I'm Still Here!
Hello everyone!
First of all I just wanted to say thank you for all of you who still follow my blog even through the hiatus. I know I've been neglecting my duties as a blogger and I'm sorry :(. I've been so busy lately with finals, graduating and transferring to a new school that I haven't had much time to blog. I miss the blogging community! Hopefully within the next few weeks I can start Just a Girl again and hopefully connect with all of you! I want to start blogging about my daily life as well as beauty related posts and I want to know what is going on in your life too! If you have any requests about what I should start posting about feel free to let me know! I can't wait to get back! Thank you for being super duper patient with me!

MyGlam!
Today, when I went to get the mail I wasn't expecting anything other than ads and bills, but can you imagine my surprise when I got my very first MyGlam bag?? I received a shipping code in my email, but it said the projected delivery date would be on the 22nd so I wasn't expecting anything till then.
I cancelled my Birchbox subscription in January because I just wasn't happy with what I was receiving and I also got an email from MyGlam letting me know they had more bags in stock. I am super happy with this months bag and I think I will like it way more than Birchbox.
In this months bag I got:
1. X Out Shine Control
"Stay flawless and shine free with this oil-free moisturizer with a mattifying complex."
2. NYX Roll On Shimmer in Almond
"NYX's brand new, intensely rich, shimmering powder that can be applied to the eyes, face, and body."
3. Premier Dead Sea Cinderella Mask
"Luxury skincare rich in life-enhancing minerals from the Dead Sea waters."
4. NuMe Professional Styling Tools and Hair Extensions $100 Gift Card
"Enjoy $100 towards NuMe's products. Hair tools that will revolutionize your everyday look."
5. Freeman Facial Mask Sachets in Goji Berry
"Turn your date night prep-time into a soothing spa experience with easy-to-use skin-perfecting masks."
And there was also a little box of some Ghiradelli chocolates along with a card from NYX to enjoy 30% off any other Roll On Shimmer and a card on the X Out shine control.
All of these great little samples came in the most adorable little hot pink bag with black hearts that you can actually use as a make-up bag. I think that idea is so much better than Birchbox's boxes since you can't really do anything with the boxes. And the price is the same at just $10 a month.
Over all I'm very happy with MyGlam Bag and can't wait until next month to see what great goodies I get then.
Oh and I thought I would show you a picture of the flowers my boyfriend got me for Valentine's Day. They smell divine and make my room look gorgeous.
Do you have a subscription to MyGlam? Do you like it?

Odds and Ends
Today after a delicious lunch of cajun chicken pasta, I went to the mall. A wonderful place to spend a Saturday afternoon, wouldn't you say? It can also be a dangerous place as well.....hehe. Anywhoo I just wanted to show you some of the odds and ends I picked up.
1. I've been running low on my Clinique toner and needed to pick some up, but when I got to Macy's I saw they were selling the whole deal together so I just picked that up. It came with a full sized number 2 toner, lotion and facial soap. I usually run out of everything at different times so it was nice to have everything full.
2. The next stop was at the MAC counter where I picked up a Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in C4, which I think is a few shades lighter than my other compact I already have at home. I also got a great nude lipstick. I got MAC Satin Lipstick in Viva Glam II.
3. Along with the MAC and Clinique visits I had to stop on over to Benefit and pick up my favorite eyebrow pencil of all times. The Instant Brow Pencil in Medium by Benefit is the best pencil I've used so far. I love how it stays on no matter what and gives me a finished look.
4. While at Nordstrom's Rack I saw this adorable Betsy Johnson cosmetic bag and I had to have it. It was on sale for just $16! That's a steal! And it's quite large.
5. I also stopped at Bath & Body Works and they were have a sale, buy 3 get 3 free and if you purchased a Pink Chiffon product you were offered a Pink Chiffon make-up bag with a mini lotion, body wash and body spray at half price.
Oh and I also the the warmest fuzziest jacket from Macy's, but I forgot to take a picture of it :(
How was your Saturday? Did you pick up any odds and ends??

Valentines Day FOTD
Annnnnnnnd it's Valentines Day! It's one of the most hated but loved "holiday" there is. I think it's a great time to spend an evening with your love, but at the same time if your single it's also a great time to go out with the girls and have some liquid courage to find a love hehe. I love all of the sappy love things out there, chocolates, roses, jewelry etc... All girls should be pampered at least once ;)
My boyfriend A is the least romantic being out there and if life went his way he would not celebrate any sappy lovey dovey holiday, but alas he loves me and puts up with it. I don't expect too much because I know he won't do it, but we are going to dinner tonight to our favorite Italian restaurant.
I wanted to show you lovelies what I'm wearing out tonight! It's nothing too fancy, but it does look elegant.
I decided to just do a simple black winged liner on top and a semi bold lip.
What I Used
Eyes:
1. Maybelline Illegal Length mascara
2. Maybelline Great Lash mascara
3. Urban Decay Primer Potion
4. Cover Girl LineExact eyeliner
Face:
1. MAC Studio Fix in NC 43
2.Tarte The Perfect Pink Infused Cheek Stain
Lips:
1. Estee Lauder Pure Color lipstick in 15 Lavish Pink
