Shopping cart obsessions

Hello all,


So I took my car to the Auto Shop and got the quote yesterday, $1477.73. Yes. That is real life. So I am paying $500 and luckily my parents are paying the rest. This debt, however, will put quite the damper on my summer shopping. I am dying to make it out to Marshalls and TJ Maxx due to my friend Carly's recent splurge on about 500 shirts for like $100. But I can't, since I have no vehicle, which is a constant reminder that I owe my parents $500 and need to save!!!


I'm sure I would have satisfied my craving for Marshalls/TJ Maxx had they had an online shop. BECAUSE, my recent obsession, is a little silly. I should explain the sites I'm doing this for, they're cosmetic stores in the UK. Barry M and Eyeko are some of my favorites, the makeup is SO cute and new. So, my strategy, has been selecting an obscure amount of products, adding them to my shopping cart, pressing "Check out" and leaving it up on my screen to pretend I somehow have checked out and the products will be arriving at my front door soon. This is even more relevant because all of their prices are in pounds, so I don't even know the conversions anyway.


Anyway, I signed up to be an Eyeko Ambassador. So buy some things from their site, and give me commission. Just put in my code for a free gift!




Thanks :) xox

Pretty things

So once again Sephora.com has sucked me in with their emails promising beautiful free products.. with purchase. And once again, they have sucked me in to spend over $50 so I get free shipping. Did I think I needed make up today? Well no. (I did decide to pick up two more days of babysitting to make up for 2/3 of my purchases today, but still, ugh.) But I did just get a new package of 8 brushes from CVS the other day (necessary again) so I can try and actually be good at make up and do cool things.

Here's what they enticed me with:














How cute right? I ended up buying these two things:




I really am in love with both of these things, but I specifically love any lip gloss package I can get my hold on that has Bare Escentuals Buxom lip gloss in it. OB-SESSED.


But I'll end my pretty things post with this beautiful piece that I am DYING for. I saw this advertised on Chictopia.com a while ago and died a little inside when I saw the price on Sephora.com. $54 But....It's. So. Beautiful. And Alice in Wonderland! What could be better? I entered a contest on Youtube for it. GOOD LUCK TO ME so I can have pretty eyes for months :) :)














Ta Ta for now! xo
