It has been three months since I have had the opportunity to have a shopping day, which is three months too long. Finally I am making it out of the house to do a “Fall shopping haul 2017” and I am getting some long-awaited products on my list. A big part of this trip is about finding some professional clothing, since I am in that season of life. Of course, I still am picking up plenty of fun fashion, accessories, makeup, and more, because I cannot go without doing so! I think this haul contains plenty of items and helpful tips that you will definitely want to add to your wishlist and to make note of. Without further ado, we shall jump into this shopping haul from my favorite stores.

Ross Dress for Less

I am starting my Fall shopping haul 2017 with a bunch of jeans (and pants) from Ross. I prefer to buy a lot of my jeans from Ross because they carry high-quality jeans at prices that cannot be beat. The prices are typically between $11.99 – $15 for pants and jeans at Ross. I highly recommend that next time you are out shopping and find yourself eyeing up a $40 pair of good jeans that you put them back on the rack and wait to visit Ross. Besides that, all of Ross’s clothing is of great quality and at low prices. It always shocks me that they have so many trendy pieces for the season! I love grabbing shirts for $10 or less!

Jeans and Pants

365 Denim Jeans

The wash of these jeans and the color that the wash provides is so unique, I just need to get them.

VIP Denim Jeans

I really like jeans with destructed elements, and I try to own jeans with a variety of rips. These rips are very tame, and I do not have any lightly destructed jeans such as these.

Encore Denim Jeans

I am attracted to these very dark washed jeans that come pre-cuffed. I am really digging cuffed jeans paired with booties. Also, I tend to cuff my jeans anyway because I am a short lady.

Chocolate U.S.A. Olive Pants

I am drawn to these pants because they totally look like professional pants when you cover up the gold details. In addition, olive is totally on trend. These olive pants are much darker than the ones I already own. The gold details are to die for.

Charmed by Eve professional jacket

This blazer jacket is such a score! It has padded shoulders, but the rest of the jacket is very loose and not as structured, which will make it ultra comfortable. I appreciate how it is a bit longer in the front. The 3/4 sleeves have a slight rouche detail.

Love J gold studded crop top

This top is my absolute favorite piece of this shopping trip! The style is so Gaga-esque to me, being as that I am a huge Lady Gaga fan. Here we have a white crop top that is covered in round, gold studs. It features a zipper on the back for dressing ease. This clearance rack find as a slight red stain that resembles lipstick, but that is easy to clean. I am going to pair this shirt with the olive pants featured above because it’s cropped nature will show off the gold details on the pants which are too cute to cover up.

Meraki gray polka dot choker neck blouse

This blouse is a great professional find! It features choker neck that enables me to keep my signature style while still looking business ready. The cute 3/4 sleeves have a ruffled detail. On the back there is a slit that comes together with a button. I like the slight high-low detail. I find shirts cut in that manner to be more flattering.

Sweet Wanderer zipper pocket top

This shirt is an excellent piece that can be dressed up or down. It is a tad bit sheer polyester material that is ever so slightly high-low cut. I love the gold accents to the moon and back. This top will look great with the No Boundaries medium wash jeans coming up later and some booties as a transitional outfit.

Alyssa handbag

Here is a unique handbag due to the eight gold o-rings on the bottom of the bag (four on the front and four in the back). It features a turn-lock closure, carrying strap, and large gold o-ring that can also be used for carrying. I will pair it with the gold studded crop top and olive pants from above.

Ecotools Limited Edition Anniversary Collection

I am all about name-brand beauty steals at Ross. This Ecotools 10-year anniversary costs $9.99. I imagine that it retails for $20 at other stores. Ecotools brushes are excellent quality with ultra soft bristles. I will discuss the tube and brushes from top down.   The rose gold recycled aluminum storage tube fits the brushes perfectly! I was afraid that the largest brush would get smushed in the lid, but everything fits great.   The first brush is the Airbrushed Finishing brush. It will be great for all-over setting powder application.   The next brush is the Controlled Setting brush, which is a small highlighting brush! I think it is highly important to have a variety of highlighting brushes in your collection. This one is the smallest style that I own. I also have e.l.f.’s highlighting brush, which is similar in shape but larger, and I have a few fan brushes. I see beauty guru’s using these various types all the time, and I am so excited to try this one.   The Angled Crease brush is meant for applying eyeshadow to your crease. This is an interesting concept to me, and one that I need to try out.   Next is the Spoolie, which is used for brushing out your eyebrows and for distributing product after applying eyebrow powders and creams. I use one every time I do my makeup, but I really do not need another one.   The Eye/lip Blur brush is for blurring out lip liner or eyeshadow, especially around your waterline.

