Hauling!!! 07.17.10

Hi girls!!! Just thought I'd share some recent purchases with you! This is a collective haul purchased within the last few weeks.

I am quite a bargain shopper and LOVE getting great deals...Who doesn't right??!! I recently went to Express and went straight to the back to the clearance section. I only had so much money to shop with so I needed bargains! I got this great cropped jacket that was love at first sight! It was the only one and fit perfectly! Notice the details on the shoulders! L.O.V.E.!!!

I also picked up this basic white tee. It is big on me but that's okay! I like the baggy look sometimes! I picked this basic tee up because I loved the shoulder detail and the pocket!

Then I picked up this black top also from Express. I have to disclose that my friend Tricia owns this top and when she wore it I fell in love so I copied her (sorry!) and when I found it buried in the clearance section, I couldn't resist!!! Sorry, Tricia you had to pay full price! Don't you hate that??

On another shopping adventure I headed to Marshalls. I am usually not very successful at finding things there. But this time, I was able to find a couple things!

I got this great summer dress. I love the color, so pretty!

And I also picked up this cardigan...

And lastly I thought I'd show you some shoes I recently picked up! While shopping at Target for my BFF's 8 year old daughter's birthday I somehow ended up in the shoe department. I don't know how that happened but Target has tons of their shoes on clearance right now! And guess what I found???

The infamous Cynthia Vincent shoes in my size for $7.58!!! I couldn't believe it! They are super cute!

Then at DSW I had 2 $10 off coupons and was able to pick these BEAUTIFUL Carlos Santana shoes up for a mere $29.99!

Well that's it! Hope you all enjoyed! Bye for now!!!

OOTD post (my first!!) 07.17.10

Hello Girls!! Hope you're all having a fab weekend.

The hubby had a Saturday off and joined me and my folks on our normal Saturday outing! We went to a hole in the wall diner for breakfast where you get 3 eggs, grits or potatoes and toast for $1.99! Can't beat that!

Then we went to a great farmer's market for some browsing. I didn't get any fruit or veggies (bad girl) but I treated my mama to a handmade necklace that is gorgeous!! I will have to try to get a picture of it to show you!

Anyhoo, here's my first outfit of the day post. Not used to shooting these, so bear with me!!

NECKLACE: Forever 21

Hope you all have a great weekend! See ya soon!

First NOTD post 07.04.10

Don't panic...I know this is my 2nd post in one day...what can I say? I'm on a roll! This is going to be my first NOTD post! I cannot believe I am even doing one of these as I do not even paint my nails often. Not because I don't like them painted but I am horrible at painting them! They usually end up looking like a 5 year old painted them! Anyhoo, I had been on the hunt for a beautiful summer pink polish. Not neon pink, not baby pink. Just a gorgeous almost raspberry pink. I found it at Ulta. It is China Glaze's "Make An Entrance" and I LOVE it! So pretty. I also purchased the Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat for the first time and it is love. I am very impatient about letting my nails dry and this is amazing!

What nail colors are you loving this summer?

Some new purchases 07.04.10

Hi girls!! Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. If you live in the states, you're probably celebrating Fourth of July, so happy 4th!! What do you have planned for the holiday? Mr. Label Snob and I are going to my BFF's for a cookout, so I'm looking forward to that.

Okay, now let's get down to business! My new purchases!!! I was hoping to make a drive to my closest CCO this weekend but doesn't look like I'm going to make it there. My closest CCO is over a hour away :( So I went to my local Ulta instead! Here's what I picked up!

So sorry for the blurry picture. The camera just would not cooperate!
So I picked up L'Oreal carbon black Lineur Intense felt tip liquid liner. I have been wanting to purchase this for a while. I have been trying to get better at applying liquid liner and figured a "felt tip pen" style was probably going to be my best bet. I have tried applying liquid liner with a brush and what a nightmare! I have very shaky hands so let me tell you, it was not pretty!!! Have you tried this? Let me know if you like it!

I also picked up an eyelash curler from NYC. I recently purchased a Revlon one as I had a $1.00 off coupon but it was horrible! It didn't curl my lashes at all! The one I had before the Revlon was this NYC one. It is so inexpensive at $1.49 but I tell ya it curls my lashes great! I have been wanting to purchase the famous shu uemura one but $19 for an eyelash curler?? Yikes! I guess I'm too cheap!

I also picked up the YouTube infamous NYC blushable creme stick in Plaza Pink. My Ulta has been out of this for weeks! I finally was able to get my hands on it and can't wait to try it. I'll let you know what I think of it after I have tested it out!

Then I picked up my first ever China Glaze nail polishes. I am such a OPI snob that I never would even look at other brands. But I'm really glad I picked these up. I got "Make An Entrance" and "Love Letters". They are both beautiful colors and I have my first NOTD post coming with the "Make An Entrance"!

I also purchased Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat for the first time. Honestly I am HORRIBLE at painting my nails! Mainly my problem is I am so impatient and don't allow my nails the time they need to dry! Of course every girl on the planet knows about this Seche Vite stuff but I just was not convinced it was going to solve my drying problem! But WOW! Okay I confess this stuff IS amazing. The brush is really weird though. It's really stiff and doesn't "fan" out when I apply it. Is that normal?

Well I hope you have a great weekend. Did you pick up any new purchases this weekend? Tell me what you got!
