Haul || H&M, MAC, Drugstore..

I recently picked up a few odds and ends on a little mall trip and thought I'd show you all :)

Shoppers Drug Mart
❤ 2 x Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara - my all-time and only favourite drugstore mascara, and it was on sale ;) so I stocked up, obviously
❤ Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 17 - again, it was on sale, and I'm on a quest for work friendly neutrals that won't wash me out. This one is a pink-nude.

H&M
❤ Mirrored Phone Case - this case is so cute! ..however it tarnished two days after having it on. VERY disappointing. I love how it was mirrored.. I'm not that vain, am I?
❤ Earrings - they were on sale for 3$.. I couldn't refuse, easy as that
❤ Change Purse - with getting lots of change in tips from work I really needed a coin purse for my change, this one is super cute and so soft, I'm in love
❤ Purple Cross Body Bag - another sale item, 15$! I love the colour of this bag as well as the size and amount it holds. I find myself reaching for this bag almost everyday
❤ Silver Statement Necklace - I was lusting over a similar one at one of my other jobs which was three times the price, so when I saw this on sale you bet your bottom dollar I snatched it up!
❤ Patterned Shorts - H&M always has the cutest shorts; majority of them being in the 15$ price range. When I saw these I loved how they could easily be dressed up or down. Hoping to have a styling feature on these babies in the future!
❤ Loose Basic Tanks - I got this shirt in three colours; the striped, black and white. Great basics and wonderful for layering, and at 5$ you can't go wrong! They're so lightweight and breezy. Loved them on my trip to Boston!

And from MAC I picked up three lipsticks:

BRICK-O-LA: an orangey/pinkey/browny red.. if that makes sense. It looks different on everyone, I swear! A girl I work with said it looked brownish red on her, but on me it has orangey tones sometimes, and pink tones others? I don't even know.. either way, I'm in love with it. I love it as an understated, less bold, everyday type red!

REBEL: I've previously owned (and loved this one) but then lost it ages ago on a night out.. I finally repurchased because I missed it THAT much! It's a gorgeous pink/purple and it looks so different and beautiful on every skin tone!

SYRUP: I've heard rave reviews about this one, one of those 'your lips but better' colours which I really need more of for work. This lipstick has now become a staple for me, and I find myself reaching for it most work days.

Mini drugstore haul!

Earlier this week I had to make a stop at my bank, and half an hour later I found myself walking out of the drugstore next door with a bag full of goodies and no recollection.. OOPS. This happens too often..

I actually needed this magazine for class, so this isn't TOO bad..


Love me some baby lips! So soft!


On the left/top is Coral Crush, and the right/bottom is Peach Kiss


I feel like everyone in the beauty community and their mum have raved about these bad boys, so I had to grab another colour! Revlon Lip Butter in 040 Red Velvet - swatched


And the colour on - couldn't resist a selfie ;~)


Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick in 04; I loooved this colour on the swatch..


..on my lips, not so much, quite scary upon initial application


But I really liked it once I blotted it down quite a lot, so this will definitely be high maintenance for me


And finally, Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara; The brush (R) compared to the original Great Lash mascara (L)



The brush is tiiiiiny, so cute! I liked it a lot for my bottom lashes and my harder to reach inner/outer top lashes, but I couldn't use this on the regular, I'm verrrrry particular about my eyelashes, keep that in mind. I like them very full and natural looking and I feel like this didn't really do that enough for me to repurchase, but I'll definitely use this one, and as always I'll repurchase the original Great Lash mascara - it's the drugstore mascara I swear by!
