Random Mini Collective Haul

I've recently received and purchased some things that I thought would be fun to haul. They are all pretty random but regardless, I'm excited to talk about all of these. Unfortunately this post should have been up awhile ago, (if you notice that Sugar Pop Palette in the corner there you'll remember I did a whole post on it awhile ago that you can find here.) However, I figured I should still upload it and share it with you all!

Steven Universe #1 & #2

Steven Universe Comics #3 & #4

Steven Universe Comics #5, #7, & #8

When I purchased all of these from Kaboom, issue #6 was unfortunately out of stock. However, I didn't mind too much.  Of course, I had to get my hands on these because Steven Universe is one of my favorite series ever! I will be doing a post about Steven Universe in the future so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm and Monte Carlo

Ardell Twin Pack Demi 120

Too Faced Sugar Pop Palette

The two Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams and the Ardell lashes were completely impulse buys. I was walking around Ulta and just grabbed them. Of course, I certainly don't regret it! The lip creams are beautiful and have wonderful pigmentation and the Ardell lashes are always one of my favorites!

The perfect palette to add a pop of color to your summer looks! Check out the in depth post I did about this palette here!

These are brushes that I came across while browsing Ebay one day and they immediately caught my eye because this 4 brush set was priced at $1.88 with FREE shipping! I'm not really super keen on shopping on Ebay but after purchasing these, I will definitely check them out more often. I was really surprised at how nice the quality of these were. They are so soft and blend my shadow beautifully and I have incorporated them into my daily makeup routine! I actually like these so much I've been thinking about buying a second set just to have them around.

I desperately needed some new sunglasses. I really don't own any and I wanted to get into the habit of wearing them more often to protect my eyes from the sun! I really wanted some 'aviator" like shades and was so excited when I scored this awesome limited edition set from ZeroUV!

I'm not a huge fan of the yellow/orange tinted shades but I am in love with the blue and green tinted ones! They are a bit big, but I don't mind. I would definitely recommend checking out ZeroUV if you want cheap but amazing looking sunglasses. They have so many styles and they are all reasonably priced. 

And lastly, I got this adorable mini cupcake maker! How cute is that? This was actually a gift from my mother because I would always point it out whenever I saw one! I'm definitely going to have to pick up the lavender cake pop maker soon! I didn't want to talk about this in depth because I'm going to do a review and a demo of this later on, so look out for that! 

I hope you all enjoyed this little haul. I am debating on whether or not I will post a birthday haul, I didn't get anything beauty related but if you guys still want to see it I might end up posting one! I hope you all are wonderful and of course, talk to me down in the comments! I love talking to you all!

Bath & Body Works Candle Haul!

I don't just go to Bath and Body Works on any regular day and come home with a bag full of candles, I almost ALWAYS buy candles when they are having sales, which luckily for me is pretty often! About once a month B&BW has a 2 for $22 sale which is great!  You're basically buying one and getting one free, so a lot of my candle collection is accumulated from that. Not to mention in December, they have an $8 candle day which is a time where you can stock up on tons of scents for very very discounted prices. Part of the reason I love shopping there is that you can usually always find a pretty good deal on something!

This particular haul has come from the Semiannual sale that they had about two months ago which basically is them getting rid of all of their fall/winter scents! There were ton's of candles for only $9 so I couldn't pass on grabbing a few!

Winter

"A fragrance that captures the essence of being in the mountains with bracing notes of pine needles, winter citrus and white woods."

Twisted Peppermint

"Merry and bright peppermint celebrates the season with notes of vanilla and sugary musk in this cheer-filled scent."

Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin

"A fall harvest favorite inspired by delicious homemade treats - pumpkin pie, vanilla cream and spice." 

Sandalwood Vanilla

"A romantic fusion of exotic sandalwood and luscious caramel, with notes of fresh juniper and vanilla."

Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow

"The comforting sweetness of vanilla combines with a mouthwatering cloud of pumpkin marshmallow."

Pumpkin Cupcake

"Satisfy your sweet tooth with the scent of a freshly baked pumpkin cupcake covered in loads of rich buttercream frosting."

Have smelled any of the candles I bought? What are your favorite Bath and Body Works scents?

What I got for Christmas 2014

Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. Even now, I still get those happy little butterflies on Christmas morning. I love going shopping, wrapping gifts, making good food, decorating the tree and everything else that comes along with Christmas! I am very lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful family members and friends who want to give me such nice gifts and I thought I would share with everyone what was under my tree this year! I really love hearing what other people got, so I thought this would be a fun post.

I'm obviously not going to show every little thing, because that would take forever. But I will share the main things I received this year.

The bracelet was a completely unexpected gift from one of my best friends when he visited on Christmas day! The watch is from my grandmother because I had mentioned before that I really wanted a gold watch.

If you've been following me for awhile you've probably picked up that I'm a bit in love with Katy Perry. So of course, when my mom saw this she totally had to pick it up. Anything with Katy on it is definitely a win in my book!

I am a sucker for gift sets. Little things like this make me so excited! It's silly, but I always really look forward to using everything in these types of sets!

