Hi everyone!I recently posted my February empties on Instagram but I thought I would share more about each product here. I love watching/reading empties posts. What products have you used up and loved (or hated!) recently?
<br />
<br />
<div data-sc-widget-id="P-5e6062f6c09dd015f9f50bab">
</div>
<script async="" src="//widgets.shopstyle.com/shopstyle-widget-snippet.js"></script>
For reference, I have dry and sensitive skin and my skin is very reactive - I get very red if I touch my skin or after washing. I have thick, very long hair that has not been colored and I rarely use hot tools (including hair dryers)<br />
<br />
* <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=740486646&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">Tula 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream</a> - I really love this moisturizer. I know that a lot of influencers promote Tula and that leaves some people feeling "iffy" about them and their products, but I absolutely stand by the moisturizer and the cleanser. <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=740486646&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">This</a> left my skin feeling so soft and seemed to calm down my redness. I also loved that it wasn’t too heavy to use during the day.<br />
<br />
* <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=224617744&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">Hempz Vanilla Plum Body Moisturizer</a> - I found this body lotion to be very light and non sticky but still hydrating. This scent is difficult to find (I think it may be discontinued?) but it will pop up from time to time at TJMaxx. I will say that if you are experiencing severe dry skin (or cracked skin) that this body lotion may not help because it isn't thick.<br />
<br />
* <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=801593335&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">Batiste Dry Shampoo</a> - Batiste is the only dry shampoo I’ll use. I love all the scents and it’s inexpensive and it’s the only dry shampoo I’ve found that actually absorbs into my hair. I have tried all the other popular dry shampoos and I either hated the way they felt, smelled, or they left a gray tint in my hair. Batiste is my ride or die dry shampoo.<br />
<br />
* <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=740507167&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere Perfume</a> - I love this scent so much. It’s warm but isn’t overpowering. My mom adores this scent too so I think its a good universal scent.<br />
<br />
* <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=758228709&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">Tracie Martyn Absolute Purity Toner</a> - I wanted to hate this toner because it is pricey but my skin loves it. I did see a difference in my skin and pores - my skin has a glow to it after I use this. Tracie Martyn skincare has great ingredients too. Fair warning - I used this product up pretty quickly (I used it only at night and I think it took about a month to go through) but it is so worth it. I also highly recommend their Complexion Savior!<br />
<br />
* Trader Joes Shea Butter and Coconut Oil Hair Mask - I used this as a conditioner for the most part. It is amazing and a great price point. It smells like the beach and left my hair feeling soft and moisturized but didn’t weigh my hair down.<br />
<br />
* Iles Formula Haute Performance <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=758228709&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">Shampoo</a> and <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=705923394&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">Conditioner</a> - I received a sample of this from a BeautyHabit order and fell in love. The scent is amazing and stays in my hair but the formula is great too. It is pricey but it’s worth it. I’ll be repurchasing this because I adore the scent and the product worked great.</div>

<br />
On Tuesday, I drug my non-Avett Brothers loving boyfriend to see the Judd Apatow documentary on The Avett Brothers called May It Last.<br />
<br />
Y'all. The word love doesn't even come close to how I feel about The Avett Brothers. I've been a fan since 2005. These North Carolina born and raised boys have had my heart for a long time and I was so excited to see this documentary.<br />
<br />
It did not disappoint.<br />
<br />
I'm half way writing this post to tell you that if you get the chance, go see May It Last. The Avett Brothers are kind, down to earth, amazing people and they deserve more success. Go listen to their music.<br />
<br />
But I'm also writing this post because Tuesday reminded me of the importance of something that The Avett Brothers taught me a long time: it costs nothing to be loyal, honest, and true.<br />
<br />
I write a lot of about fashion and beauty on this blog. I can be materialistic and vain and want to keep up with the Joneses. This mentality and lifestyle has led to a lot of anxiousness, stress, and depression and it is something I struggle with every day. The desire to be successful and have nice things often keeps with pressure and endless worry of "is this enough? am I doing enough?"<br />
<br />
May It Last served as a reminder that at the end of the day, fame and success fades but being a good person and being true to who you are and loyal and loving those in your life that matter is what's important. I will always love fashion and beauty and enjoy my job, but at the end of the day these things don't define me.<br />
<br />
I didn't realize how much I needed the familiar voice of those North Carolina boys and the reminder to be good, to trust, to care until I heard it.<br />
<br />
I think my non-Avett Brothers loving boyfriend now sees what I see in this band and why its so important to me. I hope they can be important to you and help you find a little peace and truth in this world that right now is so uneasy and hard.</div>

