Hello friends! Today I have an Outfit of the day post for you!! :) I wore this outfit because it was finally warm enough to wear shorts! I love to pull inspiration from fashion blogs, youtube channels, and pictures of people I admire. I decided to create an outfit based on Kylie Jenner's because recently I have been stalking her Tumblr due to so many of our viewers loving her looks. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and create a video/post showing you how to essentially get the look for less. You guys should know by now I have a strong OBSESSION when it comes to thrifting! I used all items that I already had in my closet from some of my favorite stores
and of course the thrift store!
These are some of the outfits I drew inspiration from, had to add Chloe Kardashian in because she is my favorite of the bunch and she is just so sweet. This outfit is very laid back and casual get it incorporates some on trend items and timeless pieces.
Black T-shirt- Thrift store $2
Checkered Flannel- Thrift store $2
Distressed Shorts- Rue 21 $5
Cut Out Boots- Rue 21 $7.99
Necklaces (three)- Kmart 12.99 & $9.99 Adam Levine Clothing Line!
Chain Ring- H&M $3
Anchor Ring- H&M $6
Bow Ring- Charming Charlie $3
Infinity Ring- Promise ring from my <3

Hello! Welcome back to our blog. If you are a follower then you may know that we have been slacking on our blog posts recently. We have been focused on our YouTube channel but we are back at it today with a very fun blog- our NYC IMATS HAUL AND GIVEAWAY!
We spent last weekend in New York city with our boyfriends and spent Saturday at IMATS. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, IMATS stands for the International Makeup Artist Trade Show. We got to check out a lot of different brands and get them for discounted prices. We also got to meet a bunch of amazing ladies who also have YouTube channels. Oh and one other thing, JESSICA GOT ENGAGED! Rob proposed to her in Central park and I got it on video! If you want to check out our NYC | IMATS 2014 & PROPOSAL!!!
or our NYC | Outfits of the Day! you can check them out on our YouTube channel! If you want to see what we bought and see the links to those products then read on. If you want to check out our IMATS Haul and Giveaway then click here.
I picked up a very pretty lip tar that admittedly is a little out of my comfort zone but I absolutely love it. It is so pretty and I'm so excited to create some looks with this.
This red color is SO RED. Like I don't know how to say it any other way. I have never tried a lip stain so I didn't expect it to be this bright and heavy but I love it! These were $10 each at IMATS but they run for about $18 normally.
This amazing palette was only $15 but they retail for about $20. Jessica actually bought two of these, one for her and one for Rob's sister Katie. Look how gorgeous these colors are! :)
We both bought one of these amazing palettes. I used mine and it worked perfecting for highlighting and contouring. We got these for $13 but they retail for $18. So worth it. Look at how big it is! We have heard great things about Morphe and now we can agree!
STILA
Stay All Day Liquid Liner!
This is so pretty and I can't wait to start wearing it for spring. I got this for $13 but it is originally around $20. It is Turquoise and so blue! I love it!
We both bought a big variety of lashes to try out. Jessica did my eyelashes for IMATS and I absolutely loved them. She just used some random lashes I had but I loved the way they looked and the way they made my eyes pop. I will definitely be wearing fake lashes more often.
SIGMA
SIGMAX KABUKI KIT!
I finally bought the kit I have been wanting for forever. Jessica and I love Sigma and are happy to be affiliates with their company. They were so generous and gave out so many great samples. Plus I got this set for 30% off at IMATS. This set includes-
F80 - Flat Kabuki™: Application of liquid or cream products to flat areas of the face such as the forehead and cheeks.
F82 - Round Kabuki™: Blend mineral products onto the skin.
F84 - Angled Kabuki™: Buff cream blush or bronzer onto the skin.
F86 - Tapered Kabuki™: Apply cream and liquid foundations onto the harder to reach contours of the face.
F88 - Flat Angled Kabuki™: Blends foundation easily onto hard to reach areas of the face. Angle fits all areas of the face seamlessly. Works especially well on cheekbones and contours of the nose.
We have a discount code for you if you would like to purchase from SIGMA. It is SPRING2014
I absolutely love this set and can't wait to purchase more brushes!
Performance Eyes Kit!
