Summer Haul

Summer is quickly approaching and I could not be anymore excited! :) I've recently been picking up items here and there to prepare for the upcoming warm months. 

Let's start off with the clothes.

Bought this about a month ago at Abercrombie & Fitch. The fit is so nice. Looks sorta like a halter top from the front but the back is completely covered. 

Fitting room :) 

On to crop top number 2! Sadly, the picture washes out it's true color. In person it's more of a minty green/blue. It was the ruffles that caught my eyes lol.   

H&M

Can't go wrong with a white tee! This one is cropped with a boxy cut, edgy but still casual. My new go to comfy white tee. 

H&M

I was on the search for the perfect pair of distressed denim for weeks! Finally, I stumbled upon this beauty as I was ready to leave Forever 21. "Sometimes you find what you're looking for when you least expect it..." Lol jk! But seriously these were the last pair! I was so ecstatic, can't wait to style these.

H&M

What's summer without swimwear?? Soooo I was contemplating on whether or not to invest in a Triangl bikini because they are quite pricey! Instead I opted for a dupe version of it. These are from aliexpress.com.

They surprisingly fit really well! Shipping took awhile, almost a month. It was packaged neatly. Although the top piece did come with a few creases it evened out after a few days. Now I really want to invest in the real Triangl bikini after the great outcome of this pair. Ohh the struggle of a broke college student... Haha

This next pair is from Target. The top has this faux leather look to it, which makes me feel like a badass. Lol! The white bottom is pretty standard, nothing really special. Just wanted it to match with every other top I own. 

Now these were found in the clearance section, so don't overlook that area cause you'll occasionally find some treasures there. :) 

Target

Okay...so...I splurged on this bag and I don't regret it at all! A girl can never have enough bags, believe that. Longchamp totes are great because the material is durable and they fit SO MUCH STUFF!! This particular one has a detachable strap which turns it into a cross-body bag.  

I've been using this as my everyday bag and I'm in love. <3 

Link to purchase.

 

Here it is in an #ootd post on my Instagram. @jessaohh  

My go to nail color lately has been 'Mint Sorbet' by Sally Hansen. It's the perfect minty green shade! The formula is pretty opaque for a such a light color. You should be good to go with 2 coats. 

MINT! MINT! MINT! 

The last item I would like to mention is this moisturizer. This is the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. 

It contains hyaluronic acid which just sucks all of the moisture into your skin! The formula is so light and smooth! A little goes a looooong way! I think this is going to be perfect for summer because it makes my skin feel super hydrated and it soaks in quickly so there's no need to wait for it to set. I can't even explain the texture of the product, it's like jelly! 

I bought mine from Target for about $18, kinda pricey for a drugstore product, but it's worth it! 

  

Now that you've made it to the end of this post I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read it. I hope you have a great day...or night whichever haha. Be sure to be on the look out for future posts. Also follow me on Instagram @jessaohh :)

Mini Beauty Haul

Hello everyone! How I've missed writing blogs! <3 But I'm back with a haul :)

'Riri Hearts M·A·C -Hibiscus Kiss'

        So...this finally came in the mail today! Isn't the packaging gorgeous?! Rose gold is such a perfect Fall color. Sadly, my camera makes the blush look more red-ish/orange-y but its not. It's actually a lighter coral color in person. The bronzer has a matte finish.
         I haven't had a chance to swatch the blush and bronzer because it looks too pretty to use. LOL! But I will use it don't worry :) I ordered this on Nordstrom since it was sold out on the M·A·C website. 

The Balm- 'Balm Shelter' 

          I also recently got this tinted moisturizer by The Balm. I've been wanting to try products from The Balm because I've heard many great things about this brand. And thankfully my local Kohl's renovated and began to carry brands such as The Balm, Lorac, Studio Gear, etc. :) 
          This tinted moisturizer is so nice! It goes on very smoothly and provides a light coverage. Although it does have a slight sunscreen smell. I don't have a lot of time in the mornings before class so this has been great! Foundation takes up way too much time and then you have to use a foundation brush and blend away! But with this you just apply it using your fingers and it looks great! 

         College is so much work and I miss summer more each day! But I don't mind Autumn, trees change colors and the weather gets cooler. I love sweaters, hoodies, and leggings! AND... the holidays are slowly approaching! My birthday and Christmas are only 11 days apart! :) AND... I love winter time because snow makes everything look so dreamy. 

Thank you for stopping by and have an amazing day! :) <3
 

Quick Update

Hello everyone! I have not been able to check or update my blog for the past couple weeks and I am sooooo sorry. School and work are taking up so much of my time. Although I have ideas for future posts and I promise I'll try to get them up as soon as possible! :) Talk to you all soon and have a great day! 
 

Review: NYX Precious Pearls

I've been wanting the 'Caviar Manicure' by Ciate. It's kit with a bottle of nail polish and a bottle of very tiny beads. It is a bit pricey at $25. So while I was on the Nordstrom website I stumbled upon the NYX Precious Pearls which was $10. I decided to get the NYX instead of the Ciate since I wasn't sure if I'd like the look on my nails plus it cost a lot less.

NYX Precious Pearls had 3 colors: black, white, and black & white. Although Ciate's Caviar Manicure comes in a wider range of colors.

On my ring finger.

I ended up really loving the way it looked on my finger. The white polish is very opaque and the pearls stuck on when sprinkled over the wet polish. Try to pack on as much pearls as possible for a clean look. Also apply a thin layer of top coat at the end so it'll last longer. Mine lasted for 5 days, on the 5th day some pearls began to come off. 

Overall I really enjoyed this kit and will hopefully purchase the black one too! :) Thank you for stopping and have a great day!  

Nails

Hello everyone! I haven't posted a blog in awhile since I've been super busy lately. Anyways, I wanted to share a picture of my nails with you guys. :)

Essie- Mint Candy Apple and Sally Hansen- Berry Juicy

I really can't believe that it's already August and that summer is slowly coming to an end. :( Time truly does move incredibly fast. Enjoy and thank you for stopping by.

Love,

Summer Beauty Essentials

Its currently summer where I live. Some days its hot and sunny, then humid and sticky, or thunder-storming. Here are a few items I love for this season:

The first item is the NYX Stick Blush. Since its wax based it stays on for a long period of time. Wax helps it stay in place and its super blendable! Not only is it a blush but can also be used on the lips. I like to apply it on my lips using my finger. I have it in 'Tea Rose'. Perfect for tan skin tones.

Blend it onto the cheeks using your clean finger :)

Next is this Stila liquid eyeliner. It is waterproof and smudge proof. Although I haven't tested it out in the pool or at the beach, it really is smudge proof and long lasting! The pointed felt tip is really useful when creating a cat eye look.

 The sun can be really harmful on the skin and unfortunately I'm really lazy when it comes to applying sunscreen. bareMinerals has a translucent mineral veil with SPF 25. This product can applied all over the face after you've completed your makeup. It helps protect your face from the sun and prevents oiliness.

Moisturize! This hand cream by Soap & Glory smells divine! This product is useful all year long! It has a light, sweet, and fresh scent. I bought the travel sized one so I could carry it around in my bag. :) Yes its a hand cream but I use all over my body, wherever dryness occurs. Lol. 

 

 What beauty products have you been loving? :) Thank you for reading my blog and enjoy your day!
