My Sephora (Amazon order) package came in the mail today! I was so excited and it's everything I hoped it would be! There are 5 individual palettes and then a small carrying case , each of the palettes pop out & fit into in so you can take them on the go! They each come with 6 eyeshadows, 1 blush & 1 lipgloss.

(From bottom left to bottom right: Hot Date at Eight, Relax & Unplug, Must get New Shoes, Meditation Retreat & Day at the Museum)

This is my favorite of the 5 (Meditation Retreat). I LOVE the bottom right green. Oh it is GORGEOUS!

This is a close second (Must get New Shoes). First, I love the name. Second, I love the lipgloss color.

Swatches of the lipgloss from each set.

My awesome dinner this evening. I have been craving really good sushi lately & I can never pass up General Tso's Chicken! So much for my diet today!

I'll be playing with these palettes the next few days & since I finally got to the doctor's and started taking antibiotics, I won't be ashamed to show my sicky face!

Have a great night!

Christmas Gifts to Myself!

Happy Wednesday!

So, I took full advantage of my Christmas money and bought myself some new clothes! I purchased everything from Forever 21. I do have Forever 21 in the local mall but i HATE going in the becaise it always looks like a tornado just rolled through. I usually shop online or print the SKU & picture and take it to the store and have an associate help me find everything.

I'll show you some of the goodies I purchased:

I tried this dress on in the store and I wasn't sure about it so I put it back. I kept thinking about how much I liked it and since I had a coupon I ended up buying it. It was originally $29.80 & I paid $25.82. Overall, I really like it. I cannot wear it as a dress, I have long legs & it is entirely too short. It barely covers my butt!

I love little dresses like this with leggings in the winter. The ruffles make it so feminine! It's a steal for $14.50!

Fab Ruffle Layers Contrast Dress

Another steal for $13.50! I loves this with a black belt on the waist & leggings!

Splatter Bodycon Tunic

I got this cardigan in white, black & chocolate. You can never have enough cardigans. I love the puff sleeve, so cute! They were only $7.50 each!

I got a lot of hair accessories and jewelry as well. I'm really into big cocktail rings this year so I've been stocking up on them.

I also forgot to mention that Dustin bought me Donkey Kong for Wii for Christmas! Best gift ever!!!! I used to (and still do) play Donkey Kong on Super Nintendo and I got the chance to play it on Wii in Game Stop before Christmas!
Have a great day!

My 2011 Challenge

Hi Dolls,

Starting January 1st, I'm going to do a little challenge of my own. I'm going to wear a different pair of shoes every day until I run out & see how long I can go. I'll TRY to update a picture of my outfit each day so you can take a look. I'm really excited, I have so many nice pairs of shoes that I never wear. And I'm going to keep track on a calender to make sure I don't double any pairs of shoes.

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to do some makeup looks but I caught the cold that has been going around, so I've been doped up on Nyquil and exhausted. I have a bunch of new makeup coming & I ordered the brushes that Kandee had on her blog. (Crown Brushes) I needed a new set of brushes & you can't beat $29.99. I got the bronze snakeprint case. I cannot wait to recieve it. I also got a gift card from a client for Amazon (which I always use for new makeup!). So I ordered The Sephora Color Diary Set. I am can't wait to get it in the mail!

I'll update soon!

Are you ready for 2011?

Have a great day,

Weightloss & the Holidays!

Hi Everyone!

So, as fun & lovely as the Holidays were I am excited for 2011!

You've probably seen in previous posts that I am trying to lose weight before our wedding in October 2012. Well., I have managed to drop 11 pounds since September. But it takes lots od dedication & willpower. I allowed myself to have Christmas weekend as "free" days. I was stressing because I was afraid that I would get derailed & not be able to get on track. I'm actually excited to be eating healthy today. I had the worst time trying to sleep, it felt like I had a brick sitting in my stomach, I had terrible heart burn & when I woke up my stomach hurt so bad. Plus I was afraid to weigh myself, but I'm only up 1.3 lbs. Considering I pretty much ate an entire apple pie by myself, I'll take it!

I'm trying to be down 5 more pounds by the end of February & I have to increase my exercise because I'm barely working out now. And hopefully I'll drop another 15-20 lbs by June. I have my eye on this gorgeous (and expensive) bikini from Victoria's Secret & Dustin has agreed if I hit my goal weight he'll buy it for me as a "reward". So, after New Years, I'm back on the grind!

What are your 2011 goals!?

Have a lovely Monday! :-)

Shopping!

Hey Loves!

I finally got the chance to do some shopping for myself! Okay, I actually did A LOT of shopping for myself over the past 2 weeks. But I have to have new stuff around this time of year!

Did I mention I got 8 pairs of shoes for Christmas?

Um, I should go to shoe rehab!

I got lots of fun stuff today, mainly accessories which you can never have enough.

How adorable is this eather hair band? I seriously want to wear it every day!
