Wet n Wild My Melody and Kuromi Full Collection Box for Summer 2020

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

What’s cooler than the Wet n Wild Pac Man Collection? That would be the new My Melody and Kuromi Makeup Collection! Ahhhh! I’m so excited! I’m a complete kid so this My Melody and Kuromi Full Collection Box is screaming at me to snag it. It didn’t take me too long to hit submit on this and buy it. I’ve always been a Sanrio fan and Hello Kitty is so my jam. I have t-shirts, I have purses, I have school supplies, hell, I have have underwear with Sanrio characters. I’m not sorry about any of this. I remember when I was in like the 4th grade and my friend had one of those incredibly cool Hello Kitty pencil cases! I begged my mother for one.

Honestly though, as much as I love Hello Kitty one of my fav Sanrio characters is My Melody and of course, her arch enemy, Kuromi! Wet n Wild hasn’t released the collection individually as of yet but this My Melody and Kuromi Full Collection Box features the entire collection. It contains two different eyeshadow palettes with sixteen shades each that represent My Melody’s colors and Kuromi’s in the other. It also includes two shades of Liquid Matte Lip Color, two glosses, an eyeshadow brush, face brush, makeup bag, and a BlushLighter Palette much like the Wet n Wild Pac-Man High Score Blush Palette.

I’m not sure about Kuromi’s colors but I’m loving the pretty pinks in My Melody’s Eyeshadow Palette! This was a no brainer pick up for me! I can’t wait to get it. At some point, I’m sure that Wet n Wild will release the collection individually as well but if you love My Melody the entire Wet n Wild My Melody and Kuromi Full Collection Box for Summer 2020 is available now at Ulta for $65.

E.L.F. Ride or Die Lip Balm for Summer 2020

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

What’s your ride or die makeup item? Concealer for me! And Hard Candy Sheer Envy Bake, Brighten & Set Loose Powder to set it (yes, I love Ben Nye but if you can believe it I use Hard Candy more).

It’s a bad time to introduce a lip balm but speaking of ride or due products here’s the new E.L.F. Ride or Die Lip Balm that launched for Summer 2020. These $5 lip balms are available in four shade selections with a vegan, cruelty-free formula. They contain an infusion of rose oil and collage and give lips a sheer wash color with a pop of shine and a heavy dose of moisture to repair dry, cracked lips!

Shades include:

  • Mighty Mint (clear)
  • Boss Berry (sheer red berry)
  • Tough Cookie (sheer warm caramel)
  • Just Peachy (sheer orange peach)

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Dewy blush! Do you think they’ll be that pigmented? Maybe…! We’ll have to try that out!

E.L.F. Ride or Die Lip Balm are popping up now on the brand’s website.

A Monday Love List Filled with Beauty, Home Decor, and Skincare

Wakey, wakey! Happy Monday!

Summer is here and the humidity is setting in. Gotham is going through some weird weather where it’s beautiful one minute and suddenly we’re having a tornado the next! Yesterday, was a bit rainy and the humidity quickly set in as well as some sun but suddenly, out of no where, BOOM! A big old gusty thunderstorm. I managed to enjoy the weekend anyway rain or not. It’s hard doing all the things you want to do when you have to social distant. I still haven’t seen any of my friends nor my parents and it’s going on four months now. Facetime, text, and Zoom time are about the extend of the personal contact I have with friends and my parents/family. I managed to sneak into Joann’s this weekend and they had a ton of Fall stuff which brought me endless amounts of joy but sadly, I got paranoid as I felt like there were too many people inside the store so I ran out ha…! I also did a little strawberry picking which was a bit sad as I normally do it with my two best friends every year. We always love going together! I would have dragged my boyfriend but he’s back in CA working so I went alone. Sniff! But hey, the strawberries were still delicious even without my besties.

None the less, Summer is creeping in and even though it’s not my season of choice I’m happy to see it arrive as I feel like it was a really, really, really longer Winter.

It’s Monday so, I’m sleepy and zombie-like but as always productive! There’s very little room for procrastination today. I’ve been swamped with work since I got up this morning and there’s no room for sitting around and not getting stuff done. I’m almost half way through my list for the day and it’s only 11AM (this will post is scheduled to go live later today at 2PM so at this point I’m sure I’ll almost be complete with it by that point).

It’s a new week and there’s plenty of new things to love on this bright, sunny Morning!

