Friday Favorites

I am SO HAPPY it's Friday! My alarm didn't even go off this morning... because I didn't set it. Because apparently that's how exhausted I was last night! I hear the weather is supposed to be HOT this weekend and I am welcoming it with open arms! We have weddings tomorrow and I am all about not being cold in my dress. :)

 

I'm sharing a few of my recent favorites with you all! Feel free to link up or share in the comments!

 

 

 

1. MultiVites

I don't know about you, but taking vitamins is not my strong point. It's hard for me to find a place to keep them where I remember to take them consistently! But that has changed due to MultiVites! I keep them on my desk at work and it is SUPER easy for me to grab a couple throughout the day - sort of like a candy fix!

 

2. Sunless Tanning @ SunTan City

I know.. I'm probably completely behind on the times, but every time I get a spray tan, I always make an appointment and have a live human being spray me. I completely avoided the machine sprays because I imagined the Ross scenario from the Friends episode where he forgets to turn.. you know?  And I could see that happening to me. Anyways, I was in desperate need of a spray tan this week and wasn't in the mood to bare all for some random lady. So I checked around, and you can spray tan for FREE at SunTan City (if it's your first time!) Wednesday - Sunday. Every week! So I was like... umm yes. Nothing to lose!

 

I gotta say.. I probably won't go back to my old ways! I did the clear spray which was awesome because I didn't have to worry about spray tan all over my clothes or sheets. AND I could run errands after without looking all weird and orange. And a few days later, I have to say...it's probably one of the most even and natural sprays I have ever had! Sold!

 

3. NYX Lip Cream "Stockholm"
 

How many times am I going to bring up NYX Lip Cream you ask? Probably every time I buy a new color that I can't live without. I LOVE this one. It may even replace "Abu Dhabi" as my current favorite.

 

 

4. Floral Rompers

I want them all! I am obsessed! I love this look.

I am especially into this particular one...which is not sold out yet...

 

 

Might have to pin that..... cleavage is not my forte.

 

5. Target online subscription

Ok, again, everyone is probably already doing this and I've just been missing out. But for a long time now I have been meaning to start buying all household necessities online. I feel like it just makes sense, ya know? Stock up on toilet paper, detergent, toothpaste, etc. and use coupons. Plus, free shipping and less of me trying to tote around heavy items.

I finally got around to this the other day and was totally confused when I saw the "subscribe" option at checkout on Target.com. So I checked it out, and they have it set up so that you can automatically receive some of these items every (2 or 5 or 10 or whatever weeks) AND you get a discount for doing so! I mean... obviously! If I don't  have to remember to buy laundry detergent on my own, why not? Totally awesome. So if you are like me and unaware... there ya go. You're welcome!

Hope everyone's weekend is fantastic!

xoxo

 

 

Review: NYX Pore Filler

I  have been waiting for Friday ALL WEEK!  Like everyone else. But as previously mentioned, I could use a little sleep-in tomorrow and I plan to take full advantage!

Last night I hit Omaha Fashion Week with A Midwestern Mix and you guys... we had so much fun. I'll recap the night {and all of the amazing people who got us ready for the event} in the coming weeks! I had no idea what to expect out it, but it really was awesome!

Anyways, on to business.

I can't be the only one who has annoyingly large pores in the most obvious places, right? Well, if I am, then so be it. But I doubt that. So what do you guys love to use to correct this issue? Obviously foundation helps a ton, but I love putting something on beforehand. Straight primer doesn't do a lot for me in the pore department. I'm wanting a primer/pore eraser mix!


I am aware of a few great products, one of them being Benefit Pore-fessional. I really do like this stuff and think it works -but when I ran out, I didn't run back to the store to replace it. Why? Well, its around $30 for a little tube. And yes, it does last quite a while. But I am looking to get thrifty.

So, when I saw NYX Pore Filler for $13.99 I thought...totally worth a try!

Here's the deal. If you have used Porefessional, you can probably attest to the fact that it really does "erase" the pores. It gives you a really, really smooth canvas to work with. It also gives you that "velvety" finish feeling- which  I personally love.

So as for NYX- it basically looks like the same formula when it comes out of the tube. It is tinted  (like Porefessional) and it has the velvet consistency. It feels great on your skin!

BUT.


And this is a big but. It did not erase my pores.

Umm okay? Sort of the whole point. It seems to be great as a smoother/primer- but it's literally called Pore Filler. And it didn't do that.

So I have to be honest and say this was a big miss for me! I'm definitely going to take it back. And .. I guess put my $14 towards another Porefessional purchase.

Has anyone else tried NYX? Let me know in the comments!  And as always, if you have any favorites that you think compare, PLEASE share!

Have a great weekend!
