MAC, Sephora and The Body Shop Haul

2013 is not off to a good start for my wallet as you can see from the title of this post. lol. While I'm not on a "no buy" ban, I've still been telling myself to not buy as much makeup unless I really need it. But of course, I couldn't resist and purchased these items over the holidays. Even though I've been bad, I'm so excited to share with you gals my new acquisitions!

Latest Essie Nail Polish Acquisitions

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!

Just wanted to share with you some nail polish I purchased from a great sale from Rexall Pharmacy.

They are currently having a $3.00 off on Essie Polishes that is running until Oct. 11, 2012. I took advantage and purchased the shades Mink Muffs, Recessionista, Peach Daiquiri, Turquoise and Caicos, and Pilates Hottie

Price: $6.99 CAD from $9.99 CAD

Place to buy: Rexall Pharmacy

Collective Fall Haul!

I decided to treat myself and picked up some stuff from different places. Now, I didn't buy these things all at once. These are the bits and pieces I purchased in the last couple of weeks.

I'm so excited with the seasonal scented candles that Bath and Body Works came out with! The scents that I picked up are Frosted Cupcake and Pumpkin Caramel Latte. Both scents are just  so yummy! My first Gosh nail polish in Ocean

Shoppers was having a promo where a bottle of I love.... shower gel was free with a purchase of two bottles from the same brand. The scents I have are Mango and Papaya, Raspberry and Blackberry, and Lemons and Lime.

Now some makeup stuff! I wanted to try the new L'Oreal Extra Intense Liquid Eye Pencil and the Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara and see if they're worth the hype! Some more candles from Bath and Body Works, this time the scents Salted Caramel (which reminds me of caramel popcorn!) and Cinnamon Sugared Donut. I have been wanting to buy a new wallet and when I saw this Guess wallet I immediately snatched it up! Good thing it was also on sale. :)

Finally! I was able to buy Urban Decay Naked Palette! I recently became a Sephora V.I.B. and took advantage of their 10% introductory promo. I also picked up the Shiseido 50 Ultra Sun Protection Cream, I've heard a lot of good things about this sunscreen so I wanted to try it out. La Roche Posay Mela-D Serum for my acne hyper pigmentation. And two nail polish sets from Winners, the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Collection in "Sophiesti-Cuties" and OPI Muppets Collection mini set.

Bath and Body Works Haul

Sensing a theme here?

I thought to share a quick post of some products I picked up yesterday when I went to the mall. A few weeks ago Bath and Body Works had their Semi - Annual Sale where they had 50% off for their select products. When the sale first started I bought some of the Liquid Hand soaps of different kinds and scents and I loved them so much I came back for more of the brand's products.

I hauled products of my favourite scent from the brand, Sweet Pea. I just love how light, soft and delicate this scent is! 

Products I bought are the following;

Sweet Pea 3 wick candle - $10.00 CAD (originally $22.50 CAD)

2 Sweet Pea Mini Shower Gels - part of the 3 for $10.00 CAD promo (originally $5.00 CAD each)

Sweet Pea Fragrance Mist -part of the 3 for $10.00 CAD promo (originally $5.00 CAD)

Forever Sunshine Triple Moisture Body Cream $6.00 CAD (originally $12.00 CAD)

Have you hauled any products from their Semi - Annual Sale?

Sephora and Essie Haul

Hello lovely people!

I've had a stressful week at work so I decided to go to the mall yesterday and indulge in some retail therapy by visiting Sephora, Walmart and Winners.

Here are the items that I picked up!

From Sephora

Too Faced Prime and Poreless Pure Oil-Free Skin Smoothing Face Primer for Sensitive Skin. 

Price: $38.00 CAD

Whew! That was a long product name! Hehe. I haven't read much reviews about this product from beauty blogs as its fairly new still but I'm really excited to try this out for my oily skin. 

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Price: $24.00 CAD

I have been perfectly happy with my E.L.F. Eyelid Primer for the past few months but when I started wearing makeup for longer hours because of work I noticed that after about 8 hours my eyeshadow creased. I decided to try this out and see if this product is worth the hype.

Benefit 'How To Look The Best At Everything' Set

Price: $36.00 CAD

I have been lemming for Benefit products ever since I got into makeup but their prices are not really budget friendly. So when I saw this set on Sephora's website I decided that I had to have it! This set includes; the POREfessional, Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation, Boi-ing Concealer in shades 03 and 04, and Hello Flawless Powder.

Benefit 'Go Tropicoral' Set

Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers
