Fall Favorites

Hey everyone! I am going to go ahead and do another entry today. It's one of those lazy days so I have nothing better to do!
Angela, or HoneyFlower3, is a YouTube beauty guru who I LOVE. She's super sweet and has some very creative and helpful videos on YouTube. Anyway, she just did a Fall Tag video and tagged me in it and said I could do it on my blog since I don't make videos. Well, I thought it was a neat tag so I basically put together a variation of the tag. If you want to do the actual/original tag you can go watch Angela's video at www.youtube.com/honeyflower3. She listed all the questions in the below box :)
Anyway, here's what I put together inspired by the Fall Tag video:


1. Some of my favorite things about fall are all of the warm spicy scents that get released at Bath and Body Works. I just bought one of the new scented candles in "S'Mores" and I absolutely love it! I also love amber scents like B&BW's "Sensual Amber" body mist and Hilary Duff's "With Love" perfume.
2. A favorite wardrobe item for fall is moccasins. I've never actually owned a pair, but I think the pair I put in the picture is super cute. They are from PacSun: Black Poppy Black Poppy Tessa 182 Moccasin
3. It seems like owls are especially popular in the fall and I can never have enough owls in my life. This is a cute owl pendant necklace from PacSun with an antique look that will compliment a fall wardrobe : With Love From CA Circle Pendant Owl Necklace
4. I love any nail polish from Essie's fall collection. I looked at 3 different stores today hunting for Essie's Very Structured polish which is a burnt sienna color....soooo pretty! (I never could find it though!)
5. I love skinny jeans for fall even though flares and boot cuts are coming back. Levi's has a new fit released for their jeans that are supposed to have a more custom fit depending on the curves of your body. This pair is the "demi" curve which PacSun and Urban Outfitters both carry. I think they'd look really cute with a pair of moccasins.
6. Mod Cloth is coming out with some really cute tops for fall including this one, the Pumpkin Roulade Top. I love the colors burnt orange, mustard, azure and jade for fall :)
7. A favorite hair product for fall is Redken's Velvet Gelatine. It will definitely help you achieve soft bouncy hair...and in the fall I tend to go for a loose curled look, so Velvet Gelatine is a must. And it smells soooo amazing.
8. Fall and candy corn go perfectly together! Like Cadbury Eggs and Easter...yum.
9. I love scarfs like this for fall in jewel tones. This one is from Mod Cloth, You're the Pom Scarf.
10. A favorite fall makeup item for me is definitely Stila's Natural Eye Palette. I also like the Urban Decay Naked Palette for fall. Smoky brown eyes and a natural lip or neutral eyes with cat eyed liner and bold lips are always great fall makeup looks :)

One of the questions in the tag was what you plan on being for Halloween. I really have no clue what I'm going to be for Halloween! I want to put together something creative, but I'm really lacking in the creativity department lately...my mind has been focused on 1,000 other things blaaah. Anyway, what are you all being for Halloween?

Bath and Body Works Haul

Hey! I have a Bath and Body Works haul to share with you guys. I loooove B&BW! I have an obsession with candles and saw online that the 4 oz. candles were on sale 2 for $10. Soooo I went there after work and picked up 4 candles. I got a Japanese Cherry Blossom candle and two Kitchen Spice scented candles. Both of those are repurchases because I love the way Japanese Cherry Blossom smells and I am addicted to bakery/sweet scents like Creamy Nutmeg and Frosted Cupcake. Kitchen Spice is definitely one of my favorite scents. I also picked up a candle in the scent Coconut Leaves which is described online as a "rich blend of coconut milk, juicy tangerine, papaya nectar and warm vanilla." It smells amazing! Mango Cilantro and Beachside are also new candle scents that were released with Coconut Leaves.
While I was there I also picked up some body sprays for my boyfriend in Ocean and Citron that smell pretty fresh. I especially like Ocean...it reminds me of Nautica or something. Bath and Body Works also released these new scent stacker things. I thought it was cute how they stacked up and they came in the Country Chic scent that was newly released for Spring. If you haven't smelt Country Chic yet you need to! I love it and it's definitely a new favorite scent of mine.The scent stackers at my store were 3 for $12 so I also picked up a Japanese Cherry Blosson to go along with my Country Chic spray and lotion. Next, I picked up a little Scent Portable thing for my car. It's a blue snail in the scent Vanilla Coconut. They also had other cute shapes like a cheetah print peace sign and a floral patterned flower. Finally, I picked up a free travel size lotion in the scent Coconut Lime Verbena (I must really love coconut...it seems like everything has a coconut scent!) If you are going to Bath and Body Works sometime soon and want to pick up a free travel size item you can click here to print a coupon good till May 18th.
OH! And I also got a full-size Country Chic body wash but I forgot to put it in the pic below and I also got a Sweet Pea Scentegg that I have at my office at work.
Here's a pick of most of the items I purchased:

February Favorites

Hey! I am going to try to post my favorites every month, but we'll see if I can keep up with that! hah
Let's begin with my February beauty favorites:
1.) Tarte Cheek Stain in "Tickled." I love this blush! It goes on nicely and I love the sheer peachy red color and it's even peach scented!
2.) Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette. I've pretty much been using this palette everyday. I was getting bored with my Urban Decay Naked Palette and I loved the colors in this palette a lot! I am going to do a review on it in the next couple of days :)
3.) Coach Poppy Perfume. I am addicted to this scent! I wear it everyday and the scent is very long lasting. The Coach website describes the scent as "sweetly scented jasmine and gardenia mingle with fresh cucumber and candied rose petals" (I'm bad at describing scents haha)
4.) Nail Tek II: Intensive Therapy for soft peeling nails. This stuff really works! I have definitely noticed that my nails are getting stronger and it's an excellent base and top coat as well.
5.) CoverGirl NatureLuxe Silk Foundation. This foundation provides a very light coverage and goes on like silk. I really like the way it blends into my skin. It doesn't feel like I have any foundation on at all!

Now for my non-beauty favorites...
1.) Little Big Planet 2. Ahhhh I love LBP!!!!! I was so excited when this came out. It is a very addictive game to say the least! All of the levels are so fun and creative and you can even collect costumes and stickers.
2.) Bath and Body Works candle in Japanese Cherry Blossom. I love candles from B&BW and right now the 3 wick candles are on sale 2 for $20. Yay! This scent is one of my favorites and I even have the matching lotion.
3.) Parks and Recreation. This isn't a tangible thing I can take a picture of because I watch it on Netflix and it comes on every Thursday night on NBC. Anyway, I am obsessed with this show! April and Andy are my favorite characters and I also really like Ron Swanson. Such a good show!

So, that's all for now...if you want a more in-depth review of any of the items I mentioned just let me know! I am for sure doing a review on the Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette and will post it in the next few days so stay tuned! Thanks for reading :)
