Nordstrom Anniversary Sale | My Top Picks

Hey Ya'll!

So this is the first year I've been super pumped about the Nsale!

The sale opened to the public today July 21st & ends August 6th.
So before I jump into my top picks- here's a run down of the way it works.

 It opens to Nordstrom card holders first before it opens to the general public.

During those days, if you're a card holder you can purchase in store or order, and if you're not you can still browse the preview on their site which will show you everything that will be included in the sale, it's original price, sale price, etc etc..

The sale includes: Womens, Mens, Kids, Home, and Beauty.

I'm not a card holder because I would most likely be bankrupt, (jk..I have self control. Sometimes)

but I have been browsing all of the items as well as reading blogs and watching try-on hauls.

Last night I added all of the items I knew I want to a "wishlist" (which you can do on their site) so that I would be ready this morning (I set my alarm for 7AM... no biggie..).

Warning..  These items go quick!!!

Anything in your cart is not reserved and CAN sell out.

Luckily the main items I wanted I was able to snag this morning and the others I have open in my browser, and am still hoping to get them at some point if they come back in stock.

I've heard that if an item is out of stock Nordstrom restocks a lot of items every day, but I've also found that refreshing the page like a mad woman is rather effective as well. 

Whatever works, right?

So let me shut my mouth and get into it.

The following items are ALL items I am hoping to get my hands on and I feel confident

my life cannot go on without them.

*Original & Sale Price will be below the photo as well as a link to the item.

Bell Sleeve Sweater by CHELSEA28

Originally: $89.00

On Sale: $58.90

-Click Here to Shop-

I snagged this beauty up because it's unlike anything I have in my closet.

Bell sleeves are super on trend, but this top is unique because under the bell sleeve is a built in fitted sleeve so that your arm is still covered and warm.

I think that's a great unique touch.

Rib Knit Open Cardigan by DREAMERS BY DEBUT

(Currenty Sold Out- Will update prices later.)

-Click Here to Shop-

I am anxiously refreshing the page over and over just praying to get this!

It looks so snuggly and amazing.  A chunky cardigan is a staple for Fall & Winter.

All of the reviews say it's amazing.

Wrin Rib-Knit & Genuine Shearling Slipper by UGG

Originally: $119.95

Sale Price: $79.90

-Click Here to Shop-

Grabbed these up first thing!  

I'll probably wear these as shoes, majority of the UGG 'slippers' are more like shoes.

I have the open back slippers and live in them, so I thought these would be great too.

Reviews say they run extremely small, I'm usually a 7.5 and ordered a 9.

Corbin Genuine Calf Hair Slide Loafer by HALOGEN

Originally: $89.95

Sale Price: $59.90

-Click Here to Shop-

I think these are incredible!  Sassy and classic at the same time.

Everyone needs a little leopard in their life.  RAWR

(What sound does a leopard make?  Idk)

They're out of stock in my size *cries a river- but I'm keeping a check on them!

Favorite Oversize Crew Sweatshirt by REEBOK

Originally: $55.00

Sale Price: $35.90

-Click Here to Shop-

Again..  I'm constantly refreshing the page hoping to get this.

I feel like this is something I'd just live in all winter.

It covers your butt so it's perfect for leggings.

The white color is called "Chalk/Grey" but a Nordstrom rep has assured me it's indeed white.

 V-Neck Pullover by BP.

Originally: $39.00

Sale Price: $24.90

-Click Here to Shop-

Over-sized sweaters are a must.  They're just so versatile.

Snagged this in "grey med hthr".

 Blouson Sleeve Sweater by LEITH

Originally: $69.00

Sale Price: $45.90

-Click Here to Shop-

This hidden gem isn't something I'd see online and say "yes, need it", but I seen

it featured in a try-on haul and it really caught my eye!

Right now it's only available in the color shown above, but if any other colors restock I'm definitely ordering!

Prasata Bootie by VINCE CAMUTO

Originally: $149.95

Sale Price: $99.90

-Click Here to Shop-

Booties are everything lately.  I think these would be great transition shoes from Fall and into Winter.

I'm being indecisive over these just because I can't decide between black and brown- it would be silly to get the same shoe in 2 colors.... Or would it? Hm.

I'm also linking some of my favorite blogs that have done posts on the sale

as well as a couple try-on hauls that aided me in my decisions on what I just had to have.

Sephora Collection Citrus Brush Cleaner | Review + Demo

Retails for $11.50 at Sephora

4.0 OZ

Paraben Free

Claims to clean & condition dirty makeup brushes without soap or water.

Can be found here.

Hey Ya'll!

So I decided to give this a try after an Ulta MUA told me she swears by the Parian Secrets formula.

The Sephora Collection brush cleaner is actually a collab with Parian Secrets and is the exact same formula just packaged differently.

You can find the original Parian Secrets cleaner online in various sizes for more reasonable prices, but I opted for Sephora's because it was easier to get a hold of and is in a handy dandy spray bottle.

So... Does it really work??

