only the white blouse was from the website, other items already owned

By now I'm sure a lot of you have heard of Dresslink.com and if you haven't then let me tell you a little about it. First off it's an online store based in China and they sell everything from clothes to makeup and jewelry as well as other items such as hand bags and shoes. Everything is super cheap and I discovered a lot of these are the same items  I was "watching" on Ebay.

I am addicted to Ebay. There, I said it and now everyone knows. Admitting it is the first step, right? Ha! Well, not only am I addicted to Ebay but I also love buying items from China. Why? Because most of our stuff is made there anyways and also it's much cheaper. Your first thought? It'll take forever to ship! Not necessarily. On average I receive my items within 2 weeks (totally worth it to me). So these are 2 "statement" necklaces I purchased. Adorable!

I was so tempted to go crazy on the  Victoria's Secret website when they had their semi-annual sale, however I contained myself and only got the 7/$35 VS Fantasies (which is like their body butters and scrubs). They currently have a 5/$30 sale going on so head over here and check it out!

I have honestly never purchased anything from this store except for bras & undies so this will be my first experience with any type of bath/body products. I had no idea what any of the scents were so I relied on the next best thing - packaging! I'm a sucker for anything cute (which most girls are.)

My purchases: 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07

Out of the scents I got, my favorite is Pure Seduction. After reading fragrance description I assumed I'd love this one and was right! And these body butters are amazing! What is your favorite VS scent?

The newest palette from Coastal Scents is the Revealed 2 palette. I've heard this was a dupe for Urban Decay Naked 3, but I don't own one to compare it to. However, I can still give you my opinion.

I have been eyeballing Benefit Cosmetics for quite a while now. The packaging of course is adorable and draws you in at first. I reviewed several products over and over again. These were 4 items that I found cheaper on Ebay than the typical stores I would buy makeup products from. I also have a deluxe sample of Big Easy Better Than BB coming as well (watched/read mixed reviews so only committed to the sample). Looking forward to swatching & testing all of these out!

Say Yes to... various wipes

I made my first drugstore.com purchase earlier this week. They have various sales going on right now and also offer clickable instant coupons (I got $5 off a box of hair color making it only $3.99). Plus if you have a shoprunner.com account like I do, you get free 2 day shipping on a ton of items. So I got all 4 packs of these wipes for $19! I've never tried these before, but wanted to do a review once I have gone through all of them - of course I'll use them one at a time and give my opinions.

Ok random side note: I just logged into my actual shoprunner.com account for the first time (I've only ever used it to get free delivery from Domino's Pizza) and there are tons of deals & places you get free 2 day shipping so I highly recommend checking it out! Plus you get 1 year free Amazon Prime through them as well. Holy cow! Never knew that!

I will make a separate post on my opinions on each of these wipes once I've used them.

FINALLY! Shew, only took like 5 weeks! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Hautelook and have purchased several items off their website (mainly beauty products), but the shipping time is ridiculous plus 90% of the time you can not return an item. I am very slow on theBalm bandwagon. These are my very first purchases ever! I created a previous post a while after I ordered, but just now received my package.

I am very sad because my Cindy-Lou Manizer was all smashed up. Whenever I opened the box I noticed product all over the place and sure enough it's a hot mess! Since no returns on these items I am stuck, but I'll just have to learn to be careful when using. Already swatched everything and am very excited to test these out!

I am newly addicted to studs and rose gold. Eep! I have recently purchased an iphone case, barrel hand bag, necklace, and 2 pair of flats that have studs on them. Overkill? I think not!
