If you didn't know, last week Bath and Body Works was having their candles on sale for only $8. It was an amazing deal but I had a 30% off coupon from living social so I paid less then $8. The only upsetting thing about it was that I didn't get the chance to go to Bath and Body Works until late Friday night so most of the candles had already been picked through. I ended up with only four candles from the Holiday collection but none the less I am pretty happy with the scents I picked up.
Who else gets this excited about candles? I know I'm not the only one and especially at these prices!
With my 30% off coupon I only paid $5.60 per candle. For 4 candles I ended up paying only $24.50. If you as obsessed with candles as I am then check out livingsocial.com because they always have coupons and other great deals.
The first scent I picked up is Cranberry Pear Bellini. It's a nice year round kind of scent but I use to have the wallflower bulb of this and I think I kind of over did the scent. I used it everyday during the summer so I'm kind of over it but it would be nice to burn every now and then.
This scent is described as "Bubbly and delicious - a bright blend of sparkling cranberry, sweet pear nectar and luscious blackcurrant - Cheers!" The description is right on. You can definitely smell the cranberry and the pear nectar. I'm not sure what blackcurrant smells like so I can't really give you a straight answer with that.
The next candle I picked up is in Peach Bellini which was sitting right in front of the entrance and it was just calling my name so I picked it up. This scent is described as "A shimmering holiday twist on a classic blend of white peach, tart blackcurrant and a splash of juicy orange." If you've ever smelt the peach flavored yogurt then that is this candles exact smell. With just a little more bubbly-ness to it.
Third candle I picked up is Twisted Peppermint. This candle is described as "Merry and bright peppermint celebrates the season with notes of vanilla and sugary musk in this cheer-filled scent." If you purchased Marshmallow Peppermint from a few years ago then this smells exactly like that. Just with a little musk, more peppermint, and less vanilla. I personally like it but my husbands thinks it's too sweet. It's a good thing I didn't buy any bakery scented candles or I'm pretty sure he would have flipped out.
This last candle is the one I'm most excited about. It's Sparkling Icicles! This scent is described as "As sparkling as the ice at the local skating pond, this fragrance features a citrus bouquet, bergamot, and a touch of holiday moss." I'm not sure how holiday moss is supposed to smell like but I can definitely smell the bergamot/citrus. But honestly if I were to put this scent in my own words I would say that if Dark Temptations by AXE and Twilight Woods for men by Bath and Body Works were to have a baby, this would be the scent. My husband uses both Dark Temptations and Twilight Woods for men so this smell reminds me of my husband.
Overall I am happy with this purchase and I can not wait to start burning these amazing candles.

Haul: American Eagle & Forever21
I have a pretty big clothing haul for you guys today! I normally don't haul clothing but I think the deals I got are just too good to not say anything. I made three separate orders at two different online stores. The first being Forever21 and the second being American Eagle. I did use ebates.com so I received 2.0% cashback for all my purchases.
My first purchase was from Forever21 and it was a small one. I told myself this was going to be my only clothing purchase. Obviously it didn't work out but I'll start off with what I purchased at Forever21.
These are a pair of distressed skinny jeans that were on sale from the plus size section. If you didn't know then yes, I am bottom heavy and I wear plus size jeans. They were on sale for $12.99 but I saved an extra $1.30 making them $11.69 because ebates had a code to save 10% off all plus size clothes.
This tank is a very basic piece but none the less a must have for every wardrobe. I paid only $5.03 for this.
This lace paneled peplum tank I got for $6.29. Very cute and I love the lace detailing on it.
This here is the happy hour t-shirt. The front of the shirt looks like a normal t-shirt but the back has this cute sheer backside. I paid $10.49 for this shirt but it was too cute to pass up.
These white pair of jeans were from my first order. After all my discounts I paid only $12.59 for them. The blue ones were also $12.59 but they were super cute. I love the embroidered design.
The white and the blue jean farthest to the right are the same jeans from the picture above. The jegging all the way to the left I paid $14.69 for. Nothing special but I need a few more pairs of jeans, jeggings, leggings, in my life so I picked that up. I picked up the second jean from the right as I was in need of a dark wash jean. I no longer have any that fit me so I picked that up for $14.69 also.
The last item I picked up were these really cute lace detailed shorts. I paid only $6.29 which in my mind is pretty good. I love how it kind of fringes at the bottoms so I'm in love.
I think I did exceptionally good. My first American Eagle purchase came up to $101.95 and after the 30% off, I only paid $53.23. My second American Eagle purchase retailed for $114.96 but I only paid $53.03. I am pretty happy with my entire haul and I can not wait to start wearing everything. Thanks for reading I'll see you guys later!

