Daily Deals

I've totally lagged on this post for a very long time now.  From time to time I'll post up deals, but I didn't want to bombard the blog with deal post every time I write (since I barely write anways).

Since the Holidays are coming up, many brands are coming up with tons of exciting discounts for their loyal fans, so I hope to be sharing them with you all when I hear of them.  If you see any that I don't know of, let me know so I can post it on here as well.

Oh My! The Mother Lode

Tonight I was on Sephora's website looking at all the new holiday sets that came out for this season.  I haven't been keeping up with what's new so I hadn't really heard of anything that would catch my eye. But OMG I came across Urban Decay and saw the coolest Limited Edition set so far.  Technically not a holiday set, but very special indeed.  
 
As a Limited Edition Collectors' set, Urban Decay created and called it "The Mother Lode Shadow Set".  Eyeshadow fans you got yourself a complete set of Urban Decay's loved eyeshadows, not just a few but  68 colors in all.  Plus you also get a Build Your Own palette to pick and choose which shadows you want to carry around.

"The Mother Lode Shadow Set"

 What Sephora says:

To celebrate the relaunch of their bestselling Eyeshadow, Urban Decay created the ultimate collector’s set—a kit so exclusive, it will only be around for a limited time. The comprehensive set includes all Urban Decay’s shades in full-size, individual pop-out compacts, from super smooth mattes, pearly satins and shades loaded with shimmer and glitter, to gorgeous duotones that change color before your eyes. Use the enclosed four-pan Build Your Own Palette to create your own customized collection, and then swap out shades whenever the urge strikes.

The set retails at $595 but valued at $1234.  When I saw the price my mouth nearly dropped. Who would spend that much on shadows?  Then I got to calculating the prices and found that if you really get down to details this set is definitely quite a deal.  For an empty palette and 68 shadows, you are literally paying about $8.50 a shadow compared to the $18 retail price for each shadow.  The price for this set is about 50% off retail. 

The only thing that would be hard for me is actually forking over that much money all at one time for the set.  I tend to buy things one at a time over time not all at once.  But if you really think about it, I may be spending much more money over time than all at once.  Do I make any sense? lol.

Now if only I can pull out a whopping $600 out of my wallet then maybe just maybe I would get it.  This is definitely a collector's item and for any ultimate Urban Decay fans, but for now, I'll just stare at it and add it to my wishlist.

You can only buy the Mother Lode online at Sephora.com.

Sandals for Fall?

Quick Favorite of the Summer for you guys!

Earlier in the summer I posted that I got a pair of Sam Edelman Gigi sandals and how excited I was, however after awhile I wasn't so excited.  I don't know.  The shoes weren't as comfortable as I thought it was going to be, my heels couldn't last that long, so I didn't wear them as much.

I did however pick up another pair of sandals.  It was a pair of brown Jessica Simpson sandals found at Marshalls.  Now this pair I found myself wearing it almost everywhere.  I found it more comfortable on my feet and with more support.  I definitely loved this buy.

Yes, its Fall season already and its boots season but since its practically summer here all year long, this pair will definitely be one I will still be wearing.  Need to go find me another back up pair.

Elf Cosmetics on Sale @ Target

With Elf Cosmetics being sold at such a good price who needs a discount right? Well I'm sure we all need a bit of a discount from time to time.

If you are heading to Target anytime soon make sure to check and see if your Target is discounting their Elf Cosmetics section.  I found mines discounted to 15% off which is usually the starting amount.  If you get lucky they may even discount it up to 30-50% off which is totally awesome.  The only downside would be items would probably get picked over and broken, which is why you go now.

I'm assuming that they are clearing their stock for Holiday collections coming out so once those arrive the old stock will be taken out.

I SPY Rebecca Minkoff!

My weekly trip to TJ Maxx helped me spot an awesome find.  Once in awhile TJ Maxx and Marshalls would have designer handbags such as Coach, Michael Kors, and DKNY, however I've never seen one with this brand.

Maybe since this TJ Maxx had just open, newer items were stocked, but I'm not sure.  I guess its always a hit and miss at these stores.

I actually found a few Rebecca Minkoff bags at this store and though still very expensive ($100+) it was still a bargain steal from the original price.  I didn't buy it, because my wallet would cry, but thought maybe I'll share a photo so that some of you lucky ladies can find some too.

I don't have the information of the type of bag and the price.  I was in a hurry (well actually the Mr.) so I took a quick picture and left.  Its definitely cute statement bag, super bright pink, perfect for any girl out there.  Now if it was like in black or a neutral color, I may have had second thoughts about getting it, but maybe next time.

