Yep, I'm starting off with the highlight of my week. I finally got a new phone! My Blackberry Torch has lasted me well for the past couple of years but it was really slow and annoying that I couldn't wait to replace it. I got the new Samsung Galaxy S4 and I'm loving it! The only thing I struggle with is typing on the screen. I still have a lot to learn about this phone and I've been playing with it all week trying to get familiar with it. I purchased two phones that day, the S4 and the S4 Active, which is supposedly waterproof. Originally, the S4 active should've been mine and the S4 for my son but the Sale dude transferred my contacts to the S4 and I didn't realized that until a few hours later...FAIL! Anyhoo, that's ok, in the end it worked out. I'm still happy with the S4 and perhaps it was a better idea to let my son have the S4 Active. This phone is so much bigger than my old one. My short fingers can barely wrap themselves around it. It is also very slim and lightweight. One thing that annoys the crap out of me is that this phone is a magnet to finger prints. I just ordered some cases and screen protectors.
From Hautelook, I snagged these Bucco Doca sneaker wedge in the color Pewter Metallic. I got the size 8 like I normally do. They feel just a little snug on me but still comfortable. I'm not particularly attracted to sneaker wedges style but I digged this pair because I thought they looked cool with the opened cut and strappy buckles. They're also very light and the wedge is not too high. They were $34.00 plus shipping.
From Sally Beauty Supply, I picked up these Ardell lashes because I like how soft and natural they look.
I also needed another lash glue because my Revlon lash glue was getting pretty goopy and messy so I went with the Ardell Brush-On Striplash Adhesive. I also bought a couple nail polishes from the clearance rack but will do a separate post on them :)
Stay tuned for more hauls and swatches :)
Nice phone! I like sneaker wedges because they're so comfy but still give me a little lift. These ones are really cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks. These sneaker wedge are pretty comfy. Would be great paired with skinny jeans.
DeleteI love getting a new phone - but I hate "leaning" it :) Fun purchases! I agree those eyelashes look soft and natural - purty!
ReplyDeleteYeah every phone is different so every time you get a new one you gotta learn how to learn how it works. This phone is so much faster than my old one. Graphics are better too.
DeleteNice haul you got there. The phone looks so amazing. I'm still undecided what phone I should get since I still have 6 months left. Hope you enjoy the phone.
ReplyDeleteYes it can be hard to choose with all the choices we have available. I guess it just going to depends on your preference.
DeleteAwesome phone. I want a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone so bad, but my contract isn't up until next year. LOL I think those sneaker wedges are so cool.
ReplyDeleteI just got that phone too! In white though. I love it!! It's my first smart phone and I think I'm getting the hang of using it. I don't think I would ever wear sneaker wedges/sandal wedges. It just doesn't appeal to me nor would it go with my style.
ReplyDeleteSmart of you to get a case and screen protectors for that. A friend of mine dropped his S4, and let's just say that his pockets were emptied after getting it fixed. Anyway, I hope you and your son are enjoying your gadgets! :) -Mary @ Telco World
