Drugstore Haul! ft. Loreal, Essie, Covergirl & More!

Hello my lovelies! I am back with another haul post and I think it will be the last one for a while so definitely look forward to product reviews, makeup looks and monthly favorites! =) Anyways enough of the chitchat, let's get right into it! 

** WARNING! This will be a very lengthy post!!! You have been warned!! **

So I was looking through some flyers and came across Shoppers ( it's a Canadian version of like Walgreens in the states ) and they had some awesome deals going on so I had to go check it out. 

The first area I went to was Loreal and their Colour Riche lip products were on sale for $6.99  ( regularly priced at $13.49 I believe ) so I had to pick up some most raved about Color Riche Lip Caresse Shine Stain. People have been saying that these are comparable to the YSL Lip Stain but at a budget friendly price =) The shades that I managed to pick up was 188 Coral Tattoo, 189 Pink Rebellion and 190 Endless Red. I can't wait to try these babies out and compare them to the YSL ones I have.





Next I was wanting a new mascara for some odd reason so when I saw some Loreal ones on sale I thought why not. The one that I picked up was the Voluminous False Fiber Lashes in the waterproof formula because waterproof formulas are the only ones that will actually hold the curl for a long period of time, and this mascara has gotten good reviews on it and I love mascaras that gives lengths just cause I need it lol! 



So then I moved onto the Covergirl section and I'm pretty sure you guys can guess what I picked up right? If you guessed Covergirl Stay Fabulous Outlast 3 in 1 Foundation then you can give yourself a pat on the back hehe! Of course I purchased this because of all the great reviews from different blogs and Youtube videos. I have already swatched it on my hands and I think I might have gotten a shade too dark so I'll have to head back to the store and exchange for another shade but the formula feels great, the coverage seems great but I'll see if it works with my skin later. 




As you guys know that I'm kind of a nail polish addict so I was browsing that section and I saw a Essie stand so I thought it was the new Resort collection but it was their Spring collection but the thing that got me was that this collection was on sale for $6 each and the regular price was $11.99 I believe so I grabbed the last three remaining ones without thinking. The shades that I got was Madison Hue Ave, Bond With Whomever & Avenue Maintain. 




Next I needed to pick up some nose strips and my favorite are the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips. I haven't used one in ages and I took the opportunity last night to use it and it felt so good and I got alot of my whiteheads out ( yeah the strip looked pretty gross.. lol ) I would definitely recommend this product for anyone that is looking for something like this. And I also managed to pick up Maybelline The Flash Clean Makeup Removing Lotion cause I'm always on the hunt for a good but affordable makeup remover and I've been hearing good stuff about this line so why not give it a try. 




This was something new that I noticed and I haven't heard much reviews on this line but it seems to be okay so I thought I would give it a try and it's the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream I don't recall trying anything from Olay ( they are best known for products for mature skin and such ) so I thought this would be a good start! 




I was watching one of Missglamorazzi 's videos ( I can't remember which one it was lol ) but she was raving about these new lip balms and I thought it was really cute so I just had to pick it up! It's the Nivea Lip Butter in the Vanilla & Macadamia scent and I'm not really a fan of vanilla scented products but when I smelt this, it just smelt like chocolate so I was quite happy about that! 




On another day I headed to Walmart to pick up some essentials and not thinking I would go to the cosmetics area but sadly I did =( but I'm glad cause if I didn't I wouldn't have discovered Real Techniques Makeup Brushes By Samantha Chapman! I was really happy when I saw these because I thought I would never get a chance to get my hands on them, now I can see if it's really worth the hype! I picked up the set for face brushes and I might go back for the eye brushes set if these ones are good =) 




I will have to say that this was kind of an impulse buy but seriously it was too cute to pass up! I first saw it on Thatsheart 's instagram and then I saw it in store, if you've guessed Marc Jacobs Daisy Sunshine then you are correct! I'm not the best person to describe scents but I'll give it a try. 
The original Daisy from the permanent line is more of a floral and musky scent where as Daisy Sunshine is more on the fruity side yet there's some hints of floral. So if you're a fan of the original then I would definitely recommend you go and smell this and possibly purchase it as well because it is a limited edition. 




Last but not least I picked this up on a whim and the packaging definitely suckered me in, it's the Bath&Body Works Lemon Mint Leaf Candle and if you guys know me then you know that I'm a sucker for anything that has citrus in it and the color of the candle definitely got me too! This candle will make my room have the scent of freshness which I like hehe

Well if you have read till here then I would like to thank you guys for taking the time to read all of this! I hope that you guys enjoyed this and I'll definitely try to get some product review posts up on these items soon! =) And I want to know what have you guys bought recently from the drugstore? =) Score any great deals?

Time To Celebrate By Getting Cheeky!

Hello hello my lovelies! I'm very happy to say that this is my 100th post!! I honestly didn't think I would get this far but it's because of you guys reading my posts and leaving comments that make it all worth wild to blog and I just want to thank you guys!! I definitely don't want to stop blogging until I can't anymore LOL! :) If you have been reading my blog for quite some time then you know what I like to blog about the most.. HAULS! And what better to do another one for my 100th post! :) Let me get started because I have alot to cover! 


