Victoria's Secret: Secret Reward Card Review! Part 2

Today is the day when you can start redeeming your Secret Reward card! You can check online. I just added something random to my shopping bag and entered the Secret Reward card into the gift card section. Unfortunately, both of my cards are only worth $10 =(. But luckily for me, I was making the orders anyway (that I got the Secret Reward cards with). And I suppose I can use it to get free panties. Or maybe on something in their sale section. I saw some tops were only $12.99, so I'd end up only paying $2.99 before tax, that's not bad. I really wish I would have gotten a higher amount. But I'm sure everyone says that lol. Oh well! Can't win em all.

Wet Seal: Graphic Tee Review!

So I couldn't help myself and I ended up making 2 more WS orders lol. They have the cutest graphic tee's and they were all on sale. My first order I did the 5/$20 and got some more tops (3 v necks, 1 scoop neck, and 1 tank top) then I got 3 other tank tops that were on sale. One is red and says "Some Like it Hot" and it has the chicken on it and then Chinese writing on the bottom. It's for that hot sauce. Another is a charcoal tank top that says "Define 'girlfriend'" ha ha, I thought it was cute. And the last one is one that says Barbie on the top and has a picture of 3 barbies and underneath it says "We're the Plastics" (for Mean Girls). They're all so adorable. When I made that order I didn't notice the other tank tops that I ended up making a second order for. One is white and says "This Beauty is a Beast", 2 are black and say "Muscles & Mascara" and "I Don't Sweat I Sparkle". I also got a pull over sweatshirt, that was also on sale. Its white and says "Its You, Not Me". lol. I adore WS. They have the cutest things and for such good prices. In my first order the Barbie tank was on sale for $11.83, and the other 2 were on sale for $10. The second order all my tanks were $11.79 and the sweatshirt was $13.93. I'll do separate reviews once my orders come! I highly recommend WS. Not only to those on a budget, but to anyone who loves cute clothes! You can't go wrong with WS!

Microsoft Security Essentials Review!

My laptop had to be wiped clean. Luckily a good friend of mine knows how to do all this computer stuff lol. So he wiped it clean for me and started me over with some good stuff. He got the security essentials for me, it's free. It's really nice though. You should run what they call a "quick scan" at least once a week. It just runs through some of your files to check for virus' and make sure you're protected. And once in a while you should run a "full scan". It checks every single file. The only thing with that is, it takes about 3-4 hours to do that one. The quick scans take like 3-5 minutes. It's important though to make sure your computer is safe. I really like it. I've had all kinds of different ones, but I like this one the most. It's easy to use and it keeps you safe. I recommend it!

Wet Seal: Fleece Leggings Review!

So I just recently got into leggings. I love them! Since I'm a newbie, I had NO idea they make fleece leggings! All winter I froze my tush off on dates with my boyfriend in regular leggings. What a fool lol. I saw on Wet Seal's website they had the fleece kind. So I ordered them of course. Oh man do I LOVE them! I tried them on immediately (mostly because they're one size fits all). I was worried since most OSFA isn't true. These fit perfectly though. And they're super warm! I got 3 pairs. 2 pairs are called cable brushed fleece back leggings. I got charcoal and burgundy. They have a cute design on them. They're really warm and cute, and also super stretchy and comfortable. The other pair I got is called fleece lined leggings. They only come in black. They feel smooth on the outside, but then have fleece on the inside! So they're also super warm. I absolutely love them! I'm gonna wear them out soon, I'll do another review on them after that. I highly recommend them if you love leggings as much as I do!

Wet n Wild Fergie Eyeshadow Primer Review! Part 2

Now that I've had this primer for a while (roughly a year) and have used it on a regular basis, I can confirm my other review. This primer is amazing! It makes my eyeshadow look fresh, like I just put it on, ALL DAY LONG! I once wore my eyeshadow for about 14 hours and it still looked like I had just put it on when I went to wash it off. It holds not only my eyeshadow in place, but obviously my eyeliner too. It's very impressive. Especially for the price. I get it at Walgreens for $4.99. I currently own 4 of them! I stocked up just in case they discontinue it (I heard Wet n Wild often discontinues products). I'm still using the first tube I bought. I think it's only about half way down. So by the time I finish the last one, it'll be years from now lol. They also have a shimmer eyeshadow primer. Not sure why you would want shimmer in it? I have just the regular one. It also never lets my eyeshadow crease, however, if you put too much primer on, it itself creases a little. So you have to smooth it back out. But if you use just enough to cover where you want your eyeshadow to go, you shouldn't have that problem. I highly recommend this primer! Especially if you're paying like $20 for a designer one. Because I've read blogs of people who have tried both and they said they couldn't tell a difference. This $5 one is as good as the ones that are $20+.

