Hello ladies! I had a wonderful Sunday morning that started off right with a Pilates Ball class, a skinny vanilla latte and sausage, egg and cheese artisan breakfast sandwich from Starbucks (love!)
I then headed over to the Galleria Mall to use a Victoria's Secret coupon I got in the mail. I got one that was $10 off of any bra and a free PINK ruched panty. While there, I also remembered that I had a coupon in my email (thank God for iPhones!) that was for 8 pairs of PINK panties for $25. Yay! Right now they have a promotion where you get 7 PINK panties for $25 but if you are a member of PINK NATION you get 8. You can sign up for PINK NATION here.

Here's a sampling of the designs I picked:
Pink and girly, of course!
...And now, I just have to share the BEST BRA EVER. I have the black version of this bra and I have to say it is the best and most comfortable bra I've ever worn in my life. The fabric is like a very soft jersey/cotton- not the shiny material most bras are made of. It is padded, but IMO, not extensively, just enough for shape and a small boost in size. I used my $10 OFF coupon to buy the nude color in this style bra because I wear it so often I needed another one. I feel kind of weird showing pictures of bras here, but this is too good not to share. I seriously cannot rave enough about it. This is what it looks like:
It comes in a variety of colors too. It's officially called the Body by Victoria Push-Up Bra and you can BUY IT HERE.
My next visit was to AVEDA. Remember when I talked about attending the Simon Fashion Now runway show a few weeks ago? Well we got these incredible swag bags full of goodies, samples and coupons. I think some people don't take the time to examine and use their coupons- but they really should! I got a bottle of one of Aveda's fragrances for FREE ($20 Value) and I even got to pick the scent I liked best. I picked number 7, which is a sort of citrusy/minty combo:
Then, I headed over to Bare Escentuals where I had another coupon from my swag bag to use! It was for a free powder sample and $10 off of any product! I got the eyeshadow in "Nude Beach" which comes highly recommended by one of my favorite YouTubers LisaLisaD1. She is one of the sweetest YouTubers out there with such a positive spirit. I definitely recommend subscribing to her because she reviews so many products and is just always so happy and full of life.
This eyeshadow is so beautiful and shimmery and the perfect shadow for wearing on its own to give eyes sparkle in a subtle way:
I will post photos when I wear it!
I also stopped in at Ulta today where I picked up a few products. I had run out of my Pureology Essential Repair shampoo so I picked up the volumizing formula which IMO has the best scent of the entire line (kind of minty and earthy- sort of like Aveda products). I also picked up a can of Neutrogena's spray tanner and some Redken All-Soft Treatment.
I visited a few more stores (Charlotte Russe- which had some really cute stuff, but I resisted; J. Crew, Zara) and finally SEPHORA.
For the last few weeks, my Sephora has always had at least 5 Urban Decay Naked Palettes in stock. But not today. Ulta didn't have it either. Sigh. I waited too long. I might wait and get it at the F&F if they have it then.
I did end up picking up another NARS Laguna Bronzer though, because I'm running low:

I also got the Benefit packet as my Sephora VIB gift this time around:
It comes with a mini High Beam and Posie Tint as well as 2 Bad Gal Lash mascaras! I can't wait to try High Beam because I've heard such great things about it (uh, not that I need another highlighter...)
and finally....

"
." I recently read in a magazine (maybe Glamour) that 90% of a woman's eggs die by the age of 30. THIRTY!?!? I'll admit that really freaked me out. I've always wanted to have my first child before the age of 30...but 90%? That's crazy! I just had no idea.
