It's that Time of Year Again! (Halloween, duh)

Hello everyone!

Popping on here to give you a little deal for holiday!

Pinkyparadise, my ultimate favourite lens company, has given me a 50% off code for Halloween.  It starts today(19 Sept) and goes on until Halloween! (31 Oct)(*note: Scleras are not included in this discount)

I've been buying and wearing Pinky Paradise lenses for at 7+ years. I've never ever had eye issues or any problems with their lenses. I find them all to be comfortable and beautiful. I wouldn't recommend them if I didn't trust their product! 

My everyday lenses come from them as well as all of my costume/cosplay lenses!

***To maintain transparency, I want to let you know that this blog post is not sponsored. My opinions are my own and are truthful. I have purchased many, many contacts from this site. However, I do receive a very small percentage from the sales using my link at PinkyParadise.com, which helps me purchase supplies for my makeup art/everyday contacts/products to review...etc.  But, I generally try to put that towards creating art. If you would like to support me, thank you so much! I try to post any coupon codes and links I get from companies, whether I get any percentage from them or not. I'm all about saving money, so I like helping those that like to do so as well! 

 

Seattle Zoo Day

This is not my typical blog post...actually, I don't even think I have a typical one since I post so little, (whoops) but after our recent trip to Seattle, I had a lot of people asking to see more of the snapshots I'd posted in my stories! (that was a long sentence)

I'm blessed to live in a place where it's easy and relatively cheap to go to cool attractions like museums and zoos, so I love sharing on my Instagram stories for those who don't get to see things like this often (or ever) 

I took a lot of photos on my phone and I might add those later, but here is a small gallery of snaps from the Seattle Aquarium and Zoo that I took on my camera.

Hope you like! Let me know if I should post more like this (: (If you're on mobile, just tap the image and it'll open in a larger view)

Daniel Wellington Classic Black Collection

I've been a huge fan of Daniel Wellington's brand since I first saw them on Instagram.  I'd always wanted a watch, but the white face just didn't fit with my wardrobe. Quite recently, they launched the Classic Black collection, which is an extension of their flagship Classic Collection.  All black watch in a minimalist style? I had to get my hands on one. 

The watch I chose was the Classic Black Sheffield in silver. Black leather band, silver hardware, and black face. The watch case is super thin, at 6mm. It fits my wrist perfectly. I find most watches far too bulky for my tiny wrist. 

Along with my watch, I also got the silver cuff! It was delicate and simple.  I think it's beautiful. It has a circumference of 155mm(for the small.) It makes a beautiful accessory to the watch and is also lovely on it's own. It's made of refined and polished 316L stainless steel.

This beautiful watch is regularly $199 on the Daniel Wellington site, but right now it's showing $159 when added to cart. If you use AYCARTER at checkout, you can save an additional 15%, bringing the discounted total to $135.532. The cuff is also discounted right now! It's normally $59 but is ringing up for $47. The watch + cuff together with all the discounts is $175.56

One last bit of info before I stop writing! The Classic black collection is offered with gold and silver hardware and multiple band options -- leather, texture leather, and NATO in black, brown, and dark brown.

The watch is beautifully made and goes with everything. I've worn it almost every day since it made it to my door.  I like that it's super simple and can be dressed up or dressed down. I wore it and the cuff with a Helmut Lang dress for Christmas and I wear it with just plain leggings and a blouse. My kind of jewelry is jewelry that goes with everything. I definitely recommend this if you're in the market for some wrist decoration that also tells time ;P

***To maintain transparency, I want to let you know that this blog post is not sponsored. My opinions are my own and are truthful. The watch and cuff were graciously gifted to me from the Daniel Wellington team.  The discount code I have is not an affiliate code, so I do not make a percentage on sales.  

NEW Feral Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks

Very excited to be one of the first to try Feral Cosmetic's new liquid lipsticks! I have all of their bullet lipsticks and the formula is fantastic.  They stay all day.  In fact, I wear Envy, their red lipstick, very often. 

Feral has been working on perfecting their liquid formula for the past year. The formula for these has a creamy velvety feel--almost mousse like, but not as dry and airy. It's very pigmented and opaque, so one swipe gets you full coverage.  It dries down matte and they say it's touch proof and hydrating. I haven't worn these for an entire day yet, but if they are anything like their bullet lipsticks, they'll wear beautifully.

They are launching 5 shades in their new liquid lipsticks. Lustful, Beach Bum, Paint Me Pink, Mauve Along, and Butt Naked.  They will be $18 each and their are 3.5g/0.12oz. They are made in the USA, Cruelty-Free, and Vegan! 

Wearing "Lustful" and "Butt Naked." Topped with sparkly, pink gloss.

For Black Friday/Launch Weekend (25-30 Nov), Feral has discounted the new lipsticks and their satin bullet lipsticks to $15 and free USA shipping with min two item purchase! 
They will also be donating 10% of their proceeds from the launch to PETA.

Swatches below! One coat of each. They are super opaque, so no extra coats needed.

If you would like to pick up these or their satin lipsticks, be sure to check out their Black Friday sale to get them at a discount! You can get these at Feralcosmetics.com
