My weekly loves/ Black Friday Deals!

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great week! After all, it was Thanksgiving and Black Friday (today!)! I did not try many new products like last week, but here's a roundup of some of my favorite things I've been eyeing for a few weeks and my Black Friday reccomendations!
 
I was at Ulta today and I smelt this for about the 3rd time and I just love it! I own the original Wonderstruck Eau de Parfum and I wear it every day. This scent smells a little sweeter than the original, but it's still smells amazing (and you know I love Taylor Swift)!
(Wonderstruck Enchanted Eau de Parfum, $49.50, Ulta stores and www.ulta.com)
 
 
I got this nail polish at Ulta today and it is gorgeous! It is a dark, dark blue color with blue and green sequins! This is a great winter color and is a beautiful glitter color.

Okay, now for the Black Friday part of this post!
So today is Black Friday (as you probably already know) and I got up at 5:00 am this morning to go shopping. I went to Younkers, Target, Ulta and a few other stores and got some really great deals. Ulta was having a $5 for 5 items sale, which I always love. I also reccomend www.modcloth.com because they are having a great Black Friday Sale today only!
Hope you enjoyed this post! Bye!

♡ Happy Thanksgiving! ♡

Hi everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! May all of you have a great day filled with family, friends, and fun. (Not to mention yummy food!) I've chosen this photo to post because I've loved watching Peanuts for as long as I can remember. It's such a happy show that I watch during any holiday. (Last night the Thanksgiving episode was on ABC.)
 
I think the most important thing is to be thankful for what you have. I hope all of you have a great day! Bye!

My Weekly loves: Makeup, candles & more!

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a splendid week! I don't know about you, but this week went by pretty slow to me. But it's okay because now I get to write My Weekly Loves post! (And it's Friday!) I can't remember the last time I've tried so many new products in one week! Some makeup, so B&BW.. so let's get started!
This the Maybelline BabyLips Lip balm. It is a tinted moisturer that is just amazing! It rolls on really smooth and comes in gorgeous colors! The one I got is in Pink Punch and is a pretty light pink color. These also come in red, maroon and clear. These leave your lips so moisturized and the color lasts for hours! Overall a really great lip balm.
(Maybelline Pink Punch BabyLip lip balm, $2.99, Target stores & www.target.com)
 
I just noticed that both these products I'm reviewing are from Maybelline! Okay, so this is the Maybelline Falsies mascara in the color 280 Blackest Black. I've noticed that all of the Youtube Beauty Gurus I follow have talked about this in some of their videos, so I just had to try it! It makes your lashes look gorgeous and very long. It is such a pretty mascara and only requires 1 coat!
(Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara, $6.99, Ulta stores & www.ulta.com)
 
This is the last new product I have tried this week and it is probably my favorite! This is the Leaves candle from Bath & Body Works! I have heard so praise for this candle. Every I <3 Fall Tag I watched on Youtube had this listed as their favorite fall candle. I went to Bath & Body Works a few months ago to get this candle and they were completely sold out of every candle, soap, and hand sanitizer of this scent. But a few days ago, I saw on the Bath & Body Works website that they had this candle in, but only in the small size. I bought it just so I could have the Leaves candle and I love it! It is probably my favorite scent from Bath & Body Works ever. It smells so good I didn't want to burn it at first. Long story short, I am in love with this candle.
(Leaves 4 oz. candle, $9.50, www.bathandbodyworks.com)
 
I hope all of you enjoyed this Weekly Loves post and I hope all of you have a great weekend! Bye!

Must have shoes for Fall/Winter!

Hi everyone! Todays post is your must have shoe guide for fall & winter! Incase your not a shoe-a-holic like I am, this is just some simple basics that will give you some ideas of what shoes will be fitting for the colder months.
Cute ballet flats- Yes, I know you've seen these before, but I love them so much, they had to be included again. Any cute ballet flats would do, but I especially love these from Sole Society. They are adorable for fall! They come in many colors, but my absolute favorite is the mustard yellow color. These would look great with an over sized cardigan or a skirt and wool tights.
(Bow ballet flats, $49.95, www.solesociety.com)
 
Mocasins- Mocassins are the perfect shoe for late fall and throughout the winter. They are super comfy and will keep your feet warm. You can wear them barefeet or with your most adorable socks. I love these gray ones from Minnetonka and they are super cute!
(Women's gray moccasins, $36.95, Minnetonka)
 
Toms- Toms are great for every month of the year, but this pair with wool lining is perfect for winter! These have a cute multi-colored knit outside and a beige wool lining inside. They will keep your feet warm and will go with any color coat you wear! Also, Toms have a great philosphy: For every pair that is bought, they will send a pair of Toms to a child in need.


(Multi Knit Women's Classics, $54, www.toms.com)
 
Warm boots- Everyone needs a pair of warm, faux fur boots for winter. I love this pair from Ugg Australia because they are super cute and are very warm. They have an adorable button clasp and come in so many colors- Aruba blue, Navy, Sugar Plum and Sand (As seen above) These are a perfect go-to shoe for those days that feel just too cold to go to school or work.
(Women's Bailey Button Uggs, $165, www.uggaustralia.com)
 
I hope you all enjoyed this post and have a great rest of your weekend!

My weekly loves: Perfume, mascara and greeting cards!?

