Currently Coveting - Workout Equipment & Accessories (Featuring Dicks Sporting Goods, American Eagle, & Amazon)

Happy New Year!

 

This is the time of year that so many people make New Years resolutions to workout more and get healthy.

 

Here are some of my workout equipment & accessories that I am currently coveting at the moment!

Outdoor Products Trail Diva Waist Pack - This seems perfect for carrying water, keys, and your cell phone during a nice outdoor walk, jog, or walk whichever your speed.

 

American Eagle Aerie Sequin Yoga Shortie - These are super cute and affordable! A great alternative to the Victoria Secret version.

 

Fitness Gear 8 lb Concave Kettlebell - Super cute and effective!

 

Empower 3-in-1 Kettlebell - This is great for beginners (or anyone for that matter). This allows you to adjust the weights as you advance in one simple product.

 

Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - This beauty tracts your calories burned and monitors your heart rate while your working out. I actually ordered this from Amazon (way cheaper than other places) in PINK. :) I am so excited to start using this in the new year.

 

Fitness Gear 1 lb Neoprene Dumbbell - I picked this particular product because of the color! Dumbbells are perfect to incorporate in your workout routines.

 

Fitness Gear 8 lb Neoprene Dumbbell - Another cute addition to your workout equipment. It's important to gradually work your way up as you gain muscle and strength.

 

NIKE Women's Free Run+ 2 Running Shoe in Turquoise & Black - My favorite brand of running shoes is NIKE. These babies are gorgeous! A nice pair of running shoes make workout (and everyday life in general) more comfortable. I live in my NIKE running shoes - whether I'm working out or running errands.

 

 

Side note - I am not a fitness expert. I am a 24 year old (almost!) woman who wants to get fit and become healthier. These are my opinions. I am in no way an expert about workout equipment. The most important thing to remember is that everyone is different and you should do what works for you.

When I think of Winter, I think of intricate snowflakes, warm fires, hot chocolate, & Christmas decorations.

My Winter "Currently Coveting" features cool colors such as Tiffany Blue & Silver.

 

 

 

 

Tiffany 1837 Toggle Bracelet - This is one of the timeless pieces that Tiffany & Co offers. It is a beautiful piece that I plan to use as a charm bracelet.

Tiffany Charms - Tiffany Blue Box, Return to Tiffany Heart, Snowflake, Gingerbread Man, & Bow Box Sled are some of the charms that would look amazing on a winter themed charm bracelet.

Tiffany Twist Knot Earrings - These earrings look so different and unique. I love the twist knot detailing.

Tiffany Beads Graduated Necklace - This necklace is beautiful! The beaded necklace reminds me of a more casual version of pearls.

Elsa Peretti Open Heart Pendant - I'm usually not a fan of heart pendants, but I'm loving this one! Elsa Peretti's style is very unique.

Tiffany 1837 Narrow Ring - I am in love with this ring. It is simple, yet unique with its curved detailing.

Tiffany Keys Heart Key Charm - Tiffany Keys are beautiful! I love this Tiffany Blue & Silver version.

Tiffany Keys Heart Key Pendant - This is a simple but beautiful piece.

Fall is here!

 

 

This is the time for comfy sweaters, scarves, warm colors, coffee, falling leaves, pumpkins, nice smelling candles.

 

Here is a list of the items that I am currently coveting for fall! Burgundy, Cognac, Burnt Orange, Tortoise, and Gold!!!

 

 

Tory Burch Reva Flats in Cognac & Gold - I've been loving Tory Burch Reva Flats since I started watching Gossip Girl! This color combination is perfect for fall!!

Michael Kors Hamilton 18K East West Satchel in Burnt Orange & Gold - I'm in love with this bag at the moment. The color is beautiful for fall and will go with anything.

Express "Dot and Spot" Infinity Scarf - My favorite thing about this scarf is the color. Burgundy shades are my favorite for fall.

Macy's Charter Club Gold-Tone Crystal Bead Necklace - Gold is the color for fall in my opinion! It is so warm and lovely. This necklace would look amazing with oversized sweaters! I love pieces that can be worn both casually and dressy.

Tory Burch Walter Earrings in Tortoise & Gold - These earrings scream fall in my opinion. In love with the tortoise detail behind the Tory Burch logo.

Currently Coveting - Baby Pink & Glowy Skin (Featuring Illamasca, YSL, Hourglass, Mac, & Dior)

Hello beautiful people.

 

Today I decided to share a few of the beauty products that I've been coveting! The "Currently Coveting" idea was borrowed from one of my favorite bloggers - Cocoa & Pearls. Her blog is amazing and I highly recommend it!

 

These products are both mid-end  and high-end beauty products that are items that I would love to splurge on.

The theme is baby pink & glowy skin.

 

 

Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Katie - I've heard some amazing things about this blush. It looks like the perfect baby pink color. I've heard that this is the better version of Mac's powder blush in Well Dressed.

YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in #7 Lingerie Pink - So many people on YouTube have raved about these lipsticks. After swatching them at Sephora, I would love to add one of these gorgeously packaged lipsticks to my collection.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette - I've heard that these powders are beautiful. When I saw that they have a limited edition palette of three powders, I fell in love! These babies are expensive, however you get to try out three different shades for a little more than the price of one full sized product. Great way to dip your toes into an Hourglass product.

Mac Mineralized Moisture SPF 15 Foundation - I've been interested in this product since it first came out. I love Mac foundations and I want to try out more. I haven't heard much about this product in the YouTube beauty community or in the blogs that I follow.

Mac Pro Longwear Concealer - I've heard that this product is amazing for the undereyes. My only concern is the color range since I'm so pale. I am usually unable to find a concealer that is a shade or two lighter than my skintone to use in my undereye area.

Dior Addict Gloss in #553 Princess - I've heard that these lipglosses are wonderful. This would be a great luxury item to pair with the YSL lipstick!




Those are the items that I've been eyeing for a while! I'd love to know some of the products that you would love to own!!

XOXO


Coming Soon: Ulta haul && MAC haul

MAC COSMETICS - Shopping List

Hi everyone! I thought that I would share with you the items that I've had my eye on at MAC for a while. I'm going to the mall on Saturday so these items are what is on my shopping list!

MAC COSMETICS - Shopping List by ladyem2 featuring glitter eye makeup

 

1. Single Eyeshadow ($15 each). I've never owned a MAC eyeshadow and I want to get a everyday makeup look. The shades that I'm interested in are Nylon, Handwritten, and a "best friend" blending color.

2. Prep & Prime Lash ($16). I'm currently trying out a sample Lancôme version that I've been liking so far. I want to try out a few more versions before I buy a full size.

3. In Extreme Dimension Mascara ($20). I've already tried two different mascaras by MAC - Haute & Naughty and False Lash. I want to try out a few more and see which is my favorite.

4. 219 Pencil Brush ($25) & 209 Eye Liner Brush ($19). I've wanted the 219 for a while, but have never bought it. Since I've started using concealer, I've been using my 211 which I previously used (but didn't like) for my fluidline. The 209 looks like a good brush to use to apply a thin line of eyeliner.

5. Eye Kohl in Fascinating ($16). I've wanted to try a white or nude shaded eyeliner for my waterline. Black is usually too harsh for everyday.

6. Lash Curler ($20). My eyelash curler (Revlon) is getting old and not curling my lashes enough for my liking. I want a good one that isn't too expensive.

7. Mineralize Skinfinish Natural ($30). I've wanted this product since I first learned about MAC. I've never bought it though. I decided that once I finish up my Blot Powder that I'll buy this (which I'm really close to being done with).

8. Fix Plus ($21). Sometimes I notice that my face looks a bit too powdery (not cakey) for my liking. I've heard that this product is good for that.


Please let me know if you've used any of these items. I would love some input before I head to my local MAC counter.

Hi everyone! Here is a list of the items that I've had my eye on for a long time! I've decided to put these items in a collage to remind myself to keep working hard with school and maybe I will treat myself with one of these!

2013 wish list by ladyem2 featuring freshwater pearl stud earrings


 

my fall wish list of 2011

Hello everyone!

I start school again Monday and I thought that I would share with you some of the things that are on my wish list this fall! This is also a new version of my back-to-school shopping list.

