a hangout and a [sephora] haul.

this past weekend, jackie was in town, so we met up for lunch and shopping. (we also met up here and here). she's currently taking a break from blogging to focus on school, but you can still check out some of her awesome looks on fashionation street.

rocking the aviators.

jackie's wearing the real deal, ray-bans.

i got mine from amazon (thanks to julie for sharing the link!).

i've had a bunch of sephora gifts cards for a while now and always left empty-handed because the store is overwhelming! this time i actually needed things, so it was easier to narrow down the choices. i needed an everyday powder, so i bought laura mercier's foundation powder at their recommendation. so far i'm loving it.

a new gel eyeliner was on my list, so i decided to try sephora's pitch black all-in-one liner.

i think i'm the last person to try these sugar kisses.

i finally bought one, and they surprised me with

the mini duo set for my free birthday gift.

(sephora now has a mino trio, just in time for mother's day.)

a hangout is never complete without food and drinks...

coffee jelly au lait with soy milk and yummy appetizers.

what do you splurge on at sephora?
