Erin Condren 2018 Holiday Gift Guide

Happy Monday! Today I am excited to bring you a Holiday Gift Guide for one of my favorite companies, Erin Condren. I have purchased from Erin Condren many times, probably too many, and I love supporting a woman-owned business! Erin Condren is the perfect place to grab a gift for everyone on your shopping list!

This post contains affiliate links. All images are courtesy of Erin Condren. 
All opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy for further details.



Gift Guide

Erin Condren is know for its Life Planners but they have many more products and gift options now. I have combed through their website to bring you my top picks for the 2018 Holiday season!

This wouldn't be an Erin Condren gift guide without including the ultimate gift - the Erin Condren Life Planner. The Life Planner comes in three different layouts: Vertical, Horizontal, or Hourly. It also comes in two color schemes: Neutral and Colorful. You can also choose from a variety of interchangeable covers. This perfect to get the planner lover in your life or a great way to introduce someone to the Erin Condren brand!


The On the Go Folio is a new product to Erin Condren. It can hold up to four PetiteJournals or Notebooks for on the go organization! You can also get these personalized, just like the Life Planners! 

The planny pack can hold all of your favorite planner accessories and must haves while traveling on the go! Is has a strap that slip over the cover of your Life Planner, it's like a fanny pack for your planner! 

This is also a new addition to Erin Condren. This would be perfect your somebody who works in an office setting , whether a home office or a more traditional away from home job, you can plan out tasks from Monday to Sunday. It is also undated, so you don't have to use this every week!



These t-shirts come in multiple colors and size and I think they would make a great gift for the planner lover in your life! They have a very simple design featuring the signature designer asterisk.

You can never have too many spare notepads and these come in so many different patterns. They can also be personalized so I think these are great addition to any gift! 

I mentioned these in my 2017 Gift Guide and I think they are still an excellent gift option. They are a little bit more on the pricey side and also come in two different size options. They have many more options this year, including the option to personalize, like many other Erin Condren products. Everyone love a soft, cozy blanket int he cold winter months, so these are perfect for anybody on your shopping list! 


That wraps up my Erin Condren 2018 Holiday Gift Guide! I hope have enjoyed my top picks for the people on your shopping list and helped give you some holiday shopping inspiration! Erin Condren typically will have a sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, so make sure you follow their Instagram to stay up to date on any coupon codes or special deals!

1) Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Translucent - This is my go-to, everyday powder.
2)  Covergirl Peacock Flare Mascara - I loved the original peacock mascara, so I figured I would try out the Flare formula. Let me know if you want a more in-depth review!
3) Rimmel InstaFlawless Skin tint foundation - This was on clearence and I have never seen it before, so I thought I would pick it up. I am running low on my current BB cream and figured I would try it out. Let me know if you want  an in-depth review on this product! i have no idea if it has been discontinued or why it was on clearance. 
4) Bodycology free&lovely body spray  - I ran out of my body spray, so I wanted to pick up another. Target doesn't have a great selection, so I decide to go with this Lavender & Amber spray by bodycology. It is free of parabens, phlatates, dyes, and animal testing. They are not listed on the leaping bunny website 

What makeup products have you bought lately?

Victoria's Secret Haul




Just an FYI but I am very busy this week for my work, so I will be lacking in the blog post department

Hi everyone! Over the weekend I had to go my local mall to return something and I wanted to go to Bath & Body Works to pick up some new Body Sprays but the store was closed for remodeling, so I didn't to go to Victoria's Secret to buy some new Body Sprays and  Body Wash. A lost of the sprays an bath washes were 5 for $30, so I went ahead and bought five different products. I got three Body Sprays in Sparkling Citrus, Midnight Exotics, and Aqua Kiss. I also got two Body Washes in Midnight Exotic and Aqua Kiss. I thought 5 for $30 for a good deal, because each product was only $6 dollars. I think if you bought only one, they were $10 dollars a piece. I highly recommend Aqua Kiss. It's a really unique scent and feel like it will be a long time favorite.

Do you prefer Bath & Body works or Victoria's Secrets scents?

Marshalls Haul

Hello loves. This weekend I did quite a bit of shopping for my apartment and I also made two trips to two different Marshalls in my area. If you don't know what Marshalls is, it is a store where you can buy discounted designer clothing, shoes, accessories, etc. I picked up three pairs of sandals and an adorable "little black dress". I also purchased a couch and a table set for my new apartment! I have 27 days until I move in and I am so excited! I still have some major purchase to make, such as a vacuum and air conditioner.

Here are my purchases from Marshalls (all items were under $30 dollars!!)

These are super comfortable and will match my new little black dress!

I like that these have a little heel, to make them more dressy.

These are just a great pair of sandals, they could go with virtually any outfit

This is almost like a body-con style but is modest because of the high neck line and length.
I also LOVE the lace detail down the center and across the chest area!

Did you pick up any new goodies this weekend?

