Haul!!

So, this eyeshadow mini palette is from Benefit Cosmetics. The colors are highly pigmented and they are all shimmers. It's small enough to keep in your purse for touch ups throughout the day! It was about $10 and you can pick this up from Macy's or Benefitcosmetics.com!



I got this Sally Hanson nail polish in Brisk Blue. You can pick this up at your local drugstore. I'm always in a hurry when I paint my nails so, I love that this drys in like 60 seconds! Also, when I saw the blue it caught my eye! It's such a pretty color for spring and summer. I'm kind of upset I didn't pick up some more! This nail polish would look so cute as a pop of color in a neutral colored outfit! I love it!

So, I bought Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips in Waiki strip. This has got to be one of my favorite bronzers EVER! I have been throught 3-4 of these! i've been using this as my blush for years! I can't even express in words how much I love this stuff! It is so shimmery and it makes you look like you spent the day in the sun and achieved an amazing tan! It makes your cheek bones stand out like crazy and everytime I wear it I get complimented! You can pick this up at your local drugstore for around $14. It also comes in a few other shades.

I went to M.A.C because I needed to find an eye shadow to match a dress I bought for a party. So, I came out with Beautiful Iris! It's so pretty! It's a Veluxe pearl and it's a sheen lavender. I love the color purple and this shadow definitely caught my eye! Especially for brown eyed girls! But, this color would look great on everyone! In the picture below it looks kind of like a periwinkle blue...but it is definitely purple!




Here are a few other things I picked up and they were all around $5. First, is a lipstick from REVLON. It's a shimmery pink, a great color for spring! I got Great Lash clear mascara which you can pick it up from your local drugstore. I also got a glazewear lip gloss from avon and you can get it from avon.com.

This silver star necklace is from AVON. Stars are so cute! (Denise's Fave) It is so pretty and it sparkles. It is a definite eye catcher! It's around $15 and you can find this necklace in an AVON catalog or on AVON.com


This cute tee is from the brand Richsoil! Such an amazing clothing line! You can check out more tee's and tops like this @ Richsoilstore.com This shirt was given to me as a gift but, i'm assuming it was some where around $25.



This racer back top was from the line RICHSOIL, too. It is a dark teal and has the words "Key to my Heart" on it. Racerback tops are so great for the spring and summer season! you can even dress this top up with some leggings, a leather jacket and some boots! I love this top!



I bought this cute racer back loose fit top and Forever21 for $14.80. It features the wonderful HELLO KITTY! (Vanessa's fave)This is great to pair up with a pair of denim shorts and a colorful head band. Add some sunglasses and some strappy sandals and you're ready for a day in the sun!

Mac Pigment Samples


So I heard about this website called the beauty sampler and basically they sell LEGIT MAC pigment samples, MAC glitter samples etc. They are 1/4 of a tsp. and they come in little plastic containers with the name of the pigment on the bottom. The MAC pigment samples are $2.49 each so, I picked out Grape, Pink Pearl, Shimmertime, and Museum Bronze. Here are some swatches and more pics...

So, the first is Grape and as much as I love the color purple it's not my favorite. It is definitely a great color but it's not something i would wear everyday and that's the only reason it's not my favorite. The next is Pink Pearl and this pigment is really great for those girly girls out there. It actually shimmers blue-ish which is really different but I love it. Next is Shimmertime (One of my favorites) and it's a great highlight. Highlights are put on the brow bone and inner tear ducts of the eye. It makes your eyes POP and gives that little twinkle in your eye. Now, for Museum Bronze I wasn't really THAT excited. I wanted a brown because that's like the ultimate neutral color that I can wear often and looking at the color in the container made it look really gross. But, once I sampled it I was so pleased with the outcome of it! I loved it! It really is an amazing pigment and i'm so happy i got it!

Forever 21 and more Haul



So, first I picked out this romper and I am absolutely in love with it! It's so cute to throw over a bathing suit or you can wear some cute sandals and jewelery and take it to the mall! This was $14.90 at forever21!







I got this dress in two colors. The first is a coral and the other is a medium grey with white stripes. The dressese were $14.90 each. They both came with this brown belt but I bought a white belt to go with the grey dress and it was $3.50 at forever21 as well. Coral is such a great color for spring! I can't wait to wear both of these dresses! With some cute brown wedges or some flat white strappy sandals! I'm so happy the weather has been warm these past few days!






This romper is sooo adorable! It's a dark purple with black and gold round little buttons. It's is cinched at the waist but it would look so cute with a black belt! You can definitely dress this up with some black pumps and some gold bangles. The material is so silky. 100% rayon. I can't wait to wear this outfit! It also came in a royal blue and black too. This romper was $14.50 @ Forever21!



Next I bought these 3 scarfs. I have been so into scarfs lately! they are sooo cute! The first one (purple to the left) was from a store called G-stage in my outdoor mall. It's by Disneyland! The seconds one (cream with purple flowers center) was from charlotte russe. Teh third one (cream with yellow flowers left) was from wet seal. They all were between $8-$12. I've been wearing all of them lately and i love the flowery prints thay they all have on them. PERFECT for spring!







So, I hope you guys liked this quick haul! I'll hopefully be shopping again soon! I'll be doing a couple of makeup reviews soon as well! So keep an eye out for those!

Lush haul and review

I went to Lush awhile back for a party they had going on and got a few things I've been wanting to try.

I got Godmother soap. The smell of this is AMAZING! In the store I wasn't crazy about it, but i think it was because i had been sniffing everything else inside the store and it was all mixed up in my nose. When I got home I couldn't put it down! it smells sooo amazing! The only thing is when I used a piece in the shower, it kind of dried out my skin? it didn't leave me feeling soft. The lather is pretty good and when i get out of the shower i still smell like it so thats a big plus:) I would probably re purchase this though, because the smell is just THAT good!

Next thing I got was the Think Pink Bath Bomb. This smells great too! It turned my bath water HOT PINK! it was amazing! the little flowers fall off in the water but they melt after a while. I would definitely re-purchase this item! It was about $6.

The next thing I bought was the MMM Melting Marshmellow Moment bath melt....This is one of the most amazing smelling things i have ever bought at LUSH EVER!! The only downfall about this one is that it is around $8!! the water was definitely milky and creamy and it smelled delicious! I would maybe re-purchase this on a special occasion!

This is the Ex-factor bath bomb. This also smells amazing! my bath water turned blue and unfortunately this was a limited edition bath bomb for Valentines Day. I would definietlye re-purchase this item! It was about $6.

The Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar was my favortie purchase so far at LUSH! It smells like strawberry fields! ITs so amazing! The bubbles that HALF of this bubble bar made were amazing! and it turned my bath water bright red! Unfortunetly this bubble bar was also a limited edition item for valentines day and when I went back to get 2 or 3 more they were all sold out! I was heartbroken! I am looking forward to next february! I hope the re-sell this item!! I'm in love!

This is the Happy Birthday Bubble Bar. I got this for free for being one of the first 50 to RSVP to the Lush party. I wasn't in love with the smell. It kind of smelled like orange cleaner and laundry detergent. I didn't love it but it was okay. It made tons of bubbles so i can't say it was horrible. But because of the smell i probably wouldn't repurchase. I think that this is being sold for a little over $6. This is also a retro product!




I hope you guys enjoy this haul review! I'm actually going to Lush tomorrow! They are having another party for St. Patrick's day and if you wear plaid or green you get a "pot of gold" and I am VERY curious what that is! i'm excited! Expect another Haul and review soon!

Love, The Twins<3
