Friday Five

one //

Often times it's hard to come up with something to blog about when you have a set routine you follow daily. Get ready for work, take your child to school, get home from work, cook, clean, bed and do it all again. Well the great thing about #Blogtober14 is the fact that Helene gives you ideas if you need them, if not feel free to blog about whatever!

I'll definitely be joining in on the fun.

High end beauty products at an affordable price....it's true, keep reading!

I have three favorite YouTube beauty vloggers, Jaclyn Hill, Nicole Guierrio and Casey Holmes.
Any time they upload I am at my computer or iPhone watching as they make magic with makeup. Truly, they are perfection when it comes to it. However, they normally use high end products and some times we can't afford those products, lets be honest.

I'm the girl who had to save up to purchase $20 Mac's Pro Longwear concealer (worth it tho!)

Anyways, Jaclyn has spoke about Morphe eyeshadows for the past few weeks and today I took a peek at the website and was sold! Two dollar eyeshadows that are dupes for higher ends. Even beauty vloggers agree they have the same pigmentation and color payoff as the high end brands.

So I purchased my very first Morphe eyeshadow palette today and cannot wait for it's arrival.

I went for the 35 piece Matte Palette, however you can choose single eyeshadows for $2 per, or they have several other palettes to choose from. I'm a sucker for matte colors right now, so...



I'm obsessed with every single color and cannot wait to play around with the deep hues and bright pinks. This for $19.95, can't beat it!

P.S. If you're a fan of Jaclyn Hills on YouTube, watch her latest video (August Favorites) for a coupon code :)

Speaking of beauty vloggers and my makeup obsession, have you seen Nicole Guierrio's latest video? That blush palette and bronzer,..swoon!

She mentioned BH Cosmetics and I assumed they would have a higher price tag to match. I was wrong! So affordable, so I went ahead and purchased the blush palette and bronzer she used in her video.




BH Cosmetics Glamorous Blush Palette



BH Cosmetics Bombshell Bronzer in Diva

Not only are their prices crazy cheap for what you get, but I also did some research and found an additional 5% off promo code online...do your research before buying! I've always saved so much money by searching for promo codes before buying anything online.

I hit up Victoria's Secret on Tuesday to use my five different little coupons I had for them. One for a free hip hugger, one for a free panty of my choice, two for $10 off a bra and one for $10 off any purchase. I got two bralettes by Pink - LOVE them! Seven panties, my two free and right now they are having a sell for 5 for $26. I also got the most softest, comfiest shirt I have ever worn.

Here's the link to purchase the bralettes - again, comfortable and so pretty!

I got $130 worth of merchandise for $70 after my coupons.

This girl right here doesn't shop without a coupon!

Here's the shirt! Again, love it and can't wait to purchase more.

It's perfect for gameday. 

Go Gamecocks!

I've had my lighter ends (ombre) for a month now. My stylist said that I should keep the caramel color and after a few weeks I could come back and get them lighter, more blonde. This would prevent the blonde from turning brassy. Well the time has passed and I'm happy to say I should have blonde tips by next Friday. I've always wanted some blonde in my hair but I've always been impatient and thus it never turned out properly. It's either turned brassy or just didn't take. 

This time, it should take and I'll be sure and show y'all when it does.

Happy Friday friends!
