✿ Michael's & Walmart Haul! ✿

hiya~
School is killing me! :(
But anyways, I went shopping on Sunday to pick out some stuff for my sister's project, and I ended up finding some great stuff!

So here we goo (:
✿MICHAEL'S✿
Waverly Soap Roses
I picked these up for like $1.50, and they're just soap roses. You're supposed to use a petal at a time in your bath or to wash your hands. I got them mainly because they're cute as h*ck and also smell amazing!
                                                         
Cute Stickers
I found some super cute scrapbooking stickers that I plan on just sticking all around my house and in cards and on my school stuff lool. The ones on the left are cute cameras, and the ones on the right are sayings that are pretty sassy and right up my ally. Like seriously, one of them says GUMPTION. 
Velvet Coloring Posters
These posters were super cute & had like foxes and hedgehogs on them, so I couldn't resist buying these! They remind me of my childhood, too, and I'm excited to color them hehe (:
 ✿TARGET✿
Lemon Highlights Citrus Oil from Organix
I've been eyeing this spray for a long time and I finally caved in and got it. It is supposed to activate the natural highlights in your hair when you're in the sun! I want my hair to lighten up a little but I don't want to die it, so this seems like a good compromise!
Renewing Argan Oil Intense Moisturizing Treatment
I think this is a hair mask/conditioner, and I used it last night, and it made my hair super silky and soft! It also smells absolutely fantastic! <3
Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer in Celestial and Out of This World
I FINALLY FOUND THESE IN STORES. Swatches are below (: I will probably be doing a review on this soon but I love these so far! These colors are great because they're not too out there.

There you go haha! Sorry I haven't been posting in awhile! School is killer, and volleyball doesn't help too much with that either. This post basically showed you how much of a little girl I still am hehe(:
I have ideas for future posts so I will be posting cool stuff soon (: 
byeeeee

✿ After P.E. Must-Haves: How to Look Good After Gym Class! ✿

hiya~
I'm back in school, and since volleyball doesn't have off-season at my high school, I have to do P.E. because freshmen & sophomores aren't allowed to have free 6th periods.

So of course I was placed into SECOND period P.E., which makes it my homeroom. It's my third class of the day, which means most of my face makeup will be sweat off :(

Here are some of my must-haves for P.E! I just keep these items inside my sport locker and use them quickly after dressing back into my school clothes which refreshes me instantly.
✿ Makeup ✿

I like to keep all my makeup in this makeup bag for easy access and transport. I take this bag home with me because it contains my everyday face makeup.

Ted Baker Celiar Bow Makeup Bag
I'm pretty sure this bag is from a few seasons ago so it's not sold anymore, but you can buy some of the new styles which are just as cute, if not cuter! These makeup bags are really great quality, and I own like four and I use smaller ones as pencil cases as well.

Hair Ties
I like to use these to tie my hair up during class so it doesn't get sweaty and stick to my face. If my hair is flat or oily afterwards, I'll usually use a dry shampoo and brush it out.

Oil Absorbing Sheets
I wipe my face with these after class to remove excess oil and/or sweat. These are pretty useful, especially after we run!

This is a good spot concealer. It's really creamy, and easy to apply. I don't use a brush to blend this in, I just pat it in using my fingers.

Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer in Light Pale
I love this concealer for under the eyes! The applicator is fantastic, and it's super creamy yet light. It's very yellow, which is great for correcting blue under eye tones.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in Translucent
This is a great everyday powder! It's translucent, which means you can pretty much use it all year round. I like to apply it with my small Dior brush that's underneath this caption vvv.




NYX Megashine Lip Gloss in Beige
This is a fantastic lip gloss! It tastes sooo good and the color is so gorgeous and natural! I don't like applying lip glosses most of the time, but this is not sticky and light yet gives good shine and color! 

Deodorant, Perfume Samples, Atomizer, and Perfume
I like to keep these in my locker so that I can freshen up if I smell nasty after PE. Most of the time, I don't sweat a lot because we barely do anything, but when I smell like sweat, I spray it on.

Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen
This is my all-time favorite body sunscreen! It's easy to apply because it's spray, and it smells yummy & citrusy! It gives good protection. On my face in the mornings, I make sure I apply my Clinique sunscreen so that I don't have to reapply before PE, since I have it early in the morning. 

Thanks for reading! Sorry for my pathetic posts lately; school has returned and I'm super busy!

✿ Zoe's Favorites: Lip Products! ✿

hiya~

If you know me, you know I can't help but purchase lip products. The favorite part of my makeup routine is lips! I don't always use lip color or lip gloss, but I always use some sort of balm or butter at least. Here are some of my top picks!

✿ Lip Balm ✿


Baby Lips in Quenched
I love this lip balm, and it is one of my all time favorites. I have repurchased this because I go through the tube crazy fast. It tastes super yummy and has SPF! The best part is, it actually works too! You can find it at any drugstore.

Philosophy Pink Almond Candy Lip Balm
This lip balm tastes and smells amazing. It's exactly like almond, and although that doesn't sound appealing, trust me, it is. I believe this was limited edition for the holidays, but I hope they come out with it again next year because I love it!



Nivea Raspberry Rose Kiss
I like this lip butter because it's super moisturizing and tastes amazing! I don't like to use this when I'm outside of my house though, because it's unsanitary due to the fact that this requires you to use your finger for application.

Baby Lips (tinted)

I like these because they're all different, but nice lip colors. The Electro line is definitely more pigmented and out there. The original line has nice sheer colors and scents. The Dr. Rescue line has my personal favorite shades, but smells like menthol. Overall I think the original line is the best. They all do their job with moisturizing though!
✿ Lipstick ✿



Revlon Colorstay Lip Butter in Peach Parfait
I love this lip color, although I wouldn't exactly call it a lipstick. It provides very sheer color. This has no taste. It doesn't last super long, but it's nice and natural.

Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipsticks
These lipsticks are pretty infamous. I love the formulation of these lipsticks. They are long-lasting, and the colors are fantastic. It also smells/tastes pretty yummy as well! The packaging is super adorable too.


(top to bottom: 03 Juicy Grapefruit, 12 Tasty Raspberry)
These are fantastic sheer lipsticks. They are super moisturizing and the colors are soo cute and natural. I like to wear these on a daily basis, even to school, because they're not obvious at all. I love the packaging to death, because it looks super luxurious and cute. I love the names of the colors, and they taste really fruity and yummy. These are pricey, but are definitely worth it!


These gloss sticks are the best around. This particular color is the perfect nude pink. I have yet to try the other gloss sticks. They taste like Hand Food would probably taste; their signature pink scent/taste. It's a vanilla taste. These are a little thicker than your usual color sticks, and glossier. In the swatch, it looks orange, but it's really a light pink.
✿ Lip Glosses ✿

This lip gloss is great; not too thick, not too watery. I like it because the colors are great and mainly due to the taste! It tastes just the sheer lipsticks! The packaging is super cute, and it reminds me a lot of Dazzleglasses from MAC. The camera makes the gloss look pink, but in real life it leans more towards a red. 
(top to bottom: YSL 03 Golden Pink, Dazzleglass in Steppin' Out, Dazzleglass in Like Venus)


I like Dazzleglasses because they are super shiny and sparkly. They are very sheer and look great on all lipsticks. They're super cute in their packaging as well! I just want to buy all of them. :( They're really thick, so I don't recommend them if you don't like that. They also smell a lot like vanilla.




NYX Megashine Lip Gloss - Beige
This is probably my all-time favorite lip gloss. Missglamorazzi's constant rave about this made me go out and buy it. It's really cheap at around $5 at Nordstrom Rack. You can get these at Nordstrom, Target, and Urban Outfitters (really anywhere). I love the taste of this! It tastes like Maraschino cherries! The color is also super gorgeous and natural. I like this gloss because it isn't stick or thick like the MAC Dazzleglass. It's really smooth and light. It doesn't shimmer either.

That's it for my post today! I hope you enjoyed! I may not be posting as regularly because school is starting again so I'll be caught up in club volleyball and schoolwork. Thanks!

love always,
