i saw this tutorial on youtube and figured it was easy enough to try! super cute and only about 4$! i bought the same t-shirt she used, a fruit of the loom shirt with no side seams from wal-mart!
*she doesn't say to do so in the video, but i cut under the arms AND just above the seam at the bottom of the shirt!
well, it's officially DECEMBER! this year seemed to go by slow, but now that it's december, i feel like it's flown by! i can remember each and every moment from this time last year and it feels like only days ago! anyway, december means Christmas! and that means a wishlist items post from me! :D
eeee!! i was so excited saving the pictures and links/websites for the following Christmas list! i adore each one of these items, and i know some of them are far fetched, but i just had to list them here to show some of the amazing products i'm in love with! :) so, without further adieu, my Christmas wishlist for 2011! yay!
also, i'm going to try my best to put these in "most wanted" order, obviously they're all most wanted, but i mean.. i know i can't get everything :) haha..
1. michael kors pave disc necklace in rose gold ..let me just breathe for a minute after looking at this breathtaking piece! GORGE! look how pretty!! i don't own any rose gold jewelry, and this is just a no brainer must have! :) especially for this price! let me tell you this is an EXACT dupe for the sydney evan pave disc necklace which retails at $3,015 ..okay, you pretty much HAVE to get the MK dupe for this at $55, right?! :) - this beauty can be found here -
2. too faced matte eyeshadow collection okay, i know, why do i need more makeup!? well.. i only have one "high end" palette of shadows, and they are all shimmer shadows, so i need some matte ones! i've heard many good things about too faced cosmetics, let alone this particular palette! i'm a neutral eye kinda girl, so this is perfect for my everyday looks! :) AND it's a $76 value for $36! - available at sephora -
3. cortex 4-in-1 cermaic clipless curling iron whew lawd has my curling iron had it! i use it daily and it's about 75 years old! haha! these 'clipless' curling irons, or "curling wands", are all the rage lately! basically, i just like the look they create more than the old fashioned curling irons.. this one comes with four different sized barrels for different sized curls and looks! which is awesome! this is a must have for me! :) hehe! - online at beautychoice -
4. "designer de better" from the new OPI Muppets Collection: Holiday 2011 this is just a gorgeous color! i've seen it raved about all over the beauty blog/youtube community! it's just an original, i don't have anything like it and love the classic color! :) - available at ulta -
5. a game of thrones 4-book boxed set (a song of fire and ice series) really?! i'm embarrassed i don't already have this! as much as i love reading big books and as much as i LOVE the HBO show, it's a wonder i don't own it already! apparently, the boxed set is ridiculously cheap at barnes & noble around $20! enough said :D - here at barnes & noble -
6. dolce and gabbana's 'light blue' yum! i'm a perfume junkie, though i only have 2 bottles of fancy perfume! ha! i've never owned this one, but obviously i'd love to! mixing scents and smelling good is an every day thing for me, i think this one is perfect for my little collection! :) - available at ulta and department stores -
7. laura mercier rose rendezvous face illumiator this is probably one of the most beautiful pieces of makeup that exists.. it's stunning! great brand, great payoff, wears amazingly.. must own for any guru! in case you're not sure what a "face illuminator" is, it's basically a highlight.. you apply the shade with a brush on areas of your face you'd want highlighted, like the top of your cheekbones, right under your eyebrows, inner corner of your eye, down the nose and cupid's bow of your top lip.. highlighting gives your face a natural "glowy" or "dewy" look :) this is a splurge item for me at $42 bucks! - here at sephora -
8. lancome beauty sensation beauty box in 'beautiful bronzes' okay, this is just insane.. lancome = high end, department store makeup brand = expensive! this set is worth over $300 but is being sold with any lancome purchase for $57.50! usually gift sets come with little travel size products or samples, but these are all full sized items! 2 lip glosses, 2 lipsticks, kohl eyeliner, limited edition 2 brush set, mascara (which is a top rated mascara), 3 eye shadows and a full size makeup remover (which also happens to be a top rated product!).. if you know any makeup lovers, this is pretty much the perfect gift set for them, hands down! :D - at macy's and other department stores -
okay.. too much? :) as you can tell, i'm a makeup junkie! i think i ask for these things as gifts because i have a hard time buying makeup myself.. i don't know why, it's just always clothes over makeup, i guess! :D i hope you enjoyed seeing/reading and i hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas full of items from their own wishlists!
