Weekend Haul

I didn't do a ton of shopping this weekend which is always a good thing if you ask my bank account. But I did pick up a few things that are worth mentioning. I also received a few packages in the mail, so I'll just throw those items in the mix. 


If you don't know by now, which you should, I absolutely love Target. When my mom was pregnant with me, her water broke in Target so it was pretty much meant to be. Whilst on my trip, I found two super cute pairs of Sam & Libby for Target ankle boots. I am in love the pair with the buckles way more than I thought I would, I can see these being my go-to shoes for a while. I have yet to wear the other pair but I think they'll fit nicely into my wardrobe as I transition into my new job! The pair on the left was $13.48 and the pair on the right was $11.98. Major steals.


I have been wanting to try a new primer for a while and lately, despite my hard work, my pores have been atrocious. I guess my skin is just going through something right now but it needs to get over it. I've only worn this once but I'm getting the feeling that it's going to be a favorite. It kinda reminds me of my favorite primer, the Givenchy Mister Mat but it's price tag is way nicer. I did notice that my skin seems smoother and my pores seemed less visible. I'll keep ya posted. 


I really went into Ulta to purchase the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eyes concealer because I'd gotten a sample and loved it. It's $24 but I use concealer more than I actually use foundation so I don't mind spending more. But I went over to the NYX section and found a shade of concealer I'd never seen. There was a tester so I dabbed it under my eyes and the color was perfect, I couldn't believe it. I was elated to find a much less expensive alternative. 


I first signed up for Julep's Monthly Maven boxes thinking I would cancel after my first free box. But I couldn't, I love their polishes too much. Now I'm not really a polish snob, Sinful Colors are under $2 and they make some of my favorite colors but I am utterly smitten with Julep polishes. The colors, consistency, and the brush are three of the big reasons why I'm hooked. Just take a look at the colors in this month's It Girl box, they're superb and well worth the $19.99 for the whole box. I guess I won't be cancelling any time soon. Darn you Julep. 

Piperlime recently had extra 60% off Final Sale items. So in my world, that made everything practically free. It was a little hard to decide what to get since I knew I couldn't return something if it didn't work out but I did find a few things that I couldn't resist. 

Pim and Larkin, got it for $11



Pim and Larkin, got it for $9


Last month I did a pretty good job of shopping my closet. After my recent purchases I think I'm going to take another month off from shopping. Like I said before, I get better at it every time and have fewer slip ups. Let's see how this goes, anyone want to join, wanna be my accountability buddy?

  1. Thanks for sharing your treasures. My fave from your haul is the Tinley Road piece. It is fab. Great job shopping the sale. It's the only way I can afford designer finds.
