Dillards Hauullll!!! Extra 40% off clearance :)

I got this brown headband it has little gold details all around the headband. It was only like $2, SCORE!

I bought these Mustard colored wedges, they are super comfy and they have this buckle detailing on the side of the shoe. The brand is Naya.

Blue Polka Dot Gianni Binni dress, it reminds me of a pin up girl and looks super cute on. Very light weight material and great for summer and work.

Betsy Johnson bracelet, I love her jewelry, it is so quirky and out there but yet still girly.


I think I definitely went over my budget, no retail therapy for at least a month or so.

Subtle Glitter


Today I am wearing Skull and Glossbones(OPI Pirates of the Caribbean Collection) with a diagonal line of subtle glitter, OPI's Spark De Triomphe from the Serena Williams collection. I actually liked the way it turned out. I was just experimenting with some of the nail colors I have not worn yet and it turned out very feminine.

Tarte by Trueblood review





A couple of posts ago I bought the Tarte by True Blood palette and I thought I would come back and do a mini review after working with it for about a week.


Overall I am not really impressed with this palette compared to my Urban Decay and Mac eyeshadows. I think the formula for the eyeshawdows make the super chalky and hard to work with. 5 of the colors have microglitter in them so the fallout for these are terrible, you will have glitter all over your face by the time you are done. This is definitely a palette you HAVE to work with and I am just a person that likes to slap on the color and go, I don't want to pay special attention to a product and have to get up 30 minutes earlier for work to do so.


As far at the primer goes, nothing special about it, works just as well as urban decay or benefit primer.


The mascara is good, I can pretty much get all my lashes covered with the small application brush it comes with.


I actually do LOVE the aqua eyeliner. It is the blackest eyeliner I own. At first it is a bit hard to work with and akward but I have gotten use the application and now it is just easy to swipe and go. When putting the eyeliner on there is a bit of a weird sensation, like cold water running across your lid, maybe that is why it is called "aqua."

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2




I saw a picture of some Harry Potter nails (Nails by Asami) and had to try to recreate the look on my nails. This was a challenge for me since I am pretty much a beginner at the whole nail art thing. I think I did alright though, mine don't look as near as good as hers, lol! :)



Well here are my nails, hope you enjoy!

Tarte for True Blood Palette






I was visiting Orlando, FL the other day and I ran into this palette at Sephora and absolutely had to have it. It is the new palette for the hit TV series(and books) True Blood.

It comes with 17 eyeshadows, a mini primer and mascara and an black aqua liner. It is priced at $52(kind of pricey). I can see myself creating alot of looks with this palette from day to night. I did notice that five of the colors do have micro-glitter in them and that may get a bit messy(fallout).

I haven't used the palette yet since I just got it. I will have to work with it for a week and come back and let you guys know my thoughts.