Victoria's Secret Pink: Boyfriend Hoodie Review! Part 2

I'm so in love with my VS hoodie that I wanna do another review! Since my first review, I've worn it a couple times. It's so amazing. It's over-sized and is long, it goes passed my butt. It's fleece so it's super warm. Added with the fact that it goes passed my butt, makes it even warmer! It's also super comfy! I picked the aqua colored one, but they have grey, purple, and pink too (maybe more, but that's what I saw in the store I go to). I think this is my favorite hoodie out of all the hoodies I've had in my life lol. Currently it's my only hoodie, but I've gone through quite a few in my life lol. That's how warm and comfy and amazing it is! I would highly recommend it. It costs roughly the same as most hoodies (except ones I've found at Target and Walmart, those are usually around $20). This hoodie was $49.95. I used my $10 off a $50 purchase with it. After tax that made it about $43. And worth every penny! lol. I would definitely buy another of these in the future!

Sally Hansen Triple Shine: Dive In Review!

I'm so loving this shade! I LOVE blue nail polish. This shade is between a blue and green. It's a light/medium shade and gorgeous! After one coat it looked fabulous, but I always do at least two coats to make it more vibrant. With this nail polish, I've read all you need is the nail polish! No need for base/top coats. As I've mentioned before, my nails are "oily" (they don't feel oily, but they don't hold nail polish. It peels right off). So I have to use a base coat, two coats of polish, and my anti-chip top coat. I tell you, I used to use top coats as a base coat and boy was that stupid! Base coats are my new best friend lol. I used Make Waves before this shade and it stayed on for over two weeks, no chipping, no peeling. I only switched polish because I wanted to try a new color. I am curious how long it would have lasted if I would have left it! This is such a stunning color. I'm not sure why I'm more partial to blue, pink, and purple shades lol. I just find them so gorgeous! I used to only wear pink nail polish, now I have TONS of colors! If you like blue/green nail polishes, this one should join your collection!


*I only paint my toe nails (so not worth it painting my fingernails since they're oily too, but I use my hands more lol)

Victoria's Secret: Secret Rewards Review!

How do you guys feel about these? Honestly I only remember participating one other time in my life lol. I only got one card and it was only worth $10. VS isn't my store of choice since I'm on a budget and they're pretty expensive. I guess if you're making an order online or making a purchase in the store anyway, then it's worth it since you're spending the money anyway. I got 2 this year that came with the clearance orders I made online. Can't wait to see how much they're worth! I hope I have at least a $50 one this year! That'd be so cool. Then I could get a hoodie or boyfriend crew for free =D. I saw some people posting on VS' Facebook page saying that on the back of their card it says $10 off a $30 purchase. I've never heard of them doing that before, apparently it's a new thing they're trying in various states this time. Which is really stupid in my opinion. Why would you change the rules now? And only for certain states, so it's unfair to the people who have to spend $30 to even use the stupid card. Because even if the card is only worth $10, that's still a free pair of panties (since most don't have the restriction). I'll post a new review after March 31st when I find out what these babies are worth! =) Good luck to the rest of you!

Victoria's Secret Pink: Tumbler Review!

After receiving someone else's order in the mail when I was supposed to get a hoodie on clearance. I eventually got a refund, but the same day I did some research. I checked all kinds of websites to compare prices to VS hoodies. The prices were really all about the same, so I took my $10 off a $50 purchase coupon down to the store and picked out a hoodie I wanted. While I was checking out, the cashier said that because I made a PINK purchase, I got a free tumbler and sunglasses! Yay! I haven't gotten a chance to try the sunglasses out, since I wear actual glasses lol. The tumbler is awesome though! It's just clear and says PINK in black writing. It holds 24 oz. I usually just use tumblers for either my pop or water. Today I'm using it to bring water to work with me. I would recommend PINK tumblers just because they're so adorable, but they're like $14.50 if you buy one. You can get a cute tumbler at Walmart for $5. So it's up to you! I also recommend the VS water bottle. Which holds 32 oz. So just depends how much water (or whatever drink) you want with you.

Wet Seal: 5 for $20 Deal Review!

This was such an amazing deal I couldn't pass it up! I'm not sure if it's a deal they always have (I'm new to WS), but there is a section for it on their website. I was checking it out just to see what they had. The deal includes tees, tanks, and leggings. 5 pieces of clothing for $20! What a good deal! I ended up getting a blue scoop neck, a neon pink v neck, a pink and white striped v neck, light blue mid-calf length leggings, and charcoal heather ankle length leggings. I tried everything on as soon as it came and kept the tags on, to be sure. It all fits great! I was so excited! All of it is 95% cotton and 5% spandex. The leggings are pretty sheer, but I only wear leggings with tops that go passed my butt. All 3 shirts I got go passed my butt, yay! I also had a 30% off coupon! So I ended up paying $14.98 for 5 pieces of clothing! That's like not even ONE top from Victoria's Secret lol. I'm in love with WS! =)

Wet Seal: Leggings Review!

As part of my very first order with Wet Seal ever, I included a pair of leopard print leggings. They're ADORABLE! They also look exactly like the ones I wanted from Victoria's Secret! However, at VS they were $24.50 and at WS they were $7.50! They fit really well and true to size. They're comfortable and stretchy. They feel like good quality. 95% cotton, 5% spandex. I made a 3rd order and included in that are 2 pairs of leggings. I'm excited to see how those look/feel. And I actually made a 4th order because they have fleece leggings that I didn't see before! FLEECE! I've been freezing my buns off all winter on dates with my boyfriend in regular leggings lol. I'm so excited for them! Since I can wear them for spring, fall, and winter! They're one size fits all though, so I'm VERY curious about the fit. I just ordered those yesterday, will do a review when they come! If you haven't checked out Wet Seal yet, what are you waiting for?! =)


Check them out!

Victoria's Secret Pink: Fashion Leggings Review! Part 2

The first pair of leggings I bought from VS are black with a lace waist. They're very comfortable and fit great. The second pair I bought are shiny and also black. When I tried them on for the very first time I thought they felt a little tight. However, I wore them out the other night and they fit very well. Comfortable and stretchy. I'm not sure why I thought they were too tight at first lol. I got both pairs with a 2/$40 deal. The deal included the slouchy raglan, sporty tee, varsity tee, and fashion leggings. By themselves, they're $24.50. I wouldn't necessarily recommend these leggings just because of the price. You can get leggings for much better prices at different stores. Wet Seal ($6.50-$10), Target ($8-$12), Forever 21 ($3.80-$12). I will say the quality of the VS leggings are fantastic though, and they fit true to size. My Forever 21 leggings feel tighter than my other leggings, yet they're the same size as the other ones. So Forever 21 may run a little small. If you're buying them in a store, I do suggest trying them on before buying them. I bought my Forever 21 leggings online with a gift card I had. If you can afford VS leggings, or feel like splurging, then I would definitely go with theirs!

Resurrection Review!

This is a new show on ABC. So far, I'm incredibly confused, but also intrigued lol. The premise is: In a small town, Arcadia, MO. People who passed away are coming back to life. We haven't figured out why yet and we've only met 2. 1 is a little boy named Jacob who died 32 years earlier. His aunt fell into the river he was playing at and he tried to save her by balancing on a log and trying to grab her. He did grab her, but of course she outweighed a little 8 year old boy, so she just pulled him in with her. He went under and hit his head on a rock, knocking him unconscious. Ultimately he drowned. His aunt also died. They started off the first episode with Jacob waking up in China. They get him to his home and no one in town can believe what's going on. Next thing you know, another person who was once dead shows up. A girls father. I'm curious where this show is going. And what will happen next. Although I'm REALLY confused and having a hard time with the story line (because people coming back to life is hard to believe, even if it is just a show lol), I think I'll stick it out and see what happens. Mostly because I'd like to know WHY these people are coming back to life. If this sounds like something that interests you, you can catch it on ABC at 9/8c on Sundays.

Wet Seal: Glitter Trainers Review!

