I just can't control my excitement. I'm going to IFB Con 2013! It has been far too long since I've been in New York City and the fact that I'm going to be there in less than 2 weeks is just crazy. I've already started my packing lists and I'm tempted to actually start packing, yet I feel like I'm just going to buy new clothes for the event anyways.

Big shoutout to Shelby at Glitter & Gingham for making plans with me, sharing expenses with me, and convincing me to go! I'm glad I won't be alone in the city. :)

Are you going to IFB Con? I'd love to meet more bloggers in real life!

Top 5 Tuesday: Must Have Lip Products

Maybelline Color Whisper in Lust for Blush: most recent lip purchase and I'm obsessed. It's like a tinted lip balm but with great color payoff and the perfect amount of shine. Also, it doesn't taste funny and it smells good too. Definitely going to try out the other colors.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey: I've loved every color I've tried in these, but Honey is my favorite. It really does leave a nice color to your lips that looks natural and stays on all day. Best layered with lip balm though, because it does dry your lips out a bit.

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Sugar Plum: Lip Butter is the perfect description for these creamy, glossy lipsticks. They are pretty sure, so the color is a few shades darker than my natural color.

Cocoa Butter Vaseline: I've been using vaseline on my lips since I was about 5 years old. I put this on before I go to sleep at night, especially when my lips are severely chapped. They're usually all fixed the next morning when I wake up.

EOS Lip Balm: This is always with me in my purse. Its not sticky, slick, or heavy and it smells great too. Not as moisturizing as my Vaseline, but does the trick for layering under lipsticks.

Craftistas: (Crafts) The perfect box for a blogger. DIY supplies sent straight to your house, including instructions. Fun and keeps you busy.

Goodies Co: (Food) So you're telling me I can have gourmet food and snacks delivered to my door every month? Yes please. I'm on the waiting list right now. I can't wait.

Can I have them all?
