Sephora Black Friday haul

Black Friday isn't too crazy over here in Canada, but this year many malls decided to join in on the "Black Friday" madness to get more Canadians to stay within the country to do their shopping. I honestly didn't see many deals, Boxing day is much better. This is my second time getting my hands on the Sephora Black Friday Deals. 

The Sephora I went to opened at 10am an no lineups, because it was a stand alone store. The Sephora at Eaton Centre was open at 6am and all the sales items were gone by 9:30am. (My sister went over to check it out before making her way over to where I was)

I actually bought doubles of each. 

Here is a closer view of the Stila Palette, it was much darker than I imagined. 

The Scrubblet

I recently bought a pack of scrubblet a which can be found on eBay. I found out about this product from a few beauty gurus on YouTube and thought it would be interesting to try out! I tried it out today, it is very soft for the face and feels like a gentle massage! It's so small and cute too and extremely affordable! This also happens to be the exact same scrubblet that can be found in the l'oreal 360 facial wash! The wash is typically $12 here.

Some might think then packaging looks a bit weird, but it's just 2 scrubblets! The back of the package shows the instructions.

Post-Midterm Mini haul

Here is another haul from the end of October! Midterms stress me out and causes me to buy a bunch of random things, in this case beauty products. I also bought a bunch of sweaters too, nothing too special about them but I will also include a picture when I gather them together ^^

I bought more Korean make up again! They are just too cute to resist but I did my best and only bought things that I thought I would need. I bought from a different shop, they didn't include as many samples as the previous shop I bought from! (* Referring to this post Mini Korean Makeup Haul)

The Face Shop  Lovely ME:EX Base in Purple

*It is a base/primer for the face

*It has skin brightening properties (can be seen once applied)

*A light but pleasant floral scent, smells like soap!

*Feels like lotion and makes the skin smooth!

Skin79 Sun Protect BB Pact

I have not used it yet but once I opened it I noticed how it is slightly darker then I expected! However I didn't mind because it matches my (summer) shade! :D It definitely has a yellow tone to it!

My sister pointed out that my name was printed on the back of the tube! It is the name I placed an order with! It was definitly surprising but it was probablyt just a coincidence ^^

The Body Shop at the Eaton Centre held a special shopping event where customers went to play a game. Basically it was a game where the customer would use a puck like object and drop it in a frame and see where it lands. It will lands on a discount or special! I received a coupon that said Buy 2 Get 2 Free.

I have been dying to get body butters so I jumped at the chance! ( gave one to my friend since I wouldn't be able to finish all this)

I am using the Brazil Nut right now! It has a light smell, almost like nutella but more nutty! Doesn't feel extremely greasy and does the job! I LOVE it. I think I should have gotten 3 of those haha. 

Mini Korean makeup haul

Hello, sorry I keep going MIA every month! I am back again and this time I have a haul to share with you :)
I bought these online from legit sources! Sorry for the horrible quality of the photos! I used my phone, it is more convenient to upload to blogger~ Also I am really sorry but for some reason my pictures have been uploaded all upside down! ><

Missha BB Boomer

*It is a face primer

* Has a cream texture unlike the many face primers out there which has a silicone base (It isn't as smooth compared to those)

*Has a luminescent finish to give that extra glow under your bb cream 

BRTC - Jasmine Moist Powder  

(I haven't tried it out yet so I can't say much, but it is supposed to have water capsules in it to keep the skin moist! It sounds rather strange and unrealistic. I guess I will have to try it to fine out right?) 

Missha - Style Perfect Concealer #21 (light)

Missha - Signature Concealer #21

*Has such a pretty packaging!!

And all my lovely samples~ I received so many even blotting papers!

OOTD #1 (budget friendly)

This is my first outfit of the day segment! 

My casual outfit for a hot hot day (such as today). I wore a navy blue chiffon top from Costa Blanca (I'm starting to really like the clothes there), khaki shorts from Winners, braided belt from Forever 21 and my strappy black studded sandals from China. 

Julep Maven boxes

I was introduced to these Julep Maven nail polishes through one of my friends. What caught my eye was the fact that the first introduction box can be bought for $0.01, that's right a PENNY (the original price for a boss is $19.99 + Free shipping for Mavens)! All I did was register by taking the style quiz to determine which box would suit you the best. After the quiz you will formally register by creating a password and inputting emails and such. A confirmation email should appear in your inbox shortly after sometimes it can take up to a day, that's what happened to me.  When checking out use the PENNY code to get the box for a penny! Also the best thing is that this subscription can be cancelled before the 26th/27th of each month, or skipped if you do not like the nail polish colours.

Usually a box comes with 3 items: 2 nail polishes and a cream of some sort + little extras. 

The Classic with a Twist intro box. 

The June box with 2 sugar sticks and a spf lip balm (I didn't know they were going to be added) 

Colours from Left to right: Lauren, Claire, Kelly, Anne

I decided to do my nails with Claire and Anne, and topped it off with Elf's Matte Finisher. I used nail dotting tools to make the circles :3

Anime North 2012

This is my first year going to Anime North, I've been wanting to go since Gr.8 (junior high), but never ended up going because of the timing of the event and I often forgot about it =__=. I knew the convention was around May but was never sure of the date. I only found out the actual date the week of the convention and thank goodness I had no work on Friday so I was actually able to go! 

Here are some pictures, there aren't many ><

Drugstore (Lipstick) Haul

There was a sale at Shoppers & Rexall where Rimmel Long Lasting Lipsticks including the special edition Kate Moss lipsticks were on sale for 2 for $6! I went a little crazy and grabbed a bunch, seriously. I generally love lipstick line, it is my all time favourite! I grabbed majority of the creamy shades, I'm trying to avoid any shimmers, or metallics. Aside from lipsticks I also grabbed some annabelle stuff which were on sale, 2 for $2, and 3 concealers, I forgot to include the GOSH concealer stick.  

(Crush, Guest List, Nostalgia, Just So)

(Paradise, Asia, Heavenly, Royalty)

I honest;y do not think I would look very good in these shades but I just couldn't resist purple-mauve colours :D OMG Heavenly and Royalty look so pretty except I know that I will look absolutely horrible in those >< 

(Rimmel Long Lasting Finish by Kate Moss: 03, 05, 07, 08)

I can't wait to try these all, swatches will be posted later!

Feelings of Spring

The weather is really nice these days and it finally feels like spring/summer. During my day off I went with some friends to take pictures of downtown, mostly around the University of Toronto St. George Campus. I really like taking pictures of older buildings the scenery and general area is simply breathtaking and very peaceful, I could stay here all day! 

2k12 Korean Music Festival

Haven't blogged in awhile but I'm back again... lol

I'm soo soo happy, went out to the first ever Kpop "concert" in Toronto! Featured Apink, TeenTop, G.Na and Brian Joo. I didn't know much about them and the songs they sang but prior to going I listening to their tracks. 

I just screamed and jumped a lot, like any other fangirl lol, except I don't really know them xD

I didn't bring my DSLR but I think I should have.. except if I actually brought it my arm would be extremely sore, more sore than they are right now! I have some pictures and fan cams of course :)

They all performed great live, but some groups are totally underrated which makes me a little sad! 

Also.. I am not that familiar with Brian Joo, I just know he's in the variety shows a lot but as soon as I heard him speak I knew he was American based on his English accent. He is very funny and seems extremely nice as well - he claims that he is old but ... I doubt it lol

Here are some of the picture my sister took!
