Online Deals

Every avid online shopper knows the best time to shop is when all the coupons start rolling in. That time is your birthday month! Since mine just passed and I had a bit of a coupon free for all, I decided to share!

First off Sigma gave me 15% off so I picked up 3 brushes I had been looking at. The E35 blending brush, F35 tapered highlighter, and the F88 flat angled kabuki. Theres always room for another blending brush right? I have 2 MAC 217s and a 222 and they always seem to be dirty! The F35 looks like it will be really great for contouring and so far I've really liked using it. Finally I just really liked the look of the F88. I have been experimenting with different ways to apply my foundation recently and which method works best with which product. I've been using the F88 with my Diorskin Nude BB Cream and so far i really like the finish it gives. I also love the shaped it gets into all the nooks and crannies of my face... nooks and crannies sounds like a strange way to describe a face but you get what I mean right?

Next purchase came from American Apparel who gave me 25% off my order. I was quite restrained with American Apparel, I only bought 2 hair bows. I love these bows, I have a black on I bought at the beginning of last summer and its the perfect accessory for ballerina buns, a look I rock embarrassingly often, I've been eyeing the navy one for some time and with 25% off why not get two? Maroon is my absolute favorite color right now and it's gorgeous in bow form.

This final deal wasn't a birthday code at all but I justified it that way! In Tayna Burr's recent Get Ready with Me video, she used the NuMe Titan curling wand and left a code in the description box. $150 off the Titan curling wand and only $12 shipping. Who can say no to that? I've already tried the medium size barrel and I am in total love! It heats up super fast and makes the prettiest curls! The code is TANYALOVE if you want to purchase one for yourself!

So not a massive haul, but that what I what I bought myself for my birthday. Sometimes you have to treat yourself right? :)

What Do You Wear to a Matinée?

I turned 23 last week!!! April 25 of last week to be exact! For my birthday my parents took me to see The Book of Mormon in Boston. It's getting harder for me to dress for the theater these days, people have started dressing down and starting to look more like they are at a movie theater. Matinées are especially difficult because if you are going out shopping afterwards (there may have been shopping afterwards), you don't want to be TOO dressy but still need to be respectful of the production and actors. I went a bit more casual than I usually would, but it's not jeans!

I got most of this outfit at the J Crew Factory store at the outlets I work at, everything was half off! Being the New England girl that I am i could't resist these nautical anchor pants and this color block tee was just to good of a deal to leave. My coat is from DKNY that I actually picked up in Marshalls, my flats are Lucky Brand, and belt is from Target.

After the play, we were walking to the parking garage and a man behind me asked if I was a Delta Gamma, as I stared at him confused, he asked if i even knew what it was. Being semi familiar with the Greek scene I did, he proceeded to tell me the anchor is their emblem. I told him I wasn't a sorority girl, just a New England girl... who happens to really like anchor pants. Just a fun lil interaction for ya!

Now because a trip to Boston usually has a trip to Newbury St. and because it was my birthday there was a cheeky stop into Georgetown Cupcakes. AKA the most delicious pieces of heaven cakes!

mmmmhmmmmmmmm just looking at this picture makes me want more!! The play wasn't as great as we were expecting but I love being in Boston and had a great day! Here's to 23 being an amazing year!