My Stash Of Goodies! :) Can you guess what they are? 


My Goodies are revealed!! Yes I did go a little MAC crazy ;) It's the brand that got me into the makeup scene so props to MAC! 


From Left to Right: 
Pink Tea || Love Cloud || Peony Petal || Immortal Flower 


The Labels! 


****** 


So Pretty Aren't They? 


From Left to Right: 
Whisper Of Gilt || Sweet Heat || Reel Sexy 


*****


OMG! They are too pretty to be swatched! :( 


From Left to Right: 
YSL Glossy Stain in 17 Encre Rose || Victoria Secret Illuminating Face Powder in All Or Nothing


*****


It's so pretty when it's swatched! :) 


I was attracted to the pretty hot pink box.. :) 


*****


Not only does it look good, but it smells good too! :) 

TIDBITS! 

- I haven't stepped into a MAC counter/store since the last time I purchased something which was in February ( I had to backtrack on my blog hehe ) and so when I was on Temptalia's website I saw that MAC was released a collection that was strictly with blushes and if you know me I LOVE my blushes! So I knew that I definitely wanted some before they sold out! 

- When I went to the MAC counter that I usually go to, one of the colors was already sold out and it was only 2 hours since the mall open!! And that shade was the one that I really wanted too and thank god there was a MAC store in the mall so after I grabbed the other shades that were available I went straight to the store and thankfully they had it! I was a happy camper! :) The things I do.. 

- I wanted to get a backup of Pink Tea because it is just a gorgeous everyday shade, I was there the next day and it was sold out already!! I'm still punching myself for not getting one when I had the chance to :(  So if you were wanting to pick up some shades from this collection then I suggest you go EARLY or call your MAC store/counter to hold them for you because  they will honestly sell out really fast! 

- One day I randomly went into Victoria Secret to see if there was anything I liked ( I'm a sucker for lingerie .. is it just me?! ) and of course I walked past the makeup area, and I saw a 50% off sale sign on one stand. So of course I had to browse and I saw the illuminating face powder tester and I swatched it and it was absolutely gorgeous! And I couldn't pass it up for $11 :) The packaging feels a little cheap and it reminds me of Milani 

- I was seriously attracted to the pretty little hot pink box of the Marc Jacobs perfume and I knew that I had to smell it! And I'm glad that I did because it is just AMAZING!  I can honestly say that this could be a wedding scent for me but that isn't happening a LONG TIME from now :) It is a limited edition item! 

Well that's all that I have to share!! I hope you guys aren't sick of me posting so many haul posts! But I promise that I will be posting up reviews and makeup looks more often soon! :) 

P.S!! If you guys didn't read some of my older posts then you probably don't know that I will be leaving to Hong Kong in a month's time for a month's vacation! I pretty darn excited so I'm not too sure if I'll be able to blog as much into between times because there's just so much to do! :( Hope you guys understand but I will be updating before I leave!! :D Much love! <3 

P.S P.S!!! I have recently been obsessed with Instagram!! I've been posting random photos and it's pretty fun!! So I think you guys should follow me if you want to know what's going on with my life! :)

What Do You Smell Like? ( My Collection Of High End Perfumes )

I thought I would show you guys my collection of high end/designer brands perfumes! :) I may not have as much as some other people would but I'm content with the amount I have because from the picture you'll be able to tell that I don't wear perfume as often, I only wear it when I feel like it or the special occasions HAHA this doesn't mean I smell bad okay :P Let's get started!



Left to Right: Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture, Daisy by Marc Jacob, The Beat by Burberry, Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel

Description Of What Each Scent Is Like: * Info taken from Sephora's website *

Viva La Juicy

" An unexpected mingling of grapefruit and quince meets the crispness of fresh green notes, while a trace of Jasmine Absolute lingers in the air. Gently warmed by a sheer veil of White Musk, at once, innocent and seductive. "

Daisy

" Strawberry, Violet Leaves, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Gardenia, Violet Petals, Jasmine Petals, Musk, Vanilla, White Woods " This one didn't have a description haha

The Beat

" Bergamot, Cardamom, Pink Pepper, Mandarin, Iris, Bluebell, Ceylon Tea, White Musk, Vetiver, Cedarwood " This one didn't really have a description either lol

Chance Eau Tendre


" An unexpected mingling of grapefruit and quince meets the crispness of fresh green notes, while a trace of Jasmine Absolute lingers in the air. Gently warmed by a sheer veil of White Musk, at once, innocent and seductive.

Just from reading those description, which one do you like? :) I love them all or I wouldn't have bought them HAHA! If I had to put them into categories this is what it would look like.

Everyday Wear: Viva La Juicy or The Beat
Evening Wear: Viva La Juicy or Daisy
Special Occasions: Chance

Haha if you couldn't tell Viva La Juicy is probably my favorite out of the four but I love them all equally. :) If I had to make recommendations to other people, Viva La Juicy and The Beat has more of a sweet and fruity scent to it while Daisy and Chance has a stronger floral scent which some people might not like.

Well that's everything I want to share with you! I want to know what's in your collection and if you'll be getting any in the near future! :)
