July 2015 Haul

Originally, I was planning on including this with my State of the Sparkle Monthly Faves, but I thought it would be better to keep the two separate. I've been brainstorming quite a few new ideas for the Blog and this is something I've wanted to do for quite a while, now!

Remember how I mentioned that Mr. Sparkle and I are in our own place, now?

That new place means a stricter budget that I've got to stick to! I'm hoping this will let me see what I spend my extra money on in a month and hold me a little more accountable. Lately, I've been doing pretty good, but we all know that a new collection and a little bit of glitter is all it takes! Also, my polish stash list is in dire need of updating. That's like 3-4 birds with one stone!

And with that stricter budget, there are probably times I'll spot items I love and have to pass. It's likely that I'll post those here, too. Commiserate with me, please? Thanks in advance!  

Without further ado...

This Month's Purchases...

Clairol Natural Instincts Toasted Almond x2 (KMart) - $13.98 ($6.99 each)
I am planning to do a review on this when I use the second box. I'm really impressed with how well this color has held up, considering it's Demi-Permanent! I used it to tone down my highlights... O.o

Johnny Cash Sleeveless Tee (Kohl's - no longer in stock) - $12.99

IZ Byer California Pintuck Dress in Navy (Kohl's) - $29.99
I love the cut of this dress and wish it came in more colors! I didn't wear the belt that came with it, instead I added a pink belt for a little pop of color. It was a hot day and this breezy material kept me super cool!

Rainbow Honey July Mystery Bag (Online) - $12.95
Love the mini-spritzer of Pomelo. It's one of my fave scents from Rainbow Honey. I used Costa Dorada in my Gilded Galaxies Seriotype last month. Square gold glitter? What's not to love?!?

Rock & Republic Kashmiere Jean Leggings (Kohl's) - $59.99
Where do I even begin with these? The color? The zippers? How insanely soft they are? There was one pair of these on the table, and I had no idea if it would fit or not. I lucked out and they fit perfectly, so I had to pick them up. Definitely more than I usually care to spend, but they're definitely worth it. I've wanted a pair of olive pants for a really long time and these are insanely versatile!
