Small Forever 21 Accessory Haul!



    All of the items I purchased are still available on the Forever 21 website. Each item listed above is linked to the product page.

    I'm loving everything I purchased, and my only regret is purchasing the leaf necklace. I only own a few necklaces, and I'm really liking the layering trend, so I thought it would look cute layered with some other simple gold necklaces. I usually avoid buying necklaces from Forever 21, especially if they are gold because after 1-2 uses they change color and I won't wear them after that. I took a chance and didn't even wear the necklace yet, and the gold already changed. It was bright yellow gold when I purchased it and now it's a dull silver-gold. Oh well. You can't win them all, right?

    My favorite things are the knuckle ring, which is surprisingly comfortable. It has a hinge, so both ends move slightly when you bend your finger for a more comfortable fit. I've been wearing it almost every day since I got it.

    This is my other favorite purchase. Another item I've been wearing every day. I usually pair it with the arrowhead earrings. Really cute and edgy. I love that it's a loose fit, so even if I'm wearing long sleeves, the spikes peek through.

    Yay, it's already the weekend! Have any plans?

    Chanel Santal and Ming Rouge Allure Laque

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Discover the pure indulgence of liquid lip lacquer, a colour innovation that could only come from CHANEL. Intensely rich colour and shine last for hours -- and the temptingly creamy formula conditions as it hydrates lips. All this, with full coverage, in eight stunning shades.

    Like mentioned, there are only eight shades available: Coromandel, Imperial, Dynastie, Dragon, Ming, Santal, Phoenix and Mandarin. The two most wearable shades are Santal and Ming, which is why I chose both!

    **NOTE** I purchased product TESTERS. So the packaging will differ when purchased at a counter. Click HERE to view more details on the Chanel website.

    Lancome Sienna Sultry Color Design 5 Shadow & Liner Palette Review!

    Lancome Color Design 5 Shadow & Liner Palette

    An all-in-one five-shadow palette for brightening the eyes.

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: These alluring palettes feature silky, lustrous, long-wearing powders that transparently wrap the skin resulting in a seamless layering of pure color and a radiant finish. Build with absolute precision and apply the shades in five simple steps (all over, lid, crease, highlighter, and liner) to design your customized eye look. Contour, sculpt, and lift with soft day colors or intensify your look with dramatic evening hues for smoky effects. 

    There are 12 palettes available. To view them all, click HERE to be re-directed to the Sephora product page.

    Sienna Sultry contains a matte soft pink-beige, bubble-gum pink shimmer, matte soft brown, golden copper shimmer and a deep brown shimmer. All shades are suppose to go together to create a certain look. Lancome gives you a little guide for the color placement of each shade. In this particular palette the colors do go well together. I have to say though, I was really disappointed with this palette.

    What I'm wearing/using lately.

    I switch up the products I use just about every day otherwise I'd never get through any of my products. Typically when I find myself using the same products over and over for longer than a week, I always find it worthy of a blog post.

    * I apologize that this post is a little photo heavy, but the lighting was fantastic today, so I took advantage of it by snapping lots of photos.
