Saturday morning my family and I headed to the outlet mall. As a college student I appreciate shopping discount and it was great that J.Crew Factory was 50% off! Unfortunately I didn't find much, but I did find a couple of things that I LOVE --> Navy Blue Chino shorts (where are you warmer weather?) and a flower "clusterish" necklace with gold hardware. I have been eyeing the necklace for months and feel that it is very versatile. The chinos are also a great addition to my wardrobe because Navy is my neutral and I just know I will get a ton of use out of the shorts once the weather is appropriate.
Target is always promising and on my latest trip this past Saturday I picked up a Burt's Bees lipstick in the color 532 Russet River. I love everything about this new product and plan on getting more shades. The lipstick is moisturizing, color is lightly pigmented so it's easy to build up, the packaging is sleek, eco friendly, and fun! The second item I purchased is an exfoliating body scrub AND wash! It is genius that this product is two in one. The brand You are Amazing had about 6 different scents to choose from and the tube of 8oz was $3.99. I loved the scent I picked up and the price (again broke college student-wants a bang for her buck.) This product immediately smoothed out my dry winter skin after one use. It is a quick and easy product to use that made me feel like I put much more effort into my shower routine than I really did.
You are never too old for a teat from the Easter bunny! As a girl with super stick straight hair I have found myself with a plethora of curling irons, some got old and thrown out, others lost, some broken, and others I gave up on. I somehow am always looking for my next go to curling iron. I have a 1in, 1.5 in, and a curling wand, but oh no I was now missing a 1.25in! I justify each heating tool because hello, they all do something different. So the Easter bunny heard my cry and got me a curling iron! I was way too excited about this. I tried it right away and loved it. It is a Pro Beauty tools 1.25in curling iron and is fairly inexpensive. It gave me the loose bouncy curls I was looking for and was easy to use. I highly recommend this curling iron because you are given full control of the heat temperature (also heats up fairly quickly,) the cord is long and rotates 360 degrees, and the handle is thin and easy to grasp.
Sometimes you just need a few treats to perk you up and I am so happy with this mini haul because they are all products I will get much use out of!
