What surprised me the most was how pigmented these matte colors were. Normally a matte comes out pretty faded, especially if the majority of the colors are shimmery. The only reason I'm trying to avoid glitter is because, I don't think it makes a good daytime look (on me.) Whenever there is a shimmer, the eyes pop, while you have to tone down the rest of your face including the lips. With matte colors, your cheeks and/or lips can pop. Although I love my Urban Decay Book of Shadows, I think I can do more looks with the Too Faced Matte Eye Palette for the daytime.
The next stop for the day was Forever21. I used to really despise that store in high school....but that is a story for another time.
Anyway, I am in LOVE with crop tops for some reason. I just love the freedom mainly. Before I used to be super self conscious about showing even the tiniest of my midriff...well that's actually a blog post for another time. I saw this top and I just had to get it. It stops right above my belly button. I guess I could pair this with some high waisted shorts, which I do not own. That means I have another shopping trip to attend to. :) Also I went crazy on the underwear section, it was 5 for $10. So I got 10 pairs of undies. They're all extremely cute, just take my word for it. ;) Then I saw what I've been looking for. Its been almost 3 weeks since I've seen the pair of shorts that I NEEDED to have. Every time I would try and purchase them online....sold out. :( Yesterday I finally got them and was SO happy.
These are the Tiered Lace Shorts that I have been searching for. If they don't sell out again I'm going to get the peach ones also. These were $19.50 and they're really good quality (for Forever21). And not only are they just gorgeous, they're COMFORTABLE.

The last stop of the day was Micheals. I purchased these containers and some crystal fillers to make makeup brush holders. I was going to get glass vases but, I liked these more. I got two of them; one for my eye brushes and the other for my face brushes. Its a small collection for now, but one day its going to be a full container of brushes. :)
I LOVE those shorts! I have almost similar ones, but mine are from Ebay and pink ;D I`m soooo in love with lace right now!!
