Discovered {LipSurgence}

While shopping in-store at Sephora {I finally had an opportunity to get over there} I discovered a new to me lip product: LipSurgence by tarte. Not only is it Gluten-Free, it also is free of parabens, mineral oil, petrolatum, phthalates, sodium laurel sulfate & synthetic fragrance {gosh it sure is scary that I can not even pronounce these words but even more scary when I read a label & have no idea what all these chemicals are!}. LipSurgence comes in a variety of shades & also is available in Matte {which is not Gluten-Free according to Sephora}. I absolutely love the amused color! Luckily for us tarte has a 40% off sale going on NOW on their website! So glad I discovered this product & even happier that I was able to purchase a few more on-line with the discount. Hurry on over to their site so you can try one for yourself…

Perfect fit {LOFT}

I found the BEST fitting pants at the LOFT. I have been shopping here for some time now {my mom actually introduced me to the ATL} they always have a collection of petite items which fit amazingly! If you are petite I highly recommend trying on their pants & for the rest of you they have some really great pieces at affordable prices.

A Christmas must {candle}

Have you discovered the sweetly scented candles at Bath & Body? I enjoy so many of their scented candles for the different seasons of the year. Often they offer a special price when you buy multiples at one time so I stock up {with all the gift cards my office gives me!}. My current favorite is the Twisted Peppermint!

I sure hope Santa drops this in my stocking. Love the fresh scent, smooth texture, light shine & tastiness of this balm. You can pick yours up here.

A Christmas must {Mrs.Meyers}

It is that time of year again! Each December I use this hand soap, hand lotion & liquid dish soap in my kitchen. I love the refreshing pine scent! This is my FAVORITE time of year.

Fashion Island {Forever 21}

If you have not yet been to the newly opened F21 you must head there soon! The space is enormous & all the racks are organized making it easy to find the trendy affordable items. I did not have time to snap any photos {I was late to dinner due to losing track of time shopping my heart out}! The image above is the architectural rendering prior to the store being revamped. I spotted a few items I wanted but did not have to try on... I am heading back soon. Stop by if you ever find yourself in Newport Beach.
