spring nights, and if you wanted to, you could always throw on some tights.
steal the look:
pinstripe blazer- $50 at american eagle outfitters
activity v-neck tee- $4.80 at forever 21
exposed lace skinny jeans- $30 at forever 21
leaf tassel necklace- $4.80 at forever 21
tulloch sandals- $45 at aldo
while these shoes might not be the best choice, i still really like this outfit. i really like the combination of blazers with black jeans because i think it adds a nice edgy touch to the whole boyfriend look. the pink stripes on the blazer help to make it a little more girly.
all for now :)
love you
<3
