Makeup Haul - Mall of America!

YAY!
That's all I have to say about my recent trip to Mall of America this past weekend. Seriously, such a blast. A girl's paradise.

I will have another post shortly about the trip in general and what other stuff I got, but for makeup Monday I am going to share all of the makeup I got! Yay!

Sigma Flat Top Kabuki brush F80

Are Sigma stores everywhere? Or just here? I got my Sigma stuff online, I didn't even know they had a store... Either way, it was awesome. I already have the Make Me Cool Essential kit, so I didn't really need anything else. But I really liked this one. I use it to put on the blush I got....

This one! The Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee in Getaway Red 
I got this from Sephora. I knew I wanted a different cream blush because I haven't had the best experiences with those, so I asked a lady working there and she showed me this one and put it on me and it was gorgeous. I love it so far.

Also from Sephora I got the Urban Decay Naked Skin BB cream, but this was just a replacement of an empty one. I love this stuff also.

Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing Lip Color in Bravado

I got this in a sample at Sephora last year and I was obsessed with it, I always forgot to buy one so I was using every last bit of the sample. But there were two Bare Minerals stores in Mall of America, so I finally decided to buy a full sized one of my own. I love it, such a good fall color.

And last, but not least, the MAC lipsticks I got. I have never bought a MAC product before, so I decided to go there at the mall. At first I went to just look around, and decided to get a red lipstick because I was wearing it that day and haven't had luck liking any of the brands of red lips I have, so I tried on a bunch (thanks to the lovely salespeople there) and got RubyWoo. After wearing it for the day I don't know why I ever bought a different brand of lipstick, so I went back and got the color Media for fall. 

I am super happy with all of the makeup I purchased! Yayy!!

More to come soon :)

Let's Get Started

Alright...

It's time to get this blog together.

Clearly, as you can see, the lack of posting has been quite real since I've started the blog. Granted, I probably shouldn't have decided to start a blog just before back to school season started, clearly that was not going to work out. But this blog is something I was, and still am, excited about, and I'm not going to let my busy schedules get in the way of that excitement!

So, as I am finally getting used to this routine, I decided to make another routine for the blog. 

When I thought of the schedule I thought about what I like to read on other blogs. I'm sure that things will change as I continue to write and receive feedback. But for now this is what I've come up with. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Here it is:

Makeup Monday: I love makeup, seriously. Every Monday I will be here with a post on beauty products: reviews, look of the day, hauls, recent purchases; it'll all be coming here at some point. :)

What's Up Wednesday: I don't know about you, but my favorite blogs are the ones that give me an insight on their life and personality. So I thought I'd share mine with you! On Wednesdays you can expect posts that just reflect me. What's going on in my life, things I've seen lately that I'm liking, iPhone photos, comments on everything in general. Just me :)

Fashion Friday: Basically, instead of an OOTD post on various days, I am going to share with you all my outfits from the week on Fridays. I'm talking alllll seven days here people. Even the bum days. Not going to pretend those days don't exist. :)

These are the days I am scheduling the blog posts. I am not guaranteeing they will ALWAYS be on time, but I am going to do my very best to keep up with it. On the day in between expect posts about food (cooking and baking and such), parties, and a little bit extra.

Let me know whacha think.

XOXO
