Candles and stuff...

Hello!

It's good to be back with a haul for you! It's been very lovely here in Colorado. This lovely weather has inspired me to start decorating my home all springy and adding some color. Lately I have been in love with candles so I decided that today I would look for some fun springy scented candles to help add little pops of color and prettiness around my apartment. I have also gotten a few new makeup items that I wanted to share with you as well! Let's begin, shall we?

The first candle of that haul is the Voluspa Mokara Coconut Wax Bougie Parfumee candle. Phew! That's a mouth full...I've just been calling it the little white candle. I found this at Anthropologie. I have been in that store a few times and remembered that they had a really cute home goods section but it is a bit on the spendy side. (At least for me it was.) So, I got all the small candles that were pretty cheap just to test them out before I get the big versions. Now, I haven't burned any of the candles I am talking about in this haul yet so my views on the scents may change, but this candle claims to smell like coconut but when I opened it and sniffed I thought it had a very strong lavender scent. That's mainly why I bought it..I'm not a fan of coconut.

Look at how friggin' cute this candle is!! I bought this mainly for the color and pattern, but the scent is one that I really like as well. This candle is also from Anthropologie and is the Capri Blue candle in Oasis Blossom. The scent is a very light, floral, fresh scent that I feel would be perfect in my bathroom. It's slightly on the soapy side when it comes to scents, which I really, really don't like, but it wasn't too powerful so I think it will smell nicely when it's burning. But, oh my goodness, just look at the tin! I can't get over how cute it is!!! :D

This is the last candle I purchased today, and yes, I purchased it because of it's color! The fragrance is quite lovely as well, though. This is the Urban Outfitters fragranced candle in Solar Blossom. The scent on this candle is fairly strong so I'm not sure if I'm going to like it so much when it's burning..it smells very, very good though. It's a fresh kind of lemon type fragrance with hints of..I don't know how to explain this...grassy scent? Lemon grass? Is that a thing? Just know that it smells beautifully but a bit strongly.

The next home goods item I had gotten today are bowls! I know this is a bit random but I am currently trying to get all my kitchen ware to be the same stuff. Right now I have such a mish-mosh of bowls, glasses, plates, and silverware and I am tired of it! I want all of my things to be the same brand! I know that may seem kind of odd but it's just how I am. These bowls are my starter items in my "make everything the same" operation for my kitchen. I got these two bowls at Crate and Barrel and just adore the color. There are many other colors in plates and other bowls that I plan on getting in the future. I just wanted to start with these because A: they were really cheap and B: I need more bowls.

That's the last of my home type things I had picked up today. Now on to the makeup items! These things I actually purchased earlier this week so pardon my dirty brush..

This is the Sephora Bronzer brush! (eewww, fat fingers!) This is probably my new powder brush now! It's such a dense, round brush that is really great and evenly applying bronzer to my face. I highly recommend this to all of you who are looking for a nice brush!

I couldn't get a bronzer brush without purchasing some bronzer, right? Right! This is the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Bakes Powder in Bronze 02. I had never used this before but so far I am really enjoying it. I am very pail and have had some bad experiences in the past with bronzer making me look muddy or like I just had dirt on my face. This does not do that to me at all. It really works well for contouring and just giving me a little bit of color in the areas that I need it. The little pod is the Laura Mercier Highlighter sampler that the clerk had nicely given to me to give it a try. I highly recommend the highlighter to everyone! It's so, so beautiful and just makes my skin look so healthy and pretty!

The last item! This is what I have been the most excited to talk about! It is the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Monte Blanc. Oh, my, god! I could not rave about this foundation enough! This foundation gives me just the right amount of coverage and is long lasting without leaving my face feeling weighed down and cakey. A little goes a very long way for my face so I know this bottle is going to last me quite awhile and I just adore it!!

Well, that's it! That's my little home goods haul with the bit of makeup at the end. Please let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions of other things you think I would enjoy! I am always interested in what you readers have that you love so I may try them out myself. Don't forget to subscribe to my blog if you enjoyed reading!

Byeeee!
