Haul! 6/28

So I went out to the mall with my friend Sarah to catch up and of course my wallet literally just opened and out went some money....

First stop was Lord and Taylor's, where we pretty much looked at everything. I was drawn to this 5 shelved little thing full of Ahava. I got a facial moisturizer from them in a Birchbox and I really like it. I also was intrigued because it is a brand that bases all of its products from the Dead Sea. It takes ingredients you can find in the Dead Sea and infuses them into the products. They are also paraben free and allergy tested (great for someone sensitive like me).

I picked up this starter kit for $15! Such a cute little travel bag. It has a Dead Sea Water Mineral Body Lotion, a Time To Clear All In One Toning Cleanser and a Time to Hydrate Essential Day Moisturizer for normal to dry skin. Then I bought one of their body lotions in Honeysuckle and Lavender :)

Since I bought two items I was given a free gift! This is one hell of a free gift too.....it is a bag designed exclusively for Ahava by none other than REBECCA MINKOFF!! Did you fangirl inside a little? Yea so did I!

How cute!

So next we hit Target, which was great because I actually had to go buy a new hamper. I'm adding a desk to my room soon so I wanted a hamper that was higher, rather than wider. You can see Charlie and his devil eyes. It's probably because my dad and I thought it'd be funny to stick Charlie in the hamper...whoops!

I also wanted to pick up some more face towels, and I had liked the Yes to Blueberry face towels so much I thought I'd try cucumber!

Finally, we made a last minute stop in Bath and Body Works who was having their massive sale. I bought a Pink Tulip candle for four dollars and then I bought what I thought was hand sanitizer in Wild Honeysuckle...until I got home and showed my mom and realized it was hand soap. Oh wells!

Hope you enjoyed!

Haul/Review

Recently, I needed to go get some things for Spring/Summer. A lot of my old shorts and bras needed to be tossed out so I bought a bunch of stuff. I mostly got everything from Aerie but I'm including some random items I bought and some shoes! So from Aerie, I bought 4 bras, but that's all ya really need to know ;) I also got 5 pairs of shorts (all different colors)

Then I ended up buying some t-shirts. They are so unbelievably comfy and I love the colors. I already know I'll be getting some more colors soon. What I like is they match the shorts, but I wouldn't go monochromatic with them. I like mixing colors.

I also picked up two plain tube tops in green and black, and then a nicer strapless top.

Then I ended up going to Target and JCPenney's and got some things from there. From Target I picked up an Eos shave cream in Pomegranate-Raspberry. I also recently picked up a lip balm from Eos in Summer Fruit, I'm addicted! The Essie nail polish were calling my name and I got two blues - Beach Bum Blue and Aruba Blue. I love these two colors!

 I did have one major regret from Target, and it was a product I thought I was going to really enjoy. I tried the Garnier BB Cream in Medium/Deep. While I am lighter, I had read reviews that lighter girls were using it to get color and it worked well. I don't know what they were doing, but it was like 5 shades too dark for me, so it immediately came off. However, in the 1 minute I had it on my skin, I developed a terrible allergic reaction to it. So bad that I tried it on Monday of this week and now on Friday evening, I still have the itching and hives. Needless to say, that is being returned and never bought again.

Finally, for shoes :) I got three pairs from JCPenney's, a pair of slip on shoes and two pairs of sandals. In total they cost $85 which is actually a great deal considering how expensive some shoes can be.

 So that's my haul/review for now, I am really happy (for the most part) with what I got, and I look forward to trying it all out :)
