Eyes.Lips.Face

February 7, 2015

It’s been, oh, I don’t know, 4 years maybe since I ordered from ELF cosmetics’ website. Since their addition to Target stores, I’ve found myself just stopping by the aisle really quickly to pick up a replacement liquid eyeliner or eyelid primer, but not really pausing to investigate new products and shades. Then silly me remembered I had purchased a Groupon for ELF (that had long expired) and had yet to redeem it! It really did take me some effort to find enough goodies to make it to the free shipping minimum (that’s a lot of $3 lip products, mmkk?) but I’m pretty happy with my selections! I will try to get swatches up soon of the lip items and am also so happy to have a replacement for my old “dump” bag! I just love that they call it that, because you can just dump all of your makeup or whatever in it, but the one I had was from years ago and was covered in spilled loose eyeshadow and foundation, eek! This is much better 🙂

For the bargain price of $24 I received –
The infamous dump bag
a travel mirror
2 eyelid primers
a glitter primer (if I ever wear glitter on my lids again!)
2 lipsticks
lip exfoliator
gold smudge pot
3 tinted lip balms
blush palette

Not too shabby! I’m most excited for the wine-hued lipstick and that lip exfoliator.. My lips have been so dry recently!
What are your thoughts on bargain makeup brands like E.L.F.?
🙂

Kyle Chan Buys

February 7, 2015


This gradient sapphire necklace had been on my wishlist for months, and now that it’s mine, I’ve already worn in twice! Once was on a trip to La Jolla this last weekend, and I got lots of compliments on it! The varied shades of blue are just so pretty.


This pretty little stone (rainbow moonstone) caught my eye immediately. It’s delicate enough to mix with other pieces, but looks stunning when it catches the light.

When I came up to the Kyle Chan booth, I saw one of the salespeople wearing this necklace, and I knew that I would wear the hell out of it if I had the chance! The little black beads are so delicate and they give off just the right amount of shine.

These shots were taken with the work of Ruben Ireland as a backdrop.

La Jolla, CA

February 7, 2015

Despite my hectic work schedule, I was able to get away last weekend with my honey to the amazingly beautiful coastal town of La Jolla, CA! We truly needed a little mini-vacay, and are so lucky to have so many options just a couple of hours drive away. We did have to cut things short to get back home to watch the Superbowl, but still had plenty of time to explore…

Late Friday night after checking in to the Inn, we were starved after a long work day and the drive. We came across the most quaint Italian restaurant and I ordered a seafood ravioli to rival any I’ve ever had before. Every bite was more extraordinary than the last. A bottle of chianti shared between us didn’t hurt either 😉

The next morning, we headed out for a little 3 mile jog along the coastline.

I brought along my newest New Balance running shoes to break in and came across this shell-flecked part of the path that I quickly fell in love with. The iridescent shades shimmered under the sun, and made me stop for a little while to appreciate such simple beauty.

Elizabeth and James Metallic Bag OOTD

February 5, 2015

I fiiiiiiinally came off the waitlist recently for Rent the Runway’s Unlimited program, and I couldn’t wait to style the items I received in my first shipment! I love the finish of this backpack/handbag from Elizabeth & James. It can easily pair with silver or gold and it’s a definite attention-grabber. I’m a fan of the House of Harlow bracelet too, and although I initially thought it had rhinestones on the V’s, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I like the all-gold appearance.