Happy Friday! As fall approaches, I am beginning to switch up my nail polish color. I know it sounds so silly, but one of the reasons I love fall is I can begin to wear darker colors on my nails. Below are some of my favorite fall colors from Deborah Lippmann. I love Deborah Lippmann because her brand is free of harsh chemicals and full of nutrients like green tea to help strengthen your nails. Plus, the line is cruelty free, which I adore as an animal lover.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=252974470&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Deborah Lippmann in Daytripper</a>: I know this doesn't exactly scream "FALL IS HERE!" but I always keep a pink color like this on my toes.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=244146665&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Deborah Lippmann in Happy Birthday</a>: How cute would this glitter be for an accent nail? I love this for fall and for winter to get festive.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=244140464&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Deborah Lippmann in Lady Is A Tramp</a>: I LOVE a dark red for fall and this red is perfect. I can definitely see myself rocking this red with the leopard print items I featured recently.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=321067599&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Deborah Lippmann in Naked:</a> This is the perfect nude color for those of you who need a more natural color for weddings or a more strict office environment. </li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=471272515&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Deborah Lippmann in A Fine Romance</a>: Pale pink polishes are so feminine and I love the way they look in the fall with dark colors. I could see myself reaching for this polish for special occassions</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=480972481&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Deborah Lippmann in Fade to Black:</a> A good black polish is a staple in my nail polish collection. </li>

I am addicted to buying and trying to new perfumes. My go to fragrances are usually warm and spicy or warm florals, but I will try anything once. I picked up<a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=482427265&pid=uid225-24879985-42"> Estee Lauder's Modern Muse Le Rouge</a> after it popped up on perfumes recommended to me by Sephora. I loved the scent when I tested it in the store, so I bought a full bottle.<br />
<br />
When I first sprayed this on, I noticed that it smelled differently on me than it did in the bottle and on a tester stick. I still enjoyed the fragrance, but not as much as I had in store. As the day went on, I became bothered by the smell. I don't normally get sinus headaches or allergies from perfumes unless they are very floral based, however, this perfume killed my allergies.<br />
<br />
While this perfume is quite lovely and the smell is nice, I wouldn't be able to recommend it to any of my friends or family simply because it is so strong. If you do want to try this perfume, I would recommend spritzing it and then walking through it.</div>