This is the set Jessica had her eye on and she ended up picking it up at IMATS. This set comes with eight brushes and includes-
the E11 - Eye Liner™:Use with gel or cream liner to create detailed and artistic effects.
E16 - Tightline Liner™: Press gel, cream or liquid products onto the upper lash line. Fill in the space between lashes.
E17 - Waterline Liner™: Apply cream or gel liners onto the lower waterline.
E21 - Smudge™: Precise application and smudging of color onto the upper and lower lash lines.
E36 - Blending™: Precise blending of powder products onto small areas of the eye.
E46 - Shader - Inner Corner™: Apply highlight shades onto the inner corner of the eye.
E47 - Shader - Crease™: Application of deep shades onto the crease.
E56 - Shader - Lid™: Controlled application of color onto precise areas of the lid.
I decided to get some lipsticks from a company that I had never heard of. Tat2U has some very bright and fun colors! This one is called Poison-berry. It is a lot darker in the tube than it is when you apply it. It almost looks purple in the packaging but goes on like a pretty red.
Here is a swatch of the lovely color. The first swatch is one of the glosses I purchased from Tat2U. Check out Poison-berry here!
I also got another red color! This one to the left is the Stiletto lipstick.
While we were waiting in the Sigma Line we met an amazing girl who we ended up hanging out with the whole day. Her mom worked for Eye Kandy so we decided to check out the booth. We ended up getting three colors from their glitter collection. Toffee, Twizzle Stick, and confetti. It was $30 for three glitters, the liquid sugar, and a brush! I see tutorials in our future!
Check out our friend Corrina's YouTube channel. She just uploaded her first video! We are so glad we met her at IMATS and will be doing collabs with her in the future so go check our her channel and subscribe! <3
FRENDS Beauty
Jessica bought some beauty blenders. Neither of us have ever owned the original beauty blender, we have always used the off-brand ones. I am excited for her to try them out so she can let me know if they are worth splurging on!
Jessica picked up the Dual Salmon concealer because she has been having problems with dark under-eyes due to working so much. She got this salmon toned concealer for around $19.
OKAY! WHAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. WE ARE DOING A SPRING/SUMMER THEMED GIVEAWAY WHICH INCLUDED PRODUCTS FROM IMATS AND ULTA. TO ENTER THIS GIVEAWAY WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR THE RULES AND TO SEE THE PRIZES!
Hey! I finally have some down-time so I can get some blogs done. This is a quick blog and it goes along with Friday's video! It will include all of the links to the items we hauled and also the story and pictures behind the SHIT STORM. I think our faces tell most of the story but nevertheless, enjoy my adventures in babysitting. Not that I did.
I have been watching Reagan since she was six weeks old and have babysat for numerous families in the past but this was by far the worst experience I have had so far. Basically, while Jessica and I were filming our haul, Reagan was supposed to be napping. However, she woke up and when we went to go check on her- this happened ------> If you read my last nanny diary then you know that Reagan is currently being potty trained. She had a pull up on and took it upon herself to take it off and spread her poop all over EVERYTHING. I had to use a lot of cleaner and Jessica had to bathe her but we got it all cleaned up pretty fast. I guess looking back it was funny, but definitely not at the time. Now lets get to the good stuff, shopping!!
Here is our Haul with live footage from the shit storm. Includes bloopers and such :) Enjoy! Or you can watch it here.Includes stores like Target, Ulta, Apple, Mac, and more!
Links for the items that are available to purchase online!
Our sister Amy is getting married in October so yesterday we went shopping to pick out our dresses. The dress above is the one we settled on. However, it will be in the color champagne. We tried on a few but ultimately decided on the first one we liked. This one is around $140 from David's Bridal. We will be wearing it with cowboy boots! We plan on doing a lot more wedding related videos in our wedding series on YouTube. Like DIY's, vlogs, and more! We posted our dress shopping trip yesterday! Watch it here.
