my everyday brushes
1) MAC 217 for blending eyeshadow
2) bare minerals eyeshadow brush
3) target angled eyeliner brush
4) target concealer brush
5) Sephora #55 for foundation
6) MAC 187 for blush
7) MAC 138 for contouring and highlighting
I also use a random brush my mom got in a Lancome gift with purchase set for putting a light color in the inner corners of my eyes (I do that everyday even though I don't wear a lid color every day) and an essence of beauty powder brush from CVS for bronzer.

sephora x hello kitty
Sephora recently launched a Hello Kitty line and of course I had to pick up something.

I got the brush set. There weren't any samples so I couldn't see or feel the brushes before I bought them. I have to say I'm disappointed with the quality of the brushes. The picture makes the brushes look big, but in actuality they're just travel size. I haven't use the brushes yet, but just by feeling them they feel up to par with the brushes you can purchase at target or anywhere. Regardless, I'm still happy I bought the set because the container that the brushes come in is just too cute! It would look great on any vanity and the quality of the case is good. If the set was over $55 I probably would have passed on it, but $49 wasn't bad. The mirrored look is a look I personally like and in my opinion it does with more things than the usual white colored Hello Kitty so snag one at your local Sephora or on their website.

aritzia
Everytime I've gone to Short Hills Mall I always pass by the store Aritzia, but never went in. The other day I went in and Aritzia is now my favorite store. It's everything that I would wear from casual lazy wear, to girly, chic, rocker, preppy, every look that I like to wear. The best thing about the store is that they carry size 23 ! Usually I wear size 24, but for some styles of pants I need a 23 and not many stores carry that size. I tried on so many things and wanted to get everything as usual, but instead I just settled for two pairs of pants.
1) J Brand Agnes in Onyx Twill (original price $218-$231; sale price $99)

Originally I was leaning towards another pair of Houlihans, but these fit better. I love the Houlihans, but the size 24 is a little loose since they are cargos. These however fit like a glove! Tip: J Brand ankle length pants are the perfect length pants for shorties
2) Wilfred Drapey Harem Pant in Raven (original price $110; sale price $70)

I was debating the tan color or raven. I ended up buying Raven since I thought it would be more versatile. It's not black it's more like a taupe dark gray. I've been searching for a pair of harem pants that aren't too long on me and that don't make my butt look saggy and these are perfect. The fit is great and the material is so soft. Many harem pants tend to look like sweat pants, but not these.

patent & bows



I saw these Prada flats and just had to have them; they're SO CUTE! The best thing about them is that they make your feet look small and they're super comfy. I have wide feet and have a hard time finding flats these are perfect. Run don't walk to your nearest Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman Marcus, or Prada store and snatch them up! I actually went down half a size so I would recommend getting TTS or half a size down.

fix for dry winter skin

Laura Mercier's almond coconut scented body creme smells amazing and is super moisturizing. I love that it is creamy, but not so thick and the best part is the scent lasts all day long! Honestly I am not a fan of anything coconut, but this scent is AMAZING. I highly recommend this set or just try any one of the products separately it won't disappoint.
