Wedding Weekend

My boyfriend and I were invited to a wedding this past weekend. My bf was a groomsmen so I was very excited to see him all dressed up in a tuxedo. Plus, I love a reason to get dressed up and dance! 

My Makeup:

Urban Decay's Smog (Naked Palette) in Crease
UD Flow (15 Anniversary Palette) on Inner Lid
UD Chase (15 Anniversary Palette) on Outer Lid


I promise my makeup looked better in person than in this picture. I'm having a hard time getting any decent photos (most are out of focus/dark/and not picking up colors) with this Sony Cybershot. I'm probably going to be selling this camera and getting a new one soon. If you have any good camera recommendations please let me know. I also need it for product photography for my Etsy shop.

I finished off the look with pink cheeks and pink lips:




MAC lipstick in Angel (swatch on the right)
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Amused (swatch on the left) Review coming soon! here.

My dress:

Sequin Belted Dress, Express $98


As you can probably guess from my "Pink Glitter" blog/shop name, I love anything that glitters. So I was really excited when I found this black sequin dress. Even more exciting was that I saved over $90 at Express with coupons (I also picked up a pair of their Editor pants and two tops).

My shoes:



Steve Madden Glitter Heels, Marshall's $39.99

If you follow me on twitter, you probably already saw these shoes I found at Marshall's. My feet are killing me today but these glittery heels are so worth it! I was disappointed because the pair I tried on were too big, but my mom found a hidden pair in my size. I love shopping with my mom :)


Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Sephora F&F Haul

If you haven't, here is what I picked up during the 20% off event. Reviews and swatches to come soon, so be sure to subscribe! :)


 I'm so happy my order arrived quickly. My MAC foundation is too dark for my now pale fall/winter complexion. I have a wedding to attend this weekend where my boyfriend is a groomsmen so I'm glad my foundation will match for pictures.

Urban Decay F&F Sale

Just wanted to write a quick post in case you don't already know...

Urban Decay is having their Friends & Family Sale!

Save 20% off using code FFHolidaySale

(Included in the sale are items in the sale section!)

Urban Decay is my all-time favorite brand.

If you're new to the brand or are looking for recommendations,

here are some of my favorites:

Naked Palette 

Regular price: $48.00

20% off sale price: $38.40

Urban Decay is known for their bold, bright colors. However, if you're not into rocking brights, Urban Decay created a palette of neutrals that will please those looking for a more natural, toned-down look. This kit includes 12 eyeshadows, shadow brush, and a mini potion primer.

15-Year Anniversary Eyeshadow Collection:

Regular Price: $55.00

20% off sale price: $44.00

If you like neutral looks but also love the occasional bright look, this is the palette for you! This palette contains 15 brand new shades and is a nice mixture of neutrals, brights, and shadows to create a smokey eye. See my full review/swatches here.

Eyeshadow Primer Potion:

Regular price: $19

20% off sale price: $15.20

One of Urban Decay's cult favorite products. I discovered UDPP four years ago and have since gone through countless bottles (now tubes!). UDPP makes your eyeshadow last longer, makes it brighter, and prevents creasing. Comes in four shades. I love the Original and Greed (matte) version.

 Also available in XXL professional size (150% more than the original bottles) for $24 (regularly $30) or if you don't mind the vintage bottles they have them on sale for $8 (regular sale price $10).

24/7 Glide-On Pencils:

Regular Price $18 (some $9)

20% sale price: $14.40 (some $7.20)

I'm in love with these eyeliners. My favorite and most used is the carbon black shade, Zero. I even have quite a few backups. Like the name implies, these pencils glide-on easily (no tugging or dragging!) which makes it the perfect eyeliner for beginners or those without a steady hand. They come in so many different shades and value kits, check out all the eyeliners out here.

Dates: 12am PST 11/01/11- 11:59pm 11/05/11

I'm still debating getting anything as I just placed a makeup order during Sephora F&F sale.

Handmade Love Vol. III

Here are some handmade items on Etsy I'm currently lusting over:

Corset Ring- Favored $40

by MerCurios

I love this ring. It's so unique and edgy. Want your ring to say something other than favored? The seller can personalize your ring with a word or two!

Golden Hearts Fingerless Gloves $25

by LoveandKnit

I love wearing pretty scarves & gloves when the weather gets chilly. These cinnamon colored gloves are the perfect color for fall and I'm in love with the tiny gold heart sequins sewn on. 

2012 Lattice Weekly Planner $20

by: sarahpinto

In college, a planner was the ultimate organizational tool to write down my many assignments/tests, sport games, and club meetings. I love that this planner is broken into weeks but also has a monthly calendar, a notes/to do section and a telephone/address book!  Plus, these planners from etsy shop, sarahpinto, are so fun and preppy!