Finally H&M! Online Shopping

If you haven't already heard or read about it, after a long wait, H&M finally opens up an online store for many of us that cannot get to one locally.

 I'm grateful that H&M has opened up 3 stores in my area, however before there was any, I couldn't go anywhere near to find an H&M.  The nearest one was 4 hours away, which is a no go for me, it was just too far.  I was also one who wondered why H&M never had an online store, which would be so convenient for me especially since its so popular. Now the wait is over for the many who has longed to shop at H&M.

You can view the fashion on their website here at H&M.

Some of my favorites that are already in my cart:

After browsing some, I did notice that the website still doesn't have as much items as a normal online shop would have.  I imagine the company is still adding products to the site and will have more to come.  Can't wait for more to come because I'm definitely in the mood for shopping.

Sam Edelman "Gigi" Haul

Quick haul post for the blog! Too many things been happening. New job, New baby, New everything!

Summer's here so I decided to get myself a new pair of sandals.  I've been eyeing Sam Edelman sandals for awhile now but I couldn't justify paying the prices for sandals.  Living here in Florida, sandals are our primary shoes that we were since its practically summer year round.  So sandals are a necessity in my book.

I finally found a Sam Edelman "GiGi" sandal that I've been wanting especially in black which seems to always be out of stock.  Super cute, but not as quite comfortable as I would like, but oh well as long as it works for me.

The best part was that I got it about 40% off retail at TJ Maxx which definitely made my day.  I've only seen Sam Edelman shoes maybe twice before so I know it doesn't pass through these stores often.  It was a "I better get it before its gone" moment for me! Happy haul for me!

Its Been Awhile! New Shop Open

Its definitely been awhile since I've blogged. At least a month since my last post.  I was going to try and keep up with blogging but life is pretty hectic at the moment.

Between juggling work and me time, my family is my top priority at the moment.  I just can't find enough time in the day to do everything.  Still learning to adjust to not just have the two of us but the three of us.  Hopefully soon I can manage to do everything. Learning to be Wonder Woman is quite hard!

Any ways, I wanted to share a little bit of what I've been doing the past month.  I've opened up cute Facebook boutique online and would love to share it with you all.  I've just added a few items, but will continue to add more cuteness to the shop.  A little jewelry, hair accessories, and other things I may have in mind.

The boutique is called Love, Grace. 

All items with be sent "with Love, from Grace". A little love from my little baby blessing.

Please stop by and LIKE and SHARE with everyone!

Time for a new bag??

My purse that I've been using is pretty old and worn out.  So I've been meaning to get a new bag for some time now.  I just haven't found any that I liked or may work out for me.

I like bigger bags like totes and shoulder bags. I tend to carry lots of stuff as well especially with a new baby, a bigger bag will definitely help out instead of carrying a diaper bag and my purse. I don't seem as picky when shopping for purses, but somehow I never end up with one I really like.  It takes me so much time to pick one out that I just quit. Looking for the right length, size, and material is pretty much what I really look for.

So today while I was browsing on Ebay, I decided to look up some purses on the site.  Surprisingly, I did find a few non brand bags that I kind of liked and would probably buy.  They are pretty cheap too which is a plus.  The only downside would be that I can't see them in person so I can't try them on and can't feel the material.

Here's what I found so far:

Which one do you think I should get? I really like the last one, however not in black but in the gray color which is not available.  I'm a little hesitant if I should get one on Ebay like I said earlier about not seeing it in person.  The prices are pretty cheap all under $20, which is good in my wallet.  I would love to have all those high end bags as well, but my wallet is totally not having it at the moment, so none of those at the moment.

I'll definitely keep an eye out again for more bags I may like and share them with you. Let me know if you have a bagI may like. Share!

Have you bought purses on EBAY before?

Sephora Brush Set Sale! *Hot Deal*

Took a quick peek at Sephora's sale section online and was surprised to see a product that I thought would never get discounted.  I'm sure this deal is not going to stay pretty long on the site, so I say grab it while you can.

This is especially great if you are new to the Beauty world and are in need of good quality brushes. It can also be great for budding makeup artist who needs something to start off with.

Sephora Makeup Artist Brush Belt Set 

Description:
What it is:
A makeup artist's belt with a range of brushes for your every need.