HECK YES!!!!

I am completely and utterly obsessed.  I'm really not quite sure how I ever lived without this stuff and I'm not sure I'll ever wash my brushes with soap and water ever again.. lol

2 sprays is all you need even on larger powder brushes, swirl the brush on a paper towel and it comes clean..

So clean that all of the junk that comes off of it may scare you.

It has a fresh Citrus smell (which I love) and leaves my brushes super duper soft.

This cleaner is quick drying, but does leave your brush a little damp afterward so I wouldn't recommend using it and then going in to do your makeup right away.  

Granted your brushes won't be as clean as if you scrubbed them with soap & water, I've found the foundation brushes are the hardest but it definitely gets majority of my brushes totally clean.

It's great as a spot cleaner in between 'real' washes.

*Demo below cleaning a foundation brush..

Another thing I use this for is to clean my foundation mixing pan.

I have such a hard time cleaning that darn thing with soap & water but just a half spray of this stuff and it wipes clean.

Overall, I definitely recommend this little miracle product.

I think this size bottle would last the average person quite a while.

I haven't even put a dent in mine and am already planning on purchasing back ups.

So go run, don't walk.
You need it.
Right now.

:-)

Til Next Time...

Salty Mermaid Swimwear | Review + Mod Shots

First things first... The way that these swim suits are packaged and delivered is to die for!!!  To die I tell you!!  

I'm a sucker for packaging and obviously Mermaids *points to my blog name- the presentation when I opened this box made my jaw drop.  So adorable!!  

*Photo below.  :-)

If you're interested in their swimwear, use code SALTYTERIN10 for 10% off your order!

I chose their "Pineapple Me Crazy" set & the "Merbabe" set.

They're both SO gorgeous!

The Pineapple has a triangle top with a "T cut" back and fringes that are removable and cheeky bottoms.

The Merbabe top is so cute and unique with a tied knot in the front.  

Personally I think it's super versatile and I'll probably style it as a crop top with high waist jean shorts.

Salty Mermaid "Merbabe" Set - CLICK HERE TO SHOP

Quality:  

The quality is top notch..  It just feels good to the touch and so comfy! 

Definitely luxe fabric with a seamless look.

Sizing:  

As far as sizing goes, I do feel like the bottoms are cut a wee bit smaller than "standard". 

I originally got my normal size (medium bottom and small top) and I ended up swapping out the bottoms for a large.

  For the "Pineapple Me Crazy" bottom sizes XS-M are "Brazilian cut" and L-XL are a "Cheeky"  scrunch butt style with a bit more coverage.  I originally got a medium Brazilian cut which on me was a thong- if you're comfortable with that then swim on little mermaid, but for me it just isn't practical for every day wear.  

I swapped out the medium bottoms for a large (super easy btw, their Customer Care is A++) and they fit amazingly!  

 I will insert photos below comparing the medium & large bottoms for both suits I received to give y'all a better idea of what I'm talking about.  

**Just so you know, not every set is made the same as far as cut & size, just be sure to check the description & their size chart is super informative as far as bottom sizes and styles.  I'm also told that in their upcoming South Africa collection, all bottoms will be available in both Brazilian and Cheeky.

Score!!

Overall, I LOVE this brand y'all!

On the uniqueness scale they get a 100%!

You see a lot of brands all using the same styles, but not Salty!

These suits have a little flare and are just perfect!

Compared to other brands at the same price point, I feel these blow those right out of the water.

(Pun intended.. lol)

Definitely check out their website and give them a try!

If you have a bit of a butt like me, I suggest sizing up on your bottoms and you'll be fine!

Don't forget to use my code and save some money, girl!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

Feel free to drop me any questions in the comments.

Til next time...

Oil Control Makeup | My Summer Foundation Routine

Hey Ya'll!

With hot weather approaching (maybe, maybe not... Global Warming is real y'all) I wanted

to share my Summer foundation routine for controlling my inner grease ball.

I tend to be extremely oily in the warmer/ humid months and have found some rideor die products along the way.

All of these products except the setting spray I've been using for years and swear by!

In this little run down of my routine/ must-haves, I'll be sharing my go-to moisturizer, foundation, bb cream, powder, and setting spray, ALL FOR THAT OIL, along with tips for staying shine free throughout the day... You're welcome.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

- 

This moisturizer is geared towards people with combo oily to oily skin.

It's an oil-free product (which is important if you're already oily) and will reduce & suck up your oil production as well as give you an instantly matte base.

I think this is crucial as a sort of "primer" before my foundation.  For me, it's like a moisturizer and primer all in 1.  (The less products the better!)

I definitely get more oily if I don't use it.

Clinique Stay Matte Foundation in "19 Sand"

-

I really love this foundation!

This combined with the moisturizer will keep me matte for pretty much an entire day & night.

My only gripe, it's a bit thick for my preference & difficult to apply soooo I mix it with my

bb cream to thin it out.

This makes it much easier to apply with my beauty sponge and it also doesn't appear cakey.

