What came in my September Little Black Bag

This was my first time ordering from this site, but I absolutely love it! It's so fun to trade with other people! So if you don't know, Little Black Bag is a subscription site, and it's about $50 per month, but it's sooooo worth it! You pick one item from their choices that you definitely want in your bag, add it. And  then when you check out, they give you an additional 2-3 items. Now, if you don't like those other 2 items, you can trade them! You have one week to trade as many times as you want and try to get what items you would like. Also, you can skip any month that you'd like, as many times as you'd like. You don't have to purchase something during a certain month and it doesnt charge you for that month. I really lucked out with the items that I got after I checked out. I did trade the earrings, but once I got the trade to get them back, I took it because I changed my mind and did want them. So this is what I got! 


This purse is the item that I chose at the beginning. I don't have anything like this, and most of my clothes are pink, so that automatically attracted me to this. I got it to match my clothes so I can get more use out of it. It's so cute, exactly what I expected from it. The two front pink straps come out and the top is buckled down. The inside is very boxxy, and as you can see it's LEOPARD PRINT. ahh! so cute! there is a cell phone pocket on one side, and a zipper pocket on the other. I'm so happy with this item! This was originally $68 I believe, so right there, I already paid for the subscription. 

 These were the earrings that I got, and at first I didnt really like them. But the more I looked at them, I started to like them. I really like that they're so long. Also, the balls at the top are so cute! The bottoms are individual little chains that loosely hang down.These are really light weight. These were originally $18.
 This was the last thing that came with my Little Black Bag. It's a set of 3 yellow Bhudda coin purses. These really are the perfect size. When I saw them in the picture on the site, I thought they were going to be smaller, especially since they're "coin purses." The smallest one is definitely a coin purse size, but the big one is perfect for a purse makeup bag. It's fairly large and you could easily fit your essentials in it. I absolutely love the inside fabric! The outside feels like a faux leather I guess. And the zipper is very nice. I love the little "B" on the zipper pull. These are so great! and I love the yellow color! These were originally $30. 



So, as you can see I got great items for only less than $50. If I didnt use this site, I would have paid full price for each, which would come out to $116! So I saved about $70. SCORE. If you guys haven't already, I realllly really think you should go check this site out! Also, you can purchase a one time bag, but it costs a little more. You can cancel your subscription any time. There are hundredS of options to chose from! I wanted all of them! hehe

Nails of the day <3

I used Butter London base coat and top coat. I put a black polish by Love & Beauty on first, then Butter London's Victorian. I love these 2 together. By putting the black on first, it gives it a really nice dark shimmery teal. I love this color for fall! Hope you enjoy <3

Birthday Haul!

I didn't get that much this year, but I really love what I did get! There are better shopping opportunities here so my mom just told me to pick out what I want, and this is what I got! 
 I absolutely love this shirt! I've been seeing all the hype on youtube about sheer tops. I saw this at Rue21 and I instantly fell in love with it! It's an offwhite sheer button-up. You can dress it up with a mini skirt, wear it casual with some jeans, or even wear it to an interview or something! My boyfriend told me to pick something out and he'd buy it for me, and this is what I chose :) 
 CAANNNDDDLLES! These 3 are from Bath and Body Works. They smell sooo yummy! I got Marshmallow Fireside, Frosted Cupcake, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Plum Wine Amber, and Cranberry Woods. I've been burning Frosted Cupcake since the day after I got it and everytime I walk into my room I just get this huge whiff of cupcake smell! My roommates walk into my room just to smell the cupcakes! Definitely a hit. Also, I got the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin one so my boyfriend doesnt have to smell all these sweet scents all the time :) 
 This was just a regular shirt that I got. I don't have any striped shirts. I was at Aeropostale and was looking in the sale section and spotted this little gem. I got it for more than 50% off! great deal. It's a loose fitted, 3/4 sleeve, and it kinda hangs off the shoulder. I haven't had the chance to wear this yet, but I really like it! 
Ahhhh! Favorite perfume I've ever smelt! The salesman sprayed it onto the little sample sheet and it was love at first site! If you like sweet, kind of fruity scents like I do, I definitely recommend this! SO yummy! And my boyfriend also really really likes it :) Great purchase!

