Back to School Mini-Haul| Clothes + Makeup

Hey everybody! Sorry I haven’t posted for a while. I had a post ready for last Saturday or Tuesday but I couldn’t finish it because I had a YouTube video I made but it took too long to upload. So I haven’t posted in quite some time. Anyways, since I’ve started school, I’ve been very busy and I’ve been thinking about only posting once a week, probably on Saturdays. I want you guys to know that I will be extremely invested in my blog, I just need some time to get other things done. Now I went back to school shopping today and I wanted to show you guys what I got. I didn’t get that much, just some things that are school appropriate and things that I needed, but I thought that I should show you anyways. Let’s get started! 

CVS Pharmacy

This may seem like a weird place to shop, but this is where I get most, if not all, of my makeup. It’s affordable and they have a wide selection of brands and beauty products. 

  
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara, $10

Sorry about the lighting in this picture, it’s kind of weird but the mascara bottle is metallic light pink.  Anyways, I got this mascara because Maybelline has some of the best mascaras I’ve ever used, and I’ve heard lots of good things about this one plus I don’t like large mascara brushes, and this brush looked nice for me. Another great thing is that this is a volumizing mascara, which is something I love. 

  
I had a coupon for a free Elf cosmetics product with a value of three dollars or less, so I got this brush for free. I got this for my liquid foundation, so it’s easier for me to apply rather than using my fingers. I also went for this one because Elf products are extremely cheap and reliable. 

  
Maybelline Master Glaze Blush Stick in Make a Mauve, $10

I got this because I love this color for the fall time. I’m not sure if it will look great on my skin since I’m kind of pale, but it’s something new for me to try out. Also, I feel like I need to try out new products so I can see what I like, and I figured that since I’ve never tried anything like this, I could find my new favorite thing. 

   
 
Rimmel London Kate Moss Collection lipstick shade 80, around $8

This lipstick was something that I pinned on Pinterest quite a few months ago because I thought that it would be a nice pink-nude color for me. It is very nice, more pink than nude, but it works on me. 

Loft

Loft is a bit more grownup and expensive than where I usually shop, but they have nice things there, so I got just a couple things this time. 

   
 
Gold Rose Quartz Necklace, $35

This is a very nice necklace. It has a small part that has some little gold “dots” that goes over the collarbone area, and then has some chains that hang down over the chest/upper stomach area. It’s a great way to dress up an outfit or give it a bit of spice. 

  
Black Floral Cami, $25 (Buy one get one free)

I thought this would be cute for school under a little cardigan or something for warmer fall weather. I mostly got it because these were buy one get one free, and my grandma got a different one for free. 

Charlotte Russe

I like some things from this store, but I absolutely love their denim. Each pair of jeans is generally around $35, but I wait until they have a sale to buy some. 
  
Pale Pink High Waisted Jeans, $35

(Buy one get one for $12.50 all denim)

Sorry for the lighting in this picture, for some reason it got weird but these jeans are much lighter in real life than in this picture. I got these because I saw my friend wearing a really cute pair of jeans colored similarly to this, so I wanted these. I wanted them to be regular jeans and not high waisted, but these were the only ones they had. 

  
“Push Up” Legging Jeans

Since they had a sale, I got these for pretty much half off. I needed mor plain blue jeans, and these fit nicely with a little bit of growing  room. I think that these are push up for your butt to make it look better, but that doesn’t really matter to me because it’s hard for me to find good fitting jeans anyways. 

Papaya Clothing

I love this store because their clothes are super cheap but very  good quality. 
  
Pink Lace Back Cardigan, $13

Again, sorry for my weird lighting today. This is not this shade of pink but it’s close enough. I got this from the last chance rack, it was the last item. I got this because I thought it would  be cute to put over a dress or something that isn’t quite school compliant so I can wear it to school. 

  
Cropped Gray Black Mesh Stripe Sleeve Sweatshirt, $11

This is another item I got form the last canned rack. It was the last item too. It is a couple sizes too big for me, so it’s not as cropped as it’s supposed to be, but it’s still cropped. I like the slightly athletic look. 

  
Brooklyn athletic super soft 3/4 sleeves shirt, $16

To be honest, this is not something I would normally wear. But once I felt how soft it is, I fell in love.  This is way softer than a lot of sweaters and even blankets that I’ve ever felt. The only reason I bought this was because of how soft it is.  I think this will keep me really warm during fall time. 

  
Cropped Thin Red Sweater, $13

I like how simple and nice this piece is. This is easy to match with in fall and winter. They had a couple of other colors like gray and white, but most of my closet is gray, black, and white, so I thought I would try a little more color. 

That’s all for today’s post. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I’ll see you next time!
