Orly Nail Polish in Glowstick: When I saw this nail polish in Ingrid‘s video (btw, if you’re not subscribed to her on youtube…you need to…immediately!), I immediately ran to Ulta to pick it up for myself. It is the most perfect neon highlighter yellow in the entire world. It goes completely opaque in two coats, which is incredibly rare in a neon polish, but I like to layer it over a white polish to really make the color pop. It is kind of in-your-face bright, but just put it on your nails! It makes me happy every time I look at it!
Coterie just recently launched, and it’s already become a website that I visit daily. It’s a daily deals website like Hautelook, but it exclusively features beauty products. They had an incredible deal on Butter London polishes last week. They’re normally $14 each, but they were offering a package with three full-size polishes and a full-size Matte Finish top coat (normally $18) for $36. That’s almost half off of the retail price, so I was thrilled that I was able to score this set as an iFabbo member! The colors are so unique!
Vegas: My friends are probably going to laugh when they see that Las Vegas is one of my favorites. I’m a huge homebody, so I always thought that I would hate Las Vegas. Much to my suprise, I love the classier bits of the city! I had a great time on my first trip, and this time was just as great. We went to a few incredible restaurants, and Ryan and I went to see Cirque du Soleil’s Ka with some friends! It was such an incredible show, and I can’t wait to visit again! Side note: I am OBSESSED with my new in the photo from Ka. They’re incredibly comfortable, and they go with everything!
My Heisenberg Shirt: If you think that you won’t like Breaking Bad, you’re wrong. I honestly don’t know anyone who hasn’t become completely obsessed after starting it. I had to pick up a Heisenberg shirt (and one for Ryan- they’re were BOGO 50%!) after the season ended to get my Breaking Bad fix.
Birchbox: Even though I’ve been subscribed to Birchbox for over a year, I’m still surprised each month when I find it in my mailbox. I loved the Color Club nail polish in my box this month, and I was able to cash in my Birchbox points from previous boxes to get two makeup palettes ($60 value!).
Hourglass * and *: I’ve been loving this eyeliner and mascara all summer. Both products are on the pricey side, but if they are both very high quality. The mascara is great at really packing on product at the base of the lashes without getting clumpy. The eyeliner has a very thin, stiff brush, so you have complete control of the product.
: I have a busy crazy schedule, so I need to be super organized with my calendar. While I love my Google calendar that syncs to my iPhone, I still need to have my trusty paper planner with me. This year I chose the Lilly Pulitzer jumbo agenda, and I’m completely head over heels in love. It’s huge, girly, and it comes with stickers! What more could a girl ask for?
Glade Expressions Line*: This month I was able to test out two products from Glade’s Expressions line* through BzzAgent, and they are incredible. I usually go for more expensive home fragrance products like Bath and Body Works or Yankee Candle, but I was completely impressed with both scents that I tested. Pineapple and Mangosteen is the yummiest tropical fruit scent, and the Fuji Apple and Cardamom Spice is a wonderful fall cinnamon apple scent! My apartment smells incredible, and I’ll definitely be purchasing these products in the future!
