Wishlist Wednesday

Wishlist Wednesday



Happy Wednesday friends!

Today I am sharing a few things that have caught my eye over the past few weeks. I recently went to my local Gap and tried on these joggers and immediately wanted them for more casual days at work. They were so comfy and would also be perfect to throw on for weekend errand running. Next, I am all about these peep toe booties, I think they would be super cute with white jeans transitioning into fall or even leather leggings when the temps get cooler. If anyone is looking for a new foundation, this needs to be your next go to, it is seriously amazing. I received a sample a few weeks ago and I kid you not, it lasted all day, even through my gym session after work. I am also loving this cuff set by Treasure & Bond, perfect for everyday wear. Last but not least, this card pouch. I love being able to throw all my cards and some cash in one of these and stick in a clutch so that everything is kept together and neat.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Yours truly,
Emily Ann

Thoughts For Thursday: See Ya Later Paycheck

See Ya Later Paycheck



This Friday is payday and never have I been so exited. No one really tells you how much if costs to move and let me tell you- it's expensive. From the uhaul to renting a storage unit and putting down security deposits... wow. I have a huge list of things to do and buy this weekend, including the things listed above. Let's run through them...

I am hoping to finally get a new pair of boots and these Sam Edelman boots are currently on sale at Nordstroms. I am also am in need of a good pair of neutral flats for work and plan to check Target and Nordstroms Rack, nothing fancy just something easy and comfy for work. Now that I am working in a job that I can't wear scrubs occasionally, I have discovered my work pant selection is seriously low. I am looking for a good basic pair of black skinnies and thinking I will try Gap, Loft, and also the Lilly Pultizer Travel Pant. A few weeks ago I made the mistake of dropping my phone without a case and I now have quite the cracked screen. I would be lying if I said that pieces of glass weren't falling out on the daily. As I mentioned yesterday, I am on the hunt for a new face mask and have heard rave reviews about this one from Glam Glow. It's a bit on the pricier side but I am hoping to possibly get a sample for making the big decision. While Im perusing around Sephora I also intend to pick up the Tarte foundation. My summer foundation is a bit too dark and being that I love Tarte products, figured this was a good one to try! 

Let's not forget the things not listed like getting my oil changed and eye brows done. It's going to a be pricey weekend and I'm already having a bit of anxiety but I think come Sunday I will feel much better! 



Cheers to almost Friday!

New Fall Beauty



Since I have been away, I have tried a few new beauty products that I wanted to be sure to share. Now that the weather is getting a bit chillier, I am trying to transition my makeup and skin routine for the upcoming temperature changes. This normally means switching to a heavier lotion, switching out BB cream for an actual foundation, and giving my locks a little bit extra TLC. Here are a few new things I have picked up...



Fall Beauty Products



First Aid Beauty face moisturizer / Bumble and Bumble beauty product / Beauty product / Laura Mercier foundation, $53 / Benefit face makeup / NARS Cosmetics shimmer blush



1. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle
Since decided to have my hair highlighted a few months ago, my hair has been in need of serious moisture. I remember Ashley mentioning this product and how much she loved it so I thought I would give it a try and boy did it not disappoint. My hair feels instantly smoother and healthier after using this and it smells great!

2. Nars Blush/ Bronzer Duo
I have been eyeing this for a long time and finally decided to bit the bullet and buy it. It comes with Orgasm, a blush I have used before and LOVED. The bronzer is also great and not super dark or have a ton of shimmer in it. 

3. Aquaphor Intense Lip Repair
This is my go to for when my lips start becoming chapped. I have gone through countless numbers of these little tubes and will always love how it keeps my lips smooth and soft throughout the colder months. 

4. Benefit Watt's Up
I originally received this as a sample but quickly fell in love. I have been using it with my Blush/Bronzer for a bit of contouring and am loving it. It's also great to add a hint just below your brow bone for an added highlighting. 

5. Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Finish
If you don't have this product... run to go get it. It has officially become my favorite for adding lift and volume while also keeping fly aways in place. A little bit goes a long way and it's not exactly cheap either so use sparingly!

6. Laura Mercier Silk Foundation
While perusing at Sephora last week I mentioned to the sales girl that I was thinking about picking up a new foundation. I told her I wanted something that wasn't too heavy but would provide me with good coverage and keep my skin moisturized. After trying a few different brands, we tried this and both agreed it looked the best! It goes on super smooth and feels amazing and even lasts all day while I'm at work!

7. First Aid Beauty Daily Face Cream
I also tried this product out while I was at Sephora and instantly fell in love. It's super light weight but immediately makes your skin feel quenched. Also a steal for just $20!


How do you transition your makeup and skin care?
