Victoria’s Secret Spring Haul ♡

IMG_2714

Hello my little Vintage Darlings ♡ 
As you may be starting to see through my recent posts, I’m someone who loves dressing up like a princess on her way to a lavish ball everyday. While this is absolutely true 99% of the time, I still have a love for a cozy off duty princess look. In fact a simple laid back look can sometimes become one of my favorites. I feel that you can easily make a casual look still seem totally put together and lovely.

One of my favorite places to get clothing for some of these looks is Victoria’s Secret, particularly PINK. With it being close to Valentine’s Day and Spring, they have a ton of cute pastel items out currently and I’ve already starting purchasing some! So today I’m going to do a quick little haul of what I’ve got so far.

IMG_2790The first thing I got was this delicate little velvet set. I’ve been in love with velvet for so long, so I was extremely happy when PINK got in on this trend. When I saw this set I just knew I had to have it. It’s so soft, light, and has a dainty floral print that’s perfect for the spring. The best part is I got both pieces for only $10.95!

One thing I really love from Victoria’s Secret is their pajamas, especially when it comes to their Valentine’s ones. I just adore the light colors and dainty heart prints and I love girly pajamas to feel like a princess even as I drift off to dream land!

IMG_2621These lovely pieces were in the sleep separates section. Originally I saw the shorts first and loved how delicate they looked. There’s blush pink hearts all over the white shorts and the material is so light and airy! When I was searching for a top to match these, I came across the ribbed sleep Henley and saw the absolute most gorgeous color for spring! It’s called Harbor Grey and it’s the prettiest dusty pastel green shade. It just reminds me so much of spring and makes me want to buy everything they have in this color. Another reason I really like the Henley’s is because of the dainty lace detailing around the neck of the top. It’s adds just the tiniest touch of girlyness!

A lot of the times, my princess off duty daytime looks will actually include items that are considered sleep, but that can also look fancy when paired up with everyday clothing. I actually wore the sleep Henley with a pink tulle skirt the other day and it looked absolutely darling!

IMG_2578The next two pieces I bought are also sleep separates, but from the PINK side. They’re new items for spring and they’re so soft! I just had to have this pastel tie dye sleep crew, it just looked so pretty; the color of it is even more gorgeous and pastel in person. To match I got these cute, little mint green shorts and the color on these is simply adorable!

The final thing I purchased was a mini PINK backpack. I’ve been in love with PINK’s mini backpacks for years now. They’re just the perfect size for a few essentials and I love carrying them around during the spring as a little low key bag. Of course being obsessed with velvet, I just had to go with the pink velvet one. It’s so charming and I can’t wait to use it!IMG_1677

That’s it for part one of my spring Victoria’s Secret Haul! I really want to update my wardrobe for spring and being that I have quite the addiction to Victoria’s Secret, you will be seeing more pastel and fancy spring hauls on my blog.

 

Let me know in the comments if you recently starting purchasing new items for spring and what you bought!

Fancy note: I have changed my blog address from thelavieenrosegoldblog to lavieenrosediaries. I’ve had this blog registered to my account since August of 2015 under thelavieenrosegold blog, though it mostly remained private as I was using my other blog I also had on this account (Dylan Marvil blog). My reasoning for changing it was due to receiving a lot of hate from some girl on Twitter because of my blog name claiming I copied her despite the fact that I had my blog’s name since 2015 as well as my yahoo email address and that I didn’t know of her existence until she started sending me hate. I didn’t want to have to change my blog’s name (it actually made me really sad to do that — which is why I haven’t posted the past few days), but the hate has been going on for months and it was just too rude and disrespectful. I simply couldn’t handle it anymore as it was starting to really get to me and hurt. The fact that someone was trashing me and my blog and implying I was basically copying everything from them when I literally have no idea who they are or seen anything from them just upset me greatly. I’m very big on originality and always being yourself. I would never steal another person’s ideas and claim them as mine. There’s lots of people who use lavieenrosegold, I just chose it because I love rose gold and I love to live life through rose colored glasses. It just felt like me. I didn’t want to make this change or even talk about this as I want my blog to be a positive fairytale land, but I didn’t want me or my blog to continue to get trashed or for her to keep carrying on and make people believe that I’m nothing but a copier. Like I said I made it in 2015 and I never knew who she was until the hate. I did nothing wrong.

Too Faced Chocolate Gold Review & Swatches

Hello my Vintage Darlings ♡

As you may already know from my last Too Faced review, this is absolutely one of my top favorite makeup brands! Their packaging is always lovely, glitter is their favorite, and they’re cruelty free!

When I first heard about the release of the Chocolate Gold palette, I just knew that I had to have it. Being that I’m someone who loves any type of shimmery or glittery eyeshadow, this palette seemed it would be perfect for me. It’s a mix of metallic and matte shadows with most of them being metallic. After seeing the first few photos of it that Too Faced posted, I simply fell in love with the shades and was already thinking about all the gorgeous looks I could create!

Since purchasing it two weeks ago, I’ve been using it each time I’ve done my makeup so far and it has really impressed me. My current love for this palette has inspired me to do this review so others out there can decide to give it a try as well!

First off, the packaging of this palette is gorgeous! It looks like a regular Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette was dipped in gold! It will really add a fancy touch to your makeup collection.

There’s not much else to say about the packaging, so I’m going to get right into the swatches and how I feel about the shadows!

The colors in the Chocolate Gold palette are honestly so amazing! They’re truly the best metallics I’ve ever used. First off, they’re surprisingly super pigmented. When I first got this palette, I originally swatched it on my arm without any primer. All I did was one swipe and the color payoff was crazy! Obviously I was even more amazed when I did the swatches using a primer.

Another plus for these shades is how smoothly they go on. They don’t feel chalky or chunky, they go on smooth as butter and blend amazingly well!

The only problem I came across was with two shades: Classy & Sassy and Decadent. I found that Classy & Sassy didn’t glide on as well as the other metallics and it took a few swipes to build up the color. However I found that using a glitter glue primer for this shadow solved that issue and really makes the shade pop!

As for Decadent, this shade is just a no all around for me. When swatching it I noticed not only was it very patchy, but that it also felt extremely gritty when I was putting it on. Luckily for me I don’t really ever use matte blacks, so it’s not a problem that this color didn’t work out.

Other than that, these shades truly apply nicely and blend well. My personal favorite shades are Love & Cocoa, Rich Girl, and Rollin in Dough, which is my new favorite base shade!

If I were to rate this palette, I’d give it a 9 out of 10 because I’m someone who loves a good metallic shadow.

Let me know in the comments if you guys decide to give this palette a try or if you already have!
