Collective Veteran's Day Haul

As we all know, holiday = sale! Veteran's Day had many sales, but I thought I might as well throw in other items I bought in the previous months. Beware! This is a pretty long post!

Foreign Exchange Circle Scarf- $22 for two
Foreign Exchange was having a buy one get one free on their entire store, so i pick up two of these circle scarf. I purchased this in the color taupe and black, but I gave the black one to my sister. I really like this pattern because half the scarf has a weave pattern, while the other half looks knitted.

H&M Burgundy Peppered Elbow Outline Cardigan- ~$10

H&M Blue Peppered Sweater- ~$10
H&M was having a buy one get one free on all their knit wear. Since my wardrobe mainly consists of black, white, and grey colors, I thought it would be good to add some color. I really enjoy these so far, but my only complaint is that the burgundy cardigan is really thin.

Forever 21 Orange Rust Peplum Top- $5
 The actual color is a rusty orange, but it shows up red on the picture. At first I thought I would not like this, but after I tried it on, the shape was quite flattering on me. My friend also like it and thought I could use some more color in my wardrobe. I thought it was a steal for $5 since Forever 21 was having an additional 50% off their clearance items.

Forever 21 Boxy White Top- $3.50

I really liked the buttons on the shoulder part of the top. I thought this was a good buy since it was another item i got on clearance that was additional 50% off. I would wear this on a casual day with leggings or jeans with a heavy jacket for the winter.
Forever 21 Boxy White Top w/ Sheer Bottom Strip- $3.50
I already purchased something similar to this before, but I actually like this one a lot more. I love how the bottom is sheer, so i like to wear a bold colored tank top, so it looks color blocked. I also really like the design with the line down the middle of the back. This was also on clearance with additional 50% off. 

Forever 21 Black Moto Jacket- $20
 This item was not one sale, but  really liked how it looked on me. It was pretty warm, so I thought it would be great for winter. 

Forever 21 Hello Kitty Cupcake Tee- $10.80
 I thought the design was really adorable and it really is, but this tee runs big. For the design, it was worth it since I purchased this when they were having their friends and family sale of 21% off.

Space-Dyed Chiffon Panel Top- $5.38
 I really like the design of this top because I have never seen anything like it before. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a bit short I also purchased this when it was the friends and family sale.
Target: Xhilaration Chevron Print Dress- $9.98
 At first I thought this the chevron print was really intimidating, but after I tried it on, I fell in love! This dress is especially flattering on my body because the print creates the right illusion in the right places. I can't wait to wear this next summer!

Target: Merona Color Blocked Long Sleeve Sweater- $9.38
 I'll upload my own picture later; I left it at my parent's.
I love this sweater, looks great during the winter and the material is pretty soft. I was lucky to find it on sale at my Target. Very happy with this purchase!

Charlotte Russe Black Faux Leather Jacket- ~$35

 I love how there is a zipper on the collar, only two pockets and how well it fits; overall my favorite faux leather jacket. I also happen to walk in at a good time because it was happy hour and i received $5 off my $30 purchase.

Sears Boyfriend Fit Blazer- $7.99
 I love how silky it feels and the two fake side pockets are pretty cute. For the price, I thought it was pretty worth it.

Sears Diamond Ruffled Sleeves Top- $7.99
 I like this top, but I do not particularly love it since I feel like it is more of a work top. I do love the small keyhole design on the back though!
Urban Outfitter Chained Cross Body Bag- $20
My new favorite go to bag! I love how this bag has a lot of compartments and is very roomy. It honestly looks a lot better in person than in picture. The only downfall about this bag is the weight because of the thick heavy chain. Overall, I do love the design as well as the price since I happen to be at Urban Outfitters when they were having an additional 50% off their accessories!

Stay tuned for my upcoming beauty haul!

MUA Sweet Kiss & Sugar Lips Lip Balms Review and Swatches


 Left To Right: Sweet Kiss, Sugar Lips
Left To Right: Sweet Kiss, Sugar Lips

PROS: 
+ Affordable
+ Smells like vanilla cupcakes in my opinion
+ Nice sheer tint to the lips
+ Quite moisturizing  
+ Not sticky
+ Cute packaging

CONS: 
- Cheap packaging 
- Have to use fingers or lip brush to apply

Finals Thoughts: I really do enjoy these because these colors are very wearable. On me, Sweet kiss puts a light coral pinky nude tint, while Sugar Lips has a very natural nude with a tiny hint of purple on my lips.(My Lips are quite pigmented!) I usually like to keep these in my purse to reapply during the day time or night time. Depending on how much you apply of your lips, it will leave a very nice glossy sheen on the lips. I would say give these a try if you really enjoy sheer lip products because this is will definitely add a nice light tint while keeping your lips moisturized and looking glossy!