I absolutely LOVE knee high riding boots this season. I have wanted boots like this for a few years now and I have never found any that I really liked. I have a pair from Target, however they have a wedge on them. I want another pair that are more comfortable and more practical for going to school.

Anytime I see someone wearing a feather earring or feather extension, I want one too! I really like the one earring look because it is an alternative to the feather extensions. A lady that my mom knows makes custom feather earrings and she is going to make me one. :)

Circle scarves are so cute! I like normal scarves, but I have always wanted to try a circle scarf. They look so effortless which is perfect for a college student.

In the fall and winter, my hands are constantly dry and cracking. Not fun! I love the bath and body works travel lotions the best. My favorite scent of all time is the Eucalyptus spearmint.

I love the look of layered bracelets. I think fall is a perfect season for this, because summer is too hot for all that! I found a really cute bracelet at Express a few days ago. Check it out here!

Every year I want a new school bag! Without fail! I'm not sure if I am going to buy a new one, but I'm loving the ones that I found for this blog post.

Thanks for reading this. I hope you liked these things that I mentioned. Let me know what you want for this fall season!

XOXO

my school shopping list of 2011

 

 

Hi everybody!! I am finally done with school this summer. Now I have 2 weeks until I have to go back to school for the fall semester. I need to do some shopping before I go back to college. I actually don't need that much since I re-use most of the things (room accessories and school supplies).

1. Something to fill in my eyebrows. I'm thinking of going to MAC so that I can get the perfect color and the price is better than other high-end brands.

2. Cheek stains or cream blushes. I like the Tarte one because you get 1 oz for $30 compared to MAC cream blushes that are $19.50 for 0.19 oz.

3. Pink slip-on (no laces) converse. I love my black one with laces so I want another pair. I've seen ones similar to the ones pictured on one of my favorite tv shows - H2O Just Add Water.

4. New laptop && laptop case. The laptop I have is really heavy and slow. I want one that I can carry to class if I want to but won't break my shoulder!

5. Ripped jeans! I really like the look of boyfriend jeans and these AE ones are so cute!

6. Army looking messenger bag. I haven't found any school bag that I have really liked. I've got this idea from someone in my class but I didn't like hers.

7. I haven't smelled this perfume, but the bottle is so cute!!

8. Mini perfumes are amazing for school. Again, I haven't smelled these ones but I liked the fragrances from last summer.

XOXO

2. MAC Oil Control Lotion ($29.50)
3. Loreal Paris True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Makeup with an SPF 19 in #458 light ivory ($12.99) and Loreal Paris True Match Naturale Soft-Focus Mineral Finish in #401 translucent (not shown -- $12.99)
4. MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in plum foolery ($19.50) with MAC 129 powder/blush brush ($34.00).
5. Too Faced Shadow Insurance ($18.00)
6. Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in bunny hop (color discontinued -- $19.00)
7. NYX single eyes shadow in taupe ($5.50)
8. Urban Decay eyeshadow in sell out ($17.00)

3. Bath and Body Works Tutti Dolci in creme brulee (not shown -- discontinued)
13. Lauren Conrad inspired front braid

Please note

The shadow brush shown in the image above is not the brush that I use. I could not find the actual brush that I use because it is from a cheap makeup kit that was given as a gift many many years ago. The brush that I chose for the image looks very similar to the one I use for both the main color and the highlight. I may actually go get that Sephora brush to replace mine since the ferrule is coming loose.

How in the world can you afford $223.36 worth of makeup?

I were to go out to the mall right now and by everything in that list, no I would not be able to afford that. Of course, this is stuff that I have bought over time. And on sale!! Four mascaras??? I bought them all two at a time (weeks/months apart) at a BOGO 50% sale which ULTA has all the time. $26 too much for a foundation and finishing powder? Same thing -- BOGO 50% sales. Some of the above items listed were also bought from whole sale websites and eBay. If you do decide to go that route, BE CAREFUL! Make sure that you research before buying anything just in case it is not authentic.


Recommendations (love it)
Foundation
NYX eye shadow
Maybelline mascaras (any of them)
VS Beauty Rush glosses

Skips (don't hate, but only ok)
MAC Oil Control Lotion (even for oily-skin girls)
Lip balm (try Blistex --- favorite)


Goodbye for now lovelies!!
Miss Heather :)
