First Purchase & ModCloth.com Coupon Code

I've finally made my first order from Modcloth.com!

I've been a silent stalker of the website for a couple of years now but my mom, although not a very big fan of shopping online, got me a $50 coupon for Christmas towards the website. I know with $50 I should have bought something AGES ago. However, after I realized I could actually BUY from Modcloth for the first time, I just realized how expensive they can be. Everything I wanted set me back usually a lot more than $50. Also, it is rare that they have a REALLY good sale - but did happen to miss 2 major ones o____O

Shipping to Canada is really expensive and they only accept paypal or an American credit card for International buyers. This is why I was going to have my aunt buy from the website...one thing I had my eye on was a great pair of high waisted shorts as well as a couple of other things. Sadly her busy schedule couldn't allow her to order in time. I died inside a bit when I had to watch the items I wanted to buy sell out TWICE !  

Anyways, on to my purchases.

Posh Plumage Romper

Price: $59.99 $29.99

Description 

Feel your heart soar when you slip into this velvety, olive-and-gold romper! With boning at the bustier, a duo of deep pockets, and a savvy silhouette, this chic romper is a luxe-yet-edgy, way to show off your style. Pair it with onyx stockings, a sparkly cardi, and T-strap heels for a glimmering look that's sure to delight! 

I love that this romper has "boning" to create a slimming effect (something that may turn out to be really flattering for my petite waist!) Also, velvet romper and accessible pockets ? Comfort + Luxury = THE BOMB Ok, so maybe I haven't seen this in person but from the picture and description I think this will be a steal ! 

Petite Paris Necklace

Price: $12.99

This isn't something I would buy in any other store for this price but because I had a coupon and didn't want to go over my $50 limit I went with this cute necklace. The main reason why I was drawn to this is because it would go with everything in my closet - and it had a lot of good reviews. Since International shipping is so high, its not likely that I would return this item, so I'd rather be safe than sorry! 

 Total Cost: 

 12.99 + 29.99 + 7.00 (shipping) = 49.98

but wait...I had a coupon!

  Apparently, ModCloth has declared JULY 21st Mod Lovers appreciation day! 

With my discount my purchases came to $42.77 ! 

Meaning that I still have $7.23 left to spend on the website...pretty much US shipping but it's still something.

I'm so happy, I can't wait until my aunt ships me my purchases !

Makeup Warehouse Haul: Preview

Hi guys, I'm no beauty guru but in a previous post about summer makeup trends I probably mentioned that I've always wanted to get into makeup and just never ended up getting around to it. Lately, I've been really craving for a lipstick. You know that feeling a lot of girls get when they want to shop like, I WANT that shirt, I NEED A JEFFERY CAMPBELL BOOT, I'm DREAMING about those vintage shoes...etc. Well I had the same thoughts...but for lipstick.

I've never had very much luck with lipstick it felt and looked too pasty. Nearly all of my lipsticks had came from really cheap makeup sets, the ones you might get as a kid, or I've had them for so long I couldn't even tell you when I first got it. As of lately instead of googling fashion I've been obsessed with reading reviews and hauls of makeup. (Makeupalley.com is a really good place for anyone who wants product reviews from real people (no one is sponsored or paid for their opinions). You can find nearly anything you want on that site). I knew I needed to buy a lipstick just to calm the insanely obsessive thoughts of me buying a lipstick.

My top reasons for wanting a lipstick:

• I wanted to build a decent makeup collection
• Lipstick requires the least amount of brushes & prep (in my opinion)
• Its something that I wouldn't mind practicing at
• Somehow I had in my mind that I would look awesome in lipstick

All my recent lipstick purchases

Well I told myself to buy one or two lipsticks but found a warehouse sale and bought 8 (4 for $10). I have no idea at this point if I'll eventually be regretting how many I picked up at one time. I mean seriously, outside of dance performances, I've never worn lipstick o___O but I guess for now I'm more than satisfied with my purchases.

Actually to be honest, I bought these lipsticks on the day that most of my school went to prom...but I guess that's another story.

Above and below you will see the pictures that I have taken but I have also added my name and website...just in case someone (who would though) decides to take my picture without crediting me. I really did try to lay everything out to look as professional as possible. =)

All my purchases found at the warehouse sale (not including the nail polish)

I bought 6 revlon lipsticks, 2 maybelline lipsticks, 2 tweezers, and 1 rimmel mascara (i also bought a sally hansen nail polish but not at the warehouse)

Hopefully I can get in a review as soon as I've tried them.

What do you think of my pictures ?? (I took them myself)

Is there any purchases that you think a beginner, like me, should have in their makeup collection?
