Westminster Mall Haul


So, when I got my Seventeen magazine in the mail, there was an ad for a free v-neck tee from Aeropostle! When I went to the store they automatically pointed me in the direction of the free v-necks. The colors that they had were navy blue, pink, white, light blue, tye-die warm colors, tye-die cool colors, and a couple others. I, of course, picked pink! The material is a little thin and see-thru. You would need to wear a tank top under. Originally it's around $18 so, it's great to get it for free!

We went to Wetseal and got this grey racerback top. It has a purple and metallic silver flower design on it. It's super cute for spring! Tuck it into a skirt or wear it with a pair of jeans. This top was around $14.

There was a new store in the mall, I don't remember the name but it was like Tokyo something. Anyways they have all this stuff inside that you would find in Japan and I came across this Hello Kitty Backpack(LOVE). They have the same ones at Hot Topic for around $25 and I bought this one for around $15! The one at Hot Topic kept eying me but, I didn't want to spend the money on it because there is barely any storage space inside to fit ANYTHING! So, when I saw it in this store for cheaper I had to get it! Since I have a pass to Disneyland, I like to just carry like a water bottle, some money, my pass, and a little snack. So this is perfect!

This lotion is my all time favorite lotion! It is SO moisturizing! It has Monoi oil in it, which makes it so moisturizing and it lasts! I love it. But to top it all off, it smells amazing! It is so heavenly! Everytime I wear it I get complimented on the smell. If you are into that island smell (coconut and tiare flowers) then this is for you! for this 2 fl oz. bottle it was $6. But, you can get a large one for $15. I like the small one to carry in my purse.

So, I went into Victoria's Secret and saw this airbrush instant bronzer. As much as I love laying out, I know that it is REALLY bad for me! So, I'm trying to step back a little from it. I thought this would be great to tryout. I'll do a review soon! You can find this at Victoria's Secret for $12.


So, I picked up these cute flower flats for about $16 at a store called Steppin' Out in the mall. The store has such a wide selection of shoes, sandals, boots, and heels. I thought that they were so perfect for spring! Pair these flats with a cute skirt and a flowery cardigan! I love spring style!

Spring flowers makeup tutorial

So, for this look we'll be using the Coastal scents 88 shimmer palette and M.A.C's Beautiful Iris! You can buy the 88 shimmer palette at CoastalScents.com for about $20 which is a great deal! You can find Beautiful Iris at your local M.A.C counter or @ maccosmetics.com for $14.50. I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial! Leave your feedback!




First, you're gonna apply a medium pink to the whole lid of the eye. We used the top color on the fourth from the last column in the Ultra shimmer Palette from Coastal scents. To apply this you're going to want to use a basic eyeshadow brush such as a 239 from M.A.C.


Next, use a pastel purple for the outer corner into the crease. We used Beautiful Iris by M.A.C. You want to use a fluffy blending brush to achieve this look. Try M.A.C's 224 or 226.


Next, you're going to apply the pastel purple to the outer bottom lash line and a lighter pink to the inner tear duct and into the purple. For the pink we used the 2nd row 5th column pink from the Coastal Scents. You want to use a flat angled eyeliner brush such as M.A.C's 266.

To finish up the look, apply a liquid liner and add mascara. Hope you guys enjoyed this look! If you have any request comment below and leave feedback!

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.

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!

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
