So.... I've been meaning to post this but I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time. These are purchases I made a while ago. I wanted to share what I got because I think they were really good deals!
First... Forever 21! I'm not a huge F21 fan but their jewelry is cute and cheap and hey, I'm cute and cheap too! =)
The big trend out right now is feathers...in your hair, on your head and on your ears! So I saw this 3 pack of feather earrings and HAD to buy them... only $3.80! Brown, pink and white feathers! So cute!
The next thing I bought was this set of bracelets. I'm big into the look of pearls because I think it's a classic look. I just liked the way these looked together. They aren't attached so you can mix and match what you want! Again... $3.80!
Next I want to talk about my Ulta purchase. I heard that all of their NYX products were buy one and get one half off so I had to take part! I've really been wanting to try the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils so I ordered 4 of them! They are normally $4.50 a piece... so it's like I bought 3 and got the 4th one free! One thing I LOVE about ordering on ulta.com is that you get to choose free samples to go along with your purchase!
The colors I picked for my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils were: Horse Radish (light green), Iced Mocha (light brown), Cottage Cheese (shimmery white) and Strawberry Milk (light pink).
I love using the eye pencils before putting on shadow, kind of like a primer but with color! I've noticed that it makes my shadow last longer throughout the day and it really holds the color. I'm completely satisfied with them! Love them! I tried the sample of the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer and thought it was nice. It's a little greasy but it made my skin feel smooth instantly. I liked it but I wouldn't purchase it. I can't say that I've tried the other samples yet but I look forward to it!
If you have questions about any of these products just comment below!
Have a great weekend!!

Skin care: I've been a little obsessed with my eye area... I've been reading all these articles about starting in your 20's with anti-aging treatments! AH! I've tried so many products and I always go back to one. The Mary Kay Indulge Soothing Eye Gel. It firms, it de-puffs (is that a word?) and it makes my tired, single mommy eyes look awake and refreshed! I smooth it on before bed and when I wake up in the morning. It really does wake my eyes right up! I love it! $15
Cosmetics: I use my NYX Eyeshadow Base everyday. Before, my eyeshadow would slowly fade during the day and I'd look like I didn't have any on at all by 4pm! I discovered this shadow base a few months ago and I haven't gone without it since! It makes the pigments in the shadow brighter and it also makes them last longer on my skin. It instantly smoothes and evens out the skin on and around my eyelids. You can pick it up from 
Hair care: Everyone has been raving and writing about dry shampoo so I figured I'd try it! Now, I know there are many kinds out there and most are pretty expensive so I wanted to try a cheaper kind first in case I didn't like it. I went to Giant Eagle and picked up Suave's Dry Shampoo. I usually go every other day without washing my hair because it's so thick and curly. I waited a day to use it on my roots and WOW... it's great!! It put volume back in my hair and it looked like I just blew out my hair! It works and it smells AMAZING. Just spray on your roots and rub into your roots and your good to go!! $3
Clothing: I know it's spring time and it's warming up but I live in Ohio and it's still cold! I love wearing dresses but it's still too cold to go all out. Instead of keeping my dresses in the closet, I just pair them up with leggings! I can look cute in my dresses without freezing my butt off!! YAY!!! This is one of my favorite dresses. It's from Kohls and it's by Elle. It's a printed smock dress. It's comfy and stylish and I wear black leggings with it and it's perfect!
