Sephora Play!

I love subscription boxes and I've tried a few ranging from beauty products to even food. I've tried boxes that deliver healthy snacks, boxes of candy from Japan, and boxes of different hair and makeup products. They were all great, but when I heard Sephora was going to jump on the subscription box train I had to get my hands on it!

Its called Sephora Play! and because Sephora is my favorite place to test out and buy makeup and hair products, I was pretty excited about the news. I had to stand on a waitlist for a while, but I think the option to subscribe is more readily available now.

Like with most subscription boxes, when I signed up for Sephora Play! I had to fill out a quiz asking things like what type of skin I have, the texture of my hair, and my skin tone. I filled out that I have fair skin that's normal to oily and that one of my main desire from skin products was age defying and anti wrinkle creams. Then you get a box filled with Sephora goodies that are tailored to you and what you like. Getting the box in the mail was like an exciting surprise gift.



And when I opened it, it got even better! Here's what I got in my October box...


Nude Stix Intense Matte Lip+Cheek Pencil in Belle
All-In-One Egg Mellow Cream (firming moisturizer)
Smashbox Lip Gloss
Verb Leave In Mist (hair conditioning spray)
Ski Inc. Pure Revival Peel
Tom Ford Orchid Soleil Perfume


The best part of all of this is the card that comes with the box, which you can take to any Sephora store and get a free one to one tutorial on how to use each product!



This is what, in my opinion, sets this subscription box apart from other beauty boxes like Birchbox. And for $10 a month, it is practically a steal! Who wouldn't want this, honestly? And its a great gift to consider giving someone this holiday season.

I absolutely cannot wait for my November Sephora Play! box!

N.SALE.

RThis time of year is one of my favorite times because of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This is the one time a year I splurge a little on myself because you can find things up to 50%...yes, I said 50! I've gathered some pieces that I think are to most deal worthy, meaning you'd probably never find it at that price again. Everything from clothes to shoes to beauty has an amazing find that you can't miss out on.

This is my favorite find at the N Sale, this gorgeous 70's inspired jumpsuit by ASTR.


I got this for a steal at $58.90 and its regularly priced at $88.

When the N Sale started, I went on the first day and roamed in the store for longer than I'd like to admit haha. And after that, I went back 2 more times and not to mention, I browsed the Nordstrom website too. From all that, I found the most awesome deals in my opinion and here they are!



Click on the photos below to shop the looks...

1. Tory Burch Heidi Ballet Flat: Everyone and their mom has the typical classic black style Tory Burch flats, but these ones are a little more unique, and that is what I'm all about when I shop...getting unique, eye catching pieces. These flats have a a really cool metallic/pewter snake print with a silver Tory Burch embellishment. This shoe, and even the classic black version, is normally $250-300, but during the N Sale you can cop these for $164.90.



2. Phase 3 Double Banded Wool Fedora: I've wanted a wool fedora like this for a long time, but I was never able to find one that I thought had a proper sized brim...I know, I can be really picky! But this one was the perfect size and I loved the color. It's a really great accessory to have for the upcoming fall. On sale, this hat is $19.90, but after the sale ends it will go back up to $38.


3. Movado Bold Crystal Accent Watch: Leather strap bands on watches are really in style...it's time to retire you Michael Kors watches. This Movado watch is really modern and the rose gold makes it also really chic. My favorite part is the crystal accent on the face! Movados usually have a high price range, this watch is normally $550, but during the N Sale you can get it for $329.90.


4. Kate Spade Forever Stud Earrings: These earrings are simple but really elegant. It adds a really great pop of bling to literally any outfit. Before the sale, these earrings are $38, but get them before the sale is over for $24.90.


5. Alice + Olivia Katt Print V Neck Caftan Minidress: Alice + Olivia is one of my favorite designers, but most of their stuff is a little out of my price range, so I was so thrilled when I saw this super cute dress on sale. It's the perfect dress for upcoming Labor Day parties. This dress is on sale for $265.90, and after the sale ends it will go back up to $398.


6. Foreo Luna Mini Compact Facial Cleansing Device: There's only so deep your hands can clean your face and that's what electronic face cleaning devices are for. This one is compact and really great for travelling. For the low price of $74, you can't miss out on it. After sale price: $99.


7. Louise et Cie Jael Suede and Leather Bag: This two toned bag is so perfect for a fall look. The juxtaposition of suede next to leather is so beautiful and so is the geometric shape of it. It's on sale for $169.90, regular price $258.


8. Tom Ford Makeup Set: This is probably my favorite find, because Tom Ford anything is usually through the roof expensive so I was so shocked to see a full makeup set on sale. And you'll be happy to know...they are all full sized! No mini lipsticks or tiny mascaras. This is the real thing people! It comes with a full sized lipstick, full sized mascara, and illuminating primer. It's on sale for $98.



There are 2 weeks left of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so get out there and shop! Don't miss out on these amazing deals and more. Happy shopping!

70s Vibes.

I love when fashion from different eras come back in style, and I'm loving that this season various pieces from the 90s and the 70s are back! This weekend, I recreates a 70s look during a visit to LACMA with some pretty basic pieces, and I really liked the way it turned out.



I've always stuck to skinny jeans ever since I can remember, but I found some really cute flare jeans and thought, "why not shake it up and change up my look?". They are actually a lot more comfortable than my skinnies. I almost can't believe I waited this long to try a different jean cut.



I paired my new jeans with a ringer tee that I found at Cotton On, which has a 2 for $25 sale on tee shirts going on right now. Everyone knows how much I love LA, so when I saw this shirt I knew I had to have it. It's a cute little pun. Ringer tees are quintessential 70s. I can imagine people back then wearing them on the beach or to a roller rink ha ha!



I completed my look with a simple bright orange-ish red lip, modern aviator sunnies, and cognac colored platforms. Lips brought to you by NARS matte pencil in Red Square.
