JC Penney Jewelry Haul

I scored a few items from JC Penney's after Christmas sale.  I've had my eye on jewelry from the MNG by Mango, but it had been out of my price range until now.  If only the clothes would go on clearance...sigh.  Anywhere, here are the items I picked up:

New Year's Eve Looks

New Year's Eve is the biggest night of the year for me. It's the one night of the year where I know that I'm going to go out, have a good time, and look as fly as possible lol.  My NYE plans have been finalized, so now it's time to plan my outfit! I've come up with 3 looks based on dresses that I already have in my closet.


Option 1:

Platforms at Neiman Marcus
Bracelets by Bebe

Pigment & Lipstick: Hautelook Haul

Have you heard of HauteLook, aka my new best friend? HauteLook is a website that hosts sale events by top brands in apparel, beauty, and home, and even offers travel deals.  I've seen deals discounted anywhere from 30-75% off of retail price, but most of the beauty products have been at least 50% off.  In the past few weeks, they have featured events by Urban Decay, Stila,  Luminess Air Beauty, Too Faced Beauty, and NYX Cosmetics.  Here are a few items I scooped up:

Urban Decay Original Primer Potion

 

Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer

Stila Prime Color Set

Stila One Step Make-Up Foundation

Stila Pro Artist Palette

Crown Brush 10 Matte & Shimmer Blush Palette

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas! Hope your day is filled with family, food, fellowship, and joy!

A Ladi's Tresses: Today's Hair

For this style I just pulled my hair back into a banana clip.  To achieve this texture on the ends, I slept with my hair in about 8 twists (no rollers on the ends) and tucked the twists under a bonnet. In the morning, I just took aloose each twist with a little oil on my hands, and fluffed to create more volume.
