Three Years of One Direction + BSE Video Review.

Bonjour tout le monde!

This blog post is going to be a little bit different.. more of a celebration.. Enjoy!

Alright, so... I may or may not have had to take a day to let One Direction's new video for their new single "Best Song Ever", sink in before I wrote this.  I'm not going to lie to you all, but I don't think it still has. Ha! I think this may be their best video yet! The song is so dang catchy, I just can't help but want to dance around & replay it over, & over.

First, Niall & Louis as Harvey & Jonny - The Studio Execs.. I could NOT contain my laughter.  These boys are absolutely hilarious! I now want to see Niall tap dance!

Zayn as Veronica - The Sexy Assistant.. amazing. I mean, come on! Zayn is an absolutely gorgeous guy, but he may be a prettier girl than I am!  When the guys were staring at his backside when he bent over, I nearly lost it!

Harry as Marcel - The Marketing Guy.. What is there to say about Marcel besides the fact that this character was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.  Harry nailed it.  From his voice, to his actions.. I couldn't name one thing I didn't like.  The way he danced behind Liam as Leeroy the choreographer, hysterical.

Liam - Leeroy the choreographer.. oh my Liam. I am a hardcore Liam girl.. this was great.  Especially from the credits at the end, seeing the ridiculous shorts he was wearing.

Some of my favorite parts:

• HARRY IN NIALL'S FACE - HOT
• GEORGIA ROSE <3 LIAM
• SHIMMY, NIALL, YOU LOVELY BOY
• THE WORLD BASICALLY STOPS FOR LOUIS
• THE BOYS DANCING !!!!!!!!
• ZAYN'S HIGH NOTE, FTW
• LOUIS' BUM + TUM WHILE DANCING
• EVERYTHING

Seriously, when Zayn was doing the bit of graffiti, & the boys all looked so proud, I lost it.  I 100% cried.  I mean I let it all out, the whole nine yards, UGLY CRIED.

Like I said, the boys look so proud at the end of the video, & they should be.  It's all leading up to This Is Us.

Today, is THREE years of One Direction, & I could not be more proud of how far they have come.  I've met some incredible people due to these boys & I wouldn't trade the memories I have for anything. I cannot believe it's been three years, & I'll probably end up sitting here watching their X Factor journey & crying my eyes out, yet again.  I just love them, & the fact that they've stayed true to who they were from day 1. If I could say anything to them, it would just be Thank You.

Forever 21 - $21+ free shipping!

I'd like to call this meeting of the shoppers anonymous to order,

haha.. just kidding! ;)

I just wanted to pop in to tell you, my lovely readers, about the awesome deal going on at Forever 21 right now!  When you spend $21+, you get free shipping.  I find that amazing because usually you have to spend at least $50 online to get free shipping, so this is a great treat.  There's a lot of items I have my eye on right now, so I'm definitely going to take advantage of this deal.

This $21+ free shipping deal ends July 21 (7/21) so there's a little time to decide what to get, but this really isn't something to miss! Forever 21 also has some camis starting at $1.80, as well as some other great items starting at $5.  Your wallet will be happy.

Let me know if anyone is going to take advantage of this sweet deal, or if there's any other deals going on right now! :)


Sharing is caring, dolls.

Blackheart Nail Polish & Lipstick Review!

Hola my loves!

My last post was about my awesome haul from Hot Topic's Blackheart cosmetics.  Seriously, if you haven't checked out the rockin' sales going on at Hot Topic right now, you're missing out!  Even if you think the store isn't for you, I'm pretty sure anyone can find something they'll like in there!  The styles of Hot Topic are definitely evolving.

So, anyway.. I'm going to review these 4 products for you guys!

1st - The first product I tried from this haul was the Violet lipstick.  Before I put on any lipstick, I always use chapstick.  This makes this lipstick come on a little light, so I put on a few coats.  I'm not just saying this, but I am ABSOLUTELY in love with this product.  The color is gorgeous, especially if you're looking to stand out.  It looks great with only one light coat, but also with two or three.  I know I will be wearing this color a lot in the future.

