I've been doing a lot of hauls lately, from makeup to skincare to jewelry, in stores and online. I've done more hauls, but there are just too many pictures to post, so here are just a few, which will be used for some giveaways I will be hosting in Instagram, be sure to stay tuned to my account @sweetgemsociety for when that goes live and what items will be given.

Big Walmart and dd's haul with an acrylic organizer, makeup, jewelry and skincare. Some of which will be in the future giveaways.

Purchase with many samples from Sephora.

Some more items from Sephora.

Big haul from Miss A, some for me, some for my mother, some for gifts and some for the giveaway.

Some great deals at one of my jobs, couldn't beat it anywhere else.

Some more.

Some looks I've created!

I was tired of the blonde and one of my employers doesn't allow blue hair, so I went for the next best thing...gray hair. To showcase it more, I went for blue accessories including my makeup and I have to say, it's been my best so far.

Bongo skinny jeans from Sears, tank top underneath from Forever 21, black lace top was a gift and blue sandals from Rainbow.

Earrings from Walmart, necklace from Miss A as well as the pearl bracelets, watch from Amazon and blue gemstone bracelet from DD's Discount.

I was in process.

It did not come out as I wanted, since I wanted a whole even color, but it wasn't that bad. I've been told I need to get my hair white in order to pick up the gray color, I don't know how that is going to happen, but I will keep trying. To tie this loom together, I paired it with blue jewelry, my Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in requiem and my Morphe Brushes Jaclyn Hill palette with a blue color on lower lash line.

I had a day off and was going to see my grandparents who were in the country visiting. I wanted to try something different with my hair, I had seen crowns on a high bun and I had a peacock hairpiece my husband had given me a while back, but I had never worn. This was my moment and it worked out perfectly, with an all jean look and new makeup look.

  Jean shirt from Target, Bongo jeans from Sears as well as the booties and handbag from dd's discount.

 

  Peacock crown was part of a set that included necklace and earrings from Wish, earrings were a gift from Colombia, pearl necklaces from Miss A and if you can see the Swarovski and pearl bracelet from Burlington Coat Factory.

 

  The new makeup look was doing simple and natural eyeshadow with a winged liner and a red lip, but the one thing that made the biggest difference to my complexion was adding Tarte Radiance Drops, my skin has never looked so smooth and amazing. Sadly I only have a sample size I got with Sephora points. I'm going to have to do some saving to get the full size, for now it has only been used for special occasions, though all I do is work these days.

I had written on this post, but for some reason nothing uploaded with it, so here I am again. This was for valentine's day this past year and I had the day off. These pants were actually indeed of loose when I first got them, I was in my super skinny days then and knew I was going to eventually gain a healthy weight back, now they actually fit a little snug, but still perfect.

Peplum was a gift, wine colored skinny pants are from Cotton on and sandals from Rainbow.

Earrings from Valsan, necklace from Miss A, new tennis bracelet from my husband he got from the antique show at the fair expo, since he works there.

I went to get a gel manicure since I had a Groupon that expired this day, I had been so busy working, I hadn't had a a chance.

Eyeshadow was Huda Beauty obsessions palette in mauve and lips were Tarte Cosmetics Tartiest quick dry matte lip paint in cheerleader.

Here I am still trying to catch up with my posts, this was in February after I had gotten some lab work done, which is why I have the band-aid, so pretty simple day for me. This was also after getting my hair toned to remove the yellow from the bleach, much better now.

Floral top from Rainbow, Bongo skinny jeans from Sears and sandals also from Rainbow.

Earrings from Payless, long pearl necklace from Miss A as well as the pearl bracelets, stainless steel bracelet was a gift, Amazon watch and my new sterling silver tennis bracelet my husband gave me before Valentine's Day from an antique show event in The Fair Expo.

My pink makeup look to go with the outfit. Huda Beauty obsessions palette in mauve for the eyeshadow, Anastasia Beverly Hills brows, Maybelline The Falsies push up drama mascara and Tarte Tartiest quick dry matte lip paint in bounce.

I wanted to use the silver eyeshadow and recreate the look I did for New Year's Eve, but now since I had more experience and practice, it would turn out better and it did. To continue with the silver and glitter theme, I put on my silver glam earrings and statement necklace as well as my new silver bow belt.

Merona shirt from Target, high waisted fabric shorts were a gift, earrings from Miss A, belt, sandals and necklace from Rainbow.

Excuse the mess, I was in the process of very early spring cleaning and major organizing.

I used a few new products here since that look, but still using the Huda Beauty obsessions palette in smokey, primer, setting powder and highlighter from Miss A, foundation Revlon Colorstay in shade 320, Kat Von D Lock It concealer in medium 19 cool, brows are Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade in taupe, lashes were

I'm posting still trying to catch up to my current outfits, but I as you know I stopped for a few months, since all I did was work. This look was for the beginning of 2018 and it started off with a cold front in Miami, which I was loving, since it was an all day one and I was able to brush off the dust from my winter clothes.

Skinny jeans Bongo from JCPenney, thermal shirt from Rainbow, poncho from Old Navy and boots from Sears.

Pearls was a wedding gift from my mother in law and headpiece from Miss A. I was wearing my new Huda Beauty obsessions palette in mauve, Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade in taupe and Tartiest quick dry matte lip stain from Tarte.

And as a new year, my husband and I got couples tattoos. I had been wanting one for a while now, just didn't know what I wanted, so when I finally found it, we did it and loved it. This is my second tattoo, my first was "Liebe dich selbst" which is love yourself on my wrist.

I've been really loving this new app called snow, a lot of pretty cool filters and I had to take one with my husband during this cold front.

It was new years eve and it took me three dresses to try on in my closet to finally find what I was going to wear. Both my husband and I worked this day at Publix, so it was a long and hard day, which we barely made into the night. I had just bought some goodies at Sephora and this would be the perfect night to try many of them.

Dress from Ross, belted bow from Rainbow, booties from Sears, earrings from Miss A and bracelet from Burlington Coat Factory.

My husband and I arriving at the in laws place.

i created this look with the Huda Beauty obsessions palette in smokey, Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade in taupe for the brows and Tarte Cosmetics tartiest lip paint in bounce.

My nexgen Christmas nails that lasted well into the new year.

It was late, lighting wasn't too great, but we still wanted to take a celebratory picture with one of the new years snapchat filters just before heading home to crash.