Lemons
It’s Summer! Which means I’ve hauled out all my lemon-y Summer home decor. My kitchen has exploded with lemon and lemonade everything. I’ve hauled out some of my favorite Rae Dunn pieces like my Lemonade Pitcher to pair up with these cute glittery lemons I got at Wally World. Today’s love list is filled with the tart goodness of lemons! If I may might I recommend snagging this adorable Lemonade Bird House? My friend texts me last week about it and I quickly snagged it online! I actually didn’t use it outside. I popped it on a shelf in my kitchen! It’s looks adorable with my other lemon themed items.

Tony Moly Eye Everything
My eyes feel extra dry lately so I’ve been trying out some new eye creams and serums. I picked up the new Tony Moly Moisture Boost Cooling Algae Eye Serum (on sale at Ulta) and I’m quite loving it! Great formula that absorbs easily and leaves the skin under my eyes plumped and hydrated! They also have new Moisture Boost Hydrogel Eye Patches which are pretty awesome as well!

INC.redible For The First Time Bounce Blush
Does anyone have a small face? I’m a fluffy girl but my face is apparently small? Because when I wear a mask my entire face is cover except my eyes. So why am I wearing blush!? Eh, I do it to feel pretty. I’m really into the little $10 INC.redible For The First Time Bounce Blush in Natural Finish! It’s a pretty apricot shade that gives my cheeks a healthy flush! No one can see it but it doesn’t transfer to my mask thankfully and it’s super pigmented so a little goes a really long way! Do love!

Duping Rae Dunn
You might know I’m a little (a lot) bit obsessed with Rae Dunn. It’s a serious problem ha…! My friends and family (never mind my BF that just mentally rolls his eyes when I bring a new piece into the house) are always asking me, “Why is everything labeled!?” Listen, I like things that say EAT, DRINK, YUM, it’s cute ok!?!? 😀 My new hobby, thank you quarantine, is creating Rae Dunn dupes. I found an Etsy seller, who’s awesome, that does Rae Dunn labels and I buy different canisters and such and label them however, I want. For example, I recently purchased a candy jar from Amazon and filled it with dishwasher pods and slammed a “DO THE DISHES” label on it. I also created one for my laundry room that says “WASH UP”. Am I a dork? Why, yes, I am! But it’s the little things that bring joy 🙂

Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength Haircare
Carol’s Daughter has a new collection if hair care called Goddess Strength which contains castor oil to strengthen hair. Did I mention it smells amazing!? The Leave-In Cream is my new favorite way to detangle my hair! Love!

Do you have a love list?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Starts Starts August 2020 With An Early Preview July 24th for All

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Guess what? The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts in August and has an early preview coming July 24th for everyone! Typically the sale happens in July but as per an earlier post I did back in April I did mention that Nordstrom might postpone the Anniversary Sale and that’s exactly what they did as it’s happening nearly a month after the traditional date! And I’m ok with that! Don’t get me wrong I love shopping the sale as much as everyone else but I’m not always ready for Fall Fashion and Makeup Collections in July as it feels like they are rushing Summer away too quickly. August 13th is perfect as it’s just right to start planning your wardrobe and color choices for the autumn season ahead.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was delayed due to the impacts of COVID-19 and Nordy’s did take a little extra time to ensure your comfort and safety of everyone when planning the event. This year Anniversary Sale will be from August 19-30 but depending your Nordy’s Status you can shop as early as August 13th.

All cardmembers can shop Early Access starting August 13 or even earlier depending on your Nordy Club status. Everyone else can officially shop the sale August 19-30. Any items on sale will remain on sale until August 31. You can shop the sale in stores that are open for business depending on your location during normal business hours and online shopping begins at 9:30am ET at nordstrom.com.

In a new twist Nordstrom is giving everyone early preview access on sale items starting July 24th which gives you an easier way to create a wish list. In the past, this was limited to card and reward members. But this year everyone will have a chance to view the offerings ahead of time. From my understanding there will be no print catalog this year and the preview will be online only.

Icon, Ambassador or Influencer status will get even more time to shop Early Access which also includes the six days of Early Access all card members get.

Schedule:

  • Icon: July 24th Preview Shopping Days August 4th-18th
  • Ambassador July 24th Preview Shopping Days August 7th-18th
  • Influencer July 24th Preview Shopping Days August 10th-18th
  • Insiders July 24th Preview Shopping Days August 13th-18th

The Anniversary Sale is coming to Canada starting August 19-September 3 at nordstrom.ca.

Sadly, the sale isn’t quite what it once was but I’m hoping since they had more time to prepare we’ll see a better job of it this year. Keeping my fingers crossed for that. I do think that year is going to a MAJOR sale. As in they’ll be a lot of luxury items on the chopping block. The “sale” isn’t typically a sale but the last two or so years and it’s actually turned into one and you can get some steep discounts. This year, I think you’ll see even more of that.

Are you excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