IMATS NYC Haul 2013



On Sunday, April 7th, 2013 I attended NYC IMATS, which stands for the international makeup artist trade-show. I also did a tiny bit of shopping in NYC. It was so crazy in the stores, that it made it difficult to do some hardcore shopping for Spring and Summer clothes!
Things I bought at IMATS:
1) Stila Loves Roxy Palette 
2) Stilla Making Spirits Bright Palette 
3) Kabuki Brush, Shader Brush and Blending Brush


Things I bought in NYC:
1) Sephora Instant Moisturizer 
2) LUSH Sexy Peel Soap 

*We waited a really long time to buy the Stila items but their prices were awesome! I got two palettes for $20 dollars!
*I was really bummed because NYX was not at IMATS this year. I tried to buy some of their products last year but it was at least an hour wait to buy anything! I wasn't very thrilled with the brands at IMATS this year but you never know, maybe next year better brands will go!


Did you go to IMATS this year?

Spring Drugstore Haul

Wow, long time no post! I have been so busy these last few weeks, I haven't had time to sit down and write up a post. I managed to time a small window today to write a post up about a little shopping I did today! I am also going to NYC IMATS tomorrow, April 7th!


So, this is what I bought at Target and Walmart!

1) Rimmel BB Cream - I have heard really great things about this BB Crea, so I decided to buy it. 
2) New Rimmel 60 Second Nail Polishes - I bought four of these lovelies because they only cost  $1.50 at Walmart! I am very curious to see if they are worth it or not. They have a great color selection and for the price, you can't beat it!
3) Maybelline Baby Lips - I already own the baby lips in Quenched and I am loving it! I saw this one and though, why not? They do a great job at moisturizing your lips and they also have SPF 20!

Have you gone shopping lately??

My New Trench Coat!

Hi guys, can you believe it is already March!? That means spring is on its way! I wanted to buy a nicer coat for the spring time to wear to work, that is nicer than my North face jacket I currently have so I went and splurged on a very nice trench coat.


This is the Commuter Trench Coat by L.L. Bean. I am lucky enough to have a L.L. Bean store in one of my local malls. This coat retails for $129.00 dollars, which is a bit of a splurge but L.L.Bean coats and jackets have absolutely amazing quality and last forever! I should be able to get a good 10 years out of this jacket. I picked this jacket for several reasons. First, because of its price. You can buy many trench coats for well over one-hundred dollars. This was within my price range, so I went ahead and purchased it. Second, L.L Bean products are guaranteed for life!! Third, I think this is a very classy looking jacket without being too "over the top". I purchase this coat in a size small because my normal size, a medium, was way too big and an extra-small was too small. If you are going to purchase this jacket, I would suggest ordering a size smaller than your normal size.

This jacket comes in many different colors and if you're looking for a nice trench coat, I highly recommend this one!

Haul! Old Navy, Macys and Bath&Body Works!

Hello lovelies!
Today I went shopping with my mom and my sister and I picked up a few things at the mall.

This red sweater I bought at Macys. It is by Tommy Hilfiger. It was priced for $49.50 but it was on the 50% rack, so I got it for around $30.000 dollars. It is so pretty and warm! I cannot wait to wear it!


These two long sleeve tops I bought at Old Navy. Old Navy is having a HUGE sale in stores right now! I got both of these tops for $12.00 dollars!! I liked them because they are a little different with the color and stripes, so I thought they would be perfect for early Spring when it is still a little cold outside.


My last stop was Bath & Body Works. I bought a new body spray of my favorite scent, White Citrus. I also bought a new soap in the scent Berry Sangria for my bathroom, that I share with my two sisters. The scent is very strong and very berrylicious :) It was also on sale for $3.00 dollars.


I decided to buy five little hand sanitizers because they were also on sale for 5 for $5.00 dollars. Pretty good deal, right? I bough the scents Fresh Picked Apples, Aqua Blossom, Fresh Lavender, PAris Amor and Stress Relief. I like to carry these in my purse, keep them in my desk and my makeup storage. 
They are really handy!

I also went shopping at Target and filmed a video with my sister (will be uploaded in a few days).

Small Sephora Haul!

I placed an order with Sephora over the weekend because I received a $15 dollar coupon through an email. So, I ordered three things! I know it's almost Christmas but I wanted to treat myself :)

Benefit They're Real Mascara - $23.00
This is my all time favorite mascara and I finally splurged and bought a full size! 

Sephora by OPI nail polish in Ruby Without A Cause 
I have been wanting some new nail polish for a while now and saw this color and had to order it!
It is a dark, shimmery wine color with some duo-chrome in the light. I will definitely do a blog post when I wear ir!

Sephora Instant Moisture Kit
My skin has been terrible lately so I want to try out some new skincare products and everybody raves about Sephora's skincare line, so I bought this little sample kit (it was on sale too!). It comes with a Cleansing Foam, Instant depuffing roll-on gel and an Instant Moisturizer! I will totally do a review if I enjoy these products!

Have you bought any goodies from Sephora lately?
