Just as I was beginning to think the winter weather was coming to a close and spring was ready to be sprung, we got a blizzard. Even though I have been suffering with this spring fever, I was pleasantly pleased with this snow event that took place yesterday. It gave me the opportunity to take the day off and do a few things on my to-do list.
Getting ready this morning was no task! I knew exactly what I wanted to wear. Cue the cozy sweater. :) Chunky sweaters are great for layering up after a beautiful snowfall. I love the tribal pattern on this sweater, as well as the cut. It's so easy to throw on and wear. This sweater is versatile too! You could wear this with leggings for a cozy day around the house or even jazz it up with some faux leather pants and some chunkier earrings.

Ipsy- February Glam Bag Reveal
Last month, after hearing about this from several beauty vloggers, I decided to join Ipsy. Each month, you are charged just $10 for a fun bag containing 5 new deluxe makeup samples to try. This month, the theme was "Red Carpet Ready". While I was very excited to receive my very first Glam Bag, I felt that this months samples were not as generous compared to what I saw people reveal last month. However, I still will be using a few of these products! :)
1) The Pixi Flawless & Poreless primer creates a beautiful no-shine finish for flawless, long-lasting makeup application. This shine controlling, oil-free primer smooths out fine lines and hydrates while making pores instantly disappear. It is the perfect skin primer for all complexions and all skin types.

2) Coastal Scents Shadow Palette Samples are an ideal way to try these highly pigmented, stunning shadows. These miniature-sized samples contain four hand-selected shades by ipsy, making it easy to create a variety of looks. Wear these pressed powders dry or wet for a more intense, dramatic look.
3) This lash-POP-ing mascara makes lashes plump, long and lusciously flirty! Smudge proof formula adds volume while curling lashes up and out for a look that truly POPs your peepers!
4) Define eyes and apply eyeliner like a pro with the MicaBeauty Gel Eyeliner! This smooth, highly pigmented gel eyeliner glides over the lid evenly and dries quickly for a long-wearing, smudge-proof finish.
5) Apply your mascara perfectly with the Lash Card! Say goodbye to smudging, clumping, and messy mascara application. The Lash Card has two curves on each side that fit a variety of eye shapes, making it easy to get those hard-to-reach lashes.
These five items came in a small patent bag with red lining.

Even though spring is right around the corner, I still have been loving dark neutrals on my nails. I like to think it gives off some sort of sophistication. I also have this color painted on my toes right now, (which is rare to have them match) and I am loving it!
This color is Smokin' Hot by Essie.

New Favorite Perfume
For the last few years, I have been trying to find a fresh and sweet perfume that I can wear for everyday. I wear my Chanel Chance for night and other sweet scents like Kim Kardashian and Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy to switch it up. Last season, during the Bachelorette, the Possessionista had sourced that Emily Maynard wears Jimmy Choo perfume. She featured a picture of the bottle, and I immediately wanted to smell it. After getting many samples from Sephora to decide if I liked it, I finally made the purchase. When I first started using it, I wasn't so sure I was going to like it for everyday, but it really has begun to grow on me. The scent is just the perfect amount of sweet and floral, but still smells fresh and not overpowering.

This is the description listed on the Sephora website:
An expression of the modern woman’s aura, this scent at once conveys strength and beauty, glamour and confidence. Luminous green top notes join a heart of rich and exotic tiger orchid and lingering base notes of sweet toffee and Indonesian patchouli to leave a sensual memory on the skin. For the bottle, the opulence of jewel-colored Venetian Murano glass inspired its faceted design.
Notes:
Green, Tiger Orchid, Toffee, Sensual Indonesian Patchouli.
Style:
Feminine. Luxurious. Stylish.
This perfume is $75 for the 2.0 oz bottle and $98 for the 3.3 oz bottle. It can be purchased here. Also, let me include, this perfume come packaged in an adorable pink snakeskin box!

New Spring Lip Colors- Review and First Impressions
The best part of a new year is that all of my favorite brands come out with new products, packaging, and colors. So far, in this new year, I am REALLY loving all the new lip products. It seems like each drugstore brand has released a fun new lip product with gorgeous colors for spring. The two that I have really been drawn to are the Covergirl LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balms and the Maybelline Color Whisperers. I picked up a few of these, not realizing how much I was going to like them.
Introducing first, the Maybelline Color Whisperers...
And secondly, the Covergirl LipPerfection Jumbo Glosses...