I'm so excited! This was my first time shopping with Wet Seal and I LOVE them! They're one of my new favorite stores for sure! The first order I made was for a pair of leopard print leggings (that look EXACTLY like the pair I wanted from Victoria's Secret! Only for $7.50, instead of $24.50!) and black glitter trainers with teal accents. I was a little nervous about the shoes. Depending on the brand, my shoe size varies. I'm between a 5.5-6.5. The smallest size they had in the glitter trainers was a 6. I got them on sale! Originally $36.90, on sale for $24.99, and then you saved an additional 30%! So the total was $17.49. This particular day, they had free standard shipping on a $25 or more order. So that's why I added the leggings. I ended up making a second order the following day when they had free standard shipping on ANY order! So I ordered the twin of my other shoes. They're blue with pink accents. SO cute! I used a 30% off coupon also, so the total for that pair was $13.11! Crazy good deal! Both orders came today and the sneakers fit PERFECTLY (YAY!!!!). The leggings fit perfectly as well! They have new shoe smell though, so they need to be washed lol. I made another order yesterday (I'm banning myself from the website lol). But it was such a good deal! They had free standard shipping on ANY order again, and they have this 5 for $20 deal. It includes tees, tanks, and leggings. So I got 3 tops and 2 leggings for $20! AND I found a 30% off coupon, so the total came to $14.98! Less than $15 for 3 tops and 2 bottoms?! YES PLEASE! lol. If you haven't checked out WS yet, you HAVE to! They're amazing. Very affordable and very fashionable!

Target Spring Preview from Influenster Review!

My Target Spring Preview voxbox came today! Yay! I got it from Influenster for testing purposes. I was really hoping I would get the Crest toothpaste or mouthwash. Or even a hair product. Something I need and use often. I ended up getting a Sonia Kashuk tinted moisturizer. I have a bunch of make up. I have like 4 foundations of Maybelline's that I bought to try. I don't use any of them anymore and am gonna be throwing them away soon. They leave my face looking flaky. I also refuse to use ones with SPF in them. If they aren't an organic product, the SPF is NOT natural. Meaning it has chemicals in it that are bad for you. They actually have proven that some of the chemicals in SPF can cause cancer. I use my Yes To Grapefruit CC Cream. It's organic and it also has SPF, but it's natural of course, so it's safe to use. This tinted moisturizer has SPF in it, and since it isn't an organic product, it's made with chemicals. So I'm opting out of using this product. I'll probably just throw it away. I did put a little bit on my wrist so I can try it to review it and do my tasks for Influenster and such. It's darker than my skin tone. They sent me beige. I'm not sure if this was the only shade they had, or they assumed that I was beige off of past surveys I've done? Although, I have never been considered a beige color. I always fall into the ivories. I really wish I would have gotten a different product. I'm disappointed with the one I got. Though I suppose free is free and I do appreciate Influenster picking me to be a part of this box. I'm always ready to try new things.

Victoria's Secret Pink: Thermal Raglan Review! Part 3

I really love this top. The material is thermal, so it gives a nice warm feeling without it being hot. It's also low cut, so it's a sexy date top. I bought 2 of them when VS had them on clearance online. Originally $24.50, on sale for $6.99! I got hot pink and a light greenish blue. They're SO pretty! I recently wore the light greenish blue 1. It looks a lot better with my skin tone than I thought it would. It fits really nicely without being too tight. I usually feel tightness in the arms with VS long sleeve tops, but not with this guy! (or the slouchy raglan). You have the option to wear this 1 like the slouchy raglan, where you have 1 shoulder out. I opted to wear it the "normal" way. Which just makes it a little more low cut, but that's okay. Not like you're fallin out lol. It's very comfortable and soft too. I'm so glad I was able to snag a couple of these before they were gone! They went REALLY fast!

Doubletree By Hilton Review!

I can't even tell you the last time I was in a hotel. I think I was in the 8th grade lol. I just went for fun last night. It's a really nice hotel. Our room was on the 18th (highest) floor. The room was so nice. Especially the bathroom lol. Nice big vanity. The soap they had smelled really good too. The bed was really comfortable, and they even had a little chair with an ottoman that was really comfortable as well. They had a desk too and a little coffee maker with coffee cups. They also gave us cookies lol. They were really good ;). They had a nice sized flat screen to watch. It was a lot of fun. If you're looking for a nice hotel for a decent price, you should check it out!

Wet Seal.com Review!

