*It's expensive, but worth the money, truuuust.

one night stand (for your hand)

So a while back, I got this from Marc by Marc Jacobs along with a purchase I made at the store. When I got it, I didn't think I'd ever use it, but today, I was bored and thought, "why not?"


What do you think?

I rather like 'em, but they're supposed to last only for a day or two. I hope they last a little longer than that! 


You can find their website here. It's also sold at Sephora which you can find here.  At $15, they're pretty expensive and it's unlikely I'll buy 'em, but if I had the money, I'd definitely get them.

Did you guys remember to make a wish? 


If not, you can still make a wish tonight at 11:11(:11) PM.


But some can technical and say that according to military time, tonight will be 23:11 not 11:11. But that's all up to your own interpretation/preference. 


Happy Veteran's / Peppero Day as well!

ONE minute review - Eos Lip Balms!

We are going to try and do one minute reviews of products, movies, foods, etc. Just whatever happens to be floating (or sinking ha.ha.) our boats these days.  I thought it would be perfect to start off with eos Lip Balms since I've gone on crazy mode and have started to buy these like they're going to be discontinued. [Well, some are limited edition after all] 


Here's a recap:

• Strawberry Sorbet - fruity! like pink? like strawberries? then this is the one for you!
• Lemon Drop (w/ SPF 15) - obsessed with sun care? like lemons or lemonade? this is the one for you!    ** this one does smell a bit waxier than the others because of the spf. it also seems to not go on as easily, but once on your lips, they feel the same as the others.
• Sweet Mint - minty! like baby blue? like tingly lip balms? this is the one for you!
• Honeysuckle Honeydew - I know this one wasn't in the video, but that's cause I finished it and threw it away :(   I think this had to be my top 'cause I love the smell of melons! Melony and in a beautiful minty green case. 

OH MAN the pastel-y colors are sooo purty! must.get.medicated.tangerine.  Hayon had the summer fruit one and preferred the Honeydew one so perhaps one day, I'll try it, but for now, I'm going to try the tangerine one first!


Hope you guys like the one minute reviews! Definitely more to come so stay tuned!

Sephora Friends & Family Sale Haul

Sephora got me with their friends & family sale this year. I had been waiting to buy these products but I didn't need need them so I kinda put 'em on the back burner for a bit.  But as soon as I found out I would be able to get 20% of my entire purchase, I decided, why not buy 'em all? muahahaha! 


So here are the things I bought:

• Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
• Murad Acne Treatment Concealer - Light
• Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream
• All-Nighter Long Lasting Setting Spray
• pureDKNY scent spray - 1 oz.

from Sephora's online store:

pureDKNY
Look good. Feel good. Do good. This pure new scent adds a drop of vanilla to a world that needs a moment of calm. More than a fragrance, it embraces a way of being that takes time out for the simple things, the things closest to the heart: love, joy, comfort, relationships, and community. The fragrance's top notes soar of the pure scent of vanilla. Accords of dewdrop petal, lotus flower, and Bulgarian rose harmonize with a floral heart of jasmine, freesia and lush orchid. It finishes in a cradle of warmth: white amber, creamy sandalwood.

The vanilla used in this fragrance is grown sustainably in Uganda. pureDKNY also supports CARE, an international development organization, in a specific microfinance project that will reach 900 Ugandan vanilla farmers, many of whom are women.

The bottle, organic in shape and inspired by a drop of water, appears to be formed by nature. The materials include 100% recyclable glass and a cap of high-purity aluminum. Its compostable box is made of sustainably harvested paper manufactured in a mill that uses 100% renewable energy.

Notes:
Vanilla, Dew-Drop Petal, Lotus Flower, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine, Freesia, Lush Orchid, White Amber, Creamy Sandalwood.
Style:
Simple. Calm. Authentic.

pureDKNY Verbena
Look good. Feel good. Do good. This pure scent adds a fresh drop of verbena to a world that needs a moment of calm. More than a fragrance, it embraces a way of being that takes time out for the simple things, the things closest to the heart: love, joy, comfort, relationships, and community.

This fragrance's verbena calls to mind sparkling citrus and crisp green basil— a naturally derived ingredient sourced from Africa. The scent's overall character is fresh and bright. A light mix of floral notes, including honeysuckle, peony, jasmine petals, is balanced with a finish of white amber, sea moss, and vetiver.

The bottle, organic in shape and inspired by a drop of water, appears to be formed by nature. The materials include 100% recyclable glass and a cap of high-purity aluminum. Its compostable box is made of sustainably harvested paper manufactured in a mill that uses 100% renewable energy.

DKNY pureDKNY Verbena is an Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner.

Notes:
Verbena, Honeysuckle, Peony, Jasmine Petals, White Amber, Sea Moss, and Vetiver.
Style:

Providence, Rhode Island

Visited this tiny little town yesterday and yes, it is T-I-N-Y.  But my friend and I went over to check out the Half-Yearly Sale at Nordstrom, because there aren't any Nordstroms in Boston :(  I didn't end up buying anything, but I'm glad I went, just so that I can say I've been, haha!
