New H&M Outerwear (67)

Took an hour lunch today to go to a new H&M grand opening ! I used to drive about 15 minutes to this other one but it was so tiny and there wasn’t much interesting in the mall it was in. Now I have one right down the road! WHOOT! AND I must say I’m loving it compared to the other ones in the DC area. Even compared to the Tyson’s Corner and Georgetown ones, this one carries more my style of clothing. (THANK GOD!)

Mike took a long lunch to go too and we were among the first 100 people in line which = freebie score! I got 50$ worth in gift certificates plus a t-shirt, bag, and umbrella. The lady standing next to me was kind enough to trade my M size for her S! It was a lot of fun because the other people in line were pretty cool and nice to talk to. Plus Godiva was passing out free dark chocolate truffles, hahaaa

I ended up getting 2 new outwears! First, a parka with fur! I’ve been wanting one of these for a couple of years now, and I got it for $20 (originally 70$!) I also got a new blazer. I have one already but I liked the fabric for this one plus it’s pure black (mine has pink pinstripes) and it’s longer than my current one.

Double Extend Mascara (31)

L’Oreal’s Double Extend Mascara

I’m a little tired so hopefully this entry won’t sound crazy

Finally got to try this mascara! Saw it on Project Runway then in one of my magazines (but I can’t find it again, lol.) Got it at Target for $7.99 (sale yo!) It’s a fiber mascara that includes a primer. I hadn’t used a fiber or a primer before but I really wanted something that was dramatic but also non-smudging so I could use it on my lower lashes. I’ve tried tons of waterproof mascaras on my lower lashes and they always smudged after a few hours giving me raccoon eyes.

Sadly I’ve only been able to wear this after work in the evenings so I can’t 100% contest to the non-smudging just yet. Friday I’ll get to really put it to work since I’ll be back in the office. So far though, no smudging especially from the lower lashes! YES, YES!

This is supposed to be an alternative to wearing falsies to achieve length. I found it did lengthen and add drama, but it can’t match up to some of the more dramatic lashes out there. BUT it did add as much drama as when I wear natural lashes. It’s a little time consuming to put on but I don’t really mind that. It’s also a heavier mascara but that was expected. Can’t have drama without weight in the eyemake world! The only complaint I really have is it looks like it’ll take some practice getting used to using the primer wand better. One eye came out really nice with lashes separated but when I did my left eye my lashes sorta clumped together. I’m not used to using primers, LOL

Some finished photos from my first attempted. I’m only wearing a tiny bit of the Kate red eyeshadow as a liner.

Sparkle Tee for the Holidays (57)

How’s everyone’s weekend!?
I’m feeling a but bummed out it’s already Sunday night hahaa
I had a pretty great weekend. Yesterday I went out to the mall and what not. Not going to be able to do that much longer. Holiday shopping has started and the roads are packed with panic-stricken insane drivers who are out to kill anyone in their path!

I found my new favorite key item Friday night! We ordered pizza for dinner and after-wards Mike asked why I was still dressed and not in my sweats? I told him we’ve been randomly going out some nights and I was tired of always having to throw on clothes and having fug hair when we do. He laughed and got up and said, “Let’s get out then!!”

Found this top at Forever 21. Loved it! It’s a sparkly silver, loose fitted, short tee! It really reminded me of something I’d find at Free People. Plus I love the sparkle for the holiday season
I just had to get it!
Already got a compliment on it Saturday at Sephora, haahaa
