Hi All!

So last week I mentioned that I went to the new Primark store that opened in Downtown Crossing in Boston. It is Primark’s first US store and they are already planning on launching two more locations in Massachusetts. As I’ve mentioned many times on my blog I spent last semester in London, England and Primark became one of my go-to stores so when I found out they were opening one in my backyard I was ecstatic! The store is in an amazing 4 story location that used to be home to Filene’s and is so clean and organized. The store had so many people working that it never got really dirty or messy and everything was always folded nicely.

Primark was filled with their autumn line and I picked up a few piece: 

Hope you enjoyed this haul!

See you soon!

Hello All!

Last week I placed my first order with Colour Pop Cosmetics. Color Pop has been all over the blog world this past year and they are very reasonably priced so I thought it was time to try the brand for myself. Even though my love for lip products can boarder on obsessive I noticed that I don’t have too many fall shades in my collection so I thought I would fill the void with Colour Pop.

I ended up purchasing 2 Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks and 2 Lippie stix. Also, when you sign up you get $5 off your first order which pays for shipping which is nice.

The shades I got are (top to bottom): Beeper (liquid lipstick), LAX (liquid lipstick), Tiger (lippie stix), Poison (lippie stix).

Overall I really like the hippie six. Poison is a perfect red for autumn and winter and is very buildable and Tiger is a great subtle berry shade for daytime fall looks. The lippie stix are very moisturizing and comfortable on your lips.

 

The Ultra matte liquid lipsticks were a little too matte for me though. They dried too fast which made it impossible to fix little mistakes and the applicator wasn’t good at making precise lines. Also when dry the lipstick feels like chalk on your lips and you can see every crack and dry area on my lips (which during the fall time is a lot). Most liquid lipsticks are quite dry so I was expecting it to be but this is extreme. I am going to keep playing around with the liquid lipsticks because I really like the colors so I hope the product grows on me.

Have you tried any products from Colour Pop? Tell me about your experience!

See you soon!

P.S. those selfies though.

This past weekend I decided to go home for the weekend because it was my mom’s birthday and I wanted to celebrate it with her.

We went into Boston and wandered around Downtown Crossing before heading over to East Boston for dinner. I dressed casual for the day. I wore a t-shirt dress from Target with a flannel from Uniqlo tied around my waist, some black riding boots and a black faux-leather backpack from Forever 21.

I wanted to hit up the new Primark store that recently opened in Boston. It's Primark’s first store in The States and I have been patiently waiting for the store to open since I left London in May. Primark was everything I hoped for and more. It was amazing, they had crowd control so it wasn’t a complete mob scene which is nice because if you have ever been to the Oxford Street store in London you know it can be hell. I picked up quite a few things there so expect a haul soon!

While we were in Boston for the day we decided to go to our favorite restaurant in East Boston called Rino’s Place. It’s an amazing Italian restaurant that always has a long wait because the place is so small but the food is delicious. We found out about the restaurant awhile ago from it being featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. We got there at 5 and had to wait about an hour which worked out for the perfect dinner time. We started with a calamari appetizer which is amazing and I highly recommend getting it. Then for my main course I got gnocchi which was to die for. Also their portion sizes are huge so you get quite a few meals out of it.


I hoped you liked this post!

See you soon!

I am so excited for Autumn to begin in New England. Autumn is my favorite time of year and one of the reasons is the clothes. I love some good layering and sweater weather. A website I frequent for clothes a lot is Asos so I thought I would show you what has caught my eye over the past few weeks.

This week I have been hyper-aware of all the bad habits I have been making. After waking up still wearing make-up a few days in a row and being burt to a crisp on a hot day I decided to make a list of all my bad beauty habits and try to make the effort to change them.

What are some of your bad beauty habits? Tell me in the comments!

See you soon!
