What I'm Obsessing: Black Friday!!!

Yes. I am one of those crazy people who get up at 3 in the morning the Friday after Thanksgiving to drive to the mall in the freezing cold weather, to go shopping. And let me add that later that day I will be having my wisdom teeth removed. Ya, big fun. But I can not stop thinking about Black Friday Shopping! I have been saving my money for all of November and I need to shop! Is it weird though that I normally shop for myself? Hmmm... Anyways, I have had my list building in my head for the past couple weeks now for want I want. Mostly makeup, perfumes, body sprays, and hats. But as you can see, it's mostly makeup. I think I'm going to splurge and start collecting the Benefit Boxed Powders that where shown in my Birthday Goodies post. Also, I'm really obsessing over Physician's Formula cosmetics....and Stila....and Benefit....ya. I'm really looking forward to Black Friday. :)

Prices and products shown, listed here!

P.S.: I am officially on Thanksgiving break!

Share the Stila Love

I am totally 100% in loooove with the Stila Travel Collection! There are a total of 5 palettes, but only 4 are shown. Each comes with 4 shadows and 1 blush/lip gloss convertable color. For only $10...for STILA MAKEUP PALETTES, you would be crazy not to buy them! Seriously, I want to collect them all. They are great as presents for your friends and they are totally perfect for stocking stuffers!...Mom, if your reading this, "wink, wink." ;) My favorite is the "Pretty in Paris," palette. The colors are so perfect for fall. If you want yours, you better head off to Ulta fast! These are selling SO fast and almost every different palette is out of stock on the Stila website. Be on the look out for a tutorial on my YouTube channel with one of these palettes soon. :)

Birthday Goodies

So with my birthday just two days away, you know I have a wishlist filled with super fun wants! Now I have my practical wishlist....and my, "OMG I Wish I had a Million Dollars!" wishlist. This is a crazy, "OMG I Wish I had a Million Dollars!" wishlist. Lately I have been SO obsessed with makeup, like, it's a tad ridiculous. But I'm really lusting over Coastal Scents, Sigma Brushes, and Benefit...oh and MAC. Yes, the $35 for a face brush MAC. Trust me, I tried not to get sucked in to all the MAC products, being so expensive and all, but I want to try the brand. I just do not know what products yet. Any who, here are some of my top picks for this birthday. :)

So here is a link to my Polyvore page where all the items and websites are listed. And just to let you know, the Sigma Brushes are just as good as MAC brushes, for like 1/4 of the price! Also, if you watch beauty gurus on YouTube (which by the way, I am one now) you know Coastal Scents is good quality and really inexpensive.

In or out?: Conair Infiniti Curling Iron

OMG! I haven't done a post in like a month! Junior year is just crazy, but I'm going to try to go back to my every other day blog post schedule:)

So for Homecoming this year I wanted to do my hair myself to save money, but I didn't want it to just be straight and boring. I ended up borrowing my friend's Conair Infiniti Curling Iron and let me tell you, it's ah-mazing!!!! It gives you perfect S-shaped curls or beachy waves if you don't use hairspray. I heard that it's difficult to use, but I caught on to the technique pretty quickly. I found it much less frustrating to use than your average clamp curling iron. Now it does take some time, up to an hour depending on your hair. And by the way, it works very nicely on shorter, chin length, hair styles too. I thought it was pretty fun wrapping your hair around it and making PERFECT curls, so the hour goes by fast. I never burned my hand but if you are worried that you might, you can always buy a heat glove at Sally's Beauty Supply. The one con I found was that it's very easy to turn off the iron while your curling your hair. But overall, I love this item and I will be using it tomorrow morning.

You can buy the Conair Infiniti Curling Iron at Target or Ulta for $34.95!

Give 'em Some Credit: E.L.F. All Over Color Stick

Here it is, a short and sweet blog post! Yay! One of my go to on the go (haha) products is the E.L.F. All Over Color Stick.

When Katie Met Mark.

I have been wanting to try Mark. makeup for quite sometime now, and when my friend became a representative it was obvious that I had to buy the products! After reading a TON of reviews many of the items sounded too good to be true. But, wow! Mark. makeup is now my go to brand. The products are ah-maaaazing! I already have lists of products to get on my next orders. For the quality of the products, it's fairly inexpensive, especially the brushes. These are all the items I've bought and I already want more.

Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara: I don't think I'd use again as a waterproof mascara (not because it ran, but because it just wore off) but definitely for everyday.

Curl Goddess Curling Gel: Smells ah-mazing, srong at first but light and fresh when your hair dries and it gives me nice beach-y waves.

Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss: I bought this in Pink Rush and it's the perfect color and the gloss isn't too sticky!

Get in Line Hook Up Waterproof Liquid Liner: Loooooove it! Really easy to apply.

Face Xpert Foundation: So cute, it comes with a little sponge applicator!

Matte-nificient Compact Powder: I have oily skin and this kept my makeup looking "matte" all day with just one application!

Foundation Brush: SO soft and really makes a difference when putting on your foundation.

Primed for Perfection Primer: Makes your makeup look and stay fresh all day.

Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter: Use it to highlight your brow and cheekbones and brighten your eyes. It's amazing!
