Target Haul!

Target is one of my all time favorite department store. I go there for everything! I even go to Target when I don't need to buy anything, I just like to go walk around, browse, and kill some time. If I end up buying something then I do. I always go to the Target dollar section when I first walk into the store.

Here's what I picked up while I was at Target: Multi/mix necklace

*FYI: All items were purchased by me with my own personal money*

Here is the necklace that I bought. Since I got it, I notice that I been leaning toward picking it up to wear with most of my outfits. I really like this necklace because it's not too loud of a piece nor is it too small that it goes unnotice while wearing it. This was this only one I found and I had to get it because you can dress up or dress down with this piece. I really like the mixture of the different details of the necklace. And best of all, I got this item on sale!

Top Pick Blushes of Summer 2010

I am the type of person who can't wear make up without a blush. My cheeks almost always have to be flush or with some sort of hue. I feel that having blush gives your face that glowing freshness. I am a blush addict, whenever I head out to the store, I always stop to browse the cosmetics section and when I do, I tend to check out the blush collection they carry even if I am not in the market for a new blush. 

Lately, I found myself using only my MAC blush palette. When I travel or go places, I just bring my top used palette with me. I find that a lot easier then having to lug around a bunch of individual blush and end up not using it or what not. 


Here are my top blushes with swatches.

Left to right:
MAC Creme blushes in LADYBLUSH, SWEET WILLIAM; MAC Powder blushes in BRIGHT CORAL (MAC Pro Color), and DOLLYMIX

Swatches:
MAC Crem Blushes: LADYBLUSH, SWEET WILLIAM, MAC Powder blushes: Bright Coral (MAC Pro Color), and DOLLYMIX

Hope you enjoyed! And feel free to share what your favorites are, it does not have to be MAC.

My New Curling Iron!

I was in search for a good 1" curling iron for a while now. I never seem to find the one I like when I go browsing for one. I wanted something that looked good, safe for my hair, in my price range, basically the "perfect" curling iron! I think I may have found it! I went to ULTA to look for a face wash and decided to browse around since I was there. I decided to check out their collection of hair tools and did not find anything that caught my eye, so I decided to leave, and just when I turned the corner, there it was! The package and the curling iron appealed to me. It was in a decent price range ($19.99), so I decided to get it. When i took it home, I was very excited to try it out. And to my surprise, it worked really nice. It heated up pretty fast. It was light weight. It curled my hair quickly (about 5-10 seconds). My curls lasted all night and all I used was my TRESemme Heat Tamer Spray. Also, I really like the color of it, black and silver, simple and sleek looking. The spring grip holds hair with the perfect tightness without pulling or tugging on your hair and easy to open and close while in use. There is also a light that stays on idicating that the curling iron is turned on. Seperate on/off switch, which is great. It's actually a switch so you don't accidently press it and turn off the iron. 

My new curling iron!

Cool tip = No finger burn, 8 ft. tangle proof swivel cord, and Non-slip padded grip

On/Off Switch (Push side-to-side to turn on or off)

Turn dial with adjustable heat setting (280°F- 430°F)

Hope you enjoyed this and that it was helpful for those of you looking for a curling iron with a great deal!

Beauty Tip Monday #1

BAD HAIR DAY!!!


Don't you hate those days when you wake up in the A.M. and you are having one of those bad hair days! Here are some tips in helping to prevent another one of those days


1. Get a good haircut. Having a good haircut helps make hair easier to style and manage


2. I know this will sound bad but try to limit washing your hair. Washing your hair too much can wash out the natural oil in your hair and dries it out. Wash it every other day or whenever it looks like it needs to be washed


3. Stay away from alcohol-based hair products. Hair products that contains alcohol will dry out your hair and make them brittle.


4. Got flyaway hair?! Rub dry, flyaway hair with a fabric softner sheet. This is not only for your laundry but it also helps prevent hair from sticking together or being too static-y

Hope these tips help! Happy hair day!
