Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a WONDERFUL Christmas if you celebrate and a wonderful holiday season no matter what you celebrate!! I lovelovelove Christmas and our tree will be up until the Epiphany on January 6th…even though this year that is making me a *little* nervous since baby boy is due January 9th! We saw Stephan’s parents on Christmas Eve, spent Christmas Day with just our little family, saw Stephan’s extended family on the 26th, and finally on the 27th we celebrated with my parents! We also had a small co-ed “Sprinkle of Love” for our baby boy over the weekend and that was such a great time! We are blessed!! Today I want to share some pictures and send love from my family to yours!! On Wednesday be ready for some of my favorite gifts of Christmas 2014!!

*Note: My Christmas Eve Outfit (pictured in the first photo at the very top of this post) is from Preppy Pink Shop! I did an entire blog post gushing on about her skirts, which you can find here, because she absolutely deserves it! She is fabulous, her work is fabulous, and I can’t wait to wear more of her skirts once I’m back in non-maternity clothes!!

Thank you for being a part of my life! Please subscribe and share! I am so excited for 2015!!! I want to take leahtackles places…starting with Etsy and Youtube!! MUUUUUAH!

PopSugar Must Have Box November 2014!!! BONUS POST!

November 20, 2014 & 2 Comments

Hi there! Happy THURSDAY! Or Happy Friday Eve ; ) Because that sounds much nicer to me!

I usually post on a Monday and Wednesday schedule but when both my PopSugar Must Have Box AND My Ipsy Glam Bag showed up I knew I had to squeeze one of them in right away for you guys!!

If you don’t know, the box contains full size items in all different categories: food, beauty, fashion, home, and sometimes an extra goodie too! *Usually* the PopSugar box usually arrives between the 10th-15th of every month for me…it ships from California via FedEx Smart Post, which means it goes out FedEx but arrives to my P.O Box.

November 2014 PopSugar Must Have Box:

The Secret Recipes by Dominique Ansel from Simon & Schuster:

This is such a beautiful baking book! This is written by the creator of the Cronut (YUM!) and has recipes for everyone, no matter your skill level so it says. It looks complicated honestly, but I still want to try some recipes out! I really enjoy baking, and I do have some baking books but none as fancy smancy as this! I think it would look gorgeous sitting in your kitchen or on a table, but with little kids mine is up with all of my other cookbooks.

$35

Saffiano Wallet On a Chain by Sorial:

I love this! I think it’s a fantastic idea and although I usually am carrying a big bag or diaper bag because I have little kids, this could be great for a girls night out or date night!! One concern is that I do *not* think this will fit larger phones like the iPhone 6. Quality wise this seems nice, but someone told me that the zipper on theirs came broken : / I am sure PopSugar will get it replaced quickly, but it does make me question the quality a bit. Still, very cute and functional! *Note: Lipstick shown in picture is for size reference!

$49

Ambergis Shea Butter Cream by K. Hall Simpatico:

I say this every time PopSugar sends luxury lotions…I LOVE IT! I don’t splurge on lotions but I definitely love them! The packaging of this is very luxe, but I don’t like the metal style tube because sometimes when you squeeze it they can crack…basically it is stylish but just doesn’t seem as functional this way to me…is that just me?! I opened this right away, but I had to do so with a pen because it doesn’t have that little part some caps have to poke it open. I love the light scent of this and have already been enjoying it!!

$22

Thoughtful Heart Stationery by Tiny Prints:

I just mentioned in a recent post how much I love sending snail mail to loves ones! And I *adore* pretty stationary, so this will definitely get used.

$15

Custom 3-Pack for POPSUGAR Must Have by Wine Glass Writer:

Oh my goodness! These are fantastic!! I am super pregnant, so I’m not currently consuming any wine, but I love wine and all the little accessories to go along with it! These are so much fun!!

