Graphic Tanks

Am I the only one who feels like the rain will never stop?! Yes that's why the pictures today (again) are low quality iPhone 5 office pictures :(

Cora Bella, if you haven't liked her on fb and followed her on ig go do so now. (if your in the Bossier/Shrev area she also has a store front) I personally know the owner and anytime I find something I NEED I message her and within 24 hours she has found the item and sent me an invoice or opened a preorder!! So when I messaged her last week and told her I needed a tank that said "I love Jesus but I cuss a little" she made it happen!! :) The Tiny Jewel actually made it for me, she has a Facebook page and Instagram. I love the over sized tank because it pairs so well with LEGGINGS! Or pants if your someone who likes those ;) The quality of the tank and the design is awesome and you cant beat the price, $20 SHIPPED, what?! This will not be my last order with her!! I ordered a medium because I wasn't sure on the fit, next time I will probably get a small. I'm obsessed with graphic tanks and they are so in right now!! Love June has a ton in stock and when you use code reperin at checkout you get 10% off and free shipping :)
Happy Wednesday!!

Wild Child Dress

 tank

 Fearfully made

Alma Tunic

Paige Short Dress

To start off with i'm sorry about the quality and my husbands truck in the background, it was a very impromptu "hurry up i'm late for work" shot ;)

I'm OBSESSED with this dress!! I knew as soon as I saw it I needed it, I live in dresses in spring and summer! I love Navajo prints! It is short so if you aren't comfortable with that you could wear it as a tunic. It has elastic in the middle so you can make it longer or shorter, with a razorback cut back! It would look great paired with wedges or sandals! My necklace is sold out but here is a great alternative. This would also look wonderful with an added belt ( here ) to jazz it up a little!! Dont forget use my code zzs172 for free shipping :)

Happy Monday!

Mini NYX Haul

I LOVE all things NYX, although im not a huge fan of Ulta, its so overpriced, you can also get NYX products at Target, and all ladies love Target! So these are my own personal reviews on the three items I bought. 

I will start with the Wonder Stick, because I HATED it!! It was very oily feeling and even though it said for med/tan skin it was wayyyy to light for me, and I'm not overly dark!! I ended up giving it to my friend, and by give i mean i owed her money ;) It would be awesome for a beginner in contouring, if you are more light complected. I want to say it was around $12

NYX HD Studio Photogenic Primer

I couldn't find it on the target website, but I did find it on Amazon for $3 cheaper, its the same thing just in a different container?? I don't know! I really liked it!! It goes on kinda gray but covers up well, here are some of the pros..

• Fills out lines and pores really well!
• Gives a brightness. 
• Helps foundation go on smoother and more evenly.
• Helps makeup and skin retain a fresh look for a longer time.
• The price isn't bad!

I saved the best for last, NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray.

Normally I use Urban Decay Oil Control Setting Spray ( here ) I get the small travel size for like $15 ( because the large one is 30! ) but it lasts a long time, I don't LOVE it though!!! So when I saw this one ( here ) for $8 I thought well it has to be just as good as the one im getting. 

BOTTOM LINE
I LOVE ITTT!!

My makeup stays in place all day and I don't get shiny!! Plus its only $8!! I like to apply it after my primer and foundation, then add my poweders, contouring etc and then apply it again, I have combo oily/acne skin, if your skin isnt as bad just a few sprays after you apply your makeup should be fine!
Also a few other products I already have for NYX and I love are

IPSY!

What is Ipsy? Ipsy is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription bag. Each month you get full size or sample-sized products, plus a small nice makeup bag. Its $10 (plus tax I think) and free shipping, they ship to the US and Canada. It will ask you at the beginning to take a quiz to "personalize" your bag, you're going to get 1/2 bags, so its really not that personalized. Also when you sign up it will put you on a waiting list, do everything it tell you to do to skip the wait and you will be off the next day! I hear a lot of people saying, "well its just not worth it." You have to remember its $10, this isn't a spend $35 at clinique and get a free gift kind of deal!! I've liked my bag every single month, some months more than others, like this month, I LOVED IT!! Below is my link if you sign up under me I get points, point let you get free gifts, so always post to fb when you get the emails, always review and always get people to sign up under your link

Now on to the reviews.
Nude Dude Eyeshadow "fit"
It is a shimmery copper color, it came in a super cute little container and the color was very pretty. It stayed on all day and went on smooth!! I was very pleased! I had never heard of it before but its something I would go out and buy!

Jor'el Parker Perfume 
This was a tiny perfume sample. Me personally, I have soo many perfumes that I was kind of thinking I wouldn't use it, but i'll be leaving it in my purse and using it after I tan! It has a nice smell, not too strong or cheap smelling, I liked it, I just hope I don't get many more. ;)

Starlooks Satin Finish Lip Gloss
In this gloss I received the shade cuddle, its just ok. The color inst very bright and kinda blah, it didn't stay on long. It will probably end up going to my daughter. 

Theorie Hair Serum 
This was an argan oil hair serum, i love getting products for my hair and this one wasn't a disappointment!! It made my hair soft and smooth!! I probably wouldn't use it every night or go buy it but for sure loved to try it!! 

Essence Cosmetics Princess Lash Mascara 
I haven't tried this yet because I just bought a brand new tube of tarte last weekend ;) but the container it comes in is adorable!! 

I was pretty pleased this month with my bag, not to mention the bag itself was s cute!! I will def be subscribed another month!!

Tanning..

I know tanning is bad for me, I know the risks, I know that even though I tan 1-2 times a week for a 3/12 months its still bad, but I do it anyways.

