Over the course of August I collected a few items here and there but not enough for hauls each time (I'm trying to spend wisely).

Most of these items were bought during my vacation time.  I went to Prince Edward Island for a small part of my vacation and the rest was spent in sporadic areas around Nova Scotia.  Despite all of the traveling I didn't have much chance to get any type of souvenir, however I did manage to sneak into a few of my favorite stores on the way!

Starting with Lush and Mac.  I bought a Mac lipstick(of course) in the shade Taupe.  This is a neutral medium color brown matte finish and is perfect for the fall or at a workplace which is becoming my go-to shade.  At lush, I picked up another massage bar as I'm almost out of Pearl.  This time around I went with the Organic Therapy massage bar.  I decided to pick up a soap bar in Rock Star.  This is my first time trying a soap bar and I'm excited to use it in the shower!  I like to keep bar soaps for the shower and liquid or foam soap for hand washing.

I wasn't planning on picking anything up at La Senza but it just so happened that they were having a spin wheel that day and I got a free pair of panties with a purchase.  I chose to get two nice pairs instead of the ones they have for 3$ at times.  The light one is a pastel purple with cute prints and strings on the side.  The dark red has leopard print on the back. *socute*

I've been meaning to purchase a few new bras.  To start this off, I went with a sports bra because I enjoy being comfortable and my work is physically demanding to wear wires and fancy bras.  I bought this one as a test and will be back to buy more as these do the trick well! I also got a free wallet lanyard.  One thing about Victoria Secret is that they almost always have giveaways with every purchase.

I bought this necklace locally.  I don't really buy jewellery unless I am really drawn to it and so with this one I really liked the design.  I need to find another chain because it keeps falling off and I've actually almost lost it a few times already!

Next, I made a small purchase at Wal-Mart during the back to school days.  I bought a Biore charcoal facial cleansing pack and a few Garnier face masks.  I'm not going back to school however I felt the need to purchase pencils!  These aren't just any type of pencil but the 'plastic' kind.  I'm not sure how else to describe it but all I know is that they are extremely hard to come by and my favorite!  If I ever end up going back to school I will have pencils to go!

Now onto the essential part of this post. The only reason the toothbrush and paste are in here is because they're for sensitive teeth. I love soft bristles on my teeth or else I find that it's just too rough for me, this kind is just super massaging and feels right, effective and efficient!  The toothpaste is because sometimes I just have sensitive teeth.  I also purchased a teeth whitener!  Maybe you will see a review up on this at some point!

Here we go again with the hair stuff.   I just need to not go through the hair aisle anymore.  Actually, I went to get just hair conditioner because I tend to go through that triple time I do my shampoo.  I find myself going towards L'oreal for a lot of my hair essentials. I bought the L'oreal moisture infusion mask only because colder seasons are coming and I'm hoping this will keep moisture locked in and help with soon coming dandruff! The Live Clean Exotic Nectar Argan Oil because the packaging attracted me.  Yep, gotta kick that habit.

I wasn't actually going to put this in here but I seen that it's scented? I've never seen that before!

That's it guys!  There wasn't much but I wanted to start digging into my goodies before too long.  I'll start reviews on a few things here shortly as well!

Here we go yet again another shopping haul!  I still need to catch up on my reviews from the previous haul, my Memebox-could you believe it I actually haven't gotten around to using some of the products from there yet!- and some other randoms, and here we go buying more!  How typical.

This haul I had to make a point on going into Mac first because last time I wanted to concentrate on that but unfortunately went there last so I didn't have much money left by the time we got there!

Excuse the blurry picture!  Me being a lipstick junky it comes to no surprise all of the products are lipstick related. 

 Yes! I got the matching lipstick for the Miley Cyrus Viva Glam collection, finally!  Now I can use my gloss and have great spring/summer lips!  Oh and make my post on them as a pair, woot!   Since I loved Sin so much and am still trying to channel Matte finishes it comes to no surprise that I had to get Diva as well.  They are so similar in shade but Diva has more of a red tone, and I need to try implementing more reds into my lips.  We don't even need to say why I got Violetta, all I gotta say is PURPLE!!  Like I said, I'm still in the process of building up my collection for Mac and will eventually do a post on all of them and swatches etc. 

I also am trying to branch out with Mac and bought a lip liner.  I find with the dark lips on the second day of wear it really bleeds and isn't very cute.  I am hoping that lip liner will help with that!  Nightmoth seems to be the most versatile with the dark colors that I do have.

Target literally had like next to nothing but I did pick this up and me with my hair, I just need to try it!

 I almost picked this up in my last shopping haul and passed because I had so much already.  Grabbed it this time though!  I'm pretty excited to give it a try and let you guys know how I liked them. 

La Senza was having their annual sale~ so I just had to grab some panties while I was at it.  If there's one thing a girl can't have too much of it's these bad boys here.   I just snapped a picture of the back of them.  I am not really a huge fan of thong type but rather the lace that really compliments.  I just like the way it feels.  The middle kind of reminds me of granny panties but I was sold by the print.  You can't go wrong at 3$ per pair either, it's practically a steal.

 Last stop, Lush!  I got the rest of the Toothy Tabs collection so now I can finally complete that post, woop! 

Now I know I said I wasn't terribly impressed with the bath bombs and bubble bars, I also said that I would probably buy again because they're so pretty and impulse shopping is a b****!!!  However, I did like the bath bombs better and majority of these are bath bombs but I just couldn't resist all that GLITTER! Oh and the carrot was too expensive for my liking.  

Now, with everything I got at Lush, I went 3 times in a matter of 3 hours.. lol. I couldn't make my mind up ok!!   The first visit the clerk didn't come across as being very friendly, it felt as though she just didn't want to be there.  I got one sample, and I had to request!  Worst part was that was my biggest purchase too.  Second time I told them what happened and they obviously remembered me and gave me more samples!  The third time was at a separate mall and she gave me 2 samples.  Which was very generous considering I only bought 2 items and they were closing! So now that I have 2 bunches of samples to use up I should probably put a hustle on finishing my first batch and make that post.... ok yeah I'll get right onto that!

I tried to put my concentration on Mac because I really want to build up my collection before showing it.  You know the expression 'A little goes a long way', well that's opposite for Mac, 'a lot goes a little way' and that's just it but I love Mac so it's definitely worth it!  Overall I'm pretty happy with this trip and exciting to use these products!  Oh and my panties teehee~

 

*edit*

 Opened my fridge a little bit after making this post to get a smoothie ready and found these.  It's funny I forgot about these too because it was one of the main reasons I had gone into Lush to begin with.  I've been meaning to get a Lush face mask for a while and was actually super excited to get my hands on these as I've never used a Lush face mask before!!!!! :D
The customer service on this was ridiculous... I had gone up to pay for this and the girl ringing me through asked me if I had bought a mask before to which I replied with no.  Nothing, she completely ignored the fact I said no. What if I don't know how to use this at all?? What if I end up doing something wrong and this not turning out?  This would have been about a 10$ waste.. all because she didn't take 30 seconds out of her shift to explain to me how this works.  I wasn't impressed with this service at all!
Again, with that being said, this was one of the more exciting purchases regardless I know how to use it or not, I'm sure it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out but damn girl, do your job!
