A really big shopping haul for no apparent reason ever.
For the longest time I have been really wanting to get into the 'big city' to have some retail therapy. Ever since taking on another job I've been pretty busy nonstop and it can get really exhausting. I have also been wanting more Lush in my collection from my last shopping haul. Apparently on top of Lush, I got a lot more other items, maybe more than what I initially would have liked but this is what happened and here is the damage.
The first store we went to was Target. Since they are going out of business all of their product is at least at 25% off, that's a pretty good deal so I picked up a few things there.
The DVD's were all 40% off, even new releases! How awesome of a deal is that? I don't purchase hard copies of movies unless it is one of my favorites and two of them just so happened to be on sale at Target. I don't have a Blu-Ray so normally would go for the DVD option, but because now they seem to be making the DVDs cheaper I figured why not just go for the Blu-Ray option as it's already so much taken off as it is. Not to mention in Gone Girl you also got the Amazing Amy book to go along. This was a steal in my opinion, especially if you are a collector like me.
Because of my hectic life and always being on the go I almost always have a bookbag with me to carry everything that I need just on a daily basis. With that being said, I did need a smaller bag just for casual downtime instead of carrying my entire life around with me in a bookbag-you can get some weird looks. My wallet was also getting a little old as well and just felt the need for a change. On second thoughts about the bag I noticed that it looks like a baby's bag of some sort, oh well I can still rock it.. for a little while anyway. Other than that I really like the wallets I chose however if you are looking to get quality these are probably not for you. These wallets are really flimsy and probably should only be used as a fashion accessory/statement. The bag seems to be better built than the wallets but it is all on ones preference really.
I've never seen these my entire life! Really curious to see if they actually work as it says they're supposed so.
Just some random miscellaneous stuff I grabbed. A couple of mud masks, packs of q-tips an EOS lip balm and some grid paper for my sister, it might be useful for her in a few years for school.
I've been curious for a while how Pixi works as well as intrigued by the cute packaging they have. I thought I had an eyelid primer in my cart as well but upon looking at the receipt apparently I didn't toss it in- ah well maybe next time. I've stopped to look at the L'oreal Fibralogy hair thickening product at my local Sobeys quite a few times and was planning on buying it at some point but for a little over 10$ I just couldn't justify it maybe working. At Target, it was substantially under 10$ and the liquidation percent on top of that, sold!
Also I couldn't forget to grab some granola.
If you live in Canada and have a Target on liquidation near to you, the sales are actually not as good as they will get. As far as I'm concerned the only thing worth getting at this point are DVD's and high demand items such as electronics and makeup or your day-to-day essentials if you need them. These prices will go down substantially, everything takes time.
The only thing I got at H&M was this rollerball perfume. Not because it was only 3$ but the Macadamia smells like sweet Vanilla, I nearly fell in love.
If you live anywhere near the Maritimes you know just how much I want winter to be over and done with. Well I can dream, right?
I thought this was super cute at Bath and Body works, these are Aloe infused lounging socks.
I love their cleansing hand soaps and when this one was on for $3.50 I just had to have it! Plus yet again it helps me remember that summer will be coming, eventually! Let's not forget that it does have a touch of coconut smell to it, and we all know I love coconut.
It was hard to capture this tumblr but it says 'Time to get shitty'. I thought it was funny, and it's almost St Patrick's day so it might become versatile as well. (;
You can never have too many shot cups to be honest.
The eye area is the most sensitive of your skin which means that it can cause and you will notice fine lines and wrinkles at a young age unfortunately. It is so important to take care especially of that part of your skin. I am on a search for the best and most versatile eye product out there. This is no messing around issue for me. When I learn something new I get really anal about my face and want to preserve my youth as long as I possibly can. I haven't tried any Fresh products either so this will be my first and hopefully not my last!
Ever since Urban Decay came out with Perversion I had wanted it but only got a chance to get my hands on it today. And I snagged that one up real quick.
Might have went a little tiny bit over my budget at Sephora but I don't regret these at all.
Originally I had planned on more Mac this trip, unfortunately we went to Sephora first and apparently that is where most of my money had gone into. Ah well, there's always next time!
It's really unfortunate that I couldn't get my hands on the Miley Cyrus lipstick, however I did grab the lipglass while I can and will be back for the lipstick. I will get it if it is the death of me! Number one Miley Cyrus fan right here! Once I do get both of them I will do a review on them together, not one by one.
I am a lipstick whore, especially when it comes to Mac but because I don't live near a Mac outlet nor order online I still consider my collection to be pretty small. Once I get it built up to where I am satisfied I'll do a thorough post on my Mac lippies.
I was going to do an unboxing and review on this but since Valentine's day is already past-better late than never, right? here it is:
Mini Unboxing Post:
Toucan Love. How cute is the wrapping paper?
Thank you Amy's team!
Popcorn!
And finally, the products! I had too much fun with that. We have Cupid's Love, a fruity soap filled with figs and passionfruit juice. This has got a firm gel-like texture and smells fruity with a hint of a spice. Then we have Prince Charming, a sweet pomegranate and vanilla shower gel.
Initially I was going into Lush to pick up a few of their mud masks. Disappointed that they didn't actually have any fresh ones in, I instead opted to get a bunch of bath bombs and bubble bars.
The color on the picture is actually pale compared to how pink it is in person. This is a creamy candy bubble bar. This one smells just like bubble gum, I could probably just sit there and smell it all day and not get tired of it.
I also got the Rose Jam Bubbleroon bubble bar. I was immediately attracted to this because it looked like an ice cream sandwich. Also it smelled really sweet like candy. yummy! Also it can be broken in half and used twice if you wanted.
I picked up a Blackberry bath bomb as well. Again, the camera pigmentation isn't doing justice as to the actual color. What attracted me to this was because of the color and it smelled pretty good too. Exciting to see how this is going to turn out!
My Mint Julips lip scrub is nearly finished and after thoroughly enjoying every last piece of sugar, I decided to pick up another Lip Scrub, this time in Bubblegum. I have a feeling I will enjoy this one just the same as well and am looking forward to dipping into it as soon as my Mint Julips one is finished!
The associate who was taking care of me was so generous enough to give me three samples! WOW! I will also be enjoying these as well!
If you made it to the end of this post, congratulations because I'm not entirely sure if I even made it here myself. Do I even have to say that there will more than likely be reviews on most if not all of these in the next little while? Didn't think so haha. I certainly went all out with this little shopping trip and am good to go for the next little while that's for sure.