Lots of recipe and OOTD blogs planned or this week so make sure you are following! :)

Hey ladies! I hope 2014 has started off well for all of you! I trust you are all keeping up with your new year's resolutions ;) One of mine this year is to go through my clothes and decide what I like and don't like. I know this will help me "manage" the clutter that is my closet. The only problem? I am addicted to shopping. I love finding new styles and making new outfits. Thankfully, I have learned a few thing over the years about getting the most for my money. I love thrifting and have done a few thrift hauls on our YouTube channel. Even though, I find thrifting budget friendly and fun I do love the feeling of getting brand new clothes that are currently on trend. The way I accomplish this... online shopping!! I don't always have to purchase items, but looking at different sites helps me determine the kind of clothing I would like to add to my wardrobe. There are a bunch of sites out there including Daily Look, Hautlook, Romwe, and more. Then I thought hmm, why can't there be a website that has cute affordable clothes that I can actually purchase?! Now I love Rue21.com and other clothing stores that sell their products online but I just recently found one that I can only access online and not in store. I stumbled upon Persunmall.com on none other than the website Stumpleupon. I was drawn in by their adorable clothing and spent almost an hour on the website browsing. This lead me to having 10 items in my cart. I emailed Jessica the links and she found some stuff she loved as well. As I said, I am trying to downsize and can't afford to buy ALL of the things in my cart. This is where you come in! I need your help! I need your opinions on the clothes! I have chose some items that Jessica and I both love and would love for you to comment what your two favorites are! This may also inspire you to incoorperate styles like these into your wardobe.
I'm a huge sucker for anything with a cat on it. Totally Miley, I know but at least these ones aren't floating in outer-space. If you watched our January Q&A on YouTube then you might know that Jessica has six cats. So naturally we both like the cat sweaters! These two we both like because, why wouldn't we? Which cat sweater do you like better? Collared Kitten or Bow-tie Kitten. Yes, I named them.
This adorable red sweater with zipper detailing would fit perfectly into my wardrobe. I can see myself wearing this with leggings and some cute black booties. This is my number one pick of the clothes in my cart! It also comes in beige and back. I like those too. Ahhh! Inner turmoil.
Jessica and I both love this gray oversized sweater with the detailed back. I am obsessed with this color pattern and have several tops with this pattern. I know, I know. I probably don't need another but come on, look how cute it is!!! I love slouchy sweaters especially during the Winter here in Michigan. The second top reminds me of one that I saw at American Eagle a few months back. I saw it on a mannequin and instantly said "Yep, I'm buying it!" before looking at the tag and saying "It's not that cute!" I could not afford $65 for one top, no way. This one is only $21.99! A top contender, this baby is staying in my cart. Which one do you like better?
BEEEEEEEEE DOOOOO! You guys know I am IN LOVE with my minions. They have the cutest phone cases on their website. I am so mad that I have the 5C because they don't make cases for them anywhere really :( I wish I could get one of these but it wouldn't fit my phone! I thought I would share them with you because they are so adorable! If you guys know of anywhere I can get cute iPhone 5C cases, let me know please! <3
Two more sweater options! These ones are a little more out of my comfort zone. They are patterns I find interesting and would love to have in my closet. I have a tunic that has striped sleeves like the one on the left, but it doesn't fit me correctly. That is why when I saw this one I thought it might be something I should pick up! The red star sweater was one Jessica and I both liked. I love big sweaters of course but this one is unlike any other sweater I own. It is such a basic design but it is so cute! I can see myself wearing a colored flannel under this to make it a little more modern. Which is your favorite?
The last few things I know I don't necessarily need, but I really like them! The dress I found so adorable because I have nothing like it. These boxy dresses kind of hide your shape but for some reason I find them so interesting. I love the zippered "pocket" and the color blocked sleeves. Maybe the dress I wear to IMATS in April? Hmm, I don't know! That is why I need your help! They have so many cute dresses under $20 and I can't help but want them all! :( The jewelry and other accessories on Pursunmall.com are so affortable I couldn't help but pick some out. The necklace is $6 and the scarf is $19.99.
I'm so excited about finding this online store because RoseWholesale.com is one that I love but do not fit into their "one size fits all" items. If you ladies want to check out Persun Mall you can click here. They have tons of cute stuff and you can take a closer look at the items on mine and Jessica's wishlist list. Right now they are giving a free gift with every purchase and free worldwide shipping on orders of $65. We got $5 in credits just for liking them on Facebook! So make sure to do that so you can get some money off!! Please remember to leave some comments down below and let me know what ones you like the best!!! You can tweet us your pics if you decide to buy anything at @brynnlynnbeauty or which ones you like the best so we can see!
