Another Haul?

I had the entire day off today, so my mother and I went to do a little shopping. It's my brother, Vincent's, birthday on the 17th. He's turning 22. What an old man. We went to look for a new backpack for him, since his is getting really dirty and old. Gross.

I suggested that we go to West Edmonton Mall, because it does have every store imaginable. We all know that I was secretly wanting to go to sephora though...

Turns out... we couldn't find a suitable backpack at either Atmosphere or SportChek. Meh. I bought more make up with my VIB discount, and I finally redeemed 500 points for the beauty point perk! It comes with a full size of the BUXOM lash! They didn't have this set on Wednesday, the last time I went. I might just go return the Buxom lash I bought, because I don't need two. I really don't know when I'm going to be able to use up all of these mascaras. Maybe if I blog more, I'll do a fun make up look for each post. lol! That's a fun way to use up my make up...

After buying a couple pairs of practical boots for the cold winter climate, my mom and I stopped at costco for gas. I've never seen such bad drivers on the road. It was rush hour by this time, so we stopped inside to shop for a bit. I ended up getting a gel memory foam matteress topper! Yay! Haha, I was so excited that I put all my sheets and blankets to wash because I don't want it to get dirty. xD

Yay for clean sheets and fluffy blankets!

We also found a decent looking backpack! Score! Mission complete. lol.

I spent the rest of the night cleaning my room, because I haven't had the chance to since school started... needless to say, it was a nightmare. I finally have some walking space in here!

Anyways, I'll get to the pictures! Hehe, pictures are always the best part.

Collective view of the cosmetics I purchased today

Close up of the lipfusion infatuation christmas set. It's such an excellent deal! $31 for 2.5ml x 4! That's 10ml worth of glosses for the cost of one 5.5ml full size!

This set comes with the colors First Crush, Screen Siren, Angelic, and Lollipop (l/e).

I've been eyeing Screen Siren for a while, an this set is perfect! The glosses have a semi-opaque coverage. They're so gorgeous. :)

I don't know what it is, but I have an obsession with lip glosses/lip products. When I saw this set, I knew I had to have it. It was out of stock on Wednesday, but it came back in stock today! SO HAPPY! There are all full sizes. The lip balms are to DIE for. I love the Jasmine one, although it doesn't really smell/taste like Jasmine. I tried on the lightest pink shade of the gloss, and it's is GORGEOUS. It smells and tastes like cherries to boot! They use cherry oil in the glosses apparently. LOVE IT. All this for $51 CAD, normally $124 CAD. I'm in love.

I also bought the Stila eye kajal in topaz for the waterline yesterday. My friend who does photography said that the white on the waterline looks too unnatural in photos. I tried it on for a coworker, and she pursuaded me to get it because I "look[ed] so cute". I don't really like this particular eyeliner, because it has no staying power on the waterline what so ever! Oh well.

In this picture, there's the Bare Escentuals box set that I got for my beauty insider points. It comes with the pink cosmetic bag, a mini brush, a mini face powder, a mini lipgloss (BEST glosses), and a full sized buxom mascara!

Last, but not least, I picked up the MUFE feather lashes because they looked so fun. The longer I stay in Sephora, the more things I want. I also got a bottle of the DUO lash glue in clear, because it's only $10 for 14ml. The one I get from London drugs is $7 for 7ml.

That pretty much concludes my haul from today (& I guess yesterday as well). I'll put some fun camwhoring pictures now! he he

I love doing make up at night right before I go to wash my face.

This is just a really intense smokey eye I decided to do. :)

Oh! I also bought this faux fur stole from H&M. I love it. hehe

Okay, I hope you all enjoyed this post! It's time for me to go to bed... maybe. lol!

HAUL!!

Okay, SOOOOO I suck at keeping up with my blog. I just lose track and forget.

School started up and we're almost done the first semester. I'm enjoying my studio courses (esp. the photoshop one), but I hate art history. =[ I have to catch up on studying this long weekend... I need to pass.

Overall, it's been a pretty chill semester. I haven't been hanging out in CAB, because Teresa is never there anymore, and I feel like I don't have time to do anything! My friends get mad at me because I'm either busy doing homework, or else working. It's nice right now, because I work about 15 hours a week. I love working for Shoppers Drug mart... Haha, we'll see if I still love it after the Christmas season.

That reminds me, I got my first customer complaint! ARGH! Haha, but I totally deserved it. I was withholding some limited edition stuff (the last ones!) and I told her that I couldn't sell it to her because I called it. >_> Yeah, stupid greedy me.

ANYHOW, lets get to the main reason why I wanted to blog today: HAUL!!!

I've been in a crazy shopping mood this past week, and basically went berserk.

It doesn't hurt when it's the 20% VIB sale at sephora too... (okay, maybe it hurts my wallet a little bit.)

I just looked at my credit card statement, and it looks like I'm almost at my max!

EEP!

PICTURE TIME!!

Group picture of what I got today (Nov. 10, 2010)

The Naked Pallete ($52 CAD) up close. I bet you've all seen it before! lol

Since I got the last one off the shelf... the plastic was all cracked, and this wasn't put together nicely. :( It made me sad... but at least I have the palette, I guess!

I also got Bare Escentuals' Buxom Lash ($23 CAD), Nars Eyeshadow Primer ($29 CAD), as well as UD Skyscraper Mascara ($26 CAD).

The last thing I got from Sephora is the Phytodefrisant ($28 CAD)! I got a sample of this a long time ago, and I fell in love with it. It makes my hair nice, smooth, shiny, and straight without the use of a flat Iron. I haven't touched my CHI in a month or so.

Next, I went to Lush to get a Seanik Shampoo Bar (not pictured), as well as the BIG shampoo. I'm so excited to try this. It better be good, since it's $23!!

On Sunday, I picked up the QUO Professional Brush set ($100 CAD). in the Holiday Edition. SUPER cute, and the brushes are SO SOFT. It was on sale for 40% off! :D

I also picked up a few drugstore stuff! Revlon Eyelashes ($6 CAD), Tweezerman lash comb ($10 CAD), 3 L'oreal hip Chrome liners ($7 CAD/each), and a maybelline blush ($5 CAD) !

I also picked up a couple boxes of my favorite My Beauty Diary sheet masks from T&T. ($15 CAD/Box)

OKAY, other than make up I also got a few other things!

I couldn't resist bath and body works. Everything just smells so amazing there. I picked up 2 3-wick candles ($22.50 CAD each).

I dropped by michael's the arts and crafts store to pick up a couple marker pads for drawing/using my copics on. They were $20 and $18.

And then I got this scarf from Bluenotes. Lol! It was 30% off, and I had my SPC card, and got another 15% off... Which made it $6. Haha! Deals FTW. (Sorry for my deathly pale face, Im just about to go to bed).

I honestly might go back to West Edmonton Mall to pick up a few other things that I didn't have time to look at or get... American Apparel has a 20% off sale as well! I forgot to go in there! I also have to check out murale to see if they have the perfume that Sephora doesn't have! I really want the Viktor and Rolf Flower bomb. :/

Ahhh well... I'll keep spending my money. >_<
