my recent purchases (ulta, b&bw, chanel, aldo, target, anthro)

Hi ladies! I did a bit of shopping this past weekend... It was so much fun to let loose a bit, as funds have been tight lately, and I haven't been able to have a fun shopping weekend like this in a loooong time.

Of course, as always I had some assistance in the making of this post!

Sammy: "Is there Chanel in there? I like Chanel..."

Both: "If we stare enough, she will acknowledge our cuteness with treats."

One more for the road!



Thanks for reading. Love you guys!

  9. Awesome haul. Those flats are super cute (I have some kinda like 'em!) and I love every lip color you picked. I have a major weakness for pinks. Would you consider doing a review on the JF Lightening Spray? I've been eyeballing it every time I go in to Ulta and REALLY want to try it out!

  11. You always have the best hauls! I'm definitely picking up that lemon and ginger lip balm soon and based on all of your awesome Halloween B&BW goodies (isn't it kind of early, btw?), it looks like I just need to stock up on the whole store now!

  12. Thanks for all your kind comments, ladies! Sammy & Mouse are loving all this attention. :)

    Jess - I had a feeling you might have found that gem already - you're the queen of lip balms in my eyes! :D

    WitchHazel - I'll definitely post something about my results/experience with the John Frieda spray. I've been using it the past four days, and so far so good! There are some pretty informative reviews and blogposts out there already, too - that's what gave me the final push to try it!

    Tiffany - You're talking to a girl who infamously puts up the Christmas tree in October!! haha (Although, with the kitties, don't think that'll be happening!!) There were two other flavors of the lip balm, too - I'm so happy with this one that I want to try the Lemon & Strawberry one now, too! They're pretty much always buy 2, get 1 free, which is nice, too. They also had lots of new Slatkin candles! :)