$9.95

Chicago Mix Popped Corn by G.H Cretors

THIS. IS. UNREAL!!!! Are you paying attention?! UNREAL! Seriously!! I saw it an was kind of “meh” about it at first. I knew I would eat it, I do like carmel corn and popcorn, but it isn’t something I gravitate to if I’m in a chocolate shop or anything. But this?! Stop, seriously, stop! It is THE BEST SNACK I HAVE TRIED ALL YEAR! Hands DOWN! I know I sound sort of like a crazy preggo, but both my mother in-law and my friend who are also PopSugar subscribers have confirmed my feelings, this is the bomb.com! My husband doesn’t like carmel corn, and isn’t much of a snacker (it’s truely unfair actually!), but even he thought this was pretty amazing. I am buying a case of 12 bags on amazon for $35! That should last me a good two weeks ; )

$3.69

TOTAL BOX VALUE:

$134.64

After feeling lukewarm about the October PopSugar Must Have Box I am so happy with the November box! I love everything and everything will get used! I am super excited for the December box and hope that it ships plenty early so we can enjoy the goods before Christmas!

Do you subscribe to PopSugar? If you would like to you can sign up here for $39/month! I love subscription boxes and will be reviewing my November Ipsy Bag next week!! If there are any other subscriptions that you think I need to try, let me know in the comments or find me on social media! It’s always LeahTackles : ) Have WONDERFUL weekend my loves!!

Ipsy Glam Bag October 2014!

October 20, 2014 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I had a post prepared for today, but when I got my Ipsy bag in the mail right before leaving for a night away, I thought it would be a great time to do a true first impression of this bag. Please excuse the not so wonderful lighting, but you can see that I was really in a hotel ; ) Do you subscribe to the Ipsy Glam Bag?

October Ipsy Glam Bag:

The Bag:

The teal color is pretty, but I really don’t care for this bag. The quilted design in okay, but it is SO cheap-y looking and cheap/plastic feeling. I will use it for travel, but it isn’t anything I’m excited about.

Skyn Iceland Glacial Cleansing Cloths:

These smell very nice and worked well removing my makeup in the hotel. Very nice product! But to take the place of my beloved Neutrogena cleansing cloths? That’ll be hard!

Ayres Body Butter:

This is a tiny sample, but I always love trying lotions and body butters! This is made with the essential oils jasmine and rosemary, and I do like the smell. This does feel nice and rich, and I’m going to enjoy using this.

H20+ Face Oasis:

This says it is a hydrating treatment that is oil-free and non-greasy, which is important to me because I have combo/oily skin. I love trying new skin treatments, and am intrigued by the gel texture of this. This is a really high-end product, and I’m excited to get the chance to try it out with this generous sample.

Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara in 001 Blackest Black:

I already have an unopened package of this from my PopSugar Must Have Box, and now that I have two I am going to try it out. I love trying new mascaras, but I don’t like opening more than a couple at a time. I love that this is a full-size product!

Noyah All-Natutral Lipstick in Deeply in Mauve:

How cute is this tiny little lipstick?! Adorable mini lipstick but it did nick very easily on the edge when I opened it (you can see this in the picture where the lipstick got onto the tube). It is a great color for fall and the formula seems to be very creamy which feels great on the lips. The color seems to be buildable, and I really like it. It did wipe off pretty easily when I swatched it, but we will see how it wears on the lips!

I think I will really enjoy the cleansing cloths, even though they aren’t that exciting, and I really like the body butter as well. I think the lipstick is precious and I like that the color is very buildable! Do you subscribe to Ipsy? Did you like your box this month? I would love to hear from you! I am going to tweak my profile and see if my products improve a bit for next month, although I still think this was worth the $10. Have a wonderful week and thank you for reading!!

September Favorites!

September 29, 2014 & 5 Comments

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a great weekend! One of my good friends visited, and we had a wonderful time with beautiful weather! And my alma mater won big at our homecoming game : ) I am combining my beauty favorites and lifestyle favorites into one post this month. Let’s get right into it…

September Favorites:

1) M.A.C Paint Pot in Bare Study

This isn’t new to my collection, but I have been using it a lot lately and have fallen back in love. I love this as an eye shadow base or on days when I want a super natural look, alone.

2) Wet n’ Wild Coloricon Bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana

This is definitely NOT a bronzer, but it is part of the Coloricon Bronzer collection from Wet n’ Wild, and what it is is a *OMG* gorgeous highlighter. The price cannot be beat, and it comes with a huuuge amount of product. Love it!