I am LOVING J.Crew's new arrivals. Tucker and I walked past the store front on Saturday after dinner and I knew I had to check back in and see what was new for fall. I know some people have their moments where they don't love J.Crew but I usually end up picking up quite a few pieces each time they have new arrivals. Here is what is currently in my cart:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=666950688&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Leopard Print Coat:</a> I love, love, love leopard print. I know this coat isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I can't wait to get it for fall time and wear with skinny jeans and boots. </li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=657360717&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Tippi Sweater in Camouflage</a>: I'm usually not a huge camo fan, but this season I am really liking it. I love the colors in this sweater and I could see myself wearing out to brunch when the temperature cools off down here in Columbia.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=659853024&pid=uid225-24879985-42">One Shoulder Bow Top</a>: This top is absolutely darling! I'm actually getting this top to wear to games and then as a transition piece for events at night with my life group or Kappa Delta alums.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=668289705&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Andover Pea Coat</a>: I love the purple color in this coat. I always buy J.Crew coats because the quality is amazing.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=664387161&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Leopard Print Silk Cami</a>: I'm excited to get this cami and wear it under sweaters and blazers. I think it is the perfect staple piece for fall and will go with jeans and skirts.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=664392608&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Tie Back Sweater</a>: I am getting this in the pink and the navy color. Sweaters are my go to in the fall for when I want to throw something on and look presentable. The back detail on this is a super cute touch.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=664390827&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Bell Sleeve Sweater</a>: This sweater comes in other colors and I am resisting buying all of them. I love bell sleeves (really any sleeve detail) and think this would be super cute with gold hoops, jeans, and flats.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=668191305&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Daisylace Bell Sleeve Top</a>: I'm ordering this in a tall because this top looks a little shorter on the model than I would like on me. I can't wait to dress this up for date night.</li>
<li><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=664390853&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Taurus Shirt</a>: I'm a sucker for a graphic tee and this one is perfect for me.</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">Long time, no post!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today's post, hopefully, will become a staple of my blog. As a skin care/beauty product lover, I have a lot of samples. In an attempt to de-clutter our house, I am trying to use these samples up and I will tell you all about them and if I would purchase or recommend. We will see how it goes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I decided to try out the Alterna Caviar Repair line. I have heard a lot of good things about this line and it is highly rated on Sephora. The line promises to repair your hair, resurface and rebuld the strands. The leave-in conditioner promises to do ten things: provide moisture, shine, smoothness, softness, anti-breakage, heat protection, light hold, UV protection, manageability, and strength.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I did not love the smell of this shampoo or conditioner. Luckily, it wasn't super noticeable and did not linger in my hair. The shampoo lathered nicely and my hair felt clean after using. I was nervous that the conditioner would not be thick enough for my taste - I have very long and thick hair so I like my conditioner to be thick to help with tangles. This conditioner felt amazing in my hair. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The leave in conditioner also worked amazingly. I overused the product and was worried that my hair would be greasy the next morning. Instead, my hair felt soft and felt nourished. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I did not notice that my hair was extra shiny but it did feel healthier and cleaner. I also noticed I had less frizz than normal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Would I recommend</b>: Yes! I thought this was a great product and would especially be great for girls with thicker hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Would I purchase</b>: I would purchase the leave in conditioner, but I probably wouldn't purchase the conditioner or shampoo unless a deal was running on it. While this is a great product, I have too many shampoos and conditioners to use for now. I may purchase down the road.</span></div>

The Sephora VIB Sale started today if you are a VIB Rouge member. I am a VIB Rouge member, which is slightly embarrassing because it means I spend WAY too much money at Sephora. One of the perks is that you get 15% off during the sale, and early access. If you're a VIB Rouge member, check your email for the code and get to shopping. Below are the items I picked up today. I try to pick up my skin care essentials while they are on sale, plus any items I've been curious about trying so I don't feel as guilty if I don't love them. I also replenish any perfumes I'm running low on or any perfume I've been curious about trying.<br />

I'm a big believer in accessories. My favorite outfits consist of solid pieces and statement jewelry - think a black dress with neon pink earrings. While jewelry from Forever 21 is nice and definitely spruces up an outfit, solid and quality pieces that are long lasting are what I tend to purchase. That being said, no surprise that I am obsessed with Kendra Scott.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kendrascott.com%2F&pid=uid6804-33645798-20">Kendra Scott </a>pieces are high quality, beautiful, and relatively inexpensive. Every time I wear one of her necklaces or her earrings I always get compliments. Plus, the pieces come in a variety of colors. Shop my favorite pieces below.<br />

T and I recently went to the beach with my parents to celebrate my birthday. I'm a beach girl - I love being at the beach. As I've gotten older, I've learned to pack a bag so that I can stay on the beach for most of the day. Here is what I packed in my beach bag:<br />

I'm obsessed with stationary. I love to buy new pens, paper, paper clips, it doesn't matter - if it's cute and I can use it in the office, there is a good chance I'll buy it.<br />
<br />
My friends in law school were big fans of May Books, but I never purchased any. I've been wanting cute notebooks I can throw in my work bag to jot down to-dos and notes from impromptu meetings. I decided to check out <a href="http://www.maydesigns.com/">May Designs</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi72dOy-9u1pSCBsEAISNFM5tHCg7s4o5H3g1E6kgXenoyZtk9YYgI1QhzqOa0-JOIoTCXOD1FtavWSmAgkShOxB_AxZsTEh8qtPe7cJKvpXN4oEnhNhUID5AH16MGp9rQdmKF6va-GKRA/s1600/IMG_6959.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi72dOy-9u1pSCBsEAISNFM5tHCg7s4o5H3g1E6kgXenoyZtk9YYgI1QhzqOa0-JOIoTCXOD1FtavWSmAgkShOxB_AxZsTEh8qtPe7cJKvpXN4oEnhNhUID5AH16MGp9rQdmKF6va-GKRA/s320/IMG_6959.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I loved being able to pick the design over my cover. There were so many to pick from! You can also put your monogram on the front and May Designs tells you what color monogram is a good choice to match your layout. You can also pick how you want the inside pages to look - I picked pink lines for the inside of my pineapple May Book. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was very impressed with the shipping time as well. I thought that it would take forever for the May Books to arrive because they are customized, however they arrived within a few days - they actually arrived quicker than an Amazon order I placed. </div>