The last brush is the Eyeliner brush, designed to apply cream and powder eyeliners.

No Boundaries

Galaxy Leggings

Continuing with my Fall shopping haul 2017 I have some clothing from Walmart. I finally have a pair of galaxy leggings that fit me correctly! My other pair I settled for in an incorrect size because I was so impatient with wanting to create my outfit of the day. Now I can replace that pair with this new pair.

Silky Choker Neck Tees

I am buying these two tees for professional wear because they are silky. They have a choker neck and rouching down the sides.

White Destructed Tee

I am buying this destructed white tee with holes because it reminds me of Lady Gaga. Has anyone seen her Five Foot Two documentary?! It is so good, and she wears a lot of white tees (both destructed and non-destructed) with black jeans. I totally want to do that look. This shirt surprisingly has weight to it and features a slight high-low cut. I like the cuffed sleeves.

Medium Wash Skinny Jeans

Here are some clearanced medium wash skinny jeans for $5! The wash is a little bit different for my collection, and pairs great with the red shirt from my Ross trip.

Faded Glory

Tie Sleeve Sweater

I think this os the perfect professional sweater. I love burgundy. The sleeves get a bit wider as they reach the end, and have a slit that is tied shut with a large, silver grommet and a strip of the sweater fabric. It also comes in black, which I may purchase.

Wine V-neck Tee

I love my comfy around the house tees just as much as I love my fashion. This is a clearanced v-neck tee in a color that I buy way too much of.

Accessories

Gold & Silver Chainmail Chokers

My choker collection continues to grow with these two chainmail chokers, which remind me a lot of the coin necklace trend.

Gold leaf tiered necklace

This necklace is glam to me with the gold and leaf accents.

Silver mirror bead knot necklace

Here is a unique piece. The beading is silver and reflective, and I like how the strands are knotted around the faux-leather bands.

Halloween rose gold cat ears headband

This is technically a Halloween headband, but I have a different purpose in mind. I am going to use it to hold my hair back when I do my makeup. The cat ears are so cute and I love the rose gold glitter. My current makeup headband is a bit small for me and I risk snapping it in half on my head.

Five Below

Beauty Treats Roses Eyeshadow Palette

Moving on in my Fall shopping haul 2017 are some finds from Five Below. I have a Beauty Treats blush and contour palette, and each have extreme pigmentation that lasts all day. A light dip of the brush in the product is all that you need. Because of that and the reviews that I have watched of other Beauty Treats eyeshadows, I figured I will give this Roses palette a try. The eyeshadows themselves feel pretty standard, nothing too buttery about them. Unfortunately, the pigmentation so-so. The third shade in the top row is a complete dud- I cannot get any color from it. I also have trouble with the first shade in the second row. I need to apply this palette to my eyes with brushes before I make the call to pass it on, but the colors are pretty!

wet n wild megalast Hard as Ice Topcoat

Hard as Ice is a repeat purchase for me. My bottle is running extremely low so I decided to grab it while I was there. I cannot say enough good things about this topcoat. It really does increase the staying time of your manicure with high shine. I totally need to do an updated nail care routine/manicure post where I will detail this product.

Pretty Nails Non-Acetone Instant Polish Remover

Something I want to try is a nail polish remover pot, and this $3 version from Pretty Nails has me curious. The formula is non-acetone, which is gentler on the nails and can be used on artificial nails. It claims to have conditioners in the formula. There is one big hole in the middle where you insert your nails. I know other brands tend to have five slots cut in the sponge for your fingers. I have used this once and it works SO well! I insert two fingers at a time and use an up and down motion while making sure my nails are rubbing the sponge. It removes 10 fingers of polish in minutes, rather effortlessly. This is so much faster than using cotton balls and scrubbing! I recommend this product. It even includes a toenail dobber. The sponge is very saturated.

Room 2 Room Marquee Lightbox

Lightboxes are really trendy in home decor right now. $5 is the cheapest I have ever seen one of these, so I am getting it. It includes 100 letters, numbers, and emojis. It feels a little flimsy but works great and is nice and bright. The only really cheap thing about it is that the letters and numbers are stickers that are applied to a clear rectangle. The stickers try to peel up when I put the numbers on the lightbox. Definitely be careful with them.

