[Haul] Second ELF purchase







My first ELF order was just a set of the studio line brushes, I haven't actually used any of the ELF makeup lines before!  I hear lots of great things about it, first of all it's very inexpensive starting from $1! I'm happy that there is free shipping with a purchase of $35 worth of items, however for Canadians you still have to pay shipping, but instead you pay half of the original shipping price (which is the total shipping price for US residents). Also I bought my items during an additional promotion, where if you make a purchase over $25 you get a free Geo Glam kit/collection. 
This included a pink dump bag, 30 piece geometric eye shadow book, 6 piece geometric  palette, Studio line mascara, eyelid primer, liquid eyeliner and individual eyelash kit.

[Haul] Bonnebell lip products








A few days ago I noticed that Bonnebell cosmetics (best known for amazing scented Lip Smackers) is being cleared from Shopper Drugmarts' shelves, prices should be the same throughout all the stores! The prices range from $0.62 to $4.00! It's a pretty good deal, I rarely every see Bonnebell on sale for these prices in Toronto!  From what I know, Bonnebell is being replaced by New York Color, this doesn't mean Bonnebell is forever gone, I think they will still be available at Wal-Mart.This was also a great opportunity to stock up on my favourite Bonnebell lip lites in the shade Cappuccino, I am currently  trying to find the other shades in Strawberry Parfait and Cherry Berry Kiss, I'm not crazy about the metallic/extremely pearlized shades such as Cream Pop and Vanilla Swirl. However I can't deny that they smell soo good, it has a very sweet scent that  I enjoy but if you are sensitives to such smells then it would be best to skip out on much of the Lip Lites.

Here's the Bonnebell haul! I don't have enough lips for all these lip balms and lip glosses, but don't worry I'm sure my sisters will be taking some as soon as they spot them!

Nails: Essie millionails [UPDATED]

[UPDATED OCT 11/13 - SEE BELOW]

I am currently working at two places right now and it's causing my hands to become really dry. My nails are soft and brittle, it breaks easily and it starting to peel! I was unboxing some new products to put on display and by the end o my shift all my nails either chipped or the top layer peeled off. I couldn't stand looking at my nails like that so I decided to buy the Essie millionails which is supposed to strengthen my nails. Hopefully it works. I'll update again if I notice any results!



Essie Millionails $11.99 at Shoppers Drugmart



-------------------

After 4 months of use my nails have been completely restored. I used the nail hardener on a weekly basis for the first month, after that I consistently used it as a base coat. I definitely see and feel the difference. My nails are quite hard, it doesn't bend much or at all. I managed to keep my nails nice and tidy for 2 whole months without any chipping and breakage! The retail price here is about $11.99 or $7.99 on sale, which is rather pricey. As much as I love it I will continue to find less expensive alternatives!