I'm a bare necessities kind of girl when it comes to wearing make up. In law school, I wore under eye concealer, mascara, a tinted lip balm, and maybe foundation if I needed some extra coverage. However, now that I'm out of school and working, I find myself only wearing mascara. I'm usually in a hurry to get out the door in the morning and I also hate the way makeup feels on my skin after a long day.<br />
<br />
Since I've cut my makeup routine down to basically mascara, I find myself experimenting with different brands and new formulas. I recently purchased the Tartiest Lash Paint Mascara from Sephora. I've used Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara in the past and I loved it. I wish I could say the same for Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara.<br />

When I use mascara, I want my lashes to look full, long, and I like the color to be dark black. I don't like clumping and I'm not fond of overly wet mascaras.<br />
<br />
Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara is a very wet formula, and it also clumped very badly on my lashes. I also did not like the look it gave my eyelashes. The mascara didn't make my lashes look fuller and it didn't make them look longer - they just looked darker. Also, by the end of the day the mascara was under my eyes and on my eyelids, which is not a good look.<br />
<br />
I used this mascara for a week and I would not recommend purchasing it. If you're in the market for a mascara and want to try a Tarte product, I recommend Lights, Camera, Lashes.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
T is currently in Orlando, so I have the house to myself for a week. I was supposed to join him, but my grandfather passed away last week and I could not afford to miss anymore school. I plan on cleaning the house and watching a lot of reality television while he is gone.<br />
<br />
Today I went to Charlotte and treated myself for making Dean's List (!!!!!!). Here are some of the things I bought.<br />

</div>
<b>Old Navy Jeans </b>- I am OBSESSED with Rockstar jeans from Old Navy. They are so comfortable and they fit perfectly. Plus, they are inexpensive and hold up after multiple wear & washes.<br />
<b>Kate Spade Watch</b> - I love watches, and when I saw this adorable Kate Spade watch with hearts at Nordstrom, I knew it would be perfect for Valentine's Day. The hearts are small enough to wear anytime though and I think it's the perfect touch to an outfit.<br />
<b>Tory Burch Metallic Reva</b> - I bought these in the rose gold color from Tory Burch, but the gold color is beautiful as well. I usually wear an 8.5 in Reva, but these do not have the elastic back so I bought an 8.<br />
<b>Tory Burch Miller</b> - I own many pairs of the Miller sandal, and I honestly bought these because my flats were killing me and I wanted some sandals. I wanted this color for awhile so what could have been a silly purchase actually turned out to be worthwhile. I wear a 9 in these.<br />
<b>Tory Burch for FitBit</b> - I just got the FitBit Flex and the band for the Flex is not the cutest thing in the world. I thought the bangle made the Flex look more like an accessory than a fitness tracker. It is kind of heavy, but it is similar to wearing a watch.<br />
<br />
Also Everyday Legalese has a new design! I love it.<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you do when you have the house to yourself?</div>

When I started this blog, I greatly underestimated how busy I would be with school. Quick update - I'm a 3L now and I've started a new job, which I LOVE. Hopefully I will be posting more regularly now that I am on winter break from school.
I've always taken really good care of my skin. Beginning in high school, I saw my dermatologist every time I had any acne for an "acne shot". I know it sounds extreme, but it helped prevent scarring and my insurance paid for it. Fast forward to law school, and my skin started suffering. I think it was the combination of stress, eating bad, hypothyroidism, and being away from my dermatologist. However, I have a new skin routine and I am loving how clear my skin is looking.

