March 17, 2011


Items Shown (linked where available)
1. One shoulder tank, Free People, $98, Size: Small
2. Drop Pendant necklace, Target, $19.99
3. Ripped Lace Jeans, Rock && Republic, Hautelook, $80, Size: 26
4. Striped cardigan, French Connection United Kingdom, Gift, Size: Small
1. Falsies Mascara, Maybelline, Target, $5.00
I recently re-purchased Maybelline’s ‘the falsies’ mascara. I originally tried the formula in waterproof (accidentally) when it first debuted and hated it! It was clumpy, messy, && did nothing for my lashes- except I really did like the brush and how it worked on the lower lashes. After everyone convincing me to give it another go, I did- and here are the results. I’ll show a picture of my eye with 2 coats of the mascara, as well as a picture of my bare eye next to the eye with product so you can see what it does for yourself…
That’s after curling my lashes and applying 2 coats of mascara. It doesn’t beat my favorite (Lancome l’oscillation) but it is DEFINITELY worth trying and MUCH better than I had thought! And it definitely beats the price of my more expensive mascara. I’m happily admitting defeat 🙂 I would buy the mascara alone for the brush for the lower lashes- the trick is to twirl the brush so the rounded side faces down on the lower lashes, but the opposite for the top ones. 
time for my favorite- comfy clothes! 

Items shown (linked where available)
1. Cubs shirt, Victoria’s Secret, $26, Size: Small
2. Sox shirt, Victoria’s Secret, $26, Size: Small
3. Twisted heart flowered hoodie: $112, Size: Small
4. Swarovski covered bra, Victoria’s Secret, $250 Size: 34B
The baseball t’s fit true to size, but if you’re looking for a more casual sports-y fit I would go a size up. The bra didn’t come in many sizes (34B,C and D.. boo!) I normally wear a 32B bra and in Victoria’s Secret I normally wear a 32C (they always try to make you feel better..) so the 34 is definitely looser around me but I couldn’t refuse. Even if I just stare at it every day- it’s worth it. (..I have problems..)
Items shown:
1. Sheer Blonde ‘go blonder’ Shampoo, John Frieda, Target, $6
I thought this product was a newer formula because of the different packaging- and I ALWAYS try all the ‘blonde’ shampoos from each company! I was so excited until I realized that it was the same shampoo as before haha- but that’s okay because I LOVED the old formula! This was my go-to shampoo my junior year of college, especially my favorite in the spring- what a good time to reuse it! I’ve heard some negative reviews on the formula, but I’ve personally never had a problem with it. It’s never really ‘lightened’ my hair all that much, but I like the smell and what it does for my hair. I thought I’d include the old picture in case you were mistaken like me.
Items not pictured:
Sox hoodie (Not available online) Size small, $40
Hautelook shoes, size 9, $80
Cord pendant, target, $14.99
White bandeau, target, $14.99
I’m banning myself from shopping for the rest of the month. Must repeat over and over again:
C’est Fini
xox,
Carly

    Girl! You make me want to love my Maybelline Falsies mascara that I currently own. I'm not a huge fan… but maybe because I bought the waterproof formula as well? I shouldn't shop anymore either, but a girl's gotta have her retail therapy, right?? lol

    This design is steller! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