While I was playing some of my Facebook games, I saw a Wet Seal ad. For some reason I've never shopped there before because I always assumed they were an expensive store. I don't know anyone who shops there either, so no one could tell me other wise lol. I saw these ADORABLE sneakers in the ad. The price said $36.90. I really wasn't looking to spend that much, but I clicked on the ad anyway, just to see a bigger picture. After clicking it, it said they were on sale for $24.99 AND to take an additional 30% off! Making them $17.49! What a deal! They're trainer sneakers, so I'm hoping for some major comfort. They're black with teal accents and glitter on the sides. I had to have them lol. So I ordered them. This particular day, you got free standard shipping with a $25 purchase. So I added some leopard print leggings that look EXACTLY like the ones I wanted from Victoria's Secret. At VS they were $24.50, WS had them for $7.50! I hope they fit well and everything. The next day I was checking out some of their clearance items and saw that they were offering free standard shipping on ANY order. I decided to get my sneakers twin lol. They're blue with pink accents and glitter. SO cute! So they were $17.49, BUT I also had a 30% off coupon that I used. So I paid $13.11! Such good deals I can't even begin to say. I will continue to purchase from WS in the future. Really hoping my sneakers and leggings fit well. I can't wait till they come! Oh, they ship fast too! The day after I made both orders, they shipped (so I made the first order Wed, they shipped Thurs. Made the second order Thurs, they shipped today). I will do separate reviews of my items when they come =). Right now on their site (today only, online exclusive) they have clearance items on sale! So whatever they're marked as, you take an ADDITIONAL 70% off! There are jackets for like $5! Not to mention, the sneakers in question are now $7.50! Happy shopping guys! Visit here now!

Yes To Blueberries: Intensive Skin Repair Serum Review!

I've always wanted to try this stuff, but it's $19.99 and you get 1 oz. I figured it would be a great product, I just couldn't spend that kind of money. However! During their Cyber Monday deal I bought 2 of them for $2 each! I love it too. It smells really nice. It's a thin consistency, but it isn't meant to be a moisturizer (it says to pair it with a day/night cream). It says that it acts as a powerful "vitamin layer" under moisturizer. It has cotton thistle (proven to restore and repair age-damaged skin in 7 days) along with anti-oxidant rich blueberries and black currant, both of which are essential fatty acids to help nourish and soothe skin. It's 99% natural, petroleum, SLS, and paraben free, and of course also cruelty free! It makes my face and neck feel really good. I use it at night. I put it on before my YTB night cream. My face absorbs it right up too, so there's no residue. My face doesn't feel sticky or oily either. I really love this stuff! A little goes a long way. Hoping the 2 I got last a while, but I would definitely buy it again in the future! Maybe they'll have another sale ;).

*You can find it online here. Or at Target or Walgreens.

Target Cropped Yoga Leggings Review!

I saw some ADORABLE yoga leggings at Victoria's Secret, but the price was way more than I was willing to spend. They ranged from $35-$60. While I was wandering around at Target, I saw they also have yoga leggings. Well, not only yoga leggings! Yoga leggings, boot cut yoga pants, and cropped yoga leggings! I really wanted just the regular yoga leggings that go down to your ankles, but they didn't have any with a cute print on the waist in my size. So I got the cropped ones instead. $15! That's what I'm talkin about! I'll go back sometime in the near future and see if they got anymore yoga leggings in my size in some cuter prints. The cropped ones fit well, but they're longer than they should be lol (since I'm only 5'1"). So, I guess when I wear them I can fold them to make them not look weird lol. I think I'll get a pair of the boot cut yoga pants too. All are $15. They also sell regular leggings for $8-$12. So those are a great deal too! Although, if you're looking for really cheap leggings, go with Forever 21. I got leggings from them for $3.80! But if you're on budget and really want yoga pants, leggings, or cropped leggings, go with Target! They feel like great quality too!

Yes To Grapefruit Body Creme Review! Part 2

Let me start by saying I absolutely love this body creme! It's amazing! It's nice and thick, but my skin absorbs it immediately. It smells SO good, but it isn't a strong scent. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. I also have eczema on my shins and fragrance really bothers me. However, this creme works great with it! It doesn't make me flare up. Probably because it's an organic product. While I was shopping at Target Saturday I went into the natural aisle. I usually always do, just to look for sales, bundles, etc. I had to do a double take when I looked at the YTG body creme. Normally $10, on sale for $3!!!!!!!!! There were 3 on the shelf and I grabbed them all! $9 for 3, still less than 1 originally is! Such an amazing deal! I also bought 2 during the Cyber Monday deal. So I got those for $2. I'm really excited! I hope they aren't discontinuing this though. I looked on their website and it's listed as it's original price. So I'm hoping I just got a terrific deal at Target! Check out your local Target before they're all gone!