Room 2 Room Pineapple Throw Pillow

If I ever walk out of Five Below without a pillow it will be a miracle. You know me, I have a pineapple obsession and this cute little pillow is great for my life.

Dollar Tree

wet n wild wildshine Nail Color in Grape Minds Think Alike

Next up in my Fall shopping haul 2017 are some major Dollar Tree scores! I have not seen this color of wildshine at the DT yet, nor do I have it in my collection, so I am snatching it up.

Global Beauty Care

Collagen Face Masks

These collagen face masks are new to me. You get two masks per package. Collagen is supposed to firm and tone the skin.

Charcoal Cleansing Nose Strips

I am so happy to find these cleansing nose strips because they are on my wishlist! You get three nose strips per pack. I have used a variety of strips but I feel as though I never see results with them. I already used a strip and gunk is stuck on them after use. Maybe it is just in my mind, but I think my nose pores are cleaner now.

Luminesscence Mirror Candle Holder

If you keep an eye out for these candle mirrors then you may know that they are hard to find. I finally have one! My intention is to use it as a foundation mixing palette. It will be easy to clean and the mirror adds some glamor.

Magnets

Yay, I have two magnets from my wishlist! These are kinda canvas-like. I love my flamingos and pineapples.

Target

Lash Princess mascara

As part of my Fall shopping haul 2017 I am grabbing items from Target that are not available locally to me. There are no stores in my city that carry essence makeup, so I want to grab some popular items to try. I have heard so many good things about Lash Princess that I have to try it. Also, why not try essence stuff since they are so cheaply priced!

Say NO to Redness in Pastel Green

I have a thing about testing out different redness color correctors. Say NO to Redness is very pastel, which reminds me of the one in the Maybelline master camo palette that I like. It is creamy and blends easily with my finger.

Eyebrow Designer in Brown

As if I need another basic eyebrow pencil. In fact, Eyebrow Designer is very similar to the Jordana Fabubrow pencil that I have. I saw the price and just have to try it.

e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Sheer Tint Finishing Powder

I am taken aback by the size of the e.l.f selection at Target, which is the largest in-store selection that I have seen. I need to grab something that is normally only available online to me. This Sheer Tint Finishing Powder leaves me feeling like it will be blurring on the skin. While I am swatching it, it is hard to see a face powder.

Pixi + itsjudytime ItsLipTime Lip Color Palette

While shopping the itsjudytime display my intention was to purchase the eyeshadow palette, but I did not read the packaging and accidentally bought this lip color palette instead! I am so upset, especially because it is $24 and is already a splurge for me. Lip color palettes are not my cup of tea in terms of portability, pigment, and amount of product. I am going to keep this palette, and I am doing some swatches. The color payoff is so-so, but they may work better when applied with a brush. Oddly, this palette comes with a detached mirror that you are supposed to stick onto the package yourself.

Ulta

Urban Decay Naked Heat palette

I am a collector of the Naked palettes, and the selection of reds in Naked Heat really speak to me. This palette is definitely filling a void in my collection. As always, the eyeshadows are highly pigmented and buttery.

essence Make Me Brow in 03 Soft Browny Brows

Beauty gurus love Make Me Brow and say that it is a dupe for Benefit’s Gimme Brow. I want to try it out, but this shade is completely wrong for me. Both Target and Ulta have no colors darker than this one in store. How is Soft Browny Brows even remotely brown?! It comes off blonde to me. I will probably have to pass it on.

Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer

The final item in my Fall shopping haul 2017 is Butter Bronzer by Physicians Formula. It is highly coveted by beauty guru’s, and I am so glad that I am finally trying it! Luckily I have a 15% off coupon with Ulta to make this purchase more manageable. The bronzer swatches lightly on my skin, but it looks gorgeous when applied the face. Talk about a buttery smooth formula that is not muddy or orange! It also has a strong murumuru butter scent. My constant Physicians Formula complaint is the bulky size of the packaging which makes their compacts nearly impossible to store.

Those are all of the items in my Fall shopping haul for 2017. What do you think of my haul? Will you be adding any of these items to your wishlist? I am very pleased with my finds and I am excited to try lots of stuff out and create outfits. Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
