A Very Merry Christmas!

 I hope you guys had a very merry Christmas! I was extremely blessed this Christmas and I received some awesome gifts from my students, coworkers and friends. Here are some of the gifts my parents got me. 

Sigma Face Kit  

I am sure you guys have heard about Sigma brushes; well I finally got some! I cannot believe how amazing these brushes feel on my skin. 

 The Art Of Bathing 

I love Lush bath bombs and bubble bars so naturally when I got the art of bathing I was extremely excited. I foresee ALOT of awesome baths in my future. 

 Sephora Favorites Fragrances

My mom surprised me with an awesome fragrance set from Sephora!  

 Etienne Aligner Riding Boots 

 I have lusted after these boots for years!! I have wide calfs so its really hard to find cute wide calf boots. Well finally Etienne Aligner heard my cry and started making these amazing boots in wide calf.

 Acrylic Make Up Box 

This is probably my favorite gift. For years I have kept my make up in two clear plastic drawers from The Container Store. I liked them but I just didn't love the way the drawers looked. I absolutely love my new Acrylic make up box. It can comfortably fit my Urban Decay Naked palettes and the Vice Palette. 

Urban Decay Vice Palette 

I mean what can I really say about this? I feel like the picture speaks for its self! The pigmentation in this palette is amazing!! 

What I Wore: 

So I know you guys probably hate when I do this but...The majority of my outfit is really really old! 

Shirt- J. Crew (still in the outlet stores) 

Skirt- Forever 21 (extremely old) 

Shoes- Madden Girl (old) 

Month in Review: June

I am a bit sad that the first month of summer is over. I have been spending my days doing a whole lot of nothing and frankly I love it! I enjoyed June but I am so excited that it is finally July; because of my birthday of course. 

Urban Decay Perversion Eyeliner

You guys know I am a fan of pretty much anything Urban Decay makes; so when I was out of eyeliner I rushed to Sephora to get a new stick of Urban Decay Zero. Well I saw Perversion and played around with it and decided to give it a try. Guys I love it! I know it's cliche but it truly glides on like butter! But that isn't my favorite part... I love that it actually comes off when you wash your face. I feel like extra black eyeliner never comes off but Perversion comes off easily with make up remover. I recommend this eyeliner to anyone who likes black liner; it's a must buy! 

H&M Grand Opening 

 About a year ago H&M started airing commercials on Houston television stations and it drove me crazy. For years I have made a point to visit H&M whenever I visit cities that feature the store in their local malls or shopping areas. Well Dallas was the first Texas city to get H&M and saying I was a bit bitter is an understatement. In early January rumors started that Houston was finally going to get a few H&M stores and I prayed it was true. At the end of May H&M opened in a mall about an hour away and I was more than happy to visit it despite the long drive. H&M must have heard my prayers because just last week they opened a store fifteen minutes away from my house and I was more than happy to drag Christi to their grand opening. Christi and I waited in line for 7 hours so we could say we were amongst the first 250 people to visit the store. 

We didn't leave the grand opening empty handed we received a free drawstring backpack filled with goodies like H&M notebooks, a T-shirt, a jewelry pouch and a purse hanger. 

I bought tons of things at the grand opening but I just had to show you guys these amazing pants I found. I have no clue how I'm going to wash them... Any ideas? 

 

Fifty Shades of Grey 

I mentioned to you guys at the end of May that I had started reading Fifty Shades of Grey and I am now pretty much obsessed with the series. I have already read two books who have been dubbed copy cats but I still can't get over these books. I like many of you spend time trying to figure out who could play Christian Grey in the movie version of the books but I'm still not sure. 

A Very Happy Girl

Saturday morning I woke up and put my name on Urban Decay's wait list for the Naked 2 palette. Then after brunch I went to Macy's just to look in their make up section. And what do you know...They had the palette! It seems like Macy's always has a great stock of make up every time I go but I'm so hooked on Sephora! 

The colors look basic but they are so pigmented and fun. I use the original naked palette every single day and now I can't wait to use this one. 

 What a happy little family! 

As you can see I love the original naked palette. 

What was under the tree for ME!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I am totally loving this break from teaching! I have been spending it surfing the net (is that term old yet?), watching Sex and the City and SLEEPING! Here is a run down of some of the things I got for Christmas.

An ILuv ipod docking station. I really am enjoying this stereo because the sound is amazing. There is also a "mood light" that pulses with the beat of the music I listen to.

DJ Hero 2...I am on my way to be an awesome DJ!!

 

Make up brushes that I needed! O and they are pink which is a total plus.

And Urban Decay Primer Potions!!
