Retail therapy.

As you can probably gather from the title, i did a little shopping last week (again) to make me feel a bit better about myself.  I stopped by Forever 21 and Sephora, then decided that it would probably be smart to not even take a peek at any other stores.  I'm going to make the effort to get my spending under control during the next few months.  I don't think it should be too hard to save my money during the rest of the summer as Summerfest is ending today (*tear* :( ) and i don't really have much else planned that involves spending a lot of mooolah.

These are the purchases i made last friday morning.. i was feeling quite crap as i had quite the sloppy (to say the least o_o did have an amazing time though!) before at Summerfest, but was excited to get a few new goodies.

Forever 21

Tribal-y sheer button down tank top - $19.80, sheer drop-waist top with awesome unicorn print - $13.80

Red botanical print dress - $24.80, plaid button down top - $7.80

I also got a crop top that says 'weekend warrior' on it ($12.80) but i wore it out to the Flaming Lips show i went to last night, so it's in the wash!  I saw a girl wearing it at Summerfest and i just had to get it when i saw it at F21.  I had broken my favorite sunglasses the night before, so i bought an identical pair to replace them - $5.80.

Sephora

Urban Decay Naked Palette - $48

I had walked past the Urban Decay section of Sephora not even thinking of the Naked palette.  I figured it would be out of stock until my mom pointed it out.  It was a complete impulse buy, i just kind of thought "omg, i have to get it, end of".  I am so, SO excited to use this, the colors are absolutely stunning and so 'me'. UD eyeshadows are really nice quality as well so i think i'll really get my money's worth out of this.  So excited to experiment a bit with this. :)

NARS powder blush in Deep Throat - $27

I was running out of my go-to Clinique blush that i got in one of those free gift sets with purchase and had been considering diving into more high-end brands.  I've heard many good things about NARS blushes (i was between NARS & Benefit) and i don't own any peachy blushes, so i decided to get Deep Throat, lovely name, no?  It's my first NARS purchase as well, so i'm quite excited to give this a go.