3) Maybelline “The Nudes” Palette

I had been holding off buying this because I have so many neutral palettes…but when I saw it was buy one get one 50% off at Walgreens, I went for it because I needed some other Maybelline products. If you do not have this yet and you love neutral eye makeup, or if you have been holding off getting the Naked palettes by Urban Decay or other neutral palettes from high-end brands, YOU NEED THIS! It has had some mixed reviews, but I absolutely love it! I have worn it more than any of my other eye shadows this past month, and think it is definitely worth the $10-12. On the back it shows how you can break it up into quads, trios, and duos which is super helpful for people who maybe don’t know where to start with an eye look, and I find the quads especially to be fantastic! The pigmentation overall is good, although I will say that they wear and swatch much better with an eye shadow primer used first. The packaging is simple, not bulky, and very sleek for drugstore, but my one complaint is that there is no mirror. I could gush on and on about this, and if you’d like more information please let me know because this palette really could have its own post!

4) The Balm Shadow/Blush in Down Boy

This is a perfect baby pink blush! I love this because it looks great with so many eye shadow and lip combos! You can’t go wrong with it, but it is HIGHLY pigmented, so you only need a tiny bit!

5) Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder in Porecelain Ivory

This is my go-to everyday pressed setting powder ever since the Dream Wonder line replaced the Dream Matte line. I like that it gives an ever so slight coverage in addition to any foundation or BB cream you might have on.

6) EOS Lip Balm in Pomegranate Raspberry

I love the EOS lipbalms! And so does my 3 year old ; ) I like to apply these while I’m doing my makeup so that my lipsticks have a nice base…and this lipbalm is even thin enough that my matte lipsticks still appear matte but have a little moisture underneath.

7) Dual Ended Brow Brush with Spooli

Brand really doesn’t matter too much here, there are great low cost options as well as more high-end brushes, but I have been using powder for my brows lately and loving a dual ended brow brush with spooli.

8) NCLA Los Angeles Nail Polish in Rodeo Drive Royalty

I adore this nail polish! I mentioned it in my “Leah’s Friday Five” on the Pearls and Pastries Shop Blog, and it has been on my nails almost all month! I keep re-applying it because I can’t get enough of this gorgeous color!

9) Bauble Bar Arc Pendant Necklaces in Rose Gold

I have been loving my plain rose gold arc necklace layered with my pavé rose gold arc necklace! So simple and beautiful! This necklace from Bauble Bar is similar.

10) Gorjana Viceroy Necklace in Yellow Gold

This is such a beautiful simple piece! It goes well with everything!

11) Minnie Mouse Coffee Cozy

I found this adorable crochet Minnie Mouse coffee cozy from LNRCrochetDesigns on Etsy! The seller is super helpful and shipping was very fast. How cuuuute is this?! Seriously! Cute!

12) Name Bubbles Small Contact Clothing Labels

This is mostly for all the moms out there! Or maybe if someone is stealing your jacket off your chair at the office or your food out of the fridge at work, you too ; ) These labels are WASHER AND DRYER SAFE! And just STICK ON! Amazing. And they come in really cute designs, too. I was able to use a coupon code “B2SNB” for 10% off as well.

13) “Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids” by Laura Markham on Audible.com

This book is amazing! Stephan and I are only halfway through listening to this book, and it has changed our relationship with our kids (and eachother!!) for the better. I don’t think you need to be struggling or think there is a problem at all to gain a great deal from this book! I really think this book would be benefital to anyone, with grown kids, or without kids at all! We plan to pick up a paper copy as well to highlight our favorite parts. Seriously, READ THIS IF YOU HAVE KIDS!

Phew! That was pretty long! If you read all that, thank you so much! What things have you been reaching for and loving this past month? I would love to know! I hope that you have a great start to your week, and don’t forget to subscribe!! : )

My Morning Skincare Routine

August 27, 2014 & 1 Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Awhile ago I shared my Get Unready With Me: My Night-Time Routine and now I would like to share my morning skincare routine. While pregnant I do not use certain products, so this will be updated after the pregnancy and I can share that when the time comes.

MY MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE:

Step 1: Solve Math Problem Alarm App , Drink Water, and Drink Coffee

Math isn’t my thing, and so having the Freaky Alarm App makes sure I get up because I really have to think to solve even simple math in the morning!! The next step is throwing on a sweatshirt or a big comfy sweater because even in August, I’m cold most mornings. And then I drink a big glass of water which absolutely is part of my skincare routine(sometimes lemon water). And then finally, finally, my coffee (decaf right now!)…through a straw of course ; )

Step 2: Hair Goes Up

I put my hair up into a messy bun using a hair tie like these from Lucky Girl Hair Ties on Etsy or a big claw clip.