They feel amazing on, easy to blend.   It wont hurt just to look! If you try anything, I'm sure you'll be going back for more!

I saw a video about this "fish tale" nail polish look. Its so pretty, I decided to try it, but I only wanted it on my  ring finger. I used Nude, Mango Madness, and Fire Coral all from Elf Cosmetics. This was pretty easy, after you watch the video. Here's the tutorial if anyone would like to try it. 
Also, the site for my nail polish: www.eyeslipsface.com

I got my Urban Decay Eyeshadows in!



My Urban Decay Vintage Eyeshadows came in! The packaging is just plastic and it feels very cheap, but I love the product that are inside of them! The colors are so gorgeous and I'm very excited to start using them! I hope you enjoy my first impressions of these colors! Also, I've heard so many good things about the primer potions, and I'm really glad that I got samples. But I think I'll only be able to get one use out of them, so I wont really be able to give a very accurate review on them :( 



This one is called Freelove. It's such a pretty pink coral color. I'd say it has some duochrome orange specks in it. I love this color for all over the lid. It's very pigmented and the orange specks really come out on the eyelid, so I kind of have to be careful with how much I put on. But this is a very pretty color! 



This one is Half Baked.This is a very pretty shimmery goldy-brown color. This is also a good all over the lid color. You can either have a very light shimmery inner corner color or build it up and get a really nice light brown. I love neutral colors, and this is one of my favorites! 


Oh my gosh this color is gorgeous! The name is Lounge. It's a dark brown but also has some pink in it. It has a duotone of like a teal blue. I was not expecting it to look like this when I ordered it, but I think I love this more. When you put it on your lid, it does look pretty pink. So it's not too much of a crease color, but it's too dark for me for an all over the lid color. This is a great color for fall! 



This is Midnight Cowboy. My camera makes it look pretty brown, but it's actually a very nudey-pink color. There are big flecks of sparkle in it, which I happen to like. This is a great color for an all over lid, or an inner corner. You kind of have to pack it on though. I love all the sparkle!



This one is Midnight Cowgirl. This one is very sparkly, and very pale. The sparkles are pretty big, they're definitely sparkles and not shimmer. But I love this one for the inner corner as well. The sparkles have kind of goldy-yellow tone to them. This is a very pretty color. 


Oh my gosh! I love this one! I usually dont go for greens, but this is such a pretty color I couldnt resist it! This one is very shimmery, and would be a great all over the lid color for a fall look. It's a darker green, but the shimmer is more of a lighter shade of green. This would look great with any eye color. I have hazel eyes, and it just makes the green pop out! The name is Mildew. Just the name kind of turned
me off, but I'm so glad I decided to get it anyway! 



This one is Secret Service. This is a matte medium brown color. You really have to build this up to get the color, but on the lid it looks great. I'll use this for my outer 3rd for a neautral look and I think it'll look really pretty. Not much to say about this because it's just a normal matte brown color.


This color is Twice Baked. Ahh, I'm obsessed with this color! It's a brown with pink and gold flakes of shimmer. It's pretty dark but it looked soooo pretty all over the lid! I absolutely love the different color shimmer! I predict that I'm going to use the heck out of this shadow! I just love it so much! 




I love this color as well! This is the first color that caught my eye and attracted me to these shadows! My whole order was based around this color and as you can see, it led to all of these other shadows! It has a very pretty coral undertone, and then a goldy-orange shimmer in it. The shimmer is very fine, and it's a great color for all over the lid. 



It's my 18th birthday tomorrow, so I kind of splurged this week. I'll be getting more packages in the mail! I'll make sure that I upload pictures, share, and review everything that I ordered! <3 















Just some random photography that I've taken in the last couple months!
