Jewelry Haul

hey B-bloggers! If you entered in my Giveaway then you will know about a place called Glitter. I love their cheap little jewelry - I usually get rings and key chains and when I went shopping for you guys, I picked up some other stuff for Christmas as well! I just wanted to show it off, hope you enjoy

I think im going to keep to Owl tho. I gave my bff Alex my other pink/silver owl I bought so I think it's justifiable! It was for the give-away but it broke, so I didnt wanna give you some banged up freakin ring, haha

the polish im wearing is Blue It by Sally Hansen which I will be posting a NOTDay or week soon with that color and another for the "accent" finger!

and yes, I plugged my give-away 2x in this short post and I think it's safe to say I am becoming shameless about it! If you haven't checked it out you should! All you have to do to enter is follow & comment! Easy enough for some free elf & bath & body works stuff!

that's about it! short one! As always, Thanx for reading guys!

xoxo, Erica J (:

Meet Makeup's First Contest!

I have been wanting to give back to you guys for some time and what other time would be a good time to do it then when I hit 100 + followers?!

Thank you guys for all of your support!! I never thought my blogging would have improved and came to what it is today (: thanx guys-I dont have alot of money but I do what I can for you guys, so I really hope you guys love your prizes!!! I know I do!

I dont think a give-away can really express my gratefulness! Blogging for me has become a passion and for all of you that take time out of your day to read what I have to say about beauty products and the like- *big hugs*! A lot of you even go a step further and comment, which makes me a really exited girl (: I read every. single. comment. I cannot thank you guys enough for all of your kind words! Your the best!

p.s. the butterfly ring in the above picture broke so I went and picked up the key chain you will see once you scroll down some more

Here's everything I will be giving away:

4 ELF Eyeshadow Duo's and an Eyeshadow Brush - This is one thing I wanted to keep, hahaha!! I Love, Love, Love ELF stuff, & these color's look so creamy and beautiful. When deciding on what to get you guys, I knew these would be a hit! I dont think there isn't one makeup lover out there that wouldn't appreciate these shadows! I took them out of the box to photograph them only! I didn't stick my little paws in there to swatch them (even tho I wanted to because they look so pretty!) I have some ELF shadows and I am very pleased with the color payoff so these are going to be great.

here they all are close up:

((I also ordered some ELF brushes and I am also pleased with their brushes. I haven't had any issues with shedding and they are all very soft. I know this brush will not be an exception))

ELF Lip Gloss's- Again, wasn't sure exactly what colors to give away, and when I seen this gift set, I realized I can see myself wearing all of them! I hope you guys will enjoy them! All of the color's are so festive for the holiday's coming up! There is a bubbly red, some pinks, and even a gold color!

Heart Key Chain- I have one myself, and I love it. There is a place in the mall near me (Southern Park Mall, actually) called Glitter where they sell accessories really cheap & I always love going in there for cute little stuff like this.

B&BW Anti-Bacterial Hand Lotion in Vanilla Bean Noel & Pink Sugarplum - I thought these were neat because they were antibacterial and also a lotion! I went to get you guys my favorite mini candles but they are dis-continued!!! can you believe it???

Mini Haul

So do people do haul's in a blog? ive seen them on youtube but never on a blog but im just gunna go for it because its my blog and...

BTW: why does the pictures say 2009? so weird, right? i took those last weekend!!!Well the first thing is definitely first! back in '07 when i worked at Victoria's Secret they came out with this awesome perfume called Sexy Little Things & I got to have one for like $5! I loved it ever since but also have not bought it since so I decided to pick one up (Below is my Body Spray $10)

Everybody has there favorites from Victoria's for instance my Bff Alex loves Sexy Little Things Noir and that scent reminds me of her.

Pink reminds me of high school. I love those scents that literally bring you right back to a time or a place or a feeling. That's Pink for me. My absolute favorite tho is Ralph By Ralph Lauren. this was the first perfume I ever bought (I was like probably 11 guys) and ever since then idk what it is about it but it has always been my go-to. I kinda think the Sexy Little Things reminds me of Ralph alot. Sexy Little Things is Very Fruity/Floral as is Ralph. They have the same top note in common which is green apple (I love green apples! who woulda thought?) and they have a similar bottom note which is musk.

Comment: Tell me which one you like better or if you think they do smell alike or tell me if there's another out there that smells just like them! I would love to know!Now, on to the next one. There's this place in my mall (Southern Park Mall) its called glitter where everything is $1! Its all just jewelry but its a great place here what i found there:

This bracelet is probably my favorite thing for a buck:

                                       These 3 Bracelets came 2gether along with these earrings:

         Costume Rings: I like the star- so cute. I also love how they have the different color gems

                                                          Last 2 are earrings obviously

The heart is a keychain ring. Its so cute! For a buck you cant beat it! I lost my last set of keys and my b/f Philly got me a key chain in Germany  - It was a Pendant of my Last Name and what it means & our last name "coat of arms" I loved it so miss and I needed something cute to add to my new ones. What do you all think?? what was your favorite item?
