So todays post is a interesting one because I have never done something like this post ever before....

and this is going to by my Collective Empty Items Post. 

I've seen some beauty bloggers do this occasionally and so I decided that I was going to try it and see how it went. So above in the image are the items that I have emptied over the last couple months [Couple months what?! To explain; today I cleaned out my makeup vanity... and thats why I am now coming up with all these items... why I didnt throw them away before I dont know, but these are from the past couple months that I found today... some items are recent and some are not]

E.l.f Eyelid Primer

My favorite products from this post would have to be the Clinique Touch Base and the Elf eyelid Primer. The Clinique Touch Base my grandmother gave me in a bag of items she had gotten and didnt want and I have to say it is one that I will be purchasing myself in the future. The Elf Primer, its only $1 and it is a awesome product. I love elf products and that one really keeps your eyeshadows all day. 

All Products bought by hellosimpleme except Clinique Touch Base; That was given to me by my Grandmother.

3 Sinful Colors Nail Polishes in (from left to right) Vacation Time, Easy Going, and Ruby Ruby

Went to Rite Aid with my Sister to get some new gel eyeliner and mascara but ended up getting a few other products as well. I am thinking that I will definitely review the eyeliner and the mascara, maybe the Wet N Wild products as well, I have a few other nail polishes from Sinful Colors so a review on them would probably be a do in the future. 

Disclaimer: Products all bought with MY own money taken from my OWN bank account.

I already applied the nail polishes and I love the colors. Ive been really into dark colors recently which is strange because it is Summer Time so maybe i am just season confused. 

Hope you all are having a good day!

XOXO

Top 10 Summer Picks for: June

Top Row: The Power of Style (1), Vintage Tee From Old Navy (2), Goody Ouchless No Metal Elastics (3)

Second Row: Maybelline Baby Lips (4), Sally Hanson X-Treme Nail Polish in Mint Sorbet (5), Philips Headphones (6), Maybelline Ulta-Liner in Waterproof Black (7), Covergirl BB Cream in shade 810 (8), Pandora (9) and Finally Vaseline total moisture cocoa radiant rich feeling lotion (10)

(1)

the Power of Style by Bobbie Thomas

My Mom bought this for me as a bribe for getting a scholarship essay done and I am so glad I did! It is such an insightful book full of useful information. I havent gotten all the way through with it yet but I am a little less than half way finished, it is sure to be one I read and re-read all summer long! Recomend  this book for any fashionista!

(2)

Vintage Tees from Old Navy

I have SOOOO many of these and they are super light and I have been wearing them everyday for the past few weeks. They have different neck cuts and so I have two that are crew necks and the rest are v-necks. I believe I have about 10 of these in different colors. (I bought them on sale last summer)

(3)

Goody Ouchless No Metal Elastics

Pack of 24 for about $3? Should last for most of the summer! I love these hairbands! They are tight around your wrist at first until you use them a few times ( I tend to forget they are there and sleep with them on: resulting in those awful marks on my wrist in the morning).

(4)

Maybelline Baby Lips

Besides Softlips these have to be my favorite lip balm! The one in the picture is the Sunscreen one so its clear but I also have a different one that is in the shade Pink Punch and that one does definitely give lips color!

(5)

Sally Hanson X-Treme Nail Polish in Mint Sorbet

My favorite spring and summer color! I generally use two coats and it stays on for few days without chipping.

(6)

Philips Headphones

Been using these babys for a few months (got them for Christmas) and I really like them! The quality is high, and I believe they came with a one year warranty.

(7)

Maybelline Ulta-Liner in Waterproof Black

This is another item that I have been using for a while and really like. I like the brush, and it applies easily which I am thankful for. It was kinda expensive but has lasted for a few months so it seems to end up paying for itself.

(8)

Covergirl BB Cream in shade 810

I have been LOVING this stuff. Only a little bit is needed for it goes a long way. It has a nice formula and glides easily over the skin. 

(9)

Pandora

My skrillex playlist. Enough said. ;)

(10)

Vaseline total moisture cocoa radiant rich feeling lotion

Have used this baby for a long while, I believe I have had the bottle for over a year and there is about a third left which isnt bad. I normally just use it for my legs so that might be why its taken me so long to use it but it smells sooooo good and I love putting it on.

Bond Girl Nails

So its raining and boring today, and my mint nails were chipping so I decided to repaint them. They are in the same style as my summer nail tutorial but with different colors. 

Cant really tell but the base color is a deep purple, its so pretty. 

When I was doing them I thought it kinda reminded me of the Bond Girl from Skyfall. With the deep purple gold and the white, I think thats what I am going to call them. 

(Little late but hey thats alright!)

XOXO
