Good News!

I finally found the little bracelet I love on Charming Charlie’s website! I think they just added it. You can find it here.

Here’s the outfit I wore it with the other day to church:

In a funny twist, the website describes the bracelet’s charms as acorns and Faberge-inspired eggs! Hit the nail on the head with that one, huh?

I also tried my Nars Luminous Weightless Foundation sample this same day:

While I love the coverage this foundation provides, I find it a bit too matte for me. My forehead was a bit cakey, and after a few hours my nose and cheeks were the same. The shade of this was a spot on match for me, so that’s another plus. Overall, I love the coverage, but I can’t get over how dry it was on my skin. 😦

That’s all for now!

PS: Has anyone seen Reign on the CW? I found it on Netflix and it’s gotten a little out of hand…the clothes!

Meet Me at the Pineapple

On Monday, my boyfriend and I took a quick trip to Portland! I’ve been a few times, but never actually to enjoy things so it was a nice adventure! We stayed in a beautiful hotel, ate amazing food, and shopped in a five (!) story mall. So much fun!

The Sephora I went to was huge! I was in there for days checking every little thing out, and I could’ve gladly spent rent in there but I narrowed it down to just one product 🙂

I have quite a few foundations and BB creams and everything in between, so, as much as I wanted to, I decided I should hold off and instead buy something that will help me use the ones I have more often. I decided on this concealer by Cover FX because it’s really highly-pigmented and will give that full-coverage I want. I prefer to have a light base all over, then conceal well instead of just a full-coverage foundation all over – usually. This should help with that, and help me to use the bases I already have more often.

I did pick up some samples as well! I’m going to try out the Nars Luminous Weightless Foundation (a very full-coverage foundation that I think may be too heavy for me but we’ll see!), and the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation. The Nars one intrigues me though it’s so full-coverage, because it could be a one-step-wonder. The few times I’ve tried it on, it’s been a bit too matte for my liking though, so I’m going to try it for real and figure it out once and for all! The Bobbi Brown one is great…it’s hydrating and light with great coverage that still looks like skin. For me, that’s ideal. However, it’s a bit too spendy for me right now so I’m just going to sample it and make sure it’s as wonderful as I think! I also got a mini perfume with my VIB points there 😉

I was also pretty well behaved at the mall (no easy feat with a two-story Forever 21 and a three-story H&M!), and only picked up one thing for myself…

Now, don’t ask me why I got this bracelet…I have no idea why. It’s gaudy and big and not at all my usual style. But, for some inexplicable reason, I was drawn to this and kept going back to it! I just think there’s something so cute about it! I spent forever at Charming Charlie trying to make up my mind about this, but I decided I’d regret it if I didn’t get it, and I promised myself I’ll wear it often! Judge me if you must, but I just think it’s the cutest thing.

That’s all for now!
