Yay, Happy New Year & all that jazz!
It's back to work tomorrow after a too-short break away from the kiddos, so I thought I'd help the wounds by shopping. Apparently, everyone else in my town thought the same.....woof.
I headed to Victoria's Secret for their semi-annual sale before going to Old Navy and Ulta. A mini spree, yes, but I'm still stoked about the goods!
Shall we just skip the VS portion of the shopping trip? I think so...
Oh, and let's forget the fact that I lost my camera cord and had to take these with my trusty iPhone.
OLD NAVY
Striped Sweater -- Not entirely sure what drew me in about this seeing as how it is bright and has stripes, but nevertheless, I love it now. A bit of nautical, a bit of prep, perfect for work!
Twisted Neck Top -- I picked it up merely because it was cheap, but the effect of the "twist" around the neckline is really cute, and again, stripes! Sensing a pattern....no pun intended.
Bobble Bottle -- Thanks to my blogging buddy AlmostBritain for telling me about these! I will (hopefully) be able to keep h2o bottles out of my car by using this bad boy which filters the water for you. Woot woot! Found it by the check-out at ON, couldn't resist!
ULTA
*Thanks to my dear, dear friend in FL who got me an Ulta giftcard for Christmas. She just knows me, that one!!*
Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Zero -- Finally! I got one! I went to see if they had the NAKED liner set from the holidays, but alas, it was sold out. Bummer. Still, I knew I needed to add one of these bad boys to my arsenal and the one I picked up was the last Zero, so it was really fate calling out to me. Obviously.
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion -- Have used this before but was bone dry on my last bottle. I am slightly addicted to this stuff even though my skin problems are (usually) non-existent. This stuff works, though, for those "ahhhh" moments around the time of the month.
Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie -- (Another) finally! I have been looking for these everywhere and could never find them. I was entirely unsure of what color to get, but this raspberry hue looks rich and perfect for the winter months. I may have to review this bad boy, more to come perhaps.
Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Love Letter -- Could not pass this "color" up when I saw it; very newspaper nails but without the work/mess! Clearly anything that looks like it took time but didn't is a winner in my lazy-ass book.
Urban Decay Mini De-Slick Setting Spray -- Running low on my "All-Nighter" spray and thought I'd give "De-Slick" another chance. I could use some oil control as of late so hopefully this work better than the classic spray.
There you have it, a haul to start off the new year right! As a side note, you should definitely hit up your nearest VS for their semi-annual sale. Ridiculously good deals! I got eight items for $100....and let's be real, ladies, most bras there retail for at least $75 -- and who doesn't love a great sale?!
Until next time, I hope your new year is also starting off wonderfully............
I have a serious stripe fetish that I'm trying to break. About half my shirts are stripes and it needs to stop, but they're so damn cute!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you found a Bobble! I had no clue ON had them! I found them at Earth Fare. They're so cute!
I love Mario's stuff. That Drying Lotion is amazeness.
Those SH stickers are so cute! You gotta post a picture when you put them on.
Oh and let me know how you like the UD liner! 24/7 my ass, on my eyes. The stuff fades, creases, smudges, etc. on me and I can't figure out why!
So need to try those UD 24/7 liners at some point. I always hear such good things!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know if Deslick works as my oil sitch is outta control. lol
I love the new Sally Hansen design!! I picked up that one when I was at the drugstore too! Can't wait to try it

I have avoided shopping because I know it's crazy these first few days! Love that striped Old Navy shirt!
ReplyDeleteI need to try that drying lotion.
ReplyDeleteI've never been a big fan of stripes (I think the "horizontal stripes make you look wide" thing was genetically imprinted on my brain or something), but I love those shirts! The twisted neck detail is super cute.
I just bought the UD setting spray. I hope I like it!
