I need to stop spending money.

Happy Friday everyone! A couple things I wanted to share with you today. First off, I was really bad and spent some money on my credit card at Sephora yesterday. Shame on me. From now on I'm going on a shopping ban. Period. End of discussion. But...I got some pretty sweet stuff.

I have a secret girl crush on Gwen Stefani, and I've been wanting to try one of her Harajuku Lovers fragrances. The one I picked is Wicked Style Music. After purchasing, I looked it up on Sephora.com

Notes: Juicy Apple, Jasmine, Swirling Cedar-wood.
Style: Cute. Woody. Floral.

This is totally my type. It's not overly floral; it really has the right balance of woody too.
Check her out. She's too cute.




Here's everything else I got.







I really needed a new blush and Two Faced Full Bloom in Sweet Pink was calling out to me. It goes on really nicely, and I was surprised at the glow it gave me. Also, I've heard so many wonderful things about Benefit Cosmetics from all you lovely bloggers out there so I picked up this $10 goodie which came with the That Gal face brightening primer, the PORE fessional, and the Stay Don't Stray concealer and eye primer. And I just tried them all this morning, and so far so good. The face brightening primer is seriously a hit. I cannot believe how much brighter it made my skin look. I'm hooked. :P I haven't tried the eyeliner yet, I can only hope my purchase was well spent. The free samples they gave me were Bamboo Volume Shampoo, Conditioner, and Plumping Strand Expand, and also perfume sample of Lolita Lempicka: Si Lolita. I honestly can't wait to try the shampoo. My hair is dreadfully thin and fine and I wish I had thick hair. :(.

I used the blush this morning, my skin looks slightly darker in my bathroom because of the lighting.


I finally got the Shabby Apple necklace in the mail that I won. It's so pretty. It doesn't bother my neck as much because of the length and also because its a pendant. Here are some crappy pictures. I seriously can't wait to get a new camera.






Unfortunately, the top I'm wearing isn't that color. It photographs horribly, and is actually a deep violet instead of the bluish indigo its appearing as.

Anyways, I know this may sound silly, but I wanted to thank all of you bloggers out there who have seriously awesome blogs and have helped me dive into the world of skincare and cosmetics. I'm a creature of habit, and I never used to experiment or try new products. It feels good to try new things. ;)

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Benefit's primer is amazing right? I had it in this little twist tube but it ran out so quickly. I definitely need to investigate getting some more :)

Jessica, congratulations on your win. That pendant looks amazing on you. Girl, you can go crazy in Sephora. It is so easy to do. In the stores and online. But you didn't buy anything frivolous. I'm just watching what I spend on. Deep sales in January! LOL