Hi everyone! It's the end of the week, so you know what time it is: My Weekly Loves! This week I admit I have not tried many new things (maybe one or two), and I also rounded up some of the things that I've loved for a long time now.
This is from the Signature Vanillas Bath & Body Works line and it is the Cherry flavor. This was the very first Bath & Body Works body spray I ever tried and I love it! I just started using it again and it  smells so good! I know it's not really a winter scent (at all), but I think I'll still use this a little while longer. I just put a little on every morning and it leaves a nice, fruity, summer-y scent on all day.
(Signature Vanillas Cherry 8 oz., $12.50, Bath & Body Works)
 
This is the Ulta Voluptous Volume Mascara and this is my favorite mascara I have ever tried! It lengthens your lashes so well and it looks very glamorous. It also does not clump and it stays on for hours looking just a good as when you applied it. I love this mascara so much, I'm on my second tube of it.
(Voluptous Volume Mascara, $10.00, Ulta stores & www.ulta.com)
 

Look at how cute these cards are! They have beautiful sayings and gorgeous covers. The best part? They're by Taylor Swift! That's right, she has a selction of cards at Target that are adorable! Each one is fully colored and some even have glitter covers! Target carries a very large selction and there are probably more then a dozen to choose from for birthdays, Mothers day, and special occasions. I love these greeting cards so much!
(Taylor Swift card, $2.99, Target)
 
I hope you all enjoyed this post because, as usual, it was very fun to put together! One more thing, in my last post I picked my favorite coats for winter and just today Blair Fowler had a very similar post on Elle & Blair.com. If you want to check her Fall Coat Guide out; here is the link: http://elleandblair.com/blog/post/tgif-my-fall-coat-guide Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Cute Coats for Winter!

Hi everyone! It is now November whick means (yikes!) it is getting close to winter. I don't know about you, but I hate having to put on my giant winter coat that makes me look like a marshmallow. So I have been looking online and have found the best winter coats that will keep you warm, but are totally cute.
 
This coat is from Urban Outfitters and it is amazing! From the front, it looks like your normal pretty peacoat, but from the back its.. KAPOW! And you see these gorgeous pleats. I love this coat because it will be super comfy and warm, but it shows people you aren't ready to turn in your trendy clothes just because its cold outside.
(Pins and Needles Pleated Back Coat, $129.00, www.urbanoutfitters.com)
 
 
This coat is stunning! It is a long Turquoise coat with a cheetah print collar. I love this because it is very unexpected and it shows your glam side. This would look great whenever you need to dress up during those harsh winter months.
(DV by Dolce Vita Faux Fur Collar Coat, $189.00, www.urbanoutfitters.com)
 
This coat is a long slender pea coat from Old Navy. It is a classic pea coat with a faux fur collar and is a very elegant option. Its shape looks very flattering for any body type and you could wear this coat with jeans or a fancy dress and heels- it's very versitile!
(Womens Wool-Blend Faux Fur Collar Coat, $60.00, www.oldnavy.com and in stores)
This is a beautiful coat from Modcloth. It is a long, slendering coat with a cinched waiste and a flaired skirt. It comes in this gorgeous plum color and bold black and silver clasps. This coat would be a major attention grabber and look effortless, yet sophisticated.
(Plenty by Tracy Reese Plum Becomes You Coat, $327.99, www.modcloth.com)
Winter Outerwear - British Breakfast Jacket in Olive
This is a military inspired jacket from Modcloth. I love jackets like this because they have both a tomboy and a girly flaire. This has large gold buttons, a flaired hem, and a structured collar. This coat would look great for any occasion and will definitely spice your outfit up.
(British Breakfast Jacket in Olive, $79.99, www.modcloth.com)
 
I hope you all enjoyed this post! Have a wonderful week! Bye!

My weekly loves: Lip balm, makeup wipes & more!

Hi everyone! So it's almost the end of the week, so I figured I'd write my "Weekly Loves" post today since I will be pretty busy tomorrow. This week I have been loving certain beauty products, so I'll tell you all about them!
I love eos lip balms. They work so well and they all smell amazing, not to mention 95% organic!They come in so many flavors: Mint, Lemon Drop, Strawberry Sorbet, Honeysuckle Honeydew & more! This week I have been using my (favorite) Summer fruit one alot. I love how it doesn't clump up or get on the outside of your lips. You just simply twist off the cap and roll on. So cool!
(EOS Organic Lip Balm Sphere- Summer fruit, $2.99,Target stores and www.target.com)
Before this summer, I would only use the Neutrogena makeup removing wipes. But then I tried the Yes to Cucumber facial wipes and I love them! Unlike the Neutrogena wipes, these don't leave a shiny residue on your face and they smell amazing! They are good for sensitive skin and these towlettes clean your skin and remove your makeup! I will never go back to the Neutrogena wipes after trying these.
(Yes to Cucumber face towlettes, $2.99, Target stores and www.target.com)
Yesturday, for Halloween, I was incharge of curling my friends' hair. I brought this curling iron and it worked amazing. This is my favorite curling iron I've ever had. It makes beautiful curls and they stay in for hours without any hair spray. It heats up super fast and comes with heat protectant gloves to keep you from burning yourself. I love it!
(Remington textured curling iron, $19.99, Target and www.target.com)
Yes, I know this is not a beauty product, but I had to include it in this weeks' post. Just this week I have started watching the first season of Pretty Little Liars. (Yes, I am a tad late.) And I love it! It is so intriguing and mysterious and you cannot stop watching it. It is a little spookier than what I normally watch, but I still think it is amazing and I can't wait to watch more episodes.
(Pretty Little Liars Complete first season, $31.03, www.amazon.com)
I hope you all had an amzing Halloween and I hope you enjoy the rest of your week. As promised here is the link to Missglamoazzi's GIY Peter Pan Collar tutorial video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeCrjALFOgI&list=UU5zSySQab9SA6Wz569WDgqw&index=1&feature=plcp
