My Mini Whole Foods Haul ~ Beauty & Foodie Picks! Perfume, Shampoo, & Gummies Too!

Today I was shopping at Whole Foods and wanted to share my 'mini' Haul. Here a few of my most favorite items I picked up at Whole Foods! If you've never been to a Whole Foods or they don't have one nearby, it's a super nice Organic/Natural gourmet type grocery store. Heavenly! 

First off, if anyone knows me well, probably knows that Gummy Bears are one of my favorite foods ever! Unfortunately I recently discovered I have a Corn allergy and pretty much every Gummy ever made is made with Corn Syrup. :( I have been so sad until I discovered Whole Foods sells Gummy Bears made without Corn! :) 

Behold:

Corn-Free Gummy Panda Naturalness

These Gummy Pandas are so good and are made with awesome ingredients. I picked up Raspberry Yumberry and my favorite Pomegranate White Tea. They also have a really yummy Blueberry and Lemon Ginger flavor. I recommend them all if anyone is looking for all natural Gummys. They're made with Organic ingredients! :) Each bag was about $4.75.

Last night I bleached my hair and I didn't leave the bleach on as long as I should have. This morning when I looked at my hair it was full of yellow and brassiness. I went to go tone my hair with my favorite Wella T18 Toner and found that it wasn't sealed very well and the oxygen must have ruined the toner, because when I used it, it hardly turned purple on my hair so my blonde hair was still yellow after using it. While I was at Whole Foods I purchased some ShiKai Color Reflect purple shampoo for Blonde, Platinum and Silver hair. Normally I buy Shimmer Lights Shampoo or Conditioner but I really love ShiKai's formula. It doesn't smell bad and it actually leaves my hair soft. I think it's much easier on the hair than the Shimmer Lights formula. I'm going to be doing a review with a before and after using this Shampoo so keep an eye out for that if your interested in switching out your Shimmer Lights for something more natural! :)

ShiKai Color Reflect Shampoo was $8.99

I also picked up some Pacifica Solid Perfumes in French Lilac, Hawaiian Ruby Guava, California Star Jasmine, Tahitian Gardenia! I Love Love Love these scents. I'm going to be doing a more detailed review on these but here's a sneak peak at what I might be saying: Go Out and Smell These Right Now! :) Seriously, they're that amazing. So in love with these scents! I can't wait to do a review on these for you! :) Each of these costed $8.99 each.

After strolling the aisles of Heaven...I mean Whole Foods for what seemed like hours, I worked up quite an appetite for one of Whole Foods' Made to Order Awesome Pizzas.

$12.99 will get you this beautiful California Fire Roasted Veggie Thin Crust pizza made in their own fire brick oven. It's so delicious and piled high with vegetables of all kinds including zucchini  tomatoes, eggplant, onions and bell peppers. Pair it with a glass of wine and you are set. Whole Foods only uses the most natural ingredients and I love that! They also have a great Rice crust if you're gluten-free like me.  :) 

I hope you enjoyed my Whole Foods haul! Let me know if you've tried any of these great items! If you don't happen to have a Whole Foods near by, don't worry, you can find a lot of these items at any natural grocer. I will also include some links below to find these products online if you're an eBay or Amazon user. Have a Beautiful day!

Caio for now!

Spring Break 2013! eBay Haul ~ Beauty & Accessories ~ Fashion Steals & Where to Buy!

 Hello gorgeous ;) 

This week I'm featuring a happy little eBay Haul focused on a few Beauty & Accessory items perfect for Spring Break! I'll also post some links where you can purchase a few of these items on the CHEAP! :) We love Fab Affordable Fashion and eBay is one of the very best places to find steals on amazing items! ;)

Most of these arrived together on the same day and I'm still waiting on a few others but here's what I got! 

Some of these items are refills for beauty empties but a few I'm trying for the first time. Some of these products are going to be used for

Spring Break Must Haves!

Spring Break Must Have #1 ~ Awesome Beach Bag:

Last year, I had a really pretty Nautica brand cotton beach bag and it ended up getting stained and destroyed from a bottle of tanning oil that spilled all over inside my bag. I couldn't get the oil stain out so I had to toss it :( The next bag I buy for the beach is going to be durable and wipable. So when I was searching eBay for Moroccan oil (another essential!:) in travel friendly bottles I came across this gorgeous Moroccan Oil Tote bag. It's nice and roomy, easy to carry and when I'm done using it this summer I'm going to use it to store all my hair color supplies. It's a gorgeous ocean blue and orange and will look sexy with a tan! ;) It cost me $9.99 + a few dollars shipping on eBay...Love!

