4th of July weekend !!!

I got really excited today at my local Macy's! This summer I seem to be on a long Racerback Maxi Dresses kick. I am in love with them and as I have been on my weight loss journey 35lbs loss and counting lol I have been able to wear these through my journey. Allowing me to not have to keep buying clothes. 

The funny thing is I saw this dress months ago they had about five different colors in the same style, but the blue one caught my eye. At the time it was $38. So when I was thinking ok I want Maxi Dress for a BBQ this weekend I decided to go to Macy's and they had 1 of the 5 diff colors left and it was the blue style, it was in my size, and it was on sale for not $28 which I saw online, but for $15 in store. I was totally excited. The last one of the style left in the store and it was perfect for me ... lol I am probably the only person who finds this amazing! lol

Then I saw this cute brown Maxi Dress it also came in Grey. I loved both colors and the detail around the neck are, but I was limiting myself to just 1 dress.... It was so hard!!! lol



Soooo which dress do you think I bought???


side note --- off day from work means no makeup I like to give my face a break ... don't judge lol

Clinique Illuminating Bronzer is great for a subtle dewy look to the skin it is also great if you mix a pearl size amount with your foundation for a hint of bronze

Bare Minerlas Faux Tan is great if you want a no shimmer matte bronzer ... great for adding depth and serious contour to your face

Milani Baked Bronzer is a great drug store brand I have heard a lot of people compare them to the MAC Gold Deposit. I would only say that if you Milani Bronzer has a lot of gold veining in it other than that it reminds me of BE Faux Tan with gold shimner

MAC Gold Deposit I love especially on my clients who have deeper skin. There is a lot of gold veining in it so you can get an equal amount of bronzer and gold. A little goes a long way!

MAC Refinded Gold I love to use of my more fair skin clients. It's infused with gold glitter so its just a beauty to work with! It's subtle but can still pack a punch. this is another a little goes a long way product

Bath and Body Works is having another sale! lol

My Story:

After my first little splurge at BBW I loved Japanese Cherry Blossom and wanted my room and well apartment to smell like it! I looked online and saw they had one of my fav body fragrances for a home fragrance also. Sooooo before work I made a trip into the smell good store and well they had a 4 for $20 or 6 for $24. Well you can see which deal I went for. lol

I purchased:
2 Nightlight Wallflowers
2 Japanese Cherry Blossom
Moonlight Path
Sandalwood Vanilla refills.

I never realized how many fragrances BBW really had. I choose these fragrances because I wanted more of a perfume smell in my appartment not a sweet smell. The only drawback I have to my purchase is even though I thought the nightlight idea would be cool I didn't realize it wasn't a motion detection light. Meaning the light stays on all day not really caring for that to much!

Bath & Body Works - Sale

Bath & Body Works is having another huge sale! I love to get a few things. I am a fragrance person but I don't think like my coworkers or like most women! lol They always come back to our store with BAGS full of product. I don't blame them though you can get items that are normally $10 for $2. Why not stock up ... Well I finally made my to the store of course the one fragrance I wanted for $2 was sold out .... I couldn't get mad though it is there most popular scent! lol But they did have a 3 for $10 of their Signature Collection. I picked up the Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Spray & Body Lotion and a Secret Wonderland Body Lotion ... and a 2oz size of Coconut Passionfruit Body Lotion. I paid $11 and some change! I have a feeling I may be back in there tomorrow. If I get some more things I will be sure to let you all know.

My Story: lol

Ok soooo as I was walking in WalMart I remembered I needed some more contact solution. When I got to the Isle I saw BioTrue and remembered I wanted to try it. Hey the commercials look nice and the price point was definitely nice! I believe I paid around $4 for a 4oz. bottle. It was a great size to be able to test the product out. Well after a week of using the product I can absolutely say I love it. I have been wearing contacts for 12 years and have tried several different brands. With this product my eyes feel refreshed when I put my contacts on, my eyes don't get dry after a long day anymore, and mos definitely a plus is the protein that used to build up on them isn't there anymore! Score!!! I love this product!!! Definitely will be repurchasing! I'm a packaging girl but I definitely don't buy because of packaging, however I do like the packaging.
