I (sorta) promise I'm not a shopaholic.

It kind of seems like I do a lot of shopping but I promise that's not the case!  My thing is makeup.  Do I actually need any of it?  Of course not! But if Husband tells me you have (insert money limit)  that you can spend on whatever, I will most likely gravitate towards makeup.  Never fails.  I really should be buying clothes but, pft, lipstick is way more of a necessity.  Right?  Right. 

Urban Decay was my first 'high end' makeup product I bought and it just so happens to be one of my absolute favorite brands.  I'm definitely a 'color' girl and Urban Decay is definitely the place you go to for bright, fun colors! 

I originally just wanted to try out their newly released lipsticks but turns out they were having a sale!  SCORE!  I'm going to warn you.  There is A LOT of purple here.  Since I have green eyes purple is my BAM color.  And who doesn't want an eyeshadow that makes your eyes go 'BAM'?!  

 

Let's get the boring stuff out of the way first.  I got this setting spray in sample size just try it out last year and fell in love with it.  I used to live in Louisiana and it worked wonders for keeping my makeup on.  Now, living in Houston, where it's probably a thousand degrees hotter, I had to invest in some more of this miracle spray!  If you live in an area that hot and humid I'd definitely recommend this stuff! 

 

And here we are about to jump into some serious purple.  I've been loving the natural eye with a pop of color look lately and I saw these were on sale so I grabbed a couple.  Believe it or not I actually didn't have any colored eyeliners.  The top swatch is actually Ransom and the bottom is Lust.  Looking at the packaging it looks like Ransom would be darker than Lust but that's not the case.  Ransom is actually brighter, while Lust is a little bit deeper with added shimmer.  

Continuing with the purple I picked up an eyeshadow in the color Omen. It's a lovely duotone of purple and blue and is going to look absolutely gorgeous on the lower lash line!

Surprise, surprise.  More purple!  I've never owned any of the Deluxe eyeshadows by UD they of course do not disappoint.  They are, just like all UD shadows, ridiculously smooth and I'm sure will blend like a dream. I just love how cute that packaging is!  The blue is Peace and the purple is Ransom and they were only $4.00!  That's just craziness.  

Another product I had never tried before from UD was their cream blush.  I got the color Fetish and I was a little scared it would be way too dark from the look on the website, but that's totally not the case.  It looks dark in the packaging but it actually goes on a lot lighter!  I think this will be perfect for the 'natural flush' look and can't wait to try it out!

I feel like there should be some kind of awesome and exciting music to show the last product.  I definitely saved the best for last.  The new Revolution Lipstick.  O. M. G.  It is absolutely AMAZING.  This color is Turn On and it is GORGEOUS.  It's the prettiest medium colored pink and glides on like a dream.  It's ridiculously creamy and pigmented. Once these hit stores in my area, I'm definitely going to be checking out the other colors in the line!

If you liked any of the products I ordered a few are actually still on sale!  ;)

Have you tried or plan to try Urban Decay's new lipsticks?

What's your favorite makeup brand?

Oh snap! I went shopping... again!

Since moving to the Houston area husband has been spoiling me left and right and I'm not complaining!  I usually go by myself but every now and then we'll strap the kids into the stroller and take a family trip to our local mall. I had been eyeing a Fossil watch for the past two weeks and hinting about it and husband finally gave me those three little words of 'go get it' and I was doing flips.  IT'S SO PRETTY.  I love it!!  Let me quit blabbing and show you the goods along with a few other things I picked up.  

Ahhh, I just love it so much! Let's just take a minute to appreciate it for a minute...........Okay that's long enough. :)  I have another watch from Fossil that's rose gold with links and it's pretty fancy so I wanted something a little toned down for everyday wear.  This one is the Heather Three Hand Leather Watch in Grey although I think it's more of a grey/brown but I kinda love that because it will literally go with anything. According to the website the strap is also interchangeable which is a pretty nice feature if you wanted to get a different size or color.  If you are on a little more of a budget or if you don't quite want to spend $115 on a watch there's a sale going on at Fossil and you can get the Heather Three Hand Leather Watch in Brown for $79.99! You're welcome ;)

SO PRETTY!

Next place we went was Urban Outfitters.  We didn't have one where I used to live in Louisiana so I'm kind of obsessed.  I picked up the Love You Always Necklace which was actually on sale for $4.99 (SCORE!) and the Snowbunny Delicate Stone Necklace for $16.00.  They look super cute alone or layered with each other.  The only problem I have is the chain on the Love necklace is a little stiff but it was only $5 so I guess I can't complain too much. I also picked up another 'midi' ring.  I already have 2 from UO and I wear them pretty much every day.  This one has a black stone with gold detailing, it fits perfectly, and it was also husband's favorite! 

As we were walking our way back through the mall to leave, husband spotted Aldo and noticed they were having a sale and pointed it out to me. I was content with what I already had and he throws shoes at me.  Best. Husband. Ever.  I found 'fancy' flip flops on sale for $29.  These may not be 'fancy' to some people but I walk around in the rubber ones most days so this is definitely considered fancy to me.  In reality they weren't that great of a sale because they were only $5 off but whatever they're cute. 

I'm staring to see a pattern with gold here... 

All that shopping worked up an appetite so we hit up The Cheesecake Factory.  Way back when husband and I were first dating we took a trip to Austin to visit his grandma and tried it out and had a pretty good experience.  This time?  Not so much.  

Fruit flies.  I HATE fruit flies.  I deal the every day struggle of keeping the little bastards out of my house.  I DO NOT want to see them when I'm eating at a restaurant.  Yuck.  Husband ordered the summer spring rolls and they were very attracted to it.  Not my favorite.   I'm not one for cold food but it was okay...until I tried what I think was peanut sauce.  Barf. I got past the way it looked and the fact that it was cold but I could not for the life of me eat anymore after that peanut sauce. 

I really hate when restaurants have a menu that's 20 pages long.  I felt overwhelmed and ended up ordering the shrimp and bacon sandwich.  If you are on a diet avoid this.  I know the bacon would probably be an indicator of not healthy but holy mayo and bread! Tons of mayo and 3 slices of bread.  I could barely put it in my mouth. (That's what she said) I took a few bites then picked at it.  Again, not my fav. We probably wont be making another trip to eat here because none of us really enjoyed it.  We did get a turtle cheesecake that I thought was okay but nothing special. 

That pretty much concludes our day Sunday.  We spent the rest of the day relaxing until it was time for the kids to go to bed so we could watch True Blood.  Which I am loving by the way.  Yes I am from Louisiana and no I do not speak like that. Just in case you were wondering ;)

Enough about me.  How was your day?
