Last week I was sent a fun pre-colored eyeshadow applicator kit from Eye Majic; they make applying layered eyeshadow quick and easy. The kit ($19.95) included 2 of the pre-colored applicators, one eye liner, one mascara, a lip gloss, a lip liner and a built-in mirror. The kit comes in a cute little travel case that's easy to throw into your purse. They also sell a pack of 16 applicators (19.95) or you can buy single applications in sets of 2, 5 or 10. From a press release:
For the purpose of this post I only used the eyeshadow applicator along with the rest of my usual makeup. All it takes is 3 simple steps: Apply (hold for 2-4 seconds,) Slide and Remove! You can also use the other side of the applicator to blend the shadow and make it look more natural. It does take a little practice to get a clean look. As you can see, in the third photo my left eye is a bit messy because it was my first try, then my right eye is much cleaner.
And the finished product after a bit of cleanup with makeup remover and a Q-tip! By the looks of the applicator it looks like I can possibly get a second use out of them, which is always a good thing. Overall this is a really great product and I would definitely recommend it! You just have to be careful and practice to get the perfect effect.
*I received this product for free for the purpose of this review and received no monetary compensation, my opinions are my own.

Behold, my outfit for my friend's graduation party! It was a lot of fun, although very cold! It was supposed to be in the 70s, but it definitely was not. At one point we got into a conversation with one of his Aunt's about my weird eating habits (I am very picky) and my social phobia. She was very intrigued, ha ha. I miss seeing them (the boys and their parents) all the time, we used to have so much fun. But now all us children are grownup (and the boys live in NYC and Boston) so we don't see each other that much. Depressing!

Happy almost weekend! This week was pretty normal, except yesterday I went to a Birchbox event for the launch of Caudalie Divine Legs. It's a new tinted body lotion to give legs a touch of sun without the use of a self-tanner. When we first arrived one of the employees showed us how it worked on our arms - look at the difference! Then we got our other arm and legs done, such a fun product. We also got to try the Divine Oil, Crushed Cabernet Scrub and Beauty Elixir. I ended up buying a Caudalie Favorites pack that included the Divine Oil, Beauty Elixir, Lip Conditioner, Hand & Nail Cream and Makeup Remover. I can't wait to try it all out!
This weekend I'll be heading to a graduation party for one of my oldest friends. He is the son of my parents best friends so I've known him since he was born (I'm only 3 years older than him though, ha ha.) We haven't seen them in a while so it should be fun, although there will be a lot of people so I'll be nervous.

On Tuesday while I was watching Star Trek I decided to do a sweep of Zara's site to see if anything caught my eye. (I know...Star Trek + Zara don't really mix, but what can I say, I'm a lover of many things.) Unfortunately a TON of pieces called my name. I put everything I liked in my cart, just for fun, and the total came to $1,264.40 for 18 items. HAH. Below is a selection of some of the pieces I would love to add to my closet, perhaps I'll pick up a couple (if I do I might have to return the black dress I bought at Lord & Taylor this weekend.) On a side note, I am OBSESSED with this dress, too bad it sold out...better keep an eye out or check out a store when I'm in NYC for work.

As I've mentioned a couple times in the past few posts, my brother graduated from college on Sunday. Here's what I wore for the ceremony. It's my first time going tightless this year (unless you count wearing sheer pantyhose on Easter as tightless.) I love this new dress from Lord & Taylor. Giraffe print? Yes, please!

I've been pretty good about shopping lately and haven't bought much but I went a little crazy this weekend. On Saturday I headed to Lord & Taylor with my mom because we had a 20% off coupon AND $20 off of a $40 purchase. My mom didn't find anything so I was able to use her $20 off coupon, yay!
First, I got a new Chanel nail polish in Azure, and a new Rogue Coco Shine lipstickin Bonheur. With the $20 off it came to $43. That's still a huge splurge, but much better than $63, right?
I also picked up this Jones New York dress in a blue giraffe print, so fun! It was regularly priced at $134, was on sale for $80 and then an extra 50% of making it 40. THEN we took off 20% and part of the $20, making it about $28.
I also got this cute Michael Kors top which will be perfect for those super hot Summer days. It was $39.50 with 20% off and part of the $20 off, so it was about $25. I almost picked up this Michael Kors Kimono top but it didn't make the cut when I was narrowing everything down.
This was a major splurge, coming out to $77 ($109 wit 20% off and part of the $20.) It's a Lord & Taylor piece and I can't seem to find it online anymore which is a huge shame because its adorable! It was the only one in the store so I couldn't leave it there.
And here's a photo of my new DKNY wallet (similar) from Marshalls, only $11 after my gift card!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend, mine was very nice...except for the fact that I had to get up at 5:45 yesterday to get to my brother's graduation, ha ha. Here's a quick look at what I wore on Saturday for shopping and hanging out with the family. I'll show you my new purchases soon (aka tomorrow.)

Boy am I glad it's Friday. Weekends really are the best invention ever. I'm not saying I don't like my job, but sometimes it's nice to have a break from the craziness. This week was indeed crazy, we were super busy, which is good, so I was very stressed. In other news, my brother is graduating from college this week, it makes me feel old even though I'm only 3 years older than him. So on Sunday I'll be getting up super early to drive to the ceremony and then the whole family will be going out to lunch after.
P.S. I was very excited on Tuesday because I instagrammed my outfit & DKNY PR Girl tweeted it and called it 'Chic." WOO! That's the second time she's tweeted me in a week! The first was when I posted my manicure alongside my new DKNY wallet, to which she replied "stunning."
P.P.S. If you haven't seen the Dead Giveaway video yet, do it now. Best thing ever. I laugh every time I think about it. My favorite parts: 'we eat ribs with this dude' and 'there's some 'lil girls up in that house!'

Last week I was introduced to a new online store, Van Mildert. The store carries designer clothes, shoes and designer bags for women and men! They carry some of my favorite designers like Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors as well as some brands I wasn't as familiar with, such as Joules and Muubaa. They also have a great selection in their sales section, so be sure to check it out! Below are some items I would love to add to my closet:

Oh London, how I miss it. I always find myself reminiscing about my past 2 trips to that wonderful city and am itching to go back. I went for the first time in July 2011 and then was back again in March 2012 (both times for Harry Potter events,) now I'm going through withdrawals because it has been over a year since my last trip! This shirt (and all my photos) help me get through the days when I just want to pack up my bags and hop on a plane. Who wants to go?!
On a totally different note, these jeans used to be longer. I wore them once, then washed & dried them and they shrunk! Weird, right? But I think I like them better cropped like this, don't you? Showing a bit of ankle, scandalous! And, these sandals are 3 years old and are starting to fall apart. I'm quite depressed because they are one of my favorite pairs. The bottoms are starting to peel (I should probably re-glue them) and strings are starting to come off the straps.
