Colored Denim & Leopard Haul

18 May

Sorry for the lack of updates/blog posts lately. I’ve started my summer job as I mentioned in my last post, and I absolutely love love where I’m working! The people are so amazing, and despite the occasional stress, everyone is always so supportive and nice =]

This is an overdue haul because… well the post got back-dated, and did not auto-publish. These were stuff that I got during the last week of April (Urgghh… makeup and clothing hauls are such bad ideas!)

Chiffon Shirt – Smart Set
Colored Denims (White, mint) – Forever21
Colored Denim (Pastel pink) – H&M
Workout Tank – Lululemon Athletica
Leopard Flats – Keds

Forever21 just recently opened up a store near my school area, and it was wonderful because it is better stocked and has more variety compared to the Fairview or Eaton locations. There is actually less line-up for the change rooms, and I was actually able to find something in my size in the store (which is quite rare at Forever21). The picture does not do the teal/mint colored denim any justice! I wanted to pick up another bright color but they were all sold out of my size. I went with a neutral white color because it’s such a classic shade that I know will continue to be in in the future.

One of my goals this summer is to get in shape! This will be the year that I’ll succeed in getting in shape =] I bought myself a Lululemon Scoop Neck Tank ($52). It’s incredibly price-y for a workout tank, but it was an investment I was willing to make to motivate myself to actually go to the gym.

Lastly, I treated myself for a pair of sneaker/flats from Keds from a local shoe warehouse sale. It’s a leopard print and I promise you will see a lot of it in the next couple of posts–I am so in love with this pair of sneakers =]

Summer Job & Accumulation of Goodies

8 May

I sort of realize that I need to give my readers advance warning about any makeup blog sales I have. I promise the next time around, I’ll mention it on my blog post =] I always announce my blog sale through twitter, and of course, on the blog! If you haven’t done so already, please follow the blog through Twitter or via Email (I’m so sorry that GFC is no longer here–Google disabled the service for non-blogger users!) if you wish to receive updates every time I update the blog =]


For lack of better title, this is just another haul post =] I started my summer job at the same place where I worked last summer. Since I got a nice raise, and started work quite early, I decided to give myself a nice little treat =] Don’t worry, I don’t spree this often–this was a one-time exception.

MAC Reel Sexy Lipstick (Backup)
MAC Watch Me Simmer Lipstick (Backup)
MAC Pink Popcorn (not pictured)
Tarte Tipsy Blush
MAC Modern Mandarin Blush x2
MAC Lovecloud Blush x2 (Second one not pictured)
MAC Early Morning Mineralized Blush
theBalm Hot Mama Blush
theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer
Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro Primer
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

This beauty haul was started way back in April, when I pre-ordered some MAC items from the Tres Cheek and Reel Sexy Collection. Both launched on the same day, but because I had an exam, I knew I wouldn’t make it in time to pick them up! I am so happy that my order came through (I’ve had MAC backorder my Iris Apfel order =/)

I also stopped by Sephora to pick up the much-raved Shu Uemura eyelash curlers (Now I’m thinking of getting a backup). I don’t know why our Sephora still gets them–I know US Sephora don’t sell them anymore, but our store still gets them every Thursday, and they’re always gone within 3 hours.

Our Sephora is quite unique because it often has products that are long sold out or not easily found in other Sephora. I don’t know exactly why, but it’s proven since I was able to get my hands on theBalm blush and bronzer. I have reviews of these coming up!

Coral Chiffon Blouse – Smart Set
Cream Shawl Cardigan – Smart Set
Lisa Warehouse Sale Haul (post coming up)
Wet n Wild Nail Polish
Wet n Wild Cherry Picking Lipstick

I also got more spring clothes from Smart Set–I love this store! The vibe is so me! After a long and super far search for a nice chiffon blouse, I finally got my hands on one in my size for $20!! I also have a mint blue one which I’ve featured in a different haul! The cream shawl cardigan was also so discounted!

I stopped by Walmart to check out whether Canadian Walmart have new beauty products in stock or not. I was surprised to spot more Milani baked blushes and eyeshadows (but not the liquif’eye eyeliner =[) and also new Wet n Wild nail polishes and lipsticks! I am so in love with this line because the formula and texture are very impressive. I originally purchased a Maybelline nail polish in Denim, but it exploded inside the bag. I got lucky that it didn’t get all over my other purchases.
