BLACK FRIDAY PURCHASES

Hey guys! I know this post is a little delayed but my order from old navy finally came today! Honestly I’m not a Black Friday shopping person and I personally never feel like the sales are worth it! I had went to target which was really disappointed in there sales! But they had if spend $50 you get a 20% off coupon! So I had a couple things to equal $50 so I could purchase the full priced stuff that I wanted originally! I had picked up this sweatshirt from target for $15! Best purchase ever and I’ve been wearing it not non stop! Also got this pajamas set for $12! I picked this one because it wasn’t christmasy. I always think that all the Christmas apparel is really tacky.. oops! Stripes are a staple for me and I would ever wear this top with leggings and a jacket for cute outfit! The blanket was a steal of a deal! Only $18! I have white bedding so this is nice because I don’t really have worry about staining my bedding. Also makes me feel so cozy and warm! I chose the king size because they were all the same price. I had picked this Johnny Cash graphic t in the men’s section! They were only $8 and a few days later I went back and picked up a Metallica one! I love men’s shirt so much more than girls and the fit is better and crozier!

My other Black Friday purchases came from old navy! I have known for a while that I moving to somewhere that has cold winters! I have been trying to find good, cute, and warm coats but I want them to be affordable! Old navy was having 50% off and I have their credit card so I had $15 in rewards to use so I got both jackets under $25 each! I had picked up this deep green pea coat and Sherpa leather jacket! So excited to wear and style these!

GIFT GUIDE UNDER $175

Hello guys! I thought I would just pop on here real quick and post a guide for you guys! I tried to chose practical things that someone would use or wouldn’t spend the money on themselves. I’m really awful at picking out gifts but these are all universal. I know people think that gift cards are impersonal but I think they are perfect. A few years ago I got my mom and sister gifts card to ulta because they wouldn’t normally treat themselves. I tried to keep a lot of the things on a bugdet! Everything is under $175 but mostly everything is under $100. So if you recommend a thing else leave me a comment down below.

EGYPTIAN MAGIC FIRST IMPRESSION

Hey guys! I’ve recently searching everywhere to find Egyptian magic. I watch Allie Sevdalis and she swears by this product so I wanted to put it to the test. She said you can find a mini size for $5 at Walmart. So everytime I went on a Walmart run I searched for it but never had any luck. I finally it found at Walmart but it was $14.95 which is what I wanted to spend but I down to try anything that will dramatically help my skin. I went up to the cash register and rang up for $24 but did give me the $14.96 price. I did my normal skincare routine but substituted this for my moisturizer. It honestly reminds of Vaseline a little bit when applying to the face. The best way I can describe it is like a hard putty if that makes sense! (Like soft candle wax) It’s hard to get product because it’s a solid but melts by the warmth of your fingers. I did put a little to much after it warmed up to my skin but just rubbed into my skin which I usually have to do with more “oily” products because I do have oily skin and rubbing it in makes me look a little less like a grease ball. So far I don’t dislike but don’t love it yet. I will also try underneath makeup and see how that works for me. I have dry texture skin also which gets worse in the winter so I hoping this helps! MORNING AFTER: I have rosacea so a lot of the time I wake up with my face really red. Also the red makes looks 10x worse than normal but it’s something I can’t really control. When I woke up this morning my face didn’t awful but you could tell that my face was red so it didn’t look the best. The redness just accentuates my pimples or my acne scaring underneath. It didn’t look horrible but didn’t look flawless by any means either. But honestly that happens time to time with my favorite moisturizer (Clinique moisture surge instse). However my skin did look somewhat clear which is what I like. And I feel like it did reduce the size of my acne on my face. UNDERNEATH MAKEUP: I did really like how my foundation went on. It was a tiny bit harder to blend but nothing to bent out of shape about. However one thing I did not like is it oxidized right away more quickly than normal. It made my foundation more dewy which is fine but I still need to set it with a powder. It looked still dry but it weekend so haven’t exfoliated my face so that’s why! (Set on a routine) I will try this one more time to see if my option changes. So overall I do like this product but I am still really unsure! I will keep trying it and update you guys in Cooke days so stay tuned!

UPDATE: I love this product! It’s very moisturizing which i love because although I have oily skin I get very dry on myskin also. I think I was just using too much product in so I looked like a grease ball but doesn’t make super oily like other products do. Tried it underneath my favorite and it was super nice and also feel like it applied just as easy! Also it didn’t oxidize like last which is really weird! It definitely makes my face my makeup more dewy if I set it with Cody airspun powder doesn’t make me overly dewy! Overall very happy I picked this up and excited to me if it’s a miracle product for my skin. Also linked it from multiple sites depending the size and where you wanna shop!Let me know your beauty staples and see you guys soon!
