This one is from my work, EXPRESS, and was regularly 34.90$, then marked down to 19.99$ + 40% off which turned my total into 11.99$!! (My store has a killer clearance sale on right now.. check it.
These short are also from my work. I had been eyeing them since we got them, so when they were marked down in the sale I scooped them up! They were regularly 69.90$ but I got them for 29.99$ + 20% off!
Again, from my work, not something I'd normally get but considering the price I figured it'd be good for lounging about and the like. It was originally 24.90$, then marked down several times eventually to 5.99$ + 40% for a total of 3.59$.. can't beat that!
The colour didn't turn up too well in the picture, no matter what I tried, but it's actually a bit more of a rose gold colour. Anyway, I'm not sure the use I'll get from this however I fell in love with the chain strap. So cute! Originally 19.90$ then marked down to 9.99$ + 40% which came to 5.99$!
I made a stop into Sephora (looking for my prized Origins spot remover which they haven't had for weeks.. grrrrr) when I realized I needed some new top coat. I quite like speed dry ones, I feel if I don't use a speed dry my nails always get messed up, even if I sit them out for over 5 minutes. So I'm excited to try this one!
I saw a tutorial sample of this last time I was in Sephora, but since it was on sale they were all sold out. I was happy when I went to my local Sephora to see it still there, and still on sale for a measly 6$, half price of it's regular 12$. I don't own a glitter that has the long flecks, so I'm quite excited. I love the iridescence too. "Hollywood If I Could" is the name!
I'd been meaning to get a fan brush for awhile, so I was pleased as punch when I saw that this was marked down from 17$ to 13$. It is the Sephora Pro Natural Fan Brush #43. I'm so excited on this one!
When I saw that Bath and Body Works was having a huge sale I had to take a peak! I'm a huge fan of their candles; you get a great amount of scent considering the price. This one is called New York, New York and is apple scented.. get it.. the big apple ;~) hehehehe. I thought it would be good for spring, and it was only 5$ compared to the usual price on this size being 13$!
This is a really lame one, but I was quite excited that white strips are on sale :~) I'm obsessed with having white teeth, so this was the ultimate score for me! YAY!
My lovely purchases from the first shopping trip :~) I did have quite a few gift cards to spend heheheheh
Here we have my much coveted MAC Mineralize Skin Finish (MSF) in Lightscapade; I'm obsessed with this! It's aimed primarily as a highlighter, It's a champagne colour with a pearl flex and blue veins, so pretty!
Nars Blush in Orgasm (32$); I don't know how I've never owned this blush seeing as it's one of the products/shades Nars is notorious for, but nevertheless, it's now mine! It's a peachy-pink with gold flex.. definitely a reoccurring colour in my collection. It's very pigmented and goes on rather well, although I only like a subtle amount of blush so this one requires quite a bit of blending for me, personally. Other than that, I loooove the colour!
Make Up For Ever Camouflage Cream Palette in No1 (43$); Another product I've been dying for for quite some time. The first three are used for concealer, depending on your skin colour you can blend them and the like, the fourth is aimed at under eye circles and the last one is green to combat redness. I love the consistency of these, I do find the product ends up with a bit of oily residue on it after using it (in the packaging, not on your face if that makes sense..) aside from that, great product.
Stila Convertible Color in Peony (33$); I've eyeing this one for quite some time, but I'm not too skilled in the cream blush department.. but after swatching one day in Sephora I decided to take the plunge, and I'm glad I did! It can be used for cheeks and lips. (This shade at least) it doesn't have a strong colour change on lips, just kind of one of those 'your lips but better' shades, then on the cheeks it gives off a nice dewy glow.
Benefit Coral My World (15$); This was one of those purchases that I picked up while in the queue at Sephora. I've been lusting after Benefit's blushes for the longest time, but not quite enough to shell out the 36$, so luckily this came along! Included is the Coralista blush (~1/3 of the full size) and a mini sun beam highlighter. I actually have a set of three benefit tint/highlighters of the same size also picked up while in queue at sephora, and they've lasted me for over a year, so all thought it looks small, a little goes a long way. The blush is a coral/peachy-pink with gold flex, just how I like it ;~) and the highlighter is gold, which is quite nice as it's different from the usual pearl shades I go to. Perfect for the summer, I love sets like these as they let you try some products and incorporate them into your collection for cheap!
Clinique Chubby Stick in 15-Pudgy Peony (19$); I'd recently fallen in love with Clinique lip products, so I decided to try this; the fact that it was a super pigmented balm in a bright colour really caught my attention. I love this because it gives you the colour of lipstick, but with the moisture of a balm. It's not an excessively pigmented lip colour, however they do have an 'intense' range if you're looking for more pigment. This satisfies my pigment needs. I'd definitely recommend this, I'm in love. And of course, the colour I fell in love is coincidentally called 'peony' .. can you say meant to be? Or obsession ;~)
First here is the Nails Inc Special Effects Holographic Polish (12$); I've been dying to try a holographic polish for the longest time, so when I saw this I finally took the plunge and purchased. I've yet to try it, but I'm sure you'll see it in a NOTD post in the future :~)
Next is the fresh Soy Face Cleanser* (17.50$); I've been dying to try this cleanser for the longest time, so I was beyond thrilled when I received a sample of it!! I'm OBSESSED with the fresh brand, it's one of my favourites. I've yet to use this, but will be using it tonight for sure! SOOOO excited, eeee!
Here we have the fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream with Super 7 Complex* (48$); This is another sample I received and will definitely be trying tonight as well with my soy cleanser. As stated above, I LOOOOOVE FRESH :~)
Finally, MAC Matte Lipstick in Russian Red (18$); Finally I've bought my very first matte finish from MAC, which is quite surprising as I really dislike glossy finishes.. I've been meaning to buy a red from MAC for the longest time so I was quite satisfied with this one! Deeper reds tend to look better with my skin tone, so it was hard to find one I liked but I'm in love with this one! YAY!
