Fabulous finds!!!

Alright... so Anousha (I know that you read this, so just call me already!!!) was very generous this past Christmas/Birthday season. She sent me a gift card to my favorite place (Lane Bryant) and somewhere new (Sephora) which I completely fell in love with. Shannon and I spent almost 2 hours in Sephora Saturday just inhaling the entire store. I left no display un-ogled. I wanted everything. Smokey Eye sets by Sephora, Rocker eyes by Bare Minerals, the Barbie Collection by Stila. But, as Shannon so nicely informed me, I already know the technique, what I need are the new colors. So... I went super shopping!
First thing I found was this fabulous Eye Palette. The Luxe Noir Palette is full of Shimmery colors that can be applied dry for softer look or wet for a bold look. I love the browns on the right. Perfect Shimmery neutrals. I did us the Silver and the Black on the left... Super Rock Star! So much fun. I am in love with this color Palette. I am trying to find a way to experiment with the rose colors... but, trust me, this is FABULOUS.
Onto my other great find... this one really goes to Shannon. Let me explain. Shannon's 25th birthday is Monday, February 23rd. And we always go out for her birthday. This year it is once again girls-only and we are dressing up and starting off the night at Ohana, our favorite Japanese Steakhouse. I found this great shirt/dress at Lane Bryant a couple weeks ago, once again, with Shannon. (Noticing a trend?) It's short sleeve, gray, wide band on the bottom and has rows of sequins, running in 3s, diagonally all down the front (Thanks again, Anousha!) I'm wearing it with black tights and either the black knee boots or heels (totally undecided on shoes), and possibly a long sleeve black tee under it. Kind of '80s. But let's face it, I can totally pull that look off. Anyway, Shannon found this great bag at Sephora to match the dress. It's the Luxe Noir Bling Clutch. Hah! Bling! Love it. Perfect size for $, keys, camera, and phone. The picture's not that great, but trust me, it's adorable. I really have a thing for purses. It's almost getting out of hand. Almost.
So... Thank you to Anousha for totally making my first shopping experience at Sephora a total blast, and for introducing me to my 2nd favorite store in the mall! Sorry that this post seemed to go on forever, but I was out with Shannon from 1030 am until 945 pm on Saturday. Scott very generously stayed home with my poor sick Weston. I actually found a great dress that needs taken in and taken up, but it was $20 and fabulous. So it's mine now. :) Hope you are all having a wonderful day! I'm working on it.
