goodies!! Package includes:

Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant/deodorant
NYC New York Color Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm
Broadway Nails impress Press-on Manicure
Schwarzkopf Professional OSIS Dust it
Tastykake kandy Bar Kake in Smores

This deodorant's scent is "completely clean". This smells SO good! This is the best scent I've smelled in awhile. I am a previous customer of secret deodorants and I've loved everyone I've ever tried and this is another I love. I have never tried a gel before and this does a great job of keeping your underarms dry. Although it is a gel which goes on wet, it dries within 20 seconds of applying which is awesome. There were no white marks on my clothes either because the gel is clear!

This is the NYC glossy lip balm. I have also tried other NYC products. I love their lipsticks. This lip balm is new for me, but I like it! It smells just like real apples! It has a tiny bit of shimmer and it goes on really smooth and creamy. It moisturizes my lips really well and gives it a bit of cute tint too! I love how there is a little apple shaped into the center of the balm. it gives off a slight red color.

This candy bar flavor was smores. it was a fluffy, moist cake with yummy marshmellowy creamy filling. the filling was my favorite part! and it was all wrapped with chocolate. mmm :) it was a big sized bar too and very delicious. ive never seen these at the store, but if I do, I'm going to sneak some in my cart!

This is a root volumizer. It is a white powder you put on your roots. I feel like it does a good job at getting rid of grease. It makes your roots feel more volumized, but do not put too much on or it will get too thick. You have to watch how much you use. It doesnt have a scent to it which I like. however, I prefer schwarzkopf's straightening gel.

My New Vanity Set Up

Here is my long awaited new vanity set up!!

I'm so happy I finally got a beautiful vanity mirror! The mirror is perfect for doing your hair and makeup. I love that it connects to a set of mirrored drawers. I keep all my Sephora samples in the middle drawer (biggest drawer) and I keep some other little trinkets in the left and right drawers. (slightly smaller drawers). I got this for Christmas and it was the best gift I've ever received. It makes my desk look like a real vanity. The desk and the vanity mirror/drawers are from pottery barn teen. The desk/chair I've had for years and the vanity mirror will go out of stock soon, so get yours while you can! My mom got it for me on sale for about $130, but it went even cheaper when they marked the price down again.

The acrylic makeup drawer organizer if from Muji.com ($35 total after shipping/tax fees) and the makeup tray holder is from Target ($18). The makeup mirror is also from Target by Conair ($25).

Getting back to my Beauty blog! Here is one of my favorite new purchases! Nars Copacabana!

NARS Copacabana Illuminator

(Picture taken by me)

Once I saw a picture of these Nars illuminators on Tumblr I definitely had to check it out! I looked up some swatches online and Copacabana was my favorite. The Nars illuminators come in four colors:

(2nd picture borrowed from: http://legend-mg.blogspot.com/2011/07/product-review-nars-illuminator.html)

The colors from left to right are Copacabana, Orgasm, Super Orgasm, and Laguna!

I apologize in advance for Nars slightly risque choice in names for their makeup

I bought Copacabana for $30

I plan to get Super Orgasm for sure! I might get Orgasm as well, but I want to test out how different Orgasm and Super Orgasm are in the store. I don't want to buy both if they are super similar. I can't buy Laguna because it is way too dark for my fair skin. I plan to do a full review on Copacabana soon! I will include swatches, first impressions, and overall rate.
