Kate Spade Square Stud Earrings



I love me some stud earrings! I haven't bought any jewelry in ages and I've been wanting to get a new pair of studs for a while now, so when I saw these babies on Piperlime.com I went for it!
These are the light pink ones, but they just look clear to me. They have tons of other colors on the site. They have turquoise, coral, bright pink, white, black, and pretty much any other color you can think of. 
I love these because you can wear them when you are dressing up a little bit or you can pair them down with jeans and sandals. It just adds a little bling to any outfit and I love them! Man I really would like to get some more colors now, the white ones and the turquoise ones were so calling out my name...




And this is so random but I found these Jolly rancher waxies for my Scentsy at Kmart the same day my earrings arrived, so I snapped a pic of them too. Of course I had to pick up some watermelon Jolly Rancher suckers to go along with them! :)



Bronzed Beach Goddess Summer Look

Fancy title huh? huh?!  This is me and my awkward pose trying to look like Marilyn Monroe (haha, yeah right!) Trust me, you'll be laughing too! Just wait until you see my awful attempt. Behind me is a  picture  I have up in my bathroom of Marilyn. This is a low- maintenance Summer  look that I wore today that is perfect for a trip to the beach or a hot summer day like today (it's going to be over 100  here in California). So I thought a Marilyn "Aphrodite beach series" pose would be appropriate  for the occasion. Because in Marilyn's words:
 " Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

 "So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful  thing and there's so much to smile about."    -Marilyn Monroe

Sonia Kashuk Fair and Square Quad #44

                       
Fair & Square
This is the old packaging, the new packaging is black & matte.
The packaging is very nice though, with magnetic closer and is sturdy and sleek.
I wondered into Target the other day looking for a Sonia Kashuk blush in the shade Sunset because it's a dupe for Mac's LE Ripe peach which I drool over everytime I see it mentioned on blogs/videos. The only one left was tampered with of course, doesn't that just piss you off!!?? This happens all the time, I can never buy the shade I want because it's opened. I don't get these people who think it's okay to open things in the store and decide to try it on. Anyways enough with my little rant..... I came upon an eye shadow quad called Fair and Square and it is so gorgeous! I am "unconditionally and irrevocably in love" just a Twilight quote ;)
This palette is very versatile and very high quality for the price of $13.69. Trust me, you won't regret your purchase. All of the shades are buttery smooth and blend like a dream. They also last pretty long. But some of the shades are not as pigmented as say Wet n wild shadows, but I like that. I also want to add that this brand is Not Tested On Animals. Shockingly I have never bought anything from the Sonia Kashuk line (Except for a swap with Sam)! I want to get the Textured Cocoa's quad next, because that is Beautyjunkie11's favorite. 


Clockwise from top left....


 First shade:             Champagne Glitter- This shade has the most glitter, but is very fine with very little fallout.
You may use this shade all over the lid, but I like to use it as a highlight on the inner corner and browbone.

Second shade:       Dark brown with  sheen. I like to use this in my outer corner or crease.
If you have darker skin than me you can use this shade all over your lid.

Third shade:     Light brown with sheen. This is my favorite shade to use all over the lid. It is gorgeous!
The perfect brown for me. :)

Fourth Shade:     Matte peachy nude with a little bit of sparkle bit is not noticeable when applied to the lid.
This color is beautiful all over the lid or is also a great transitional shade in the crease that is very subtle and natural looking.

Swatched in artificial light. From Left, nude, light brown, dark brown, and glitter.

Swatched in natural daylight. From left, Nude, light brown, dark brown, glitter.

HipHopCandy Haul!

Lately I've been obsessed with everything peach. I was on the hunt for a Soap&Glory balm , so I Googled peach lip balm and this site came up hh-candy.com. I saw that they had this Vanilla Peach body spray and ordered it right away. It smells amazing! All amazing reviews that everyone who purchased these body sprays loved them. I also saw that they have soap and lotion, so I'll be ordering those next.   For some odd reason I got so caught up with these body sprays that I forgot to add the vanilla peach lip balm to my basket and only ended up with 2 body sprays. I also ended up getting raspberry lemonade which is my favorite in the summer. These are a great deal for only $4 each and are 2 oz. bottles. They have so many other scents that I want to try now! And they sent their  business card and a cute little button along with it. How freaking cute are their logo and packaging?! Check out this site it's awesome! They have all kinds of nifty little things.

                                                               hh-candy.com

Vanilla Peach Body Spray
                           This scent is amazingly delicous! I want to eat it! The only way I can describe the scent is it smells like those peach gummy candies, you know the ones that are shaped like little rings? Mmmm....ok now I want to go get me some of those at the Sweet Factory!


Raspberry Lemonade Body Spray

This scent smells exactly like raspberry lemonade, not too sweet and not too sour smelling. Just the perfect yummy scent! It smells like summer! :) I want the shower gel!




Zoya Pixiedust Summer nail & gloss of the day

Photo: I just noticed that my lipgloss matches my nails!
Zoya Pixiedust Miranda and Revlon Pink Afterglow gloss

This picture should seriously be the header on my blog! Now tell me if this doesn't scream PinkSparklz?!

I bought this lip gloss at Ulta when they were having 40% off all Revlon and NYX. They were all out of everything that I wanted from NYX :( Boo.... Anyways, I've always wanted to try the Revlon glosses. I originally wanted Peach petal but of course that was all out too, so I picked this fun pink one and I am SO IN LOVE!  The shade is called Pink Afterglow and it looks amazing over any lipstick or beautiful on it's own too! Last week my PixieDust summer collection arrived in the mail and naturally I grabbed the pink one right away and put it on. This shade is called Miranda and I put Beatriz on my toes which is a bright orange and it  looks Amazing! Zoya sent me this polish of course and I'll be doing another post on all these polishes a.s.a.p!
That's all for now my beauties!  :) Chat with you all soon!
