every wander

Here's to another month! Updates on the items I bought in February ( typed up on 4/24/2018 )  Goodwill haul:  I have worn the back pack, jeans, and blue slacks.  I have not yet worn the twins shirt, Hawaiian shirt, or altered the white T-Shirt. I did find a stain on the white shirt though.  Walmart haul:  I've used up the wipes already and should buy more next month. Orchid still hasn't bloomed, but a tiny new leaf is growing.  Kohl's haul:  I haven't worn the earrings or the hat yet... Goodwill #2 haul:  I was able to wear the heels to a wedding a couple weekends ago, but I'm still waiting for better weather to wear the shorts and brown shoes.  Mall haul: I've probably worn all of the undies. I don't remember where I put the tiny lotion...but it's gotta be somewhere in my room unused still. I haven't tried the Glam mini items. The CC It cosmetics foundation is alright, it might be too light for my skin. I've decided that I'...

I'm not sure if this happens to everyone (tell me if I'm the only one), but while buying gifts for others during Christmas I seem to manage to buy myself quite a few things as well. I feel like it's such a bad habit! But, I guess, after spending money on others (and seeing deals!), I feel a bit more justified in buying things for myself as well. Any who, I'm just sharing a few things I picked up for myself this year during my X-mas shopping ventures from Nordstrom Rack, Forever 21, and Target. Note : I did buy actual Christmas presents for other people at each store too  😂 The below are mix and matched outfits from my buys at Nordstrom Rack, Forever 21, and Target.  I actually wore the above outfit for Christmas Eve.  I super like this dress/shirt from Nordstrom Rack. I feel like it gives 70s vibes. Also these pants from Target are the perfect burnt orange color. I somewhat "styled" it with a few other shirts below. The above...

Those online store ads on Facebook and Instagram actually got me! Below is my quick review on a couple of my recent online store purchases from Zaful and Goodmanity. Zaful  The handful of items purchased. This shirt seems like pretty alright quality. The label also states that it's sweatshop free, which is awesome. ($14.25) This sweater is quite cute! The color and fit are both very nice. The packaging was also sleek in the Zaful ziplock bag. ($16.99). I'm not one to spend much on clothes, so $16.99 was kind of expensive to me, but this sweater is unique and worth it. You definitely get what you paid for. When I put on the first necklace (gold without the bead - $2.56), one of the metal circles was too loose and it fell apart. Although it was an easy fix with putting the metal back into the circle, it's definitely not something that should be necessary to do when you buy an item. The other two necklaces have not broken (yet). Overall though, the necklaces are...

Stylenanda advertised their free worldwide shipping on any purchase on Instagram last week and I just couldn't resist myself from buying something. I've been wanting to try their products ever since I heard about the company last year. I decided to get some of the basics:        Some sunnies, earrings, lip stain, nail polish, and brow liner. I'm already loving all of the products! The sunglasses fits asian faces very well and feel really sturdy. The lip stain goes on nicely and the color pops out immediately! It's a different sort of applicator than I'm use to, but it's really nice. The color Obsessed is the perfect shade of red for my skin tone. It's long lasting and barely smudges. I've been seeing this type of earring all over social media, so I'm excited to wear them out. I feel like they are simple and elegant, yet edgy.    The nail color is so pretty. The picture below is with only one coat on and that is all that...

I always get dragged into stores by their coupons. ULTA sends you 3.50 off of a $10 purchase coupon monthly and so of course I go there with intentions of just getting things I know I need and would get at Target or Walmart anyways. I purchased the Cetaphil daily facial cleanser I've been wanting to try and a peel-away clay mask. Since I've recently stopped taking birth control pills, my hormones have been reacting and I've been getting pimples all over so I thought I would focus on my face. Cetaphil daily facial cleanser. This product is very soft on the skin. I feel like it isn't doing too much for my skin though. I might just be too use to having a cleanser that is also an exfoliant so it feels like it's not doing as much as my old cleansers. I probably won't be re-purchasing this product. Freeman's Sweet Tea & Lemon Peel Away Clay Mask . I really like this product, even though the peel comes off flimsy and light so you're not really able ...