Step 3: Cleanse Face

I wash my face with my all-time favorite facewash, Purity by Philosophy with my Clarisonic. Then I dry my face with Kleenex Hand Towels to make sure that I’m not putting a dirty towel onto my just cleaned face. I also use a wash cloth just for my face after showering that I change out every couple of days to keep it as clean as possible.

Step 4: Use Toner

My favorite toner is an oldie but a goodie, Sea Breeze, and I like the one for sensitive skin.

Step 5: Use Moisturizer

I use Esteé Lauder Day Wear and it is my FAVORITE of all time!! I love that it has built in SPF 25, and never feels greasy on my combination/oily skin.

Step 6: Use Brightening Eye Cream

I have pretty bad dark circles…maybe it has something to do with two little kiddos and a pregnant mama?! ; ) To counteract the dark circles, I have been using the It’s Potent! Eye Cream from Benefit for a couple of years. I can tell that it helps, because a few times when I have not used it for awhile I can really notice a difference.

That’s it : ) Then I do any needed body grooming, get dressed, do my makeup, and hair. I hope that you enjoyed this post! What do you like to use for your morning skincare routine? Have a fantastic rest of your week and don’t forget to subscribe by entering your email in the box on the right side of this page! Thank you for reading!!

Manchester United vs. Real Madrid Record Breaking Game!

August 4, 2014 & 2 Comments

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Back in February I read that Ann Arbor, MI was rumored to be hosting Manchester United vs. Real Madrid for a game in the Guinness International Champions Cup. I knew if it was true I wanted to nab tickets because my husband is a big fan. Finally it was confirmed and I was able to snag tickets on Stub Hub for an inflated price (of course!!) for the August game!! Tickets to this once in a lifetime game were the *perfect* gift for my husbands August birthday.

Earlier this summer I was asked to participate with Fanatics.com initivate called “Family Fanatics” by sharing a time when sports helped bring my family together. I knew that this game would be the perfect thing to write about, and I’m so excited to share our amazing experience with you all! Fanatics.com has a huge selection of sports gear and I was amazed at the choices! I have my eye on an adorable pom-pom Manchester United Hat for winter. I am not affiliated with Fanatics.com and as always all opinions are my own. I have NEVER accepted money in exchange for a positive review.

My husband, Stephan, and I were lucky enough to have my parents who live close by avaliable to watch Hailey and Connor, and also to drive us downtown for the game. We arrived to Ann Arbor early and were able to walk around before heading to the stadium. Cheverolet, a big sponsor, hosted an invent where you could interact with their new 2015 cars to win prizes, get your picture taken, get your face painted, and participate in soccer drills. We took advantage of all of the fun and had a great time : ) After that we headed to the stadium, got some food and drinks, and headed to our seats at “The Big House”!

Leaving for the game…super excited!

Strike a pose!

Face Painting was necessary.

My new ride (ha-ha!)

I’ve never seen UofM Stadium look so good (::Cough go state! Cough::) ; )

Enjoying a Guinness before the game ; )

Game time with my babe!!

Soccer is awesome! You could actually clearly see every play!!

Our seats : )

Breaking records! Highest attendance for a soccer game in the U.S: 109,318!!

This game was such a special experience! Manchester United, the team we were rooting for, won! But the game was so much more than that!! The game Stephan and I the perfect opportunity to have quality couple…and anyone with young kids knows that this can be rare! Having “us” time is an essential part of bringing our family closer together because investing in us makes us a stronger couple. We want dates for our sanity ; ) But we also want dates for our children! Plus, they got quality nana and grandpa time: Win, win! If you get the opportunity to attend events like this with your significant other or friends, do it! It doesn’t matter if it’s a sporting event, music fest, whatever…they create amazing memories!

I hope that you all had a great weekend! Did you attend any fun events? Let me know : ) And please, subscribe to my blog to really make my day!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your lives to read my little blog!!

July Favorites!

August 1, 2014 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Friday!!!!!

After grabbing my favorite items for this post I was going to break it up into sections of beauty items vs. lifestyle items, take invidual photos, do swatches…the whole nine yards! But then I decided it is FRIDAY and who wants to read all that?! So, if you have any questions on any of the products mentioned *please* feel free to comment and I will absolutely get back to you! I may go back to doing favorites more like this or maybe I’ll stick to something more short and sweet like this. I also want to start mention any product flops…it could be helpful! : ) You can definitely let me know your opinions as well!