Now that that is out of the way, something I get asked WEEKLY, where do I tan? What spray tan do I use? Do I ever turn orange? Well here is everything I know on tanning!

I tan at Palm Beach Tan, and have since we moved to Longview, I love all the beds and for the most part all the employees, and the price isn't too bad either! I use Solid Black lotion, I LOVE IT!! I also use a body wash and lotion (i use the lotion right after I tan also) and after my shower which is a tan extender (here and here) Normally the girls at the salon cant talk me into buying anything but they did talk me into these!! The body wash I don't really care for, I probably wont buy it again, but I really like the lotion and I can tell it actually works!

Moving right along to spray tanning! I use the Versa Spa machine, I just think it gives a prettier more even tan! I have ever turned orange, NO! I'm naturally dark already with an olive complexion, I'm really not sure if that has anything to do with it, or the pigmentation of your skin, but no, I've tried 50 spray tanners/booths and I have never been orange! I've been splotch and uneven before but that's the risk you take letting a machine do it!!

Self tanners. My go to favorites are fake bake and St Tropez! The fake bake is VERY messy, I have to actually scrub walls in my bathroom after I use it, but it comes right off!! The St Tropez is a little pricey but very much worth it!! Then when I'm not feeling like spending so much I have my drug store products that in my opinion work just as good! L'oreal Sublime Bronze and the airbrush, fyi these are cheaper at Walmart ;) I use these when I already have a good base tan and just want to be bronzed!! 

So that is it! That's everything I use and my top favs!! :) Happy tanning!! 

Painting the town PINK!

Most everyone knows that I started being a rep for Love June Boutique, they have adorable and affordable classy modern clothes!! Shipping is always free and every order you can get 10% off by using my code "reperin" You seriously cant beat that!! When we saw this new arrival I knew I had to have it!! We still have them available in small and large! Here is the link if you want to order, don't forget use code reperin for 10% off!! Back to the subject, when I saw this dress in the stock photo I was worried there was no way to dress it down, I was wrong, it looks cute and casual with a nice sandal, then turn it into a date night dress with a wedge! I decided to pair mine with gold, I LOVE pink and gold!! You can get the gold sandals at Wet Seal here, my wedges are super old but these would look great!! Make sure and like my rep fb page "Love June Rep Erin" and follow me on ig "lovejunereperin" :)

Wine down...Friday?

Something you should know about me, I'm a wineo, a wineaholic. When my friends see funny wine memes they immediately tag me in them, daily. So when I one of my facebook friends posted about Club W, I knew that was the club for me! You answer questions at the beginning so they can see what you like, I didn't know this my first month but you can actually pick the wine you want or have them pick for you. The first month they picked for me and I was well pleased with all three!! This month (i just received my order today) they had a cherryish flavored one in my box, i'm not a cherry fan so I replaced it with another. Its about $45 plus tax, however using my link, you get one bottle free! You can also take a month off anytime you want! Make sure and have it sent to a location where someone will be at because someone over 21 (duh) has to sign, I have my sent to my work. Also in every box they send a card and it tells you what to eat with that particular bottle and how it should be served!! 

In my box last month I had:

• Pufferfish, pinot grigio, from California, peach, vanilla, lemon meringue, pineapple, piña colada, salt water  I loved it!
• Costa pietra nero d'avola, from Italy, chocolate covered cherries, white pepper, rose petal, I liked it a lot!
• La obscura pinot noir, from Chile, baked berries, violets, potting soil, cherry cola, clove, and I also really liked it!

And below is the ones I received in my box today, sorry for the terrible picture, i'm at work ;) I'll post my link and when you use it you get a free bottle of wine with your first box!! :)

Chillin It!

To start this off, i'm OBSESSED with Cole Swindell! Which obviously means when Off The Racks posted this tank up for pre order i jumped on it!! :) They did sell out (twice) but have them in tee's in three colors lagoon blue, neon pink and neon red orange!! I bought my crochet shorts last year from another boutique (cant remember the name) but you can find similar here in multiple colors. Sandals are last year Old Navy, but they have cute ones here. Necklace is from The Zig Zag Stripe and bracelet is from Charming Charlies!

Gaudy Girl

Last Saturday I ran into Dressin Gaudy to grab a pair of shades, Gaudy Me (the sister store) always has the best selection but I was in another town. 45 mins later I came out with my shades, and this tank and owl necklace!! They had them in multiple colors, i'll be going back to grab the coral next!! $18!! I believe the necklace was also around that price. I was so excited about shopping and getting back to my sons ball game i'm not even sure the price of the shades! You can call and they can ship! I believe Gaudy Me also carries the tanks! Dressin Gaudy Texarkana  - (903) 663-3109 or Gaudy Me! The leggings are last season from Gaudy Me but you can get similar here and my wedges I just received Saturday from Compass Trading Co and you can buy those here or similar here.

Oh, and the pictures will be getting better with an actual camera in fun locations ;) 

Happy Wednesday!!

Lights Out!

I knew for my Birthday dress, i wanted something fancy, even though I had no idea if I was even going to have Birthday plans! #momlife So for weeks I looked at all my favorite boutiques, even had friends be on the look out for me, and that's when Kiki LaRue posted the lights out lovely dress. I knew right then and there I HAD to have it!! I messaged the boutique to ask a few questions on it, FYI they got back to me in less than an hour, so a+ for customer service! Two days later the dress was in my mailbox!! We ended up having a girls night at a winery so the fanciness of the dress was perfect! You can get 10% off your first order by signing up for their emails :) My stilettos are from  Hope's last season, but you can find similar here and here.
