SNOW day in TEXAS! ...and i'm back!

Hello lovlies! im back!! :) so sorry i've been gone for so so long! I can't believe its been that long since my last post! anyway, I'm back now and I have many upcoming posts so please stick around :)

first off, let me say that it SNOWED all day long yesterday! we got about a total of 8 inches of snow! isn't that AMAZING?! YES :) I loooved it so much. I felt like a little kid who had just seen snow for the first time haha. I kept running outside and playing in it. it was so lovely. it was GORGEOUS of course. and all schools closed of course, including both Universities for two whole days so I get a 4 day weekend :)I know its just snow, but here, when it does snow, its a very big deal. Its like an extra holiday to us :) It doesn't snow too often here in Texas. Actually, we're lucky if we even get one inch a year. It usually snows every few years. But for some reason this past year, it has snowed TWICE already!(: anywho, here are some pictures of the lovely day:




so cute!


in the morning, just a few hours of snow








the driveway


out in my backyard




my boot prints!


I then woke up the next morning when it stopped snowing and looked out my bedroom window and saw this:







mmm love ittt.

::too many pictures to explain all of them, but I think the pictures speak for themselves :)









I just had to have thses brown monet boots. I've been eyeing them for a week or two now. and finally got them.they're perfect-color and all.









this necklace is beyonddd gorgeous. so classy looking right?



ok this purse is completely brand new but was not recently purchased! my sister got this when we were in San Francisco at H&M! I actually bought an over the shoulder bag over the weekend but didnt love it as much as this cream one, so my sister and I traded since she loved mine. haha fair trade right? :)


















I have been searching for this type of skirt for awhile and I finally got one! and for a pretty great price too :)



I thought the shirt and skirt would go great together! :)



two pairs of leggings. the black ones have gold flecks on them and the grey ones have silver flecks on them♥



more plain black leggings. can never have too many leggings :)



I got this plaid shirt for SUCH a great deal! it was only $12.50. amazing yah? didnt even know how cheap it was until they rang it up at the end
:)


and I think it goes soo nicely with my brown leather jacket that I haven't gotten to wear yet. YAY.

shopping=complete satisfaction!

Review:Stila Finishing powder

yes, this has been long over-due as I promised I would do a review on it awhile back and got a request for it so here it goes: :)

I got the gold finishing powder which is said to be a light golden champagne sheen.
As said on the site, Stila's finishing powder "Keeps your skin looking radiant with these velvety, light-reflecting powders. and is a "Luminous shimmer powder for the face."


[flash]



[no flash]
true, it does illuminate your face and is a gorgeous light goddessy gold but honestly I wouldn't use it to set my make-up-at least not all over my face. Because it has tiny flecks of gold/shimmer in it,I wouldn't reccomend putting this all over your face because its too shimmery to put all over the face and won't look natural. Although its not super shimmery like MAC's mineralize skin finishes (I don't think anything will be that shimmery!) it still does have shimmer flecks in it. Don't get me wrong, because I do love this product and use it everyday-but not to set my make-up. I use it as a highlight right above my cheekbones and it works perfectly. It gives me a really nice glow and can be used at anytime of the day whether youre getting ready for work,school,or even a night out!

but if you're looking for a good setting powder, I definitely reccommend getting a MATTE one. I am using NARS loose setting powder and let me just say that I looove it! I use it every single day to set my foundation/tinted moisturizer. And in this care the saying really is true about "A little goes a long way" you just need the tiniest amount to set your make up. I love using the fan brush to do this. I tap some of the powder into the cap and I dab my fan brush into it and tap the excess off and just lightly go all over my face and it sets beautifully! Its a black squared box and has ALOTTT of product in it. I bought this more than 10 months ago and I still have so much and looks like I barely touched it but I use it everyday.






So if you are contemplating on getting the Stila finishing powder to set your foundation, then I don't reccommend getting it because I think you will be unnsatisfied. but DO try out the NARS setting powder :) because Stila's retails for $32 and for 2$ more you can get the NARS one for only $34!

hope this review helped you all :)

leather jacket obsession?

you will be hearing alot about fall and related things of course so think of it as a 'fall series' that i'm doing :) such as NECESSITIES for the fall! another must-have for this wonderful season is a leather jacket!!

I tell you, I think I have an obession with leather jackts, because everytime I see one...I WANT IT! haha but anyway right now I only have 2 in my collection. The first one is from H&M. I got this number when I went to California over the summer break and now I finally get to wear it because it's cold enough! YAY. and not only is it good for fall, its good for winter too of course!





Black leather moto-jacket.this one was $50 and I got the last one at the store! unfortunately it's just one size too big for me =/ BUT its perfect when I want to wear some layers :)

and next up.......







deep chocolate brown faux leather jacket! this one was about $33 at forever21. I got this just last week so I haven't had a chance to wear it yet :)

[apologies for my picture quality being sucky]

I recently saw a cream leather jacket somewhere that I must get my hands on...

hope you're all having a fab. week!♥♥

A new haul and a new OBSESSION!♥

yes yes its another haul video Im sorry haha but I went shopping the other day and just HAD to show you what I got because I am SO IN LOVE with everything I got, even though I didn't get very many things. It's just one of those shopping days where you only get a few things but you're so so happy and satisfied with what you got. know what I'm talking about? haha well anyway, I'll just show you all and explain on the way :)

FIRST I went to Sephora! ahh one of my loves. I can never resist you.
Ok so I am sooo excited about what I got because I stood in Sephora trying it on a million times to see if I should get it. I had a hard time deciding whether or not to get them because I was planning on going to MAC first and getting some lipsticks. but then I tried these on and just could not resist buying them. I also had a hard time choosing between these because they're both so lovely and they seemed quite similar so I just bought both and I am so happy I did!









black flower headband. super cute and I got it for a great deal at forever21.
.


♥♥Benefit's silky finish lipstick-I am so in love with these lipsticks, no kidding! and true to their words, they really are silky smooth. They're so soft and creamy-not at all drying-super smooth-amazing color-& shiny. oh my, I just don't know what more to say besides RUN OUT AND GET THEM NOW!! :) seriously. you are missing out if you have never owned one of these lipsticks.
but the ONLY downside to these lipsticks are the price. They come in at $18.00 a piece. which is more expensive than MAC's lippies. but you get really great packaging made of metal and it super nice and cute. overall it is so worth it and I'll definitely be purchasing alot more.



L:Candy Store-pearly copper pink (has some shimmer)
R:my treat-creamy vibrant rose



They do look a tiny tad bit similar to one another in the pictures but candy store has shimmer in it and is darker and my treat is a lot more vibrant.
