Recent Purchases 4.16.12

Check out my recent purchases. Slowly but surely I'll get through my wishlist.

Too Faced Naked Eye Palette. Find it here. I picked this up because my urban decay naked palette has all of the warm tones covered, but I was lacking in the cool toned colors. I love these convenient palettes that you can easily take with you. 

Too Faced Candlelight Glow Duo. Find it here. My sister has the original and it doesn't even compare. This is the perfect subtle glow that I have been looking for. 

MAC Extra Dimension Highlighter in Supurb. Find it here. This is not at all a subtle highlighter, but its great to have in your collection when you want that bolder highlight look. There are three color options but I liked the rose gold look of this one. It's back in stock- grab it while you can!

Ray Ban 3026. So excited I finally decided on a pair of sunglasses! I was originally eyeing the Ray Ban 3025, but when I found a random pair of 3026's at my local sunglass hut I HAD to have them! They are a bit "oversized" but thats just what I was looking for. Definitely check out these sunnies. Find them here.

Laura Mercier Mineral Powder

Say hello to my new love. I used to be a Bare Minerals user, but I've noticed recently that it tends to dry out my skin. After watching a video or two where LegallyBrunette214 RAVED about this, I had to have it. 

I was almost tempted not to get it because of the $35 price tag, but after finally trying it out in the store, I was sold. It provides the perfect amount of coverage & it really seems to even out my skin tone. 

If you are a fan of mineral foundations and you've been itching for a change- I definitely recommend this product!

 You can find it here. 

Shoes.

I think I have a slight obsession. All I think about lately is shoes. Here are two of the latest additions...

First up: Tory Burch Caroline Patent Ballet Flats in Camille Pink. After Laura from Buy Now Blog Later blogged about these, I had to have them. They are the perfect nude flat and they go with everything.$225 was a bit out of my budget- so I ended up scoring a much cheaper (and slightly worn) pair off of eBay. They worked out great because they were already worn in! 

Next up: The Kate Spade Tipsy dupes I was looking for. They add the perfect splash of neon to any outfit. Can't wait to sport these in the spring. I found this pair at a Banana Republic outlet for $25 (half off the $50 retail). 

I legit need to start getting rid of some of my shoes to make room for the new ones that have been making their way to check out counters with me!

Las Vegas Eats

So I just got back from a business trip to Vegas and while it's not as fun as going there for pleasure, I did get the chance to eat some pretty awesome things. 

Besides showing you the basics....

I'll show you my good eats...

Escargot at Bally's Steakhouse

Lobster Mac & Cheese at Bally's Steakhouse

Grilled Chicken Panini with Waffle fries dusted with Chili & Cocoa powder (holy YUM.) at Max Brenners

Buffalo Chicken Dip at Holsteins- HIGHLY recommend this place

Fried Pickles at Holsteins

Brown Cow- alcoholic MILKSHAKE (root beer, vanilla ice cream, pop rocks, myer's rum) at Holsteins

Capellini Il Mulino at Il Mulino- delicious, and they give you like 5 free appetizers before your meal comes

Frozen MINT Hot Chocolate at Serendipity's- had to finally try this & it was amazing

I hope I gave you a few good ideas if you're headed to Vegas soon. Am I the only person that likes to "eat" their way through a vacation?!!?