What you need to know:
Sephora's Brush Belt includes fifteen deluxe, professional brushes that will never leave you at a loss for makeup application. Every brush imaginable is at your fingertips, so you can create a professional makeup look anytime. The brushes come in Sephora's Makeup Artist Brush Belt case, made of easy-to-clean faux leather, with interior nylon pockets on the left and the right that are made to fit all brush sizes, and center pockets designed for a Kabuki brush on top and a bronzer brush underneath. An adjustable strap allows for the belt to be comfortably worn around the waist or over-the-shoulder. When you're done, simply cover brushes with the nylon flap, then fold the belt in half and close with the attached strap.

This set includes:
- Professional Natural Crease Brush #10
- Professional Natural Smudge Brush #11
- Professional Natural All Over Shadow Brush #12
- Professional Natural Medium Eyeshadow Brush #14
- Professional Lash & Eyebrow Comb #21
- Professional Angle Brush #22
- Professionnel Platinum Smokey Eye Brush #24
- Professionnel Platinum Natural Powder Brush #40
- Professionnel Platinum Natural Slant Brush #42
- Professionnel Platinum Natural Fan Brush #43
- Professionnel Platinum Stippling Brush #44
- Professionnel Platinum Concealer Brush #45
- Professionnel Platinum Foundation Brush #47
- Professionnel Platinum Bronzer Brush #48
- Professionnel Platinum Lip Brush #61


So the Retail price is $275.  You can get it now for just $150.

That's a total of $125 off the retail price.  This set is still worth over $400.

With 15 professional brushes and the brush belt, I think this is a great bargain for brushes.  I have a few of Sephora Professional brushes and I love them.  They still are in good condition.  When I started out doing makeup, I really wanted this set, however I couldn't justify paying $275 for it, so I never got.  Now that I have plenty of brushes to go around, I'm not sure if I'll get this, but you never know.  I still think this is an awesome deal that everyone who can get should.

Most likely this is an online deal sale.  You can get it here at Sephora.com

Get it before it's gone!

Totally My Style - Casual Pretty

Love Pinterest and Polyvore! My favorite places to find styling tips and fashion ideas!
Here's two looks that are definitely my style. 


Totally My Style - Casual Pretty

 

 

Casual Pretty to me is more on the casual part but with a some prettinest here and there.  I love the added accessories in the pictures above, it really compliments the outfit and give it more of a prettier look than just the jeans and shirt kind of outfit. 
I'm definitely a casual dressing girl. I love to be comfortable and chill but still look like I attempted to put an outfit together.  Sandals and flats are my faves and love all the handbags because they are mid size and still goes with the outfits.  Who can go wrong with jeans? White, dark washed, bleached, as long as they are jeans, I'm cool with it.

What's your Style?

Dreaming of Closets

Lately I've been pretty busy with getting things ready for the home Mr H. and I will hopefully be getting soon.  One main aspect of a house I would consider is the Master Closet.  I currently have a small closet, not a walkin, full of items that are over flowing.  I needed a walkin closet, which the house we like does have and its a pretty good size.

I've done a bit of picture research of what items I would love to have in my closet.  If only I had a closet the size of a bedroom, I could totally do whatever I wanted, however I don't, so I can only dream of the most amazing closets I will never have.

Dreaming of Closets:

I'm in Love with this one below:

This will probably the closest I get to dream closet.

I actually like the last picture design because it looks just about the right size for the walkin closet in the house and it has many different aspect that I need for all my clothing and accessories.  Who wouldn't want a closet like Mariah Carey or Kimora Lee, I sure would love one, but then again I don't have that many items and I would not know how to organize everything. I know that I definitely want space for shoes, dresses, drawers, clothing accessories, and more space. Still looking at different alternatives and seeing what will be most logical and easiest for everyday life.

What would your DREAM CLOSET have?

Butters, Blushers, Glossers

Picked up a few items this past weekend at Sephora and Walmart.  I'm super excited as these are products I haven't tried before but hearing amazing reviews.

Butters, Blushers, Glossers

Maybelline Dream Bouncy in "Rose Petal" and Revlon Lip Butter in "Peach Parfait"

Korres Lip Butter in "Pomegranate" and Korres Lip Gloss in "30 Beige"

Can't wait to really try these products.  I was iffy at first about the Korres products, but I decided to grab them.  The lipgloss was actually on sale at Sephora JcPenny, so I nabbed it before it was all gone.  I also used coupons for the Drugstore purchase so I saved a bunch of $$ on them too. I love shopping for deals.

Will do a follow-up post on whether I like these products or not hopefully soon.

Have you tried these products before? Do you like or dislike?
