Insider: Goodwill goes GLAM!

Last November, Kelli and I were on vacation in Seattle and had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Goodwill Glitter Sale. Needless to say, it was AH-mazing. We stood in the cold weather for three hours, but it was so worth it. We found so many vintage jewels, bags, shoes, and CLOTHES! And you know how we love anything that sparkles! 

This past weekend, Bank of Hawaii sponsored Hawaii's first ever Goodwill goes GLAM! event at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall.  I am a sucker for vintage and good deals, and hoped that this would be another awesome experience. I must say that it was a good attempt at such a big undertaking, and hope that as the years progress, that the event and orgainzers just keeps getting better and better.

Some of my favorite finds this year were:

Tommy Hilfiger paisley print shorts for $7.

Ferragamo pumps for a whopping $10! score!

And two new bracelets to add to my arm swag, the rhinestone bracelet for $7 and the silver sequin cuff for $5.

I also scored some brand new vintage dresses from the 80's, complete with shoulder pads! But they are going through reconstruction so I will have to show those off later.

insider: what i'm loving right now

lala's current cravings for May:

BGC. Billionaire Girls Club. I cannot wait for more products to come out!

Miu Miu shoes at Nordstrom? The shoe department just got about 1000x better!

Lay's BLT potato chips. Can't eat just one!

YSL Golden Gloss Shimmering Lip Gloss. Put some on and instantly feel like a million bucks. Well almost, since there are 24 karat gold flecks in it!

Kate Spade watches. It's about TIME.

Cynthia Rowley collab with Band-Aid. Makes getting paper cuts that more exciting.



Insider: My Make-up Bag

I tend to keep things minimal when it comes to my make-up.  I'm a five step girl. Foundation, brows, blush, mascara and lip shine. (okay, six since I live in Hawaii and it's always sunny.  Can't forget that SPF!)

1. MAC : Studio Fix Powder + Foundation

2. MAC: Powder Blush

3. Benefit: Brows-a-go-go

4. Shu Uemura: Eye Lash Curler

5. C.O. Bigelow: Lip Shine

6. Anastasia: Brow Duality

7. Neutrogena: SPF 70

8. Maybelline: Voluminous Million Lashes

9. Hempz: Herbal Moisturizer 

I'm not a huge expert in the make-up department, but I do LOVE the products that I use.  Shu Uemura's eyelash curler is a life changer.  Anastasia has amazing brow products, last time I went to get my eye brows waxed (at Nordstrom, she's also life changing) I got sucked into purchasing $75 worth of eye brow goodies.  C.O. Bigelow has fantastic lip balm; minty, soothing, and glossssy!  MAC provides great coverage, quick and easy.  Not pictured: my bottle of Hempz moisturizer... Hempz is just amaaaazing.

Insider: my make up bag

inside Lala's makeup bag

Kelli and I thought it would be a cool segment to feature items that we use everyday but never really showcase. From time to time, we'll take a peek into our personal stashes and show our lovely Lehdoit readers what we love to use and have. 

First off, our make up bags.

I'm not the best person to ask about what's the greatest beauty products out there. I'm pretty clueless in this department and usually skim over the beauty and hair sections in my fashion magazines. It just doesn't get me as excited as shoes and clothes do. I used to just use whatever my mom suggested until my dermatologist said that certain brands were making me break out more. 

So luckily, I stumbled upon Chanel and am sold. :)

1. Michael Kors for Estee Lauder make up bag

2. Toki Doki kabuki and blush brush

3. Dior primer and blackout mascara

4. Chanel eyelash curler

5. Sephora powder brush

6. Chanel blush in Orchid Rose

7. Mac eye shadow 

8. Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua creme

9. Burt's Bees lip balm

10. Shu Uemura liquid eye liner

11. Clinique bronzer

12. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy

13. Noevir Moisturizer

14. Chanel natural powder compact

15. Chanel eye creme

and voila!
