Birthday presants are most exciting!

Alright, so in 2 weeks it'll be my birthday.
So my mom made me a deal, she will give me $100 to spend on anything i want.
Knowing my brother will be giving me the same amount I went on and used this $100 for acouple random things.
So, Firstly I went to MacCosmetics; OFCOURSE.
I got 3 items.

Sea and Sky eyeshadow duo
I absolutly fell in love with this product! I think the colours are gorgeous and give me 3 different colours and combine them together for a gorgeous look for the price of one!

Satin Lipstick called Snob


Then we went into sephora and i finally found myself a really good but cheap blending brush!

Sephora #29 blending brush

I dont have a photo of this but i also went into sephora to specificly get a tester of the urban decay primer potion. I know alot of people swear by it but ive went by someones word before and ended up not liking the product. So ill test it out.

Moving along to skin care. For awhile now i havent been using a cleanser, i know i know, thats horrible! But today i went and bought a St.Ives cleanser and im really excited to try it out! I love St.Ives products so far.

St.Ives Olive Cleanser; Deep cleans and Moisturizes skin.

To pair that off i also got a facial brush from the body shop. The girl said it would be a great combo with my cleanser because it does more deep cleaning and light exfoliating. So i thought id give it a go since it was only $3

So thats all I got. Im super excited about all of my purchases. Ill probably blog on my update and how everything worked out.
What were your most recent purchases?/What was your favourite birthday present you've ever received?

In's and Out's

So ive seen acouple of girls doing this on their blogs lately and i thought it would be really fun for me to do. Basically, you write the things that are In for you atm, and the things that are out as of yet.
Here we go!

Ins:

MAC's Steamy eye shadow; I absolutly loveeeeeeeee this colour. Its a gorgeous Bright bluish-green with golden shimmer that i like to wear going out when i want to do something a little more dramatic and colourful.

Sugar and Olive oil body scrub; As seen below its my new latest thing. I love the way it makes my skin so nice and silky! Im definitly going to try and maintain it for a 1 or 2 times a week routine.

Harry Potter!; Yeah thats right, i said it! The new harry potter movie just came out in theatres this past wed. It was absolutly amazing! Cheers to the cast and filming crew on stepping up their game and making this one of their better quality movies!

Boxers; I dont know about you ladies but i love wearing mens loose boxers when im lounging around at home, they are extreamly comfortable and have the cutest things on them. Im currently sporting Sponge Bob and Patrick ones!

Reading; Ive currently started getting back into reading and i regret ever stopping! Silly me. I am currently re-reading Impulse by: Ellen Hopkins. Her books are absolutly amazing! Everyone should check them out. Each of her books can reach out to various people in different situations. Even my boyfriend is intrigued by this specific book!

Outs:

Twilight; Movie wise, sorry Twilight but until your next movie comes out Harry Potter is my current love again<3 - And even then, im not making any promises.

Rain boots; I think they are absolutly horrendous. No matter what, even if they were by Dolce and Gabbana i wouldnt wear them. And ladies, why must you insist on wearing them when its 30 degrees out, cmonnnnnn.

Running shoes/Closed shoes; I dont know about you but I absolutly hate wearing closed shoes during the summer, i dont think ive warn closed shoes since May! Only time i ever do is if I have to go to work or im off to the gym.

Liquid liner; personally for me i cannot stand liquid liner anymore. It used to be my cosmetic fav until recently when i started purchasing gel liner.

Current shoe lines; is it just me or is the lastest seasonal line bringing in really unfortunate looking shoes. I have over 40+ pairs of shoes and yet this season i have barely bought 2 pairs because none seem appealing. They all have something i cannot stand about them. And if i love them, they are too much money for my liking! =(

Sugar and Olive Oil Exforliator

So last night i got really bored and i thought i would try something new, so i tried an at home exfoliater using sugar and Olive oil mixed together. Ladies (and guys who are interested?) this was one of the best combinations i have ever made! My skin was so soft! I put it all over my body so i used about less then have a cup for each products and mixed it together to make a semi pasty substance.

After running myself through water for a few minutes i put all over and then immediately washed it off and then followed it off with Olay body wash and St.Ives Moisturizer. My skin is absolutely soft and glowing! I was really impressed. It can be used for Body and Lips I personally wouldn’t use it for the face i think its a bit to rough. TRY IT OUT!
*Ill add photos very soon!
