Mall Haul

VICTORIA'S SECRET

This is actually a few weeks old but I thought I might as well mention it. I had a $5 gift card that I got from WRAPP a few weeks ago so I decided to check out what they had. I didn't particularly want anything so I just picked up this Victoria's Secret spray in Heartbreaker.

CHARLOTTE RUSSE

I picked up this black cardigan because it was on sale for $10. It had like a foot print on the shoulder so I guess that was why it was on sale. Super cute transition piece though and I'm happy I picked it up.

I got these set of earrings which are super cute. I got this set mainly for the rose and the studded pair of earrings. They were having a buy 2 for $10 on jewelry so I picked up another set and gave them to my sister-in-law as a birthday gift.

BATH AND BODY WORKS

I purchased this piggy scentportable from bath and body works for my husbands car. The scent my husband picked for his car was the eucalyptus mint. The scent throw isn't too bad but for any of those people who are sensitive and don't like medium to strong smells this would not be for you. It's not too strong but it did give a head ache and took me a few days to get use to. My husband on the other hand was fine with the smell and so were my kids.

As for the scent itself I'm not sure on how to describe it. It smells kind of herby with a touch of ginger. If you've ever had a Chinese ginger candy then this smells exactly like that with a pinch of the Chinese flower candies.

Bath and body works was having their buy 3 get 2 free so I picked these up after picking 3 twilight woods items for my sister in law. I got myself the Rio Rumberry triple moisture body cream and the Rio Rumberry glowing body scrub.

When I use the body cream it smells more citrusy slash pineapple with a light pinch of berriness to it. The berry smell to me is more of an after note rather than your first initial smell. I prefer that smell but I am thinking of trying out the other two scents from the escape collection when bath and body works has their semi-annual sale this summer.

The glowing body scrub I got this mainly for scrubbing my underarms, elbows, and kneecaps. I intend to use this to replace my sample sugar scrub that I used up from my birchbox. It feels nothing like a sugar or salt scrub but that is fine to me because it still does the job that I wanted to use it for. It feels kind of gritty like sand but a much more finely milled. When in the shower I honestly don't really smell anything but its fine because I got this to scrub my body not to smell good.

All in all I love everything that I purchased and can not wait to use everything.

Little Brown Box Swap

I said a few posts ago I think or I think I made a post on LUUUX that myself and a few other Little Black Bag ladies would be doing a Little Brown Box swap to take the place of LBB. This was during their "new changes" which no one liked. Anyways the maximum amount of money spent was supposed to be $50. With at least 1 big item like a bag or a pair of shoes and two smaller items like jewelry, cosmetics or something along those lines.

This is my box that I received from a wonderful lady from West Virginia.

 

 The main item I received was this cute Steve Madden crossbody. I adore it!  I told the lady I was open to any brand and color but I love crossbody bags, hobos, and satchels. I think she had an amazing pick being that she has never met me and barely knows anything about me.

 

 

The second item I completely fell in love with are these Robert Rose earrings. They look so feminine and are just so gorgeous.

 

 

The third item which I am also loving are these cute dainty bow earrings.

 

 

I almost forgot to mention this amazing blue scarf that she got me and I can not wait to wear it. I've really been into scarves lately so I'm super excited about this particular item.

 

 

She also found this amazing set by Figaro Couture. The set includes a watch, a pair of earrings, and a matching necklace.

 

 

 The last item I got was this L'Oreal Paris nail polish set. The colors included are numbers 104 Penthouse Pink which is a pale pink. Number 102 Boozy Brunch which is like a coral orange color. Check Me Out number 103 which is like a bright Barbie pink with blue shimmers. The last color is number 112 The Perfect Trench which is like a pale mustard yellow.

I love everything she got me and I hope the lady that I had likes her items. I will see guys later in another post!

LBB March 2013

My little black bag came in this past weekend! I was going to put it up but I didn't feel good enough to post as I just got my wisdom teeth pulled. But anyways here it is. A wee bit late.

 THE CONTENTS OF MY BAG!

The item I picked out was the Pink Cosmo Studded Cross Body. I've been on the search for a decent sized cross body and this one kind of fit what I was looking for. If you know Little Black Bag they had a Nica London cross body bag that I totally wanted but could not get my hands on last year and so when I saw this bag I kind of just settled for it.

I then got two surprise items which I was not a fan of at all. One was a pair of earrings that I just didn't like and then they gave me a bracelet which wasn't my style. The bracelet they gave me retailed at $34 so I ended up trading down for the Danielle Nicole Davina Mini Cross Body in blue which retailed for I think $24 or so.

 

As for the pair of earrings which retailed for $18 I traded down for a candle. I ended up trading that up for the pair of earrings that I received which are the Lydell NYC Oval Stone Drop Earrings. I think they aren't too cheap looking and are very cute and dainty enough for me to wear them with any outfit.

Overall I am in love with everything I received in this box. Trading this month was just awesome so I guess that's why I ended up getting all the items I really wanted. If you don't know what Little Black Bag is I will link it. There are plenty of youtube videos explaining how to use Little Black Bag so I'm not even going to go there. Hope you all enjoyed my little black bag haul and I'll post you guys later.
