As you may have noticed I haven't really been posting on here lately. Now that I am working full time I haven't really been able to put time into making posts of the quality I would like. That being said, I am planning on deleting this blog. I am going to take some of my favorite posts and post them on my tumblr (lovemissbeautyblog.tumblr.com) as soon as I have time and then I will delete this blog. I'm sorry guys :( I am able to keep my tumblr going because it is a little easier to post there from my phone so if you want to continue seeing my posts you can go follow me on tumblr! 

Collective Haul!

So last weekend my family and I went out of town for my sister's birthday. One of the days we spent shopping at a really big mall that had a lot of stores that we don't have close to where we live. Then a couple days ago I went to Walmart to grab a few things I needed to add to my collection. So lets get started!

The first night we were there I saw this dress in H&M. It was on sale and the only one left but it wasn't my normal size. I convinced everyone we needed to go back to the mall so I could try it on and it fit perfectly! It is a light maroon color and has a unicorn and cupid arrow pattern. The back has these two buttons and it sort of open and is slightly longer than the front. It also has this cute brown belt to cinch the waist. I bought some cute sandles to wear with it that match the belt. I wore this dress to work the other day and paired it with some black leggings but I could have worn it without them. I'm so glad I got this dress!

 These are the Tommy Hilfiger sandles I bought to wear with the dress. I got them from Off Broadway Shoes and they were also on sale. I love the gold detailing and think it goes really well with the dress. I also plan to wear these sandles with a few other outfits I have for work.





We also went to J.Crew where I got two things because they were having a half off sale!

 First I saw this shirt. I got super excited because I loved the pattern (I LOVE anchors) but the only one they had left was a large. I decided to try it on just to see and when I tuck it in it looks perfect! I decided I needed something colorful to wear with it and that is where my next item comes in!

 I saw this scarf and thought it would be the perfect thing to jazz up my shirt! It is actually huge but I couldn't find a good way to get a  picture of the full thing but if you have ever been to J.Crew then you have an idea of how big their scarves are. I absolutely love this scarf and this is my new favorite outfit. I wore it to work with a pair of kaki pants and white sandles but you could also wear it with a pair of jeans.

Now that I am working full time I was in need of another pair of dress pants. I picked these up from White House Black Market and really like them. They fit pretty well and have a sort of satin finish which is nice. I haven't actually worn them yet but I plan to soon.









The last thing I got on the trip is the one I am most excited about! I was finally able to get my hands on Stila Kitten eyeshadow! I wasn't able to get a picture of the eyeshadow that was good enough to put on here but here is a picture of the swatch!

Now onto the stuff I got from Walmart! 

The first thing I got is the Revlon Colorstay 24 Hour foundation for combination/oily skin in the shade 220 Natural Beige. I really like my Covergirl foundation but I wanted to try something different and I really like this one! I have heard people say that it feels really heavy on the face but I haven't had this problem. Also this shade is almost a perfect match! I actually think I may like this better than my Covergirl foundation! It matches a little better and because it is formulated for oily skin it lasts longer. The only problem I have had so far is that it doesn't work well with my ELF translucent powder. When I apply the powder you can see it and my whole face looks white. Other than that it is perfect!

The next thing I picked up is the Maybelline Cover Stick Concealer. I have a lot of redness on my face so I decided to try using a green concealer to help balance it out because so far nothing I have tried can do it. I have only used it once and it actually did a pretty good job of covering the redness. I will give an update later on and link it here after I have used it for a while.

While I was browsing the Maybelline section I saw the Color Tattoo Pure Pigments! I was so excited and had to grab one! I made myself choose just one to see if I would like it before I bought a whole bunch so I grabbed the shade Brash Blue. It is super pigmented and I plan to use it as an under eye liner for a pop of color.

The last thing I got is the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in black. I got this to wear on my water and tight line because the eyeliner I had been using sucked! So far this one is much better but I still have to reapply throughout the day.

That is everything I have purchased lately! I will let you know how all the new makeup is working out after I have had a chance to use it a little more. If you want to see swatches of anything just let me know!

Love always,

Marlee

Update

Hey guys! I just thought I would stop by and give you guys an update on what's been going on. I haven't been posting recently because my schedule has been kinda crazy and I'm trying to get into a new routine. I'm working full time now which means getting up early and home kinda late. By the time I get home I am exhausted. I plan to work on posts during the weekends and schedule them to go up through the week. I wasn't able to do this last weekend because we went out of town for my sisters birthday. So starting this weekend I'm going to work on posts like crazy for you guys!
