OOTD~ Maroon Sweater

Hi! Today I have another OOTD to give you some fashion inspiration. This is probably my last winter outfit for awhile, since it is already at least 70 degrees in California. 
Just getting photo-bombed by my dog, Sneakers

 I am wearing this thin maroon sweater, midnight-black jeans, and chocolate UGGS. This sweater is one of my favorites because I have been into the color maroon lately, and comfy sweaters are always a plus. I have minimal jewelry on, just [fake] diamond stud earrings. 
This outfit is perfect for a cooler day. It is a great casual day transition from winter to spring.  

Thanks for reading!

Huge Try-On Haul

Hi! Long time no blog, but don't worry I'm back now(:

Today I have a huge collective haul from Tilly's, Sephora, Ulta, Aeropostale and more.
So let's get started: 

Tilly's is one of my favorite stores and I got the most stuff from here. I was on the hunt for some spring and summer clothes [aka shorts]. 
Speaking of shorts, I got a pair of bright aqua blue shorts [I also got these in maroon and white]. These are the perfect length not so short that my butt is hanging out [ladies that is not cute] and not down to my knees. 
Another thing thing I bought was this shirt. This one is just plain black and crochet at the top with 2 tassels hanging down.  
I guess I was feeling a Coachella vibe that day cause I bought another boho tank top. This tank top is black with string straps that tie in the center with 2 tassels. There is a cut down the center [ I know scandalous... jk] surrounded by an Aztec kind of print.
I also got 2 packs of 5 rings. One pack has metal and jeweled rings and the other has brass and pops of color on the rings. I kinda love wearing rings everyday because I feel like they complete most outfits.
 
The last thing I got was a pair of sandals. Every year I get at least new one pair of sandals, and I figured I might as well get them before they get picked over. These are super cute plain, black strappy sandals. 
I got a simple, short black cardigan from Old Navy. Basic cardigans are hard to find and I had been on the lookout for a black one for awhile now. This one stops right where your jeans start and goes with a ton of shirts. 

I also got another pair of shorts [above^] froAeropostale. These are just your basic, plain denim shorts, which are my favorite type.

Next, I went to Target. I like Target's clothes, but never really get any from there. This time I found a plain, black maxi skirt, so I can finally get on the maxi trend (yay). 
So from Sephora I got the Tarte brow gel in the shade taupe. I decided to try this brow gel since I have some unruly brows. Let me know of any good tinted brow held in the comments below. I also got a pair of tweezers because they were on sale [and I thought I lost mine].

I am really excited for this next item. After wanting something for LUSH for so long I finally got something! I bought a bath bomb. Even though I am not the hugest bath fan, I had heard so many good things about their bath bombs [my friends had nothing bad to say] I decided to try one. I bought the Avobath bathbomb and it smells sooooo good. It is super fragrant and smells like a sweet avocado candy. 

Another beauty product I bought was the NYX bronzer from Ulta. This is a matte bronzer and it is the shade light.
American Eagle had their nail polish on clearance so I picked up 2 bottles. One color is a blue-green sparkly color and the other is a super dark purple.

Lets Go Through my Trash #1

Hi! So today I have a post where I am going to show you what products I have finished and review them. AKA Empties, or where I show you my trash. 


Dove Deodorant- I love this deodorant, it keeps me smelling good/dry all day. Even though I personally am not a huge fan of this scent. I recently have not been able to use scented deodorant because of my allergies, but if I didn't have my allergies I would buy this again.

Repurchase- Yes






Cocoa Butter Chapstick- This is my absolute favorite chapstick. I'm not even joking I have bought probably about 5+ of these. I have sensitive lips that can get really dry in the winter, but this product prevents them from cracking. This chapstick does not irritate my lips and I use this every night to help replenish my lips. 
Repurchase- Yes




EOS Everyday Hand Cream- Ok so first let me say that I cannot stand the feeling of lotion, especially on my hands. This lotion is very light and not greasy or gross feeling so I can actually wear it during the day. I just use this during the day and can stick it in my backpack to use throughout the day. The smell is a very light fresh smell, which is not my favorite but for only $2 you cannot loose. 
Repurchase- Yes


Tea Tree Face Mask- This is an acne fighting face mask that I use once a week. I really like it because it only takes 10 minutes and helps clear up my skin. Also, my skin feels nice and soft and refreshed after I use this.                     Repurchase: Yes
Daily Face Moisturizer- This used to be my daily moisturizer (I use a different one now because my skin got dry). This is a great light-weight, daily moisturizer with SPF. The only con with this is that sometimes it leaves little white things on your face (if that makes any sense lol).               Repurchase- Yes
Wonder Waves Spray- This is a spray you spray onto wet hair and it is supposed to make your hair curl more and make the curls look better/ more defined. If you have curly hair(like me) you need this product because it is a lifesaver. The one in the photo is not empty cause I accidentally threw away the bottle lol. I have curly hair and this product makes my curls structured and gives them a little more curl.
Repurchase: Yes 





It's a 10 Miracle Leave in Product- This is probably my 3rd one of these that I have gone through. I love this product. It gets out any/all tangles, smells good, and is just wonderful (even though it is a little expensive). Here is my in-depth review on this product.
Repurchase- Yes







Thanks for reading!
