Quick Tip for All You Glam Shopoholics Out There!

There are lots of popular stores that are having specials clubs that either give you points towards a reward every single time you make a purchase, give you special offers, prices, discounts, or give you the occasional free gifts. These rewards clubs are usually free. Here's a list of stores that are having these opportunities! BTW, if any of you guys know of any other stores that are doing this that I have not yet listed, please let me know!

Victoria's Secret
Sign up here! So, once you are signed up and all that jazz, you will
be notified of store events, sales, and new fashion alerts.

Victoria's Secret's PINK NATION
While you are at it, join the PINK NATION as well! I am so glad I joined because of all the great offers. I've been given really awesome deals. I even got a free panty once with an additional 10% off of my other purchases. They also usually have gifts along with discount specials for their new members.

American Eagle Outfitters
They don't have it on the site, but they do have this in stores. Just walk in the store and ask for their discount cards- that's what I did. Using this card gives me points toward different kinds of rewards and it gives discounts as well. They'll give you a regular sized card and a smaller card to attach to your keychain.


ULTA
For those who don't know what ULTA is, it is a store that sells lost and lots of different beauty products from fragrances to make up to hair products. Depending on your location as well, these stores sometimes may have salons. They almost always have clearance and sales. I just really love this store. So, by joining their rewards club, you get discounts and earn points in store and online. You also receive valuable coupons.

Cute Shoes for $30 and Under

These pair of shoes would make a great staple
for a great "night out" outfit.

Basic heels are sadly overpriced a lot of the time
but I found these cute suede peep-toe heels for under $20.
I just love suede and the bow is just the icing on the cake!

These heels are quite unique and interesting. I really
love how it looks, but it's definetly not something that
you can just match up with anything.

Short Cowgirl Boots!

I know it is far from summer, but these are a cute pair of tribal sandals
that you can rock with some skinny jeans or tights.

The weather has gotten chillier which means it is time
to warm up and get your hands on some boots. I am not
a fan of buckles, but these boots are an exception for me.
The buckles actually look great and I also love how the boots
are a bit slouched.

This is a basic light brown pair of peep-toe heels.
Right now, they are only $9.90!! These heels also come in black.

I love these moccasins. These can be great for house slippers and can also
make a great pair of flats to wear out.

I hope this helped you ladies out! :)

Review & Swatches: NYX's Runway Collection 10 Palette

I absolutely love these palettes! I have only purchased one so far, the "Super Model" one, and have been using it for a few months now. So, here is my opinion on it. These eyeshadows are very creamy and smooth, yet they are pressed powders. They do not come out at all powdery. These eyeshadows are quite pigmented and pretty long lasting. I've made a few swathes on my hand for you guys to see. When trying to wash the shadows off of my hand, it wouldn't come off easily. I had to scrub it off so that tells you that the shadows will really last. The price for these bad boys aren't bad either! I paid $9 for my palette, but you can find them for even cheaper. It all depends where you look. If you do not know where to order NYX cosmetics online, here's a link to a website that are selling them. http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/nyx-10-palette-super-model.html
This website is owned by a make up guru, Marlena also known as Makeup Geek, on Youtube.

SWATCHESS! :D


BTW, I did not use a primer or base before applying the shadows on.
Imagine what they would look like with a primer or base!

I was so excited when I saw this set. Doesn't it just make you drool? :)

Mascara Mess?

I find that a lot of the time, at least for me anyway, that when I am in a hurry getting ready and putting some make up on, I get smudged spots on my eyelids from applying mascara. It especially stinks when you have put some work into the eyeshadow and it is now all ruined by the smudges. I have a cool tip to share with you guys. I always do this step now when doing my mascara. I, however, did not think this up myself, Michelle Phan on youtube did. She basically explains everything step by step. This technique also helps you apply every single lash with mascara. Enjoy you guys... :)