Victoria's Secret Pink: Water Bottle Review!

When I was shopping in the store, I was checking out their water bottles just for fun. I thought they were kinda cute, but nothing too special. Then I saw this zebra print one that says "PINK" on the front. It was the only one and it was just adorable! So I got it =). I used it last night for the first time. I LOVE IT! It holds 32 oz. It also does a good job insulating. I filled it up with ice cubes and water and the ice cubes lasted for hours. It stayed cold till the last drop too! It also has the kind of top that you pull up to drink from. Which I like a lot too. It's easy to drink from. I love it. Keeps me hydrated and stylin ; )

Victoria's Secret Pink: Bling Signature Pant Review!

Just over a year ago I bought sweat pants from Target. I use them as my pajama pants, so they get a lot of wear and get washed often. They're actually still in great shape, but I wanted something new. So while browsing in the clearance section of victoriassecret.com, I found these ADORABLE aqua colored sweat pants. They have blue sequins down the right leg that say "LOVE PINK" and on the left hip they have the little VS dog in silver. Originally $79.50, clearance for $39.99! That's still more than I would want to spend on sweat pants (pajama pants for me lol), but I really wanted them. They were just so pretty! They are a little shorter than I would like them to be, but that's the only complaint I have! And it's not a very big one lol. Apparently these came in 2 colors. I was never able to see the other one until I put these in my shopping cart, then I clicked the picture. It was a black pair with gold "LOVE PINK" sequins down the right leg. I was thinking the other color might be pink, since it went so fast I didn't even get to see them! I was a little surprised to see they were black. I really didn't think they were all that cute. I would have picked the aqua pair either way. Size large of these sold out really fast, but sizes small and medium are barely budging. I find them adorable, very soft, warm but not hot, and super comfortable! I'm really glad I splurged to get these!

Sally Hansen Triple Shine: Make Waves Review!

I LOVE blue nail polish. I'm not really sure why lol. I just think blue's are such gorgeous colors. My favorite colors are pink and blue. This shade is especially gorgeous! It's a chrome blue. I absolutely love it! I've read other reviews about it where they've said they needed 4 coats to get the true color, the way it looks in the bottle. I mean, I don't wanna be rude to those people, but Idk how they use nail polish then lol. I used 2 coats and it looks exactly like it does in the bottle. Other reviews made this sound like a polish that's too light. It's not though, don't be fooled. Maybe they just had a bad experience with it, or are used to darker colors maybe. This blue is NOT a dark shade of blue. It's meant to be a medium shade of blue, and it is. You can't see my nail under it either. Even after reading reviews that weren't very favorable to this nail polish, I still bought it. I had been really wanting to get my hands on it for quite some time. I wanted to try it for myself. If this is a shade you wanted to try, but read bad reviews, I would still suggest you try it yourself. You could have a very different experience from someone else. I recommend this shade for sure! Gorgeous!

Avon Base Coat Review!

Typically I just use a top coat as my base coat. In a previous Avon campaign they had their $6.99 base coat on sale for like 3 bucks. So I thought I'd try it out since I've never used a base coat before. It's wonderful! Since nail polish peels right off my nails, I usually can only have nail polish on my toes for maybe a week before they start to chip. With my base coat on, I can easily go 2 weeks without any chipping at all! It's so awesome! It doesn't peel off as easily either, even when I'm trying to peel it off to start over lol. I would buy this base coat again for sure! If on sale, $6.99 seems like a little much for a base coat. I might just have to shop around to find a better deal. Base coats are in my future though ;).

Victoria's Secret Fantasies: Simply Breathless Review!