Hell House was something my mom picked up on a whim for me and I'm so happy she did! I love everything creepy and haunted so of course I love flipping through this book. I also had been wanting Black Hole for awhile, I can't wait to read it!

I think I'm most excited about these two books I received. I absolutely love Grace Helbig and Amy Poehler. They are both such funny, smart and incredible ladies and I cannot wait to get around to reading them!

Everyone knows how much I love The Last of Us so of course it was only natural for them to pick this up for me for Christmas. It's such an interesting book to look through! The art is incredible and I really want to start collecting art books for all of my favorite games. 

I had been needing a new pair of boots for awhile, my current ones are completely falling apart. These were such a nice surprise and I was so relieved when I saw there was a zipper on the side! I love my Doc Martens but pulling them on and off constantly is so annoying. I have already tried these on and worn them for a few hours and they are so comfortable and fit perfectly! I also like the little heel they have. 

I got some video games, as usual. These four were actually the ones I wanted the most and I was pretty shocked that I got all of them. The one I wanted most was obviously The Last of Us (who could have guessed). I've already beat it twice if that tells you anything!

I have been wanting to become a Playstation gamer for awhile now! So seeing this under the tree was very exciting! Earlier in December I ended up selling my Xbox 360 along with all of my games so I could make some money to get a PS3, so I was extremely thrilled to have one. It's also nice that it plays Blu-ray's and Netflix as well!

And last, but certainly not least, I got a new TV! I'm not the type of person who has to have a huge, new flat screen but oh man I REALLY needed a new one. My old TV was falling freezing and I couldn't plug anything into it. This new one is so lovely and it's great to play all of my new games on or just relax and watch some Netflix!

As always, Christmas was wonderful and I want to thank all of my family members and friends who thought of me. I hope your holiday was wonderful as well!

How was your Christmas? What was your favorite gift you received/gave?

Ohio Comic Con 2014 Haul

At the beginning of November I went to Ohio Comic Con (you can see my post about it here). I quickly realized that I still hadn't shown you want I picked up while I was there! One of my favorite things about Comic Con, other than seeing all of the celebrities, is shopping! They have so many fun and crazy things and I always come home with some interesting things.

This may seem pretty weird, but if you know anything about me, you'll know I love skulls and bones. I find them so interesting and beautiful. Fortunately, I found a whole booth this year dedicated to things like this! I was so excited, I think I visited three times in the same day and spent way too much time looking at what they had to offer. I finally decided on this beauty, which is a raccoon skull. It wasn't too pricey and it was beautifully preserved. I also loved that it is mounted on a stand, but you can also remove it if you choose!

If you're interested in this type of thing, these are the people I purchased it from! 

AsylumArtwork.com

This creepy gem I found caught my eye right away. I know this is super weird and creepy, which is why I completely fell in love with it! The man that makes these has tons of different ones, but the snail version was my favorite!

I finally got a Puppycat! I am such a huge fan of the Bee and PuppyCat and I was so incredibly excited when I saw they had some in stock. I had been wanting one for so long. It also sings when you press it's ear! So cute. 

Get a Puppycat Plush of your own!

These have to be some of the cutest stickers I have ever seen. I get really nervous with stickers and I usually never use them. Mostly because I'm afraid once I stick them somewhere I'll regret it and want to put it on something else later, silly I know. But after talking to the lady who makes these she told me they are reusable and waterproof. I honestly couldn't resist and I'm so happy I picked some up!

The vendor was also the sweetest girl I met during Comic Con, she was so friendly and you could tell she really loved what she did and was proud of her work. She draws all of these stickers and makes them all by hand! No machines here. She even threw in a free sticker (they yellow yak). 

Here is her Etsy, you should definitely check it out!

Kawaii Universe

The most meaningful thing I got at Comic Con was definitely this signed picture of Norman Reedus! It don't really care about autographs, it was more that I got to see him again! I have three autographs from him now, since I've seen him three years in a row, but I think this one is definitely my favorite.

I always end up saying I'm not going to buy anymore artwork every year but I always cave and pick up prints. I can't help it! They have so many amazing ones. Above I picked up a Totoro and Attack on Titan print. 

I don't usually see much of Coraline, but I knew the moment I saw it I had to have this print. Coraline is one of my favorite movies and I just loved this way too much to pass up!

I unfortunately didn't get the shop or the card from the guy that made this but if I ever find out I'll let you guys know!

Pyramid Head! Silent Hill is one of my favorite games of all time so when I saw this print of Pyramid Head I knew I had to buy it. I saw a lot more Silent Hill themed things this year that other years I visited which made me quite happy.

I picked up a bunch of comics! I really enjoy collecting cute and horror comics and graphic novels. I would go through them all but that would take a long time, maybe I'll do a separate posts all about the comics I own. I mostly picked up Adventure Time, Lumber Janes, and Outcast.

Peach Ramue! This was so delicious and I definitely need to get more. 

I picked up two boxes of Green Tea and Brown Sugar "mochi". I've always wanted to try these little boxes because they always intrigued me. They were actually, extremely disgusting! Oops!

I got a lot of random silly things this year but I'm so happy with all of my purchases! Comic Con was a blast, as always and I'm hoping I can do another haul next year!
