Real vs. Steal: Christian Louboutin Bis Un Bout


Ever since I saw these pumps I knew I needed them in my life. Unfortunately for me a) the price tag is steep b) they're sold out and the new versions they make sell out quick as well.
Here they are on some celebs:

I was checking out Nordstrom's newest shoe arrivals online and my eyes immediately spotted these babies

I ordered them on Saturday & received them in the mail today. They fit true to size and are comfy(I haven't walked that much in them yet). They are definitely a steal at $88.95 and for those of you that have ebates you can get some cash back if you purchase through ebates. I'm OBSESSED with these shoes and can't wait to wear them out! Buy here.

Drugstore Finds

I'm excited to show you guys products I've bought this month and am really enjoying.



The first products are Nivea lip butters. I had heard about them on blogs since they weren't released in the U.S. until the new year and knew I wanted to get my hands on them. One day I was combing through instagram and someone posted a picture of them so I immediately rushed to my nearest CVS stores, but to my dismay they weren't out near me yet. A week later I went back and there they were just waiting for me on a display by the registers. I picked two up: vanilla & macadamia kiss and raspberry rose kiss. They smell yummy and really feel like butter. The packaging is nice since it's slim so you can easily bring one anywhere you go and the best part for me is that they don't make my lips peel which most lip products do. For $2.50 I think they are definitely worth the price. From what I know they are only available at CVS stores at the moment so get your fast (the displays only hold 4 of each flavor).

Original // Vanilla & Macadamia // Caramel Cream // Raspberry Rose



The second products are Clear hair products. I was hesitant to try this line out because it was being heavily advertised and all I associated the product with was Heidi Klum. I'm normally a tresemme girl, but my shampoo had run out and I needed to give my hair a break from using the same shampoo. I picked out the strong lengths shampoo and the total care conditioner. I'm so happy I decided to switch it up not only do these products smell great they really give good results. The smell of the shampoo lasts for a good amount of hours and my hair feels great. Next I'm going to try the damage & color repair formula and the treatments since I've heard good reviews about them.

Strong Lengths Nourishing Shampoo // Damage & Color Repair Nourishing Shampoo // Damage & Color Repair Nourishing Conditioner // Total Care Nourishing Conditioner

Those were my latest drug store finds hopefully you'll try them and like them as well :)

Latest Obsession: Tangle Teezer

I have long hair and it's inevitable that I get tangles/knots. I was looking at Youtube and girls such as Michele1218 and HRH Collection were raving about this item. I've always used a wide tooth comb to comb through my hair after showering which is better than using a normal brush, but it still hurts to get out tangles. It took me awhile to finally head into Sally's and just pick up a tangle teezer, but I'm so glad I did. It is seriously the best comb i've ever used. There isn't any pulling, it's so easy to clean, and it comes in pink! Buy here: Tangle Teezer Brush Original - Professional Detangling Hairbrush Black

Uniqlo Leggings Pants

I've never been a fan of Uniqlo, but once opened up in a mall near me and I keep reading about their leggings I decided to check out what the fuss was all about. First I tried on the easy knit leggings pants.The price is great at $19.90 and there were tons of colors to choose from, but the fit for me wasn't good. They were too baggy around the knees and just weren't flattering.
Next I tried the ponte leggings pants. These were a winner. The fit is good and the best part is they're dupes for the J.Crew pixi pants! The waist band is exactly the same and the style of the pant is the same except that the Uniqlo version doesnt have a zipper in the back, has back pockets, and also has a hem going down the front of the pants. With the price tag being only $29.90 compared to the $88 price tag of the J.Crew pants I would definitely grabbed a black pair as well as a dark grey pair.