Violet

2nd -  I tried the Violet Tendencies nail polish next.  I put a coat on and let it dry to see how the color comes on.  I like my nails to be bold so I added at least two more coats, and was left with an amazing shade of deep purple.  I think the bit of blue/purple glitter in the nail polish adds to the appeal!

Violet Tendencies

3rd - The third product I tried was the Teal Glitter nail polish.  This polis would be great for any occasion.  You can put one thin coat on, or put a few on for a more bold look.  I enjoyed the color a lot & would definitely recommend it!

Teal Glitter

4th - Finally, the fourth product from my hail was the Razor's Edge nail polish.  This polish went on smooth & looked very pretty.  The only downfall was that you definitely need a top coat because it chips easier than most polishes.  Other than that, I love it!

Razor's Edge

Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase that only totaled $7.38 that could have been over $20.  If you are looking for some fun new colors for cosmetics, definitely hit up Hot Topic. Don't be afraid, or judge the store from what you think you know.  Like I said before, the style is evolving so much, you make be surprised at the selection.


As always, feel free to leave a comment/question!

PS. I just wanted to say Happy 20th Birthday to the BEAUTIFUL & TALENTED Perrie Edwards from Little Mix! My fashion icon & inspiration.

Nail Polish Addict.

Helloooooo,

I hope you've enjoyed my last few posts! Today, I will be writing about something that made me really happy.  There is a Hot Mess Clearance sale going on right now at Hot Topic & all clearance accessories are BOGO! You read that right, Buy One Get One... FREE!  If you know me at all, or have followed me on Instagram, or Tumblr, you'll know that painting my nails is like therapy for me.

So, once I saw the BOGO accessories, I knew I had to look through the boxes.  These are what I picked up:

Three Blackheart nail polishes in Razor's Edge, Violet Tendencies & Teal Glitter.  I also picked up this Violet Blackheart lipstick, as well.

Usually, each of these products costs about $5/per item, but with the sale, they were only $3.48/per item & even then BOGO!  This means, I only paid $7.38 total!  Which I would say is extremely awesome, & would definitely call that a win!

I'm really excited to try these out, & will make another post once I do!

Feel free to leave a comment or question in the form to the side! Let me know what awesome sales you've seen lately or products you've picked up! :)

Live a little, Love a lot.

First Product Review: Happy Hair, Happy Girl. Thanks, John Frieda!

Hello, dolls!

I don't know about you all, but I have this thing where I like to dye my hair a lot.  When I say a lot, I mean.. whenever I am upset about something, or need a change, my hair is my 'go to' thing to change.

Since I like to dye my hair a lot, it has made my hair dry, especially after I had a bit of an ombré put in it.  I've been looking and looking for something to revitalize my hair.  So, I was taking my weekly Walmart trip & was looking through the hair isle when I spotted this:

John Frieda Root Nourishing Moisture Shampoo.  The second I opened the lid & took in the awesome scent of the shampoo, I knew I had to give it a try!

The first thing I noticed while trying this shampoo was how nicely it lathered & rinsed.  Combined fragrances of eucalyptus & peppermint oil were extremely refreshing to smell while washing my hair.  My hair has been crazy dry lately but from time to time it can get oily throughout the day, but this shampoo makes my hair feel smooth & silky.  It also makes my scalp tingle with a clean feeling.

Just like other John Frieda products, John Frieda Root Nourishing Moisture Shampoo, is a bit pricey for the 8.45 oz that you get, but it definitely works, so it is well worth the price!

I know I will keep using this & possibly pick up the conditioner as well.  If the shampoo can do this on its own, imagine what both could do together?!

As always, if you have anything to add, or have any questions, feel free to leave a comment!
Also, let me know if there are any products that you'd like me to review! :)

Live a little, Love a lot.

What's in my bag? Festival edition.

GOOOOD NIGHT. OR AFTERNOON. OR MORNING. ;)

In my last post I talked about festivals & what to do & not to do &, I figured I could maybe branch off of that.  So I've decided to put together a "What's in my bag?" post that can give you an idea of what you should take with you!  Since I will be attending Warped Tour in a little under a month, it will help me keep track of what I need to get, too!

