Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while. I've been out testing a whole bunch of products but for some reason I always forget to come back and talk about them. woops. I'll be talking about the B&BW mist I received from Influenster's VoxBox Program. If you don't know what that is, it's a site where you have the chance to fill out surveys about things that you like and use...you're then possibly selected and sent a package with things to try and review. Anywho, I received this a few months ago and this was probably my favorite. I have been buying from here for years and luckily I was sent a full sized mist in my FAVORITE scent Sweet Pea. They changed the packaging to where it feels sturdier and looks better. I'll include a picture later, as I'm away from my home desktop :( But it's really great. I was getting low on mine which still was from the older packaging and was about to repurchase and this was just great!

May Glam Bag: I'm over it!

That's right, I'm just about to cancel this thing. I've been pretty unhappy with what I've been receiving lately. I just recently resubbed to Birchbox and I think I'm going to try it out for a while. I did like this month's box. I'll be posting that up after this. Anywho, I'm likely to try out that Beauty Box 5 soon. It might seem like a lot, but I love trying out new brands and not having to pay full price. So, take a look and see at what I got this month.

This is the Studio Gear lipstick in Warm & Cozy. The color was nice but it was a pearl finish, which I can't stand.

I just gave it to my mom, lol.

A concealer brush, eh nothing special

An eyeliner brush, YAAAAWN.

These hideous nail bling stickers lol

Sorry, it's just not my thing.

Oh yeah, and this perfume sample....that I can get for free from Sephora.com

bye bye baggies!

Are any of you still subbed to Myglam? Are you happy with it? Let me know, I'd love to hear:)

Hello!!!

If anyone cares to remember me here, I am back! I'm working on a couple reviews at the moment that I hope to have out by the end of the week:) Meanwhile, check out my instagram @yessypea

Day 10 — Current fashion/style you like

Hey everyone. Mkay, so I'm not a huge fashion junky....I dress for comfort lol...and I live in black and red...lol plus where I work it's really easy to get dirty, I've only recently figured this out (through a few pairs of now RIP shoes). haahah. Anywho, I have been noticing like nudes with pops of color...it looks really cute. So, I decided to interpret that with a manicure =]

For the "nude" which is more of a pinky nude: Essie--Eternal Optimist
For the pop of color: Orly--Green Apple
Top Coat: Seche Vite Natural Matte Finish (just because I wanted a slightly more toned down look)
Oh, and the cute little bow was a decal I purchased on ebay. Check them out, they're sooo inexpensive.

Do you have a favorite fashion or style?
Do you ever interpret current trends on your nails?
let me know :)

I'M ALL UP ON THE TWITTER!

lol not really...I just got this thing....follow me @ yessypea.

who do y'all think I should follow?
I'm soooo new to this lol

Day 09 — Your favorite pair of shoes

Here is a very quick post to fulfill my 30 day challenge commitment, haha. If there is one thing about me you should know, is that I love being comfortable. So I love my moccasins lol I wear a pair almost everyday. And now with the summer heat, come the sandals. I have a few pairs, but my all time favorite pair were my Minnetonkas but after a concert a few weeks ago, they have since been retired ahhaha. Here is another pair I own, I got them from some store at the mall called Shiekh.

do YOU have a favorite pair??

oh, and just wanted to thank all my followers! I really appreciate it and I love reading your comments! have a GREAT weekend!

#9: Highlighters of Choice (featuring june birchbox item) + Day 08 — A photo that makes you laugh

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing well =]
Really quickly, just wanted to share with you all the 3 highlighters I've been using lately.
I didn't swatch just because...it's a pain in ass to photograph highlights? lol but when I use these products in a later post, I'll link back to this post.

First we have MAC's Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle

• Peach/Pink bronzey effect with high frost
• 10 grams of product
  
• Retails for $28

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is something I got from my Birchbox this month
Laura Geller's Blush-n-Brighten in Como / Portofino

• Peach/Pink bronze effect with not as much frost as the MAC MSF
• 9 grams of product
• You can swirl your brush and combine the top and bottom color for a rosy blush...but I am leaning towards the highlighter more than the the blush.
• Retails for $29.50 from Birchbox.com or Laurageller.com (did not find this shade on the Laura Geller website)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

And lastly, our bargain product.
ELF's Studio Bronzer in Golden Bronzer

• Yes, I know it says it's a bronzer but on my skin tone it works as a highlight.
• Warm bronze effect with a good a dewy turnout
• 12.3 grams of product
• Can combine all four shades or choose which one is best for your skin tone.
• Retails for $3 from eyeslipsface.com or Target

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, thats it for my highlights...now on to the challenge lol
Day 08 — A photo that makes you laugh

I know this sounds so random hahaa...lets get over the challenge part quickly...

this was my pet duck Mr. Quackers..and I miss him dearly :[

Okay everyone, have a GREAT weekend!

#7: Emerald City NOTD

I've always been kind of scared to wear darker green nail polish...it makes me feel kind of "witchy." This one has been sitting in my collection for a cool minute now...and here it is.. Revlon's Matte Suede in Emerald City. The finish is really different from any other polish that I own but I didnt photograph it before top coat..woops. Anywho, I really do like it. Not quite a "summer color" but I never live by the rules ;) lol my hands and cuticles are not with it right now lol..I have to work with my hands at work
and wash them CONSTANTLY hahha

oh yeah and not to confuse anyone the numbered posts with "#" are my regular post...not related to the challenge which you can read about here.

Day 06 — Anything Hello Kitty...er uhm DOMO

Ok, I know this is the second post "non-beauty" related but this challenge is too cute and fun lol...anywho...so I'm not a HELLO KITTY person..I wont go as far as to say I'm anti-kitty (haahah) but it just doesnt catch my eye...DOMO on the other hand does. I LOVE this little monster and my boyfriend and I have a little connection with it *tummy butterflies lol...well here's this DOMO I designed to look like him...I made it for a birthday card I gave him earlier this year...

and that's my "anything domo post"
=]
oh yeah and am I alone in this non-hello kitty world??? hahaha

Day 05 — Your favorite thing to do

Hmm, besides makeup and sleeping....I'll say photography. Here are a few samples of my work, both film and digital.

hope you enjoy!

Day 04 — Your favorite foundation

hey again! so, I kind of failed at blogging for 30 days straight...well, let me explain. I had to be rushed to the hospital this weekend....such a terrible place to be. It was a really scary experience but at least one of the paramedics that came for me told me she liked my nails, lol. So, that's my reasoning.

Anywho, back to today's blog..my favorite foundation...Make Up For Ever HD Foundation. *sound of the clouds opening up* hahaah. The formula is so nice and blendable..I tend to just use my hands to apply just because it's a very runny and liquidy foundation...so using a brush is a little more of a hassle for me. It gives me medium coverage..and leaves my skin looking so smooooooth. Ah, I just love it :)

Day 03-- Your favorite brush

Hmm first thing that came to mind is my sonia kashuk small multipurpose brush...so soft and versatile and only 11 bucks at target!
