HAUL! ULTA, Bath and Body Works, and Walgreens

So I recently went shopping and picked up a few things that I am really excited about!
I listed all of the prices and linked to where you can buy them if your interested. 


So, first off we stopped by Bath and Body Works during their Buy 3 Get 3 Free sale. My lovely friend Betsy and I split the deal and each bought 3 signature collection items. Heres what I got:
Venice Dulce Berry Scrub- A playfully sweet treat with plumberry, frosted magnolia and Sandalwood sugar Original Price: $14 http://tinyurl.com/c9thatl

Sensual Amber Fine Fragrance Mist -The exotic scent of pink lotus petals is enveloped in golden amber and blended with succulent plum and creamy sandalwood
Original Price: $14 http://tinyurl.com/cqewqmr

Midnight Pomegranate Body Lotion- Juicy pomegranates are masterfully mingled with notes of anise, patchouli, blackberry, and cassis
Original Price: $11 http://tinyurl.com/cz2xokj



Next, we decided to stop by Walgreens to pick up a few favorites 


The elf Contouring Blush & Bronzer powder in St. Lucia is a must have for me. The bronzer included is one of the only ones that I have found that isn't too orangey or too muddy. I love it for contouring. 


I also picked up the BEST eyeliner pen in the world. Jordana Fabuliner in Black. It's ideal for making thin lines or thick. It is so effortless to apply and stays on all day. And the price is fantastic. It's one of those items that last forever and that I keep in several different places for quick access.


Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. Do I need to say more? I know alot of you guys have already experienced the amazingness that is the Stay Matte Powder. If not, get up, grab your car keys, and drive to the drugstore down the road and pick it up. It WILL change your life. I wear it in the color Sandstorm. It really does have an amazing natural finish. Its great to wear over a liquid foundation for a more made up look or by itself as a quick "i'm not wearing makeup" look.


Lastly I just grabbed a peel-off mask. Nothing special just handy when we feel like having a girls night. This one was Freeman Feeling Beautiful Facial Peel-Off Mask in Cucumber. It has a nice fresh scent and feels amazing on the face.

The Highlight of my day was without a doubt experiencing my very first time at ULTA. "Sarah why haven't you gone before?" "Everyone goes to Ulta" "Come on now" 
I know guys, I know, we need to get with the crowd. However, I was NOT disappointed. It was like walking into beauty heaven. I loved being able to look at the high-end stuff that bloggers and Youtubers always rave about, and being able to shop a large variety of the great lower end brands. I tried desperately to avoid the temptation of everything in the store. I did however walk out with two items. 



The first is a Cupid's Crush Palette it was super cheap and on the clearance shelf and I couldn't find it online anywhere. But it has fantastic pigmentation and range. The only thing that I could do without is all the shimmer. It's still a great palette though.
Price- $2.99 Might be in ULTA Stores 

Last on the list of haul scores is my Hydrating Macadamia Oil Intensive Moisture Mask from Organix. I hear that it's comparable to the Macadamia Natural Oil brand Hair Masque. I plan to do a review soon comparing the both. However what I can say is that it works WONDERS! My hair was extremely soft after just one use. 



 So that was my day, and that was my haul from the day and everything I bought. Except for my Prom dress, but those pictures are to come with a prom blog. Let me know if you have any questions and let me know what I should pick up next time I go shopping. Link your blogs so we can hang out!

Coming Soon!

Hey guys! If anyone's checking this out. I'm not yet 100% sure how this whole "blog" thing is going to work out but I figured it would be fun and maybe interesting to some people. I plan to make this a bit about life-style stuff, and also about beauty and what not. So I hope that I stay interested in it and hopefully someone else might to. So here is a little bit about me:
I'm Sarah! How was your day? Mine was pretty good. I turned in service hours and bought prom tickets, and then I had a meeting at work. So it was busy, but good. Like I said, my name's Sarah and I am currently 18 years old. I am a senior in High School but I have been dual enrolling for the past two years. Dual Enrollment is an amazing program where I have been able to take college classes at the local state college for free and earn college credit along with high school credit for it. Because of this program I have the first two years of college completed. This is great for making college more affordable in the fall. In the fall I am looking forward to attending Florida Gulf Coast University as a Junior in the communications field with a focus on advertising.
I am currently from Louisiana and my family is moving back there in the fall. I am staying down here to go to FGCU. I was a bit upset to be left at first but I love everyone down here. I have an amazing church family who will be taking care of me. I will also be with my boyfriend of almost 3 years. He had his first year at FGCU this past year and loved it. I am super excited to be on campus with him and become independent. 

I work at Winn-Dixie. Which is a grocery store if you aren't familiar. I am currently an office manager and front end manager. It takes a lot of patience to deal with the employees and customers, but I like it pretty well. 
Well, that's all for now. This is going to be the longest first blog post but... I'm okay with that. So that's me, and if your reading this link me to your blog so we can virtually hang out.:)