<b><a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=99984632&pid=uid225-24879985-42">First Aid Beauty Cleanser</a></b> I've raved about FAB on my blog before and I am still obsessed with their products. Perfect for all skin types, but especially for sensitive skin. I love this cleanser so much, I can't count how many tubes I have used up.
<b><a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=375062971&pid=uid225-24879985-42">First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream</a></b> This moisturizer is a life saver.I had been using a moisturizer from Clinque, and while I still love it, I did notice that it was causing me to have a lot of blackheads after continuous use. I save the Clinque one for nights where my skin needs some extra moisture, but the FAB one is perfect for everyday use.
<b><a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=406501148&pid=uid225-24879985-42">Peter Thomas Roth Peeling Gel</a></b> I bought this on Black Friday but I decided to give it to my mom. She used it and convinced me to try it. I was nervous about typically products like this are too harsh for my skin. I was so wrong. This peeling gel is so cool, it really does peel away the dry skin and leaves your skin glowing and feeling so soft. I use it twice a week and I really think it has been the main source of my clear skin lately.
What products are you using?

To me, the perfect summer fragrance either smells like what I imagine tropical vacations smelling like or it's similar to sunscreen. Bobbi Brown's "Beach" perfume is the perfect summer fragrance. This perfume smells just like sunscreen, which to me is amazing. <br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="230" scrolling="no" seamless="seamless" src="https://social.popsugar.com/shopsense/slider?w=550&h=230&r=1&ids=339187349&color=2551871ebec9c35e9cb8a693b82d34c0&pid=uid225-24879985-42" style="background: #fff; margin: 0 auto;" width="550"></iframe><br />
I was on the fence about buying this perfume for awhile because it is pretty pricey for a perfume that I will only wear in the summer, but I'm so glad I finally bought it. The scent is the perfect pick me up during the day and it makes me feel like I'm on vacation when I'm actually at work or in school. I can't stop talking to my friends about this fragrance.<br />
<br />
I recommend this fragrance to anyone who wants a summery scent or really loves the smell of sunscreen. One tip: buy the rollerball version as well. This scent doesn't have amazing staying power, which is unfortunate since it is pricey so the rollerball will help keep the fragrance alive during the day. </div>

June was a busy month for me, and July has been too so far! Here are the products I've used up recently and if I would repurchase them!<br />
<br />
<b>Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla</b><br />
I usually use drugstore concealers for my everyday use, but I heard everyone rave about this concealer from Nars so I figured I would give it a try. I love it! I use the color vanilla which is for fair complexions with pink undertones. I would recommend going into Sephora and having them colormatch you.<br />
<br />
<b>Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47</b><br />
I absolutely adore Josie Maran products and this moisturizer is a favorite. Usually SPF moisturizers break me out, but this one doesn't and it leaves my skin feeling soft and not greasy. I recommend this for people with sensitive dry skin, but fair warning it will make your foundation look cakey if you're wearing a lot of make up.<br />
<br />
<b>Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Bisque</b><br />
This has been my go to lately for getting ready in the morning. I've gone through several tubes of this trying to find my right shade and I think Bisque is the right color for me. I love how easy it is to apply in the mornings.<br />
<br />
<b>Nest Candle in Moroccan Amber</b><br />
I love the scent of this candle and the throw is excellent, but I won't be repurchasing it for me because it's too expensive. It does, however, make a great gift.<br />
<br />
<b>Clinque Moisture Surge Intense</b><br />
This has been my favorite nighttime moisturizer. I apply it at night and when I wake up my skin looks refreshed and glowing. Perfect for those with sensitive dry skin.<br />
<br />
<b>Bastiste Dry Shampoo in Wild</b><br />
This is my favorite scent of Batiste, but I love all of the others as well. My favorite dry shampoo because it blends easily into my hair and I'm a brunette.<br />
<br />
<b>Covergirl Lashblast Clump Crusher in Black Brown</b><br />
I typically use blackest black in mascaras, but lately I've been using black brown for work because I feel like it looks more natural. I will repurchase this because I love it on its own and layered with other mascaras.<br />
<br />
<b>Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil</b><br />
As I said before, I'm obsessed with Josie Maran (I promise I'm not sponsored!). This cleansing oil takes off all my make up and doesn't break me out. I will be repurchasing this because I love it so much.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I love drugstore products, but there are some higher end products that I believe are completely worth the hype. I thought it would be fun to start sharing some of these products with you all each Wednesday!<br />
<br />
I received the a sample of Nirvana Black and Nirvana White from Sephora as a apart of their perk system. The scents smell amazing on their own, but you can also combine them and OMG it smells divine.<br />
<br />
My favorite on it own is Nirvana Black, but Nirvana White is also amazing. I personally like to layer them and every time I've worn this perfume I've gotten a compliment!<br />