Now, let’s jump into it!

JULY FAVORITES:

1) “She…” by Kobi Yamada

This book is so special and would be a beautiful gift for any girl. Each page has an inspiring message and the books deisgn is stunning.

2) Hair Donut

Okay, so at first these reminded me of Bumpits (who remembers those from a few years back? Yes, I totally had one! NO worries!) and I was pretty unsure but late last year I picked up a hair donut….I love it! It makes doing the perfect sock bun so easy, and yes I realize you can do it with a sock, but this just works so well for me! This isn’t a new item to me, but it’s a rediscovered favorite, and I’ve been loving it for second day hair. You can get them at Claire’s or Ulta, but I got mine off Amazon.

3) Sparkly Gold Coaster

I just made these glitter coasters for a DIY and I am in love! They are so cute and functional. They make everyday special and I love things like that.

4) Scotch Expressions Washi Tape

I love washi tape and having them so accessable now from companies like Scotch is so conveinient! I like these for hanging up things on my wall, sealing envelopes, and countless craft projects.

5) Zoya Nail Polish in Rooney

I mentioned this in my post What I Wore to the Michigan Girls Blogging and Social Media Meet Up and it has been on my nails a large majority of the summer. It’s a beautiful hot pink that leans on the blue toned side and it goes on perfectly every time.

6) Essie Nail Polish in Urban Jungle

This is a gorgeous nude that is unlike anything I own! It isn’t white but also isn’t nude…it’s the perfect off white, neutral color! It is described as “alabaster orchid”. Out of all the nail polishes I have, Essie is always my biggest crush, and this one doesn’t disappoint.

7) Too Faced Natural Eyes

These 9 neutral eye shadows are super pigmented and blend like a dream! I adore this little kit!!

8) Arboone Lip Saver Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen

This product I’ve only had for the better part of a week, so considering it a July favorite is a *bit* of a strech…BUT it’s wonderful! I’ve used it every day since I’ve had it and like putting it on before my lip color. It doesn’t have a yucky sunscreen taste and it is a very shiny chapstick that could truly be worn alone for a nautral summer look.

9) Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in 235 Pink Pop

Super pigmented, long wearing, not too sticky but sticky enough to last more than 10 minutes….I love this lip gloss! The packaging is chic and looks very high end to me which is fabulous for the drugstore price tag. The color Pink Pop is so fun for summer and you can wear this alone and still achive a very hot pink lip.

10) Anthropologie Marbled Sunglasses

I really wanted a pair of round sunglasses and when I saw these with the rose gold toned glitter and tortoise?! I was sold!

11) Lucky Girl Hair Ties

These are my favorite hair ties right now and I love that they cute on my wrists as well. I don’t tend to wear my hair up, but on days when I rock an Elsa braid (as my 3 year old calls it!), I use these : )

12) Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

This is SO amazing! I have been using this nearly every day lately! The contour colors blend out flawlessly and they never look muddy or organge even on my super fair complextion.

That’s it : ) Now, I want to know! What have YOU (yes, YOU!!) been loving lately? I would love to hear your thoughts, product suggestions, and opinions! So let me know by commenting…it’s easy, just click the link by the title of this post. Also, what are your plans for the weekend? I am *super* excited because the hubster and I are going to a Manchester United soccer game…..eeeeeep!!!! Thank you for reading and please subscribe if you enjoy my posts : ) Have a fabulous weekend loves!!

POPSUGAR MUST HAVE BOX JULY 2014!

July 16, 2014 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!!

Today I am *SO* excited to be reviewing the PopSugar Must Have Box for July 2014!! The box contains full size items in all different categories:food, beauty, fashion, home, and sometimes an extra goodie too! The PopSugar box usually arrives between the 10th-15th of every month for me…it ships from California via FedEx Smart Post, which means it goes out FedEx but arrives to my P.O Box. I am LOVING this months box, so let’s get right into it!!

JULY 2014 MUST HAVE BOX:

Beach Hat from Michael Stars

$48

I LOVE Michael Stars and I was thrilled to see a fun sun hat in this months box. I have several beach hats and floppy hats now, and I really need to find more opportunities to wear them! This is a nice hat becasue it isn’t too huge and oversized (which is fabulous also!), and that makes it wearable on a more frequent basis.