Spring Break Must Have #2 ~ Flip Flops: Inexpensive But Stylish Sandals

If I'm going to be hanging out on the rough beach sand I'll usually bring a pair of Old Navy basic flip flops (in white!) but when I'm bar hopping at night I want something a little more classy. ;) It's important to bring flip flops that can afford to get worn or damaged. Swarovski crystal flip flops are one of my favorite sandals to wear but they cost a good $50 and I'm always losing stones :( I checked eBay and  found these gorgeous flip flops for under $9.00 + a few dollars shipping! Awesome deal!

The sparkly rhinstones seem to all be attached to one 'band' which makes them a lot more durable in the sand. So it doesn't look like I'm going to lose any. They still have a nice sparkle and look nice dressed up with jeans or cute shorts. They have a comfy cushion too! They are available on eBay! See Item Here!

Spring Break Must #3: Leave Our (Much Loved) Giant Purse at Home! :)

Huge purses have no place in your Spring Break! Traveling light is not only easier but there's also some kind of zen phenomena that occurs when I'm separated from my enormous purse. First there's serious separation anxiety but after the initial scare, feelings of an immense liberation follows, like we're a whole new woman and we're free from our burden! hehe! :) But really, when I looked in my closet and seen that I had sold off all of my tiny purses and wristlets, I headed over to eBay to find a cute wristlet or wallet in a bright, fun color that I could carry without a purse. Since I don't have anything Pink I decided to buy this adorable pink wallet in 'Watermelon Red'. It was only $7.99 with free shipping! The inside is so cute! They have many colors and you can purchase here! on eBay.

Spring Break Must #4: Light on Products, Big on Beauty!

If you travel during Spring Break I'd recommend purchasing your beauty loot in Travel sizes. I purchased these Victoria's Secret lotions and Moroccan Oils in tiny travel sizes because they meet TSA's size requirements for traveling via plane. 2oz sizes are also great for trying new products and they're an affordable way to use high end products if you're on a budget ;)

I ordered some great Spring scents in small sizes for easy packing:

Moroccan Oil Samples in Reg & Light

Victoria's Secret Hello Darling Lotion

Victoria's Secret Such a Flirt lotion

Victoria's Secret Wild Citrus Sunflower Lotion

Victoria's Secret Secret Charm

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Lotion

Here are some links where all of these products are available to purchase. Some of them are Limited Edition so they won't be around long :( Each photo is clickable and the links take you to Amazon.com :)

A few of the other items pictured are a Large size Beauty Rush Pool Party in Pina Colada

And a Random Merry Merry Pink Lotion. I only paid about $4 for each!

(The Merry Merry Pink lotion is limited edition so I have to buy it while I can. Smells awesome! ;)

I'll be posting reviews on these Victoria's Secret scents, some I'm really liking and some of them not so much. That's that beauty of sample sizes! :)

I hope you enjoyed this spring break 'Must Haves' post. We'll be following up with another full length 'Spring Break Essentials' on Beauty, Fashion and Travel to help you prepare for a flawless vacation! 

Tell us! Where are you going for Spring Break?

My E.L.F. Cosmetic Haul from Target! Awesomely Affordable Makeup!

Hello dolls ;)

We're talking awesomely afforable makeup!

 Last night I went to Target to return a few clothing pieces that I didn't like and I ended up on a mini-spree after I decided to just 'look around'. Bad idea. Luckily the only Cosmetic items I purchased were E.L.F. brand (aka that SUPER CHEAP but surprisingly good!) makeup so I didn't break the bank. Whew. 

Check out these pretty things!

I got those adorable Floral and Polka Dot shorts underneath for $5 each @ Target! I don't care if it's Winter, what a Fab find right? They deserve their own post ;)

I am going to give these a try these instead of my regular products for a few days - week and post a review on each of them :)

What I bought:

~ELF Powder Brush $3! (How does it compare to MAC?)

~ELF Blush in Mellow Mauve $3! (Does it blend nice? (I love this color!))

~ELF Golden Bronzer $3! (Interested to see if this might work for contouring)

~ELF Matte Lip Color in Natural $3! (Beautiful color)

~ELF Liquid Eyeliner in Black $1! (One dollar!)

~ELF Lashes $1! (Includes Lash glue)

I got all these things for only $15.12 or about the cost of 1 MAC eyeshadow! I know the Dollar store carries cosmetics as well but I do believe this brand's makeup is slightly better in quality. No it's no MAC but I've been using the Eye Shadows in a Holiday kit I purchased last year and the quality isn't bad!

I still have lots of ELF products I'm dying to try such as the Eye Lid Primer, Plumping Lip Glazes (Ruby Kiss), Eyebrow Lift & Filler Pencil, Baked Eyeshadows, Pigment Eyeshadow, Shimmer Eye pencils & nail polish! 

I will keep the reviews coming as I try them :)

E.L.F has an awesome offer on their website going. Imagine how much stuff you can get for $25 + Free Shipping! Sometimes Target doesn't have everything so I go here:

If you have any ELF products you LOVE please share in the comments sections! I'd love to hear from you! :)