This cardigan is actually the only reason I was placing this order. I don't remember who it was I saw wearing a cardigan like from sheinside that was $30 but honestly I was not about to buy a cardigan for $30. After some searching I found this on Forever21's website on sale for only $18.99. I ended up picking up 2 of them and I'm super excited for having them. They are super soft and snuggle-y.These are a pair of distressed skinny jeans that were on sale from the plus size section. If you didn't know then yes, I am bottom heavy and I wear plus size jeans.

Th last item I purchased from Forever21 are these zippered coated leggings. They are matte and I should have purchased them in a larger size. They fit but are a little snug so I hope with some wear they will stretch and fit a little better than they do now. I purchased these at full price for $13.80. To me it's kind of expensive for a pair of leggings but I was in need of a pair of matte faux leather leggings so at the same time its justifiable.
Now on to what I purchased at American Eagle. Like stated above I wasn't going to make a purchase but since American Eagle was having their friends and family sale I ended up picking up a few things. Almost everything I ordered was from their sale section except one item but I'll get into that later. So, basically if you purchased from the sale/clearance section then you were saving about 60%. No one can really pass up 60% can they?
My most boring purchase and most expensive from my first order is this metallic knit beanie. Even after my 30% off it still came out to be $13.99. I'm in need of a beanie anyways so I can some what justify this purchase since it's getting really chilly here in Arkansas.This tank is a very basic piece but none the less a must have for every wardrobe. I paid only $5.03 for this.

Haul: Tarte 30% Off Sale
I made an order off of Tartes website last week when they were having 30% off their entire website. It was an amazing deal so I ended up picking up three of their blushes. I picked up the colors in Tipsy, Flushed, and Fearless. I forgot to check but I remember adding their bronzer sample for free but for some reason it didn't go through. So today I received my package and I am just very upset and disappointed. There just aren't any words for me to express my disappointment.
When I heard the FEDEX truck I was super excited but it ended up going to my moms house and dropped it off over their. I literally ran there, picked it up and came back home. When I opened the box my heart dropped. Let down number one, apparently I didn't order a deluxe sample of the bronzer which I am pretty sure I had added to my cart. Let down number two was when I opened up the tissue one of my blushes wasn't even a box. I opened it up and obviously it was completely smashed to bits. I opened up the other two blushes to make sure they weren't cracked either. Thankfully they weren't or I would have been a very unhappy camper.
Like I said it's completely broken and theirs possibly no chance of me even saving this blush. I did swatch whatever was left of it. This blush has huge glitter chunks but after swatching it the bigger chucks seemed to fall off and all that was left was the color of the blush and little, itty bitty specks of sparkle that's barely even noticeable with just the slightest sheen. It's actually really pretty but sadly I will probably have to wait a few more days to get it replaced. I have emailed Tartes customer service and hopefully it will all get straightened out soon. Hopefully sooner than later though.
I will have swatches and a full review up after I test out these colors. Thanks for reading and I will see you guys soon.

LEFT: Tipsy
RIGHT: Flushed
Tipsy is a gorgeous matte coral shade. I didn't swatch as I was just too upset to do anymore swatches. Flushed is a berry shade great for fall and winter so I picked that up.I will have swatches and a full review up after I test out these colors. Thanks for reading and I will see you guys soon.
