Wedding Wednesday: Pictures from Our Wedding Day

Happy Wedding Wednesday!!

Today I am sharing 4 photos that we got back from our photographers - I'm still patiently waiting for the remaining.... 
Whenever I look at these photos I tear up. 

I know every girl says this about their wedding, but it was seriously the most magical day for me. It's a day I will never forget. 
I'm currently trying to make our first Christmas cards as Mr. & Mrs. and I am having a blast and figured I would share these photos on my blog! :)

Ceremony


The following two photos were taken with my father's classic car and at my work. Our pictures after the ceremony weren't suppose to happen here! It actually rained on our wedding day so I had to come up with a place to take pictures the day before our wedding day. Where I work actually holds weddings so I figured pictures inside would be beautiful. Luckily for us, it stopped raining when we got there so we took pictures outside!


So far, I am very pleased with our photos!!! 
I cannot wait to get more of them. 

Best. Day. Ever.

Weekend Recap: Sephora Holiday Haul, New Drugstore Items, ColourPop Holiday Set, & VIB Wishlist

Happy Monday!

I apologize for the lack of regular posts. I am trying to kick of my YouTube channel and a lot of my time and effort are going into filming and editing, which is a lot more work than I thought. 
I haven't decided if I am going to continue to blog on this blog anymore. I have created a new blog, we will see. 

Friday:
Friday I was extremely exhausted so I decided to leave work early, and by early I mean by 3:00... It was a rough week for me. 
I snapped this shot at my work when I was leaving. How gorgeous is this?!


 Saturday:
I finally finished editing my Sephora haul. I picked up a lot of holiday sets and if you would like to see that video please click here

After I finished editing I decided to check out Wal-Mart's Halloween clearance. And I wandered into the makeup aisle...
I picked up this Hard Candy eye shadow set for only $6.00. I really like the variety of colors in this palette and can't wait to try it. I'll let you know how I like it.
  
I'm trying not to use my expensive makeup when I don't need to, so I'm trying to test out more drugstore brands. Any recommendations?

Pure Ice, a brand I typically don't buy, has a new collection of nail polishes. I think the colors are really pretty. I decided to pick up the one on the left. We'll see how it goes... 



 Has lots of chunky glitter and stars in it.

I also wandered into the Dollar Tree because I was looking for Christmas washi tape for my Erin Condren life planner - no luck. But I did stumble upon a bunch of Essie nail strips!! I only picked up this color but there is a ton more! 

Saturday evening I ended my night playing Black Ops III. Yes, I play Black Ops III. 

Sunday: 

Sunday I decided to bring out this guy. Turkey candle holder is from Bath & Body Works and was free because I had a coupon. Score! 

Yesterday I filmed my first ever ColourPop purchase from their new Holiday set, Vixen. There are two other holiday sets but I decided to just go with one for now. They are priced at $30. 
If you would like to see the video, review, and swatches please click here.

 I hope to do a full review on my blog, but like I said I am considering changing blogs so I may start doing blog posts there. We'll see. 

This is a phone picture so the camera really doesn't do the colors justice! 
The colors are SUPER pigmented and so creamy. 

Sephora VIB Sale starts this Friday for VIB members, it started on the 6th for VIB Rouge members. 
I decided to start making my wish list. 

Like I really need another eyeshadow palette, but I don't own anything by Makeup Forever because it's so expensive. It's limited edition!!! Plus 20% off!

I'm definitely getting the Formula X Bottle Service nail polish set. This will look so cute on my makeup vanity! 

I'm also definitely picking up the Philosophy Gingerbread House. Includes 4 shower gels and 4 lip glosses. 


Have a great night!

Weekend Recap: Halloween, Ulta Trip, ColourPop Holiday Released & New Videos

Happy Monday!

I CANNOT believe it's November! 

Where did 2015 go? It's amazing how quickly this year went by for me. It was such a great year for me I couldn't be more thankful. 
Friday:
Friday we were able to dress up for work so I decided to go as Minnie Mouse because I thought I had a set of eyelashes I wanted to use that would be perfect for the Minnie Mouse costume - FAIL. I never even bought them, when I thought I did... Hahaha. None the less I still decided to go as Minnie Mouse. 

I didn't have an actual costume and I wanted it to be work appropriate so I decided to wear a red skirt, black blazer, and minnie mouse ears I purchased off eBay for only $4.95. I also already had polka dotted pantyhose and did my nails with polka dots. Polka dot overload!

Here's a picture of my whole outfit and a co-worker. Everyone around here are HUGE Penn State fans, so she wore her jersey. :) To the right is my office... just a little sneak peak into my daily life. haha

Friday was date night for the hubby & I. After work we went to Olive Garden because we were both craving it. I had to get my ring inspected so we went to the mall and I snuck in a trip to Ulta. :)
At Olive Garden we shared a pumpkin cheesecake, it was actually very yummy!

Saturday: 
I filmed a makeup tutorial on my YouTube channel for my Minnie Mouse costume and I filmed a haul of the Wet N Wild Disney Villians collection. Go check it out! :)
Click HERE for my YouTube channel.
  
I had to run to Wal-Mart for some things to make dinner and wandered into the makeup aisle. Physician Formula finally released their shimmer line. I took a couple of pictures to show you guys. 
I actually picked up the palette below, but haven't used it yet. It was only $8.97!

They also have shimmer eyeliners (I have been using their eyeliner lately and LOVE it) and shimmer gel cream shadows. 

This is the actual outfit I sported on Halloween. :)
The sweater is from Kohls. 

This is the makeup look I filmed. 

Go check it out!

Sunday:
Officially the first day of November and we got an extra hour of sleep. It was beautiful! What did I do with my extra hour? Took a nap for exactly an hour and it was a beautiful thing. 

Also, Pandora recently released their holiday line and how adorable is this red nosed reindeer?

I tried Sheetz Reese's peanut butter hot chocolate - YUCK. I don't recommend. 

Also, last but not least ColourPop released their holiday sets today! I have been wanting to try their lippies but just haven't and I don't know why. Since they came out with a kit of 6 for only $30 I would pick one up. From what I understand their holiday sets don't stick around long, so if I were you, I would order a set soon. There's also a eyeshadow set(which I'm contemplating) and a gel/liner set. If you purchase all 3 right now they're offering 20% off. But I have my eyes on other things for the upcoming VIB sale that I decided to pass and just get this set. 
Anyway to check out their holiday line click here. I used coupon code THANKSBABE for $5 off, which essentially covers the shipping that is $5. 

Have a great night!
