OOTD: Casual Summer Day


Hello everyone! Today I will be showing you my outfit for today. It's very laid back, simple & easy.  



Starting with my shirt, it is a muscle tee with Marilyn Monroe on it. This shirt was originally just a tee shirt from Walmart and i cut it up into a muscle tee and its super comfy! 



Next for my bottoms they are just simple jean shorts from Kohl's (by the brand Mudd). 



Excuse my disgusting chipped toe nails but for shoes I am wearing these black strappy sandals that I bought from Tilly's (by the brand Bamboo).



Lastly to finish off the outfit I am wearing a bracelet that I made myself. You have to buy this fancy kit and stuff to make them so I just used my little cousins to make this pink, black & white fishtail style bracelet. 




I hope you enjoyed todays blog post! I know it is pretty short and straight to the point but I hope you guys don't mind! Also sorry for not posting on Sunday like I usually would but I thought that the extra one I had made on Friday would make up for it. School is starting very soon for me, I might not post as much as I would like too but anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this OOTD. If you would like to see more OOTD's then comment down below what kind of styles you would like to see. Also just leave suggestions of any kind of blog post you would like to see!

Mini Mall Haul!



Hi everyone! Even though in my description above says I will be posting every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, I will still be doing some extra ones here and there which is what I am doing today! I went to the mall with my mom today to return some things we had recently bought and we then bought just a few other things while we were there. Hope you enjoy! 






The first item I got is a dress from Forever 21. The pattern is sort of like roses going throughout the whole dress. I LOVE the pattern on this dress! The colors in this dress are black and off white.
Price: $29.80 



Another purchase from Forever 21 were these Rose Extract Makeup Cleansing Tissues. They were near the check out, they were inexpensive & I was running low on makeup wipes. So I thought what the heck might as well try them out! The one thing that also made me want to try them was because of the rose scent that they are supposed to have & I love the scent of rose. Plus on the packaging it says they are hydrating, soothing & nourishing. 
Price: $4.80




Next stop. Hollister! The only thing I got was this tank top. The cool thing about this tank though is that it is made out of soft sweater material! The one that I got is a light gray. They also had it in a cream color and a blue. It might be on the pricy side but it's very comfy!
Price: $36.50



Aeropostale was selling some really cute cardigans that sort of reminded me of the ones that Brandy Melville sells. It is so cozy! The one I bought is tan with brown stripes. It is not much of a difference in price from the Brandy Melville cardigan but it is a little bit less expensive.
Price: $54.50






I absolutely adore Lush products so I just had to stop by! I got the Popcorn lip scrub which smells and tastes fantastic! Then I was looking at the lip tints and one of the workers swatched it on her hand for me & it was love at first sight! As you can see I picked out the one called Latte. It is a gorgeous natural shade and I'm obsessed! 
Lip Scrub: $9.95
Lip Tint: $7.25






I'm obsessed with this scent that I got in candle and body spray form! It is Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin from Bath & Body Works. I suck at describing scents so I am just going to write the description that is on the bottom of the candle! "Celebrate pumpkin season with this inviting mixture of harvest pumpkin, sweet vanilla cream and fall's rich spices." 
Candle: $20 (I got it on sale though but I'm not sure of the price it was reduced to)
Body Spray: $14.00


Last and final thing I got was actual from Dollar General since we had to stop there for a few little things. As we were walking I spotted this! The Air Curler! I had heard grav3yardgirl on youtube post a video about it showing how it works. I will let you guys know how it goes! 
Price: $15.00


Well that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed this blog post and found it helpful! Please comment below some suggestions of things you would like to see next!

Revlon Lip Butter Review! (Plus Swatches)

Hello everyone & welcome to my first blog! Today I will be sharing with you a review about some of my favorite lip products, Revlon Lip Butters! You most likely have heard about these products many times before but I will just be showing you the ones I have purchased and tell you what I think about each shade! All of the lip butters give off a slightly glossy finish & are all also very moisturizing!So I hope you enjoy!


Left to right: Raspberry Pie, Wild Watermelon, Candy Apple, Tutti Fruiti, Sweet Tart, and Juicy Papaya.












Starting off with Raspberry Pie, which is a deepish berry shade. As you can can tell from the swatch it is pretty pigmented & is also probably the most pigmented out of the bunch I have to share with you. I really love this color for the kind of days that I just feel like doing very simple makeup with a fun lip!

Next up is Wild Watermelon! This color has been raved about so much lately and it does deserve the hype. It is apart of the new summer collection along with 3 other shades. The shade is a bright & fun, strawberry red that is also really great for days when you want simple makeup & a bright pop on the lips! As for the pigmentation, its great!



Candy Apple is the perfect shade if you love red & it has great pigmentation! It's a classic red color that is so pretty on the lips. I don't know what else to say about this shade other then its a great one to buy!



As you can tell, Tutti Fruiti is orange! This shade is also pretty pigmented. It's a very fun color to work with! Once again, this is a great choice for some simple makeup and a fun color to put on the lips!





Sweet Tart is a gorgeous hotish pink that is perfect for summer time, or just anytime at all! I use this lip product A LOT! Its definitely one of my favorites from the whole collection. It's pigmented and just very pretty for everyday use!



Last but not least is Juicy Papaya! This is also another one of the lip butters from the summer collection. It's highly raved about and this one is also definitely worth the hype! As you can tell it is the sheerest one out all the lip butters in my collection but trust me when I say it is absolutely beautiful on the lips and very natural for everyday use.



If I had to pick a top 3 out of all the lip butters I would have to go with Juicy Papaya, Sweet Tart, and Wild Watermelon! These products are 100% worth the hype and I absolutely love every single one I have and I hope to buy more in the future! That is all for my blog post today and I hope you all enjoyed! Comment down below suggestions for what post you would like to see next!