Sunscreen and Lotion from Sun Bum

$20

First off, these smell AMAZING!! I love that coconut, sunscreen-y scent! I always wear sunscreen, and I am always happy to have some more on hand. Also, the packaging is so cute!!

Toasted Coconut Chips from Dang Foods

These are so tasty! I shared a few with Stephan because we are both huge coconut fans, but now I am going to have to get some more of these! I love that the only ingredients are coconut, sugar cane, and salt.

Jump Rope With Soft Grip Handles from TKO

$13

I have been wanting an athletic jump rope for awhile now, and I am really excited to try this out. And I’m not sure how fast you’d have to jump to burn 170 calories in 15 minutes…but it claims that it is possible, so SIGN ME UP!

Chevron Paper Straws from ACME Party Box Company

I love paper straws and these ones are so cute!

Ziggy Salad Servers from French Bull

$12

These are so cute! I love that PopSugar includes so many fun kitchen gadgets because they are all things that I typically wouldn’t buy myself, but absolutely adore! Summer is the perfect time to show off such fun serveware!!

Bold Lacquer Length & Volume Mascara from Revlon

This is the special extra this month and I am glad that it’s an extra. As you all know, I love makeup! But I would prefer and eye shadow, a lip product, or maybe a blush. Ohh or nail polish…but that’s not quite makeup ; ) I know mascara is easy because there isn’t a color-match issue, and I will definitely try this one out!

This box has a total value of just over $110 and I am VERY happy with it!! Do you subscribe to PopSugar or any other subscription boxes? As always, I would love to hear about them!! I hope that you have a WONDERFUL rest of your week! And don’t forget to enter my Ell and Emm bracelet giveaway!!

High-End Beauty Haul

June 25, 2014 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a collective high-end beauty haul to share with you! This haul is a combo of online shopping, Sephora, and Esteé Lauder. Once again, all titles are links!

Let’s get started!!

Lorac:

Summer Glo Eye Shadow Palette:

I am completely LOVING this little palette! At $24 the price is affordable for a great quality 10 pan eye shadow palette that is different than anything else I have in my collection. I am definitely a neutral girl, but I love all of the subtle pops of color that are showing up everywhere this summer, and I think this is a great way to dip my toes into the pool of color possibilities ; ) I love that there are both matte and shimmer colors, and that the palette provides neutral browns and colors to blend with. I have been loving putting the blue shadows along my lash line for a different summery look. If you’re interested in a more indepth look at this, let me know!

Zoya Nail Polish:

In this GORGEOUS coral color called Wendy! I can’t stop wearing this on my nails! And in Rooney which is the *perfect* pink for summer. I love these two colors for a mani/pedi combo…they aren’t matchy matchy, but compliment eachother well.

Esteé Lauder:

DayWear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme Broad Spectrum SPF 25:

This is my absolute favorite moisturizer! I was out, and excited to opt for the SPF 25 instead of 15.

Advanced Time Zone Night Age Reversing Line/Wrinkle Creme:

I have never used this before and I am SO excited to have it! It is such a rich and luxurious moisturizer for nighttime.

Advanced Time Zone Age Reversing Line/Wrinkle Eye Creme:

This is just an itty-bitty sample and I’m excited to try it!

*Thank you to my mom for the anti-aging goodies ; ) So important!

Pure Color Lipstick in 03 Crystal Pink:

This is a creme lipstick that was a gift with purchase and it’s a pretty, neutral pink that I like because it feels so nice on the lips.

Anastasia Contour Kit:

This is limited to one/customer online and is hard to find in Sephora stores…for good reason! I have heard that people aren’t pleased with the cardboard packaging, but it seems to be study to me, and I think that also kept the price reasonable. The contour shades and highlight shades all blend beautifully, and even on my pale skin the contour shades do not appear at all orange or fake. The pans are removable and you can replace colors as you run out. I can’t wait to play with this some more!! If you can find this, grab it!! And let me know if you’d like a full review on this kit : )

What high-end items have you been loving lately? I would love some new suggestions! Please don’t forget to subscribe by entering your email into the subscribe box on the right side of the screen! You’ll make my day ; )