Nirvana Black is described as sensual violet, sandalwood, and vanilla. Nirvana White is described as delicate peony, muguet, and musk. </div>
<div id="details" style="line-height: 16px; margin: 10px auto 20px; padding: 10px; width: 600px;">
Since I'm so in love with these fragrances, I thought it would be fun to giveaway a rollerball of the scent. There will be 1 winner and the winner can pick which scent they prefer to receive! This giveaway will end on July 15th.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to be honest, I go back and forth on rather or not I enjoy Lilly Pulitzer. I typically love all of her prints on accessories, like bags or cell phone cases, but usually the more cutesy, animals one I don't love as much on clothing. Lately, I've found myself craving her bright prints to liven up my outfits. A bright, bold print is perfect for summer and that is something Lilly does well. Here are some of my favorite pieces as of late.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love watching product empties on YouTube because it's a way to learn about new products and hear from reviews on them, especially considering the dedication it takes to sometimes finish a product. Here are some of the products I've used up lately and if I would repurchase them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Crest 3D White</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Crest 3D white because it really whitens my teeth without making them too sensitive. I've already repurchased this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Herbal Essences Naked Moisturizing Shampoo</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh.my.God. I loved this shampoo so much. It smells amazing and the smell lasts in your hair, plus it does an amazing job at getting your hair clean. I repurchased this and I can't wait to use it again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>First Aid Beauty 5in1 Eye Cream</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed using this eye cream because it didn't irritate my eyes. It was definitely moisturizing and a great eye cream but I will probably hold off on repurchasing since I have some other eye creams to try out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Simple Soothing Facial Toner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know a lot of people are a huge fan of this toner, but I hated it. I only finished the whole bottle because I didn't want to waste it. I didn't feel like it got my skin clean and I felt like it dried my skin out when it was drying. I'm sticking with me So Totally Clean toner I mentioned <a href="http://everydaylegalese.blogspot.com/2014/02/nighttime-routine.html">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't rave enough about this product or any of FAB's products. I love it and I will be repurchasing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Suave Moroccan Infusion Lotion</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used this lotion in the morning before going to class and I loved it. It smells amazing and its light. I will be repurchasing because it's super cheap and definitely moisturizing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Herbal Essences Naked Moisturizing Condition</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved this conditioner as much as I did the shampoo. Definitely repurchase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bliss Soapy Suds</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hated this body wash. I bought two different scents and while I love the scents, I hate the product. I started off loving it but then I switched to a new body wash and realized how drying this body wash was. Won't be repurchasing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Spring is here and summer will be soon enough, which means warm weather and cute sandals! I have a few go to pair of warm weather shoes that are essentials for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Fun Sandals</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also keep a pair of cute, fun sandals in my car for changing into if I don't want to ruin my nicer sandals. These Kate Spade ones are perfect for throwing on to add a little flair to an outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Jack Rogers</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Jack Rogers and I have too many pairs to admit to. They dress up any outfit but look super cute with casual outfits as well. My next purchase will be a bone colored pair to go with everyout fit this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Tory Burch "Miller"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Millers are my second favorite sandal. I have them in a variety of color, but I find myself reaching for the brown or silver ones the most. Super comfortable, especially compared to Jack Rogers. They are expensive, but worth the price.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Wedges</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was never a wedge fan in undergraduate, but now that I'm a little bit older I really love wearing them with dresses for a little dressier feel. These Steve Madden ones would look great with maxi dresses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mother's Day is in less than a month, which means its time to start shopping for gifts! Here are some ideas I'm thinking about for my mom (aka my best friend :) ) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Jo Malone Perfume </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jo Malone makes amazing perfumes with beautiful scents that are mature enough for you to enjoy and your mom. I'm loving the Orange Blossom scent for spring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Coffee Table Book </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom is constantly updating our living room and guest room with fun details. This Kate Spade book would be a great addition to her guest room, plus I could read it next time I'm home.
<b>Bedroom Slippers & Robe</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put together a basket full of spa essentials and include these bedroom slippers and robe to make your mom feel like the queen she is. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Earrings </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These Kate Spade studs are simple and sweet and a perfect price point for keeping on budget.
<b>Nest Candle </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Nest Candles because they smell amazing and the throw is amazing. This one is on sale and the design is super cute.