(Anyone know why they call it cakey?  It doesn't look at all like cake, but there's layers to that shit! haha Omg is that way it's called that??  MAYBE! Cakey isn't what ya want, but actual cake, I could go for that.  Yum)

Garnier Combo to Oily BB Cream "Medium to Deep"

-

My holy grail!!!

The lighter shade is all that I wear usually during the winter.

I mix this with my Clinique foundation for a few reasons...

It thins the Clinique out, the bb has SPF, and together they're my perfect summer color.

Dreams do come true you guys!

Neutrogena Shine Control Translucent Pressed Powder

-

I use this to set my foundation as well as a touch-up powder for throughout the day.

This powder has "rice protein" and while I'm not totally sure what that is, I'm convinced it's a miracle product sent from the heavens.

I've tried other powders such as the Maybelline Matte + Poreless, but this is my fave for years.

ULTA Beauty Matte Setting Spray

-

I picked this up during the winter simply because it said "matte" and had good reviews.

Ulta brand products are usually buy 2, get 2 free, what a steal!

The first couple times I used it I wasn't sold on it and was convinced that they're big fat liars because it actually seemed to make me oilier than before, but after trial and error I've discovered that it has to be applied very sparingly to be effective.

I do maybe 3 sprays to cover my face and no lie, I am matte for the day!

Now, I'm obsessed.

It's a great price and it smells good!

I'm really looking forward to drowning myself in it this Summer. 

Additional Tips:

- Be sure to set that t-zone especially! 

- Don't pack a ton of heavy products on your face.

- Use powder products rather than cream.

- If you want to do highlight, don't add any near balls of cheeks, forehead, etc

it will just accentuate your shininess.

- Use oil- free products and products that mattify or control shine/ oil.

- If you have oily eyelids, be sure to use a lid primer to make your eye shadow last.

Other Face Products I Love During The Summer:

Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer

Milani baked blush in "Luminoso"

ANY peach lipstick or gloss!  Give me them all

Nars blush in "Orgasm"

Benefit blush in "Dallas", "Dandelion", "Rockateur", and "Coralista"

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in "Sun Dipped"

Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

Stila eye shadow in "Kitten" - Loreal Infallible shadow in "Iced Latte" is a dupe

Urban Decay eye shadows in "Chopper", "Polyester Bride", "Smog", and "Half Baked"

I hope you guys love this post!
As always feel free to drop me any questions/ comments.

Top 5 Most Underrated Products | Beauty + Skincare

1.  ULTA Brand Clear Brow Gel - Click To Shop

This brow gel is everything you need in your life.  Enough said!

I don't fill my brows in, but they are wild & crazy and this keeps them locked in place

all day errr day!

Probably for days if I didn't wash it off.  lol

I already have a stash pile of backups.

It's not given the love it deserves and I am personally offended that it doesn't have

better ratings on Ulta.com.

2.  Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads - Click To Shop

These aren't usually (well sometimes they are) a part of my daily skin routine, but they

are when I'm taking my mask off. *future voice

They're double sided, 1 is bumpy to exfoliate and the other is smooth.

I use them at the end of my little routine, and they're great because they're white and you

can see that your skin is clean, or any additional mess they clean off.

I've repurchased it a shit ton of times and will probably use them for life.

3.  Palmer's Skin Therapy Face Oil - Click To Shop

Face oil is all the buzz these days, and this 1 is such a gem at an affordable price.

I apply it with a Real Techniques face brush and y'all! YESSS!

During the winter, this was a life saver for dry/ chapped skin.

I'm combo to oily skin and I've even worn it under makeup!

It doesn't break me out, it helps blemishes, texture on your under eyes, and solves all of life's problems.  

4.  Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser - Click To Shop

Sooo charcoal on the face, seems a bit suspect, right?? 

But apparently it's great for you.  

I don't really know, but I do know I'm a lover of this face wash and I've repurchased it multiple times.

It's my "step 2" in the life long makeup removing process.

I rub it all over my face and then scrub it with my Sephora dual sided face brush and let me tell you, it works wonders!

I do think if you have any underlying dirt/ blemishes it will pull them to the surface and cause a pimple from time to time, but overall it's awesome and makes my face feel smooth and clean without that gross filmy feeling leftover afterward.

5.  Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Conditioner - Click To Shop

Now..   I use this in a bit of an unconventional way.. Lol

Yes, it's a hair conditioner, but I use it to shave and it's AMAZE BALLS!

I have the shampoo & conditioner and have used them in my hair- while they were

great for dry scalp in the winter, they're so moisturizing that they just leave my hair "too soft", un-manageable, and lifeless.  Ready for the grave I tell you.

I will continue to purchase the conditioner to shave with though.  It's better than any shaving cream or soap I have ever shaved with.  Super moisturizing pre & post shave.

Give it a try for sure!

And there you have it...

My top 5 most underrated products!

I tried to keep this post a bit more short and sweet.

Hope y'all enjoyed.

Til next time...
