shopping - Benefit's Sizzlin' Six! First Look

Image
Hi girls! So, this month, I told myself I wouldn't splurge too much with makeup, since I really wanted something from the new Marc Jacobs cosmetics line. I quickly got that idea out of my head once I saw the $71 price tag for 6 eyeshadows. I've also taught myself lately to only buy things with coupons, and only when they're on sale, so for me to buy this set was a bit impulsive. I am a huge fan of Benefit, I love the quality of their products, and the packaging is adorable. That being said, I'm still a college student, and my first priority isn't always a new boxed blush. While at work last night, I noticed this in our cosmetics section and I justified it as something I've been waiting for. Sizzlin' Six Value Pack - $30 I googled this kit and I couldn't seem to find it online. I got this at Shoppers Drug Mart and with  my discount I got it for $21, which isn't bad because a sample set of even two of these items at Sephora would be $18. I...

shopping - August Ipsy 2013!

Image
Hi lovelies! I know, this should have been up ages ago, but I just find myself becoming less and less excited about Ipsy bags. I don't know what it is, but the past few haven't truly knocked my socks off and now that I really enjoy "couponing" (more on that later), I'd much rather pay for a full size product. That's not to say I'd ever cancel Ipsy. I'm not crazy. "Glamour Academy" I was pretty satisfied with this month's bag. I really wanted the Urban Decay lipstick, and I was seriously contemplating buying the Smashbox primer at work the other day, so it's great that now I get to try before I buy. Compared to some other bags I've seen, I'm glad I received what I did. The bag itself is kind of cute, I like the colours but the print is a little too silly for my everyday bag.  Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick in "69" This new line of lipsticks have been advertised as "Creamy, badass, luxury...

shopping - July Empties 2013!

Image
Hi Girls! So, this is a super late post, and my August empties is looking a little, well, empty. Out of both busy-ness and neglect, I forgot all about this post. So I apologize to you, my readers, because it's really lame to follow a blog with rare posts. I've got my July Empties today, and I must say that I'm proud of myself. I focused on a lot of my Project Pan and some other things I was determined to see out this month. I apologize for the poor quality! It looks excellent in my picture viewer but somehow converts to crap when I upload it. Skincare Empties Paris Amour Body Lotion - One of my favourite scents from Bath and Body Works, so I did really enjoy it. I will definitely repurchase once I get through my collection of lotions.  Would Repurchase Jergens Natural Glow Lotion - The best self tanner I have ever used. I've tried other things, wipes, tinted gels, everything. I'm pale as pale gets so I've been through them all. Wh...
