Friday Favorites!!

Happy Friday!!! Lindsey aka Bargain Blonde is re-resurrecting her Friday Favorites linkup and since she is one of my favorite bloggers and hosts one of my FAVE linkups, I couldn't wait to write my post! 
This week's favorites are a nice random assortment...gotta keep it interesting around here!
Favorite shoes

I posted about these Ugg slippers in my birthday post and have finally gotten some good use out of them this week! Temperatures around here have gotten down to the 40s at night so I've been wearing them all around the apartment and to run quick errands. If you want some warm WARM shoes and don't want a full Ugg boot, these are the way to go!
Favorite Drink

After this past fun-filled weekend (or any fun-filled weekend for that matter), my go to food is McDonalds, for a number of reasons. For starters, it's the closest fast food restaurant to my aparment . Secondly, I do believe it's the perfect amount of greasiness without making you feel sick. I always go with the classic McChicken sandwich, medium fries, and a LARGE Diet Coke. Point of this story is I have fallen back in love with McDonalds' Diet Coke. I don't know what they do but their combination of syrup and carbonation is just perfection. I may have had 5+ servings of this liquid gold this week...and we still have Saturday to go.

*on a side note, how the heck was I able to write a whole paragraph about Diet Coke?!?*

Favorite App

Pandora has just not been cutting it for me recently so I downloaded the I Heart Radio app and it's all I've been playing! I love it because I'll just go to whatever music genre I want to listen to (Top 40 for example) and I can scan through all the different radio stations around the country. Best of all I can scan as much as I want and not be limited!! I was listening to the Top 40 station in NYC earlier this week right after Sandy hit and it was really interesting to hear locals talk about it and just how much it shut that city down. 

Favorite Snack

Yall have GOT to try this combo!! The spices on the crackers in combination with the cheese is just SO GOOD! I had to stop myself from eating all the cheese wedges! If you can just eat one wedge, it's actually a pretty healthy snack too! :)
Favorite Beauty Products

One of these is an oldie but a goodie and other I just discovered. Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser is the best concealer I have found that works for me, drugstore or high end! I have this in a number of different colors depending on the time of year and an additional highlighter shade, and they are all awesome! My new favorite is Sephora's Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in Glitter Black, which you can find here. I had to put a link cuz this stuff is AWESOME! I've been playing around with the eyeliners I bought in the Sephora kit I showed in my beauty haul, and this one is surprisingly my favorite thus far! When i went out this weekend I used this on my water line and it did NOT budge!! Dare I say that I like it better than the Makeup Forever Aqua Liner! It's very affordable at $12 and comes in so many colors! Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Well there you have it! My favorites for this week!! Please let me know if you have tried or are gonna try some of these things and link up with Lindsey!

Happy Friday yall!!!

Friday (Saturday) Faves

Happy weekend! I know I know I'm a day late on this linkup, and I know yall may be getting tired of link-ups, but lets face it they're a fun, usually quick way for me to get a post up while I work on other posts (like my London recaps which I PROMISE are coming!!). Plus a linkup like this one gives me a great excuse to talk about some of my favorite products!

My fellow makeup obsessed friend Jordan let me buy her basically brand new Clarisonic Mia 2 from her and I have loved it since first use! I have been wanting a Clarisonic for YEARS but (1) couldn't justify such a pricey beauty purchase and (2) never had enough money as a college student. I was concerned using the Clarisonic twice a day would aggravate my rosacea, but using it in combination with my Purity cleanser I have had nothing but good results so far! 

I talked about these hair ties in my Charlotte shopping post but after using them all week I had to come back and say that they really do live up to the hype! I used one all day at work with my hair in a bun, and while the hair tie did stretch out there were no creases or bumps to be found! I used another one today and had my hair in a ponytail from 10am to 8:30pm and once again no crease in my hair! Plus that one didn't stretch out! Definitely worth the money if you ask me :)

This is a little sneak peak of my case of "empties", or products that I have used up! I have SOOO many skincare, hair, and makeup products lying around that I have GOT to get through some of them before I buy more. When this container fills up a little more I plan to do a separate post and/or video about the products and what I would buy or repurchase, but this is just a preview of what I have used so far! 

What are some of your favorite products this week? Any exciting plans for the weekend???
