Aside from working my life away, I shop my life away. I got pretty things over the past few days, effectively breaking my "No Spend July" pledge. It was inevitable, I suppose. Shopping is one guilty pleasure I will never give up. The haul begins with going out for steam buns and tea in Portland. I went with my best friend, Allegra, and a few other friends. One friend had brought the new Thirty Seconds To Mars CD and I died, not knowing how I ever lived my life without such a beautiful thing. I am a huge fan of concept albums, a recent discovery on my part upon the release of Emilie Autumn's Fight Like A Girl. The tea shop we frequent has a Bullmoose in the basement of the building (basically an independently owned chain of record stores, for those unfamiliar with the brand.) I sought out the TSTM CD and found the price to be reasonable enough, so I purchased it, along with a copy of Depeche Mode's The Best of Vol. 1.
Now I'm on a CD kick. My Volvo barely supports them in it's player, save for my Best of Bowie and even then it rarely likes to actually read the disc, and here I am buying CD after CD. Today I picked up two Placebo albums, Meds and Once More With Feeling. I also realized I prefer "best of"s to the actual source albums, particularly because it gives me a lovely mix of my favourite songs over a period of time. We'll see if this CD obsession dies down.
Next obsession: LUSH stuff.
Today's haul includes Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter, Imperialis Facial Moisturizer, Tea Tree Water Toner Water, The Guv'ner Deodorant Powder, and the new Beach Box Giftset.
It totally does not help matters that I work there and I get a gorgeous discount, but I drop $50+ every single time I work. And I love everything I get. Granted, most of it is restock, but I do pick up new things, since I love doing reviews on Facebook (which will soon be transferred/continued here!) My first exciting LUSH thing on here will be a reveal/review of what's in that lovely Beach Box! After demoing it on costumers all afternoon, it only makes me more and more giddy to work it's products into my daily regimen.

Shopping aside, I am sad I didn't get to do a Fourth of July outfit post or one for the day after. My clothes were cute and I was just too lazy to take pictures! Rawr.
Anywhosywhatsit. I worked Target and LUSH today, so here's my cute uniform for the latter:

We've got a borrowed Peter Pan Collar Dress (Hot Topic), tights (Rite Aid), and JellyPop Mary Janes (DSW Shoes).
And for the first time: Make-up! Excuse my derpy face, as this was taken after my shift at LUSH. I've got Naked Foundation in 0.5, Sin Primer Potion, Zeypher+Blackout Eyeshadows, and Big Fatty Mascara, all from Urban Decay, with Orgasm Blush from NARS. I also used a spritz of DeSlick Setting Spray from Urban Decay. Lips were done at LUSH with the Bubblegum Sugar Scrub and Honey Trap lip balm tag team.
Aside from that lovely Beach Box review, I do have a review of the Tangle Teezer, a long raved about product I was given as a gift!
I hope you are ready~
