Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

12/02/2016


Happy first Friday of December! This week has been a doozy so I am beyond ready for the weekend. I don't know about you but I am utterly in shock it's already December. This girl needs to get a start on her Christmas shopping, huh? It's weird because part of me feels like it should still be October and another part of me is already in February/March of 2017 thanks to how far ahead we plan at work. It's definitely safe to say that the holidays have crept up on me and when my mom asked me for a Christmas list yesterday I was drawing a blank. Thankfully everyone has been posting gift guides lately and that has definitely been a huge help! But for now, I'm linking up with Amanda to share some of my Friday Favorites!

Friday Five - 12/2/16



1 // Has anyone heard about the Tarte Shape Tape?  I heard about it but didn't really pay much attention until one of my co-workers (hi Allie!) asked me if I knew where she could get it because it was sold out pretty much every where. I did some more research and this stuff has AMAZING reviews. I'm already a fan of Tarte cosmetics but I was so sold on the NARS concealer that I never thought to give any thing else a try. As soon as this stuff is back in stock I will be purchasing immediately!
2 // I've been wanting the Maya Brenner Asymmetrical Letter Necklace for a few years now but just can't justify spending that much on it (right now) so when I saw this copycat version I knew I had to add it to my wish list! So cute and perfect for every day!
3 // I saw this dress on Ashley the other day and fell in love! It's such a gorgeous pattern and the fit is so flattering. It'd be perfect for upcoming holiday parties and after! Definitely scooping this up!
4 // If I wouldn't have received a free sample of this I never would have tried it and now I want to buy the full sized! It does an amazing job of cleansing your skin and it doesn't strip your skin. Not to mention it's perfect to travel with which I hope to do MUCH more of in 2017!
5 // Continuing with my initial theme... how cute are these studs? Of course they're out of stock on the "R" right now but when it's back in stock I might not be able to wait until Christmas.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

  6. See this is why I love beauty samples because I feel like I am missing out on awesome products that I normally wouldn't find. I can't wait to check out that cleanser, and that Tarte product. I just discovered their mascara and I love it!

  20. My mom, sister and husband have been asking what I want and honestly I'm drawing blanks. For our cousins secret santa, I could barely think up stuff to add to my wish list. Luckily gift guides have been giving me great ideas lately, that copycat initial necklace is totally making it's way on my list!