I love food/sweet smells. I got this one in a lot of different varieties. I think my favorite is the perfume though. It lasts a long time and it smells so amazing. My boyfriend always says "You smell really good!" whenever I'm wearing it lol. It isn't a strong scent, but it's noticeable. It has freesia and mandarin. This is my favorite scent of theirs! I was just looking online though and I don't see that one! Sadness! It came out around the same time as Midnight Dare and Such A Flirt. Such A Flirt is still around, so I guess maybe it's popular enough. But the other two didn't make it. I like a lot of their scents, so it won't be hard to find a replacement. I'm really glad I have all the varieties I do though! I'll have to use them sparingly lol. Such A Flirt, Pure Daydream, Vanilla Lace, Aqua Kiss, and Pure Seduction are favorites of mine too. Luckily I have a pretty big supply of lotions, sprays, body butters, etc right now. So I won't need anymore for a while. I'm also considering switching to my favorite organic line, Yes To, permanently. So I may not be buying anymore anyway! They do usually have decent deals though. You can check em out in stores or online!

Avon Glimmersticks: Magenta Onyx Review!

Occasionally Avon has special deals on their eye liners. I usually always participate. Last time they had a deal was back in November. It was 4/$10. I got 4 then. Last month they had 2 separate deals in 2 different campaigns. The first was 4/$10.99, so not that much more than the deal in Nov. I got 8! They had a limited edition Onyx line. Cobalt, copper, gold, magenta (I got 1 of each and 4 Black Ice from the Diamonds line). I tried the magenta one for Valentine's Day since I was wearing pink and wondered how it would look with my outfit. The sparkles are very subtle (which I love) and it looked very nice on. The following campaign they did yet another eye liner deal! The same one though, 4/$10.99. So I got 8 more of the Onyx ones before they're not available anymore. I got 2 of each. I love Avon's eye liners. They're my favorite. It's kind of like a pencil, but you twist it up instead of sharpening it, which is great! I hate pencils now. They always break on me when I'm trying to sharpen them and then when I get them NOT to break while sharpening, they break when I'm trying to put it on. Very frustrating. It's really nice not having to worry about that! None of it gets wasted. You just twist it up until it won't anymore, then throw it away. Ta da! lol.

Burlington Coat Factory Review!

I LOVE this store! I really don't go often anymore, but me and my mom love it! We usually go together. They have 2 floors FULL of great stuff for great prices. I've gotten so many things from there! I got my amazing winter coat from them for $60! It's a fantastic coat too. Unbelievably warm and really cute! I also got a jacket that looks exactly like North Face, but it was $20! It's a raspberry pink color. I love it! I got my pajama top from there too! It's blue and it has a panda on it that is behind a stick of bamboo and it says "You Can't See Me". lol. It was the only one like that and I thought it was cute, so I got it. It was like $7. They have everything. From coats to underwear to clothes to purses to jewelry to household items to bedding! I mean you name it, they probably have it. And it isn't the type of store that has discounted items just because they're "irregular" or somehow "off". Everything is in perfect condition (unless someone got a hold of it and messed it up somehow) and for great prices. It's a great place to get Christmas gifts or birthday gifts, any gifting at all lol. Even a housewarming gift, since they have household needs. If you've never been because you think it's "irregular" stuff, then you're wrong! And you should definitely check it out!

Victoria's Secret Pink: Bling Bootie Review!

I know after the whole hoodie situation (when VS sent me someone else's order instead of the hoodie I ordered!) I said I wouldn't order online from them anymore. But their clearance section online is hard to resist lol. These booties had been in the clearance section since the first time I was checking everything out. A lot of things have sold out, and a lot of things went really quickly. The boots didn't (and still haven't) really budged. I guess a lot of people don't wear boots? I mean granted the price isn't rock bottom. Still a good deal though. They were originally $69.50, on sale for $24.99. That's 75% off! I ordered them Tuesday and was really nervous if I would get the boots or not! Since the hoodie never showed up and like I said I got someone else's long sleeve shirt that they ordered. The boots came today! That's only 4 days after I ordered! Crazy fast! It was, indeed, the boots I ordered, in the style I ordered (black leopard print), and the size I ordered (small). I was very excited! They're ADORABLE! They're black leopard print and it's all sequined (hence the name Bling Bootie). They have faux fur on the inside. The soles are similar to flip flops, so they can be worn outside, but you have to be careful about stepping in puddles and such. The small fits me like a glove. They're soft and comfy on the inside. The say PINK on the back heel. They come in a really cute gift box too! I'm already in love with them! They come in 3 different styles. I liked the ones I picked the most, but I liked the ones called Snow White too. They're really cute. I would consider buying those as well if they stick around for a while. Since I won't be ordering anything else right now! Flippin addicted! lol. I ordered a new pair of sweat pants from them Thursday. So I'm taking a break now! lol.