1. SUNSCREEN & EXTRA HAIR TIES --> Sunscreen will be your savior.  After being in the sun all day, who wants to resemble Sebastian from The Little Mermaid? (I put two SPF 50's on here because I use SPF 100, oops!) If you're like me, your luck is not very good, so just in case, definitely pack extra hair ties! I end up breaking at least one of these bad boys per week.
2. MONEY --> You're going to want to purchase merch while there so why not be prepared?!  I usually end up taking between $50-$100.
3. WATER --> I honestly feel like this could be numero uno because it is SO important that you keep hydrated while in the sun all day.. as if I didn't stress this enough in my last post! I think Warped Tour (unsure of other festivals at the moment) has a free station where you can fill your water bottle for free! You can also take in (at most venues) 1 SEALED bottle of water.  Definitely do this because then you can even keep filling that bottle, especially since most venues will remove the cap before giving you the bottle when you purchase it there.
4. CELLPHONE --> Make sure your battery on your phone is fully charged, that way if you get separated from your friends you can get ahold of them!  + It will be good for you to be able to keep track of the time so you don't miss any bands!
5. SUNNIES --> It's going to be hot.  You're going to be in the sun.  Just do yourself a favor & remember sunglasses!  There may be a vendor inside the festival that will be selling them though, by why spend your money on something you already have?  One year, Tilly's passed out free sunglasses! It was pretty cool of them.
6. NOTEPAD & PEN --> If you want to get an autograph or, you can use this to write down the times of the bands you want to see & where they will be playing.  Hey, maybe you'll find a cutie & want to give them your number! ;)
7. FRUIT SNACKS --> These are awesome to keep in your bag if you can't get your hands on food right away.  I always keep at least two packs in my purse whenever I go anywhere.
8. CHAPSTICK --> I am addicted to Chapstick, ABSOLUTELY addicted. I apply it way too often.  Not only is it good to keep with you so your mouth will not feel as dry, but most Chapsticks will also protect your lips from the sun! (How cool is that?.. okay you might not think it is very cool, but the Chaptsick nerd in me does!)
9. DISPOSABLE CAMERA --> I like having a disposable camera with me just because there is kind of a mystery in your pictures.  You don't know what the picture will look like until you get the pictures developed.  This is just a suggestion though, I know they're not for everyone!
10. WET WIPES --> You will be sweaty, you will get dirty.  This is just a simple way to clean off & freshen up throughout the day.  By the end of the long day, these babies may very well be your BFF.

The products in the set above are:

• Banana Boat Sport Performance Lotion Sunscreen Set with SPF 50 - 2 Pack.
• About $15 for the 2 pack at Target.
• Goody Ouchless Neon Elastics 29ct
• About $4.50 for 29 at Target.
• Dasani water
• $2 or $3 at your local grocery shop or gas station.
• The sunnies I've picked out are: Vintage Inspired Round Circle Cat Eye Sunglasses 8785
• These are about $10 from ZeroUV.
• The notepad is Vera Bradley Pocket Papers , and the pen can be any pen!
• The notepad is about $9 & pens can be very cheap!
• You can get Chapstick from your local Target or Walmart.
• These will honestly cost you about $1, unless you're looking to get fancy.
• Any fruit snacks.
• These will be about $4 or so per box.
• The disposable camera is from Urban Outfitters.
• It costs about $14, but you can get a cheaper one from like CVS or a shop like that.
• H&M 10-pack of wet wipes.
• These will cost you about $2
• The wallet is a Betsey Johnson Americana Zip Around Wallet that I LOVE.
• It is a bit steep in price at $68, though.
• The bag is from Hot Topic! It's the perfect size for a festival.
• It costs around $27, but it's totally worth it.

Again, these are just some friendly suggestions to get you started.  :)  Like I always say, my word isn't the Bible.  I know these products are what I will be taking this year!  If you want to see any other alternatives, or would like to add anything leave a comment!

Live a little, Love a lot.
