Swim 2014

So this weekend I went shopping last minute with a friend and came home with some major deals!!
I opened a Victoria's Secret Angels credit card in December and so I got some coupons in my email and mail. I also had a $20 gift card to VS so I went in the store looking to buy something and I had been eyeing their swim suits! I hate ordering things online because I'm never sure of the size. So this VS in Santa Monica had swim! I tried on this cute strapless top and it was perfect! I am never one to buy a strapless top but this one has the right support! And the bottoms I had the exact same in solid black.
This top was originally 32 dollars, and the bottom was 24. Using my $20 gift card, 20% off one item, and 10 dollars off for my "Birthday Month," My total for this 56 dollar suit was $24 !!! AND I got a free tote bag! It's huge and retails for $75. Not sure if anyone pays that much or even buys it (I wouldn't pay that much for it), but it was free!

Divergent Movie Screening! -- NOT!

So this isn't very fashion related, but tonight after work I am going to an advanced movie screening for Divergent! Have any of you read the books or are excited to go see it?!? I know I am!
I recently got into the series and am currently on the second book. I was really excited when I found out the movie was coming out March 21. But then, one of my friends got an email for free tickets to an advance screening of the movie tonight in LA! So I am going to see it, so excited!!

Urban Decay Friends and Fanatics Event!

Hello readers! Sorry for the lack of posts! I have been crazy busy with grad school and work, I have been going insane with experiments and presentations. But I have still been on the lookout for new makeup and deals. I went out last night for a friend's birthday to a club in West Hollywood, it was really fun and I needed a night out! I did my eye makeup using the Naked3.

I have recently come to LOVE Urban Decay Makeup. I am in love with the Naked3 palette, and in one of my past Ipsy Glambags (I still have to review January's bag, oops! post soon!), I got a sample of the UD Revolution lipstick in Anarchy. You might remember my review and how I fell in love with it! It is so creamy and moisturizing, and the color is so bright and lovely!! I have been looking for an excuse to buy these lipsticks, and at $22, it is a little steep, but I think it is well worth the price!
and Lo and behold, UD is having a sale! AND there is early access to the sale, where you can get 20% off any makeup (excluding the Naked3) by using the code "FFSPRING14," from now until Valentines day!!

I'm really trying to decide if I should just buy these from the Urban Decay website or Sephora.... hmmm.... which would you order from? There's no 20% off on Sephora but you can get a lot more free goodies and I would get my Birthday gift (My Birthday is coming up at the end of the month!!) and Beauty Insider points.... decisions decisions.... what would you do??