<br /></div>
Recently, Sephora had their VIB sale, and I just couldn't resist picking up a few items. The first two things I put into my bag were the Josie Maran argan oil cleansing oil and the body butter. I love Josie Maran products because they're made with great ingredients, they smell great, and the company gives to charity. I also bought the Tarte Amazonian pressed powder because I'm currently loving the foundation. The last thing I purchased was the Bobbi Brown blush in Apricot because I've heard so many gurus obsess over it, I had to try it out too.

When I see a piece of clothing that has a scalloped edge or detail, I feel the immediate need to purchase it and then wear it way too often. Last week, four of the five outfits I wore to school featured a scallop detail, which I don't know if that is sad or impressive. There is something so pretty and feminine, yet bold and interesting, about a scalloped edge or detail that just adds that extra element to a piece. I think that no matter what you're style is, a scalloped item should be apart of your wardobe. Here are some of my current favorite scalloped items.

<div style="text-align: center;">
This month, I was lucky enough to receive a Uni VoxBox from Influenster. Here is what was inside my box and what I think of them so far!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>NYC New York Color Expert Last Lipstick</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm a fan of most NYC products, because they are inexpensive, yet good quality. This lipstick is a beautiful spring color and did not dry my lips out. I highly recommend running out to Target and purchasing this lipstick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2hGs_jjmBudqdf65KOk6GfPwg6GiEFeI9KGV-64vAPzlpKqOaTQEnNMhWq4rlP4V4ihyphenhyphenva9Gc4T7MDHnQQetsRqmgL9rc7lTto285WG5q48vpo3iSOwyAYKKqT6azBSOg7kxDxW5l1TM/s1600/IMG_6137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2hGs_jjmBudqdf65KOk6GfPwg6GiEFeI9KGV-64vAPzlpKqOaTQEnNMhWq4rlP4V4ihyphenhyphenva9Gc4T7MDHnQQetsRqmgL9rc7lTto285WG5q48vpo3iSOwyAYKKqT6azBSOg7kxDxW5l1TM/s1600/IMG_6137.jpg" height="320" width="181" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was nervous about trying this foundation because I have dry skin, and I usually try to stay away from matte products, unless they are lip products. This foundation gives very good coverage, and a little bit goes a long way. I wasn't a huge fan of the effect on me, but I could definitely see this being a lovely product for girls with oilier skin.</div>

<b>Broadway Nails imPRESS Manicures</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my second time receiving imPRESS nails, and I'm never impressed. The design on these nails are not appropriate for my everyday life, and they never stick well. I would not recommend these.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Pilot Acroball Pure White</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7gqFhouq8HUrnrjdX__2U9D6ikXi7UnT7RSFGOLfO2wTvk2hFWKi3MM9CvAywah9Uv4o0feLPBbuHyrO3nNXqLQ8nXFnJUYRDzaFsPZQVC59jzcmI-Q-4x2PRr0kIYR7gAGdMasZjl3A/s1600/IMG_6133.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7gqFhouq8HUrnrjdX__2U9D6ikXi7UnT7RSFGOLfO2wTvk2hFWKi3MM9CvAywah9Uv4o0feLPBbuHyrO3nNXqLQ8nXFnJUYRDzaFsPZQVC59jzcmI-Q-4x2PRr0kIYR7gAGdMasZjl3A/s1600/IMG_6133.jpg" height="320" width="214" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the product I was the most excited about (how sad is that!) This pen works wonderfully and the fine point is perfect for writing notes in my planner. I definitely went out and bought a set of these pens.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Red Rose Tea Premium Water Enhancers</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't use water enhancers, so I let T test this one out. He was not fan, but he also isn't a huge "tea" person. It smelled great though! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Playtex Sport Fresh Balance</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a Playtex fan, but these were scented which is a no-no becuase no one likes a UTI (you know it's true). I'm sure there are great, but I couldn't risk it to try them.</div>
