Sweet summertime

Hello everyone. Yesterday I was off from work and went out and about to do a couple errands and meet up with my mom. I thought I would share my outfit details.
I wore a neon peach racer back tank. It was from bobi & I got it a little local boutique. I paired it with destroyed boyfriend capris from American Eagle & white, sparkly flip flops from Buckle. My purse is also from Buckle
Here is a better look of the tank. The lighting was bad in my kitchen because it was cloudy and humid. 
I sprayed my second day hair with surg spray from bumble and bumble & pulled it back into a low, messy braid. 
Here are some details from my look. The bumble and bumble surf spray, naked eye pallet, benefit they're real mascara, bar Turkish delight lip gloss, & benefit coralista blush. These last 4 products are a few of my absolute favorites that I use constantly. At the top of this pic is a leopard makeup bag I just picked up from Victorias Secret. 

Here is a less glamorous detail of yesterday:
The day before I tripped while cleaning off my treadmill & twisted my ankle. It was sore but alright. However, yesterday my ankle was swollen & multicolored. Mom insisted I get an X-ray, so I did. & it is a really bad sprain that needs rest and wrapped. Fun times.

Empties: products I've used up with a mini review.

Hello everyone. My empty products were starting to pile up so I thought it was time to share them with you.

I used a Tresemme thermal creations heat tamer. I really like this product. I apply it before I blow my hair dry to prevent heat damage. I have already repurchased it. The Tresemme 4hair spray is my favorite because it has good hold without being crunchy. I buy these gigantic cans because they last a long time. The Paul Mitchell super skinny serum is one of my favorite products also. It really beats frizz during high humid days. I'm forcing myself to use up some other products before I rebuy this one. 

I have had this Olay face wash lingering around in my shower for a long time. It lathers a lot but is pretty gentle. I would buy it again but there are other face washes that I prefer. The Bath & Body Works shower gel is my absolute favorite. I used up Be Enchanted & Strawberry Sparkler. I liked both of them and have tons more to use. The Frizz Ease Smooth Start shampoo & conditioner are my new favorite. It really does help with my frizzy hair and decreases the tangles. I have already repurchased this duo. 

The Ole Henrikson pure youth reactivating serum. It contains vitamin c and is extremely hydrating. I used it at night and woke up with really nice skin texture.  I really miss this product but I  not allowing myself to repurchase until I have used up a ton of my other products I have laying around. The Pacifica coconut water cleansing wipes were really nice. They removed my makeup and left behind a hydrating later of coconut water that was not oily. Also these smelled great! The Loreal youth code texture perfecting primer is a wonderful serum to apply before makeup. It created a balanced skin tone to apply makeup to. I love it but I think $20 I a steep price to pay for a drugstore product. 
The Olay BB cream is technically not empty. I've had it for over a year and haven't used it for months. I grabbed it to try again about a week ago and noticed a weird smell. I was afraid to use it. The Sephora rose mask was really nice. It was a sheet mask and was very hydrating. When removed, a moisturizer was left behind to rub in. I really liked it and would like to but again. The CoverGirl master shaper for eyebrows ran out really quick. It was waxy and a good shade for me. I'm currently trying out something else. The benefit they're real mascara was one of my favorites. I used up this little size and have already repurchased a new one. The nior tease body mist is my new favorite. It smells great and I like to keep a little bottle like this in my purse.
This Bath & Body Works foaming hand wash is my favorite to put in my bathroom. This island breeze one was turquoise and matched my bathroom. This scent was alright. The Secret clinical strength  invisible solid in completely clean is my favorite deodorant. It works well for my 12 hour nursing shifts during this humid weather we have been having. I have repurchased it over and over.

I love using up stockpiled products. It really gives me a feeling of accomplishment. Reviewing them also helps me remember If I should buy them again or not. Let me know what you think.

Mini haul.

Hello everyone! I hope all is well. I have been incredibly busy, but I thought I would add a little something since I have a few free minutes.
Here are a couple new shirts I bought yesterday. The one on the left is from old navy. I picked it up because it is very classic but has a little something extra. The short sleeves are a little bit longer than a regular tee and the bottom is rounded. The pic is hard to see, but the foiled part is a light golden. The blue one on the left immediately caught my eye because in person, it is a very intense blue with navy chevron on then pocket. It is from Buckle. I swear, every time I go in that store I buy something (as you will see in the next post). The sleeves are 3/4 length, which will carry right over into fall. I also didn't have anything this bright and gorgeous blue. 

I am going to stop at sephora this after noon, maybe I'll add a post about what I grab! Any recommendations?

Talk to ya later.
