NOTD: Pure Ice "Pink Ice"

This is my first time using this nail polish. It kind of just sat in the back of my nail polish stash. I guess I was being a brand snob and was just using brands I was familiar with. For what it is, I like this nail polish. It is very sheer. I applied 2 coats and a clear top coat before I took photos. I would probably end up using this polish as a baby pink glittery top coat. It's not obnoxiously glittery, but it is a fun thing to do possibly on an accent nail (which are very in at the moment, I have noticed...) The consistency was nice and it doesn't look too streaky. My final thoughts on this polish? It wasn't anything special, but it wasn't terrible either.

A look at the packaging- I actually really like the square shape.

OOTW: First Week of School!

Since my first week was actually just two days, there are only two outfits to show.

This first outfit is a simple but pretty outfit incorporating a unique purpley-blue color top, fringed and pleated shorts, and brown leather strap wedges. 

Since the top has cutouts in the front, it is crucial to wear a cami underneath. This one matched perfectly! It is $3.50 at Old Navy! 

This top was around $10-14 from Forever 21. I can't quite remember the exact price. The cutouts turn a simple tank top into a unique piece.

So Wedges from Kohl's

So Shorts from Kohl's

This second outfit is also pretty simple but has fun pops of color on the top. The shorts are plain dark blue denim. The beige & camel colored sandals are T strap sandals from Wet Seal. 

Top is from Kohl's (Lauren Conrad section). Sorry about the lighting!

Hope you guys enjoyed this OOTW! :) 

NOTD: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Mauve It"

This is my all time favorite nail polish. The consistency is nice- not too thin or watery. It is a tad bit on the gloopy side but it doesn't impact the application. When you start painting your nails with it, it may look a little streaky but as it dries it becomes much more even looking. My favorite thing about this nail polish is how versatile it is. You can wear this in every season, which I like. It's pink and girly enough to be worn in the spring and summer, but it also has a dusty rose tone to it which makes it suitable for fall and winter as well.

Blog Haul: Skincare and Haircare Items!

L-R: Infusium23 Frizz Control Leave-in Conditioner, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit foaming scrub, Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo

So far, I have been enjoying all of these products. The standout product of this group is the Infusium23 Leave-in Conditioner. It made my hair so shiny and smooth and extremely easy to comb through. My hair is usually extremely difficult to comb through because it tangles so much, but after using this I combed through it all in about 5-10 minutes. It also controlled my frizz and fly-away. I love this product and could immediately tell a difference after using it.

I am also liking the Acne Wash. I like how it has exfoliating beads, cleanses well, and has salicylic acid in it to treat acne. It's pretty much a 3 in 1 product! It cleanses and exfoliates really well and my skin feels smooth after I use it.

I'm not really noticing much of a difference with the shampoo, but I have only tried it once so far.

If you guys own any of these products, tell me whether you like them or not! :)

OOTD: Errand Running!

I decided to put a tad bit more effort into my outfit a couple Saturdays ago. My family and I went to do a few errands (IKEA, being one of them- that's not exactly relevant to this post but I'm obsessed with IKEA).

Sorry for it being tilted (Holding a straight camera with one hand is difficult!)

I'm wearing a crochet knit top from Kohl's (the brand of the shirt is Eyelash Couture). It's a pretty cream color but it's a bit too large for me so I paired it with a white stretchy tank top underneath. I'm also wearing a pair of denim shorts with fringe on the ends. I love roughing up an outfit with fringe shorts.
