Payday Pretty

Lady-like slippers. Totally unnecessary but it makes me feel pretty.  They were my $20 payday splurge.

PaydayPretty- at TJ Maxx

Payday Pretty. The concept (from this blog) is to buy one thing, for about $20, each payday just to make yourself feel pretty.

This Ralph Lauren navy shirt did it for me. I love the little brown suede detail at the neck, it is cool enough for the summer, and put together enough for the office.

The idea (that came from this blog) is to take $20 on payday to buy yourself something just because it makes you feel pretty.

I have  heard so many good things about this eye shadow (like this youtube video and about 849 other ones) so I kind of had my eye on this pallet but didn't want to fork over the regular price ($38) because, although I love fresh new makeup, I certainly did not need it.  Really... does anyone need more eye shadow? I certainly do not.

However, at $14.99 it is a different story. 

Found it at TJ Maxx and snatched it up fast. I have been using it almost everyday since I got it. I love it and it is as good as they say it is.

$20 payday pretty

The concept:
Take $20 (or so...) once a payday and get something just because it makes you feel pretty. 

The results:

The goods: 

 

Formula X: My favorite nail polish. $2.

It's regularly $10.50 at Sephora, so I grabbed it fast when I saw it. there was only two bottles. Its a metallic grey/purple. I may not have bought this color at the regular price, but  I like it and have already got compliments on it.

 

 

DW Home Candles:  Can you believe I am out of end of the year stockpile of bath and body work candles?! They are one of my favorites. but I also love the DW brand. But I find their candles are kind of hit and miss.... Got a birthday cake scent (flavor?) for $7.99 and a Vanilla Bean slightly smaller for $6.99. But, so far, the birthday cake is a miss.... not my favorite. Its a very faint scent.

 

Soap:  I always buy the scented soap from TJ Maxx. They have a nice selection and you don't see the same kind/scent all the time. I got a very large bath bar in shea butter for $3.99.



Payday Pretty

This could also be accurately entitled a few more things You-Tube made me buy.

The original Payday Pretty idea, is this,  you take $20 (this week it was $30. whatever. the rules are loose) every payday and buy yourself something that makes you feel pretty.  Its kind of random for me, I don't do it every payday.

This payday pretty:

Suave deodorant: It was on sale and I wanted to give it a try.
Loreal Lift blush in rose gold (saw it recommended on Youtube)
Loreal Magic Lumi primer (Youtube again)
Rimmel 25 hour wear foundation (Youtube)
Simple brand eye makeup remover pads (recommended from my friend Kim)
