Beauty and Accessories Haul : Ardène, Spring, VS, Forever 21 and Drugstore

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing a little (maybe not that little actually!) haul from my recent trip to Montreal. I hadn't been shopping in a while so I went a little crazy with accessories and beauty products.

Here's all that I got

I didn't get that much makeup, but I went for skin, nails and accessories this time!

- Bag from Spring (30$)
- Wallet from Access (20$)
- Accessories : bracelets, scarf, hair clip and earrings from Ardène, Necklaces from Forever 21
- Skin care : Bioderma, Laroche Posay from Shopper's Drugmart
- Mascara and Makeup wipes from Shopper's Drugmart
- Perfume from Victoria Secret
- Nail polish, base and top coat from Winners

---

On an unrelated topic, I'm moving (yes, again!) very soon. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be moving around mid June in a new building a few minutes away from where I live. It's closer to the university and much much nicer! We haven't had confirmation yet, so I'm anxiously waiting to know if we got it. Wish me luck!

That's all for today :) Hope you enjoyed this Haul!

April 2013 Beauty Favorites!

Hey everyone! Now that April is over, it's time for monthly favorites ♥

April has been quite hectic for me with school and everything, so the month went by super fast. I can hardly believe may is just around the corner already! It's finally getting warmer here in Quebec City so that's definitely making me quite excited for summer. My trimester will be over in just a little over three days, but unfortunately, my summer trimester is starting next Monday :( 
---

Anyway, let's get started with my Beauty Favorites 
  I have quite a few new favorites to share with you all this month :) 

♥ Neutrogena Oil Free Makeup Remover - This is a repurchase, just as gentle and efficient as I remembered! It works great with waterproof mascara too (which I have been into lately).

♥ Equate Facial Cleansing Towelettes - I probably mentioned this a million times on my blog now. I just cannot get enough of these! I was super glad to get these again in April since I had run out and had to get by with another brand for a couple weeks. 

♥ Samani Makeup Brush Cleaner - This is very new to me. I've never had brush cleaner before. I really like this, it gets the product out of my brushes instantly so I can use them to apply multiple colors.

♥ L'Oréal Kids Tangle Tamer - Seems to work ok for detangling (my hair isn't all that tangly usually), but the smell is absolutely fabulous. It smells like yummy pears, it's awesome :D

♥ Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Clear - I've gotten into filling my eyebrows lately (especially if I'm going to take pictures, it looks a lot more put together). This is a cheap and efficient way to keep my brows looking tidy.

♥ Rimmel Scandal'Eyes Kohl in Nude - I love this on the waterline. It makes your eyes look bright and awake. If I'm going for a natural look, I much prefer nude to white. This pencil is super creamy as well, I wish it came in more colors.

♥ Bonne Bell Liplites - Not sure what this one if called but it's  a creamy medium pink color. It smells like vanilla cake, yummy!

♥ NYX Eyeshadow Base in Nude - This is a great primer for eye shadow, it really helps the shadow stick to the lids. I also love that it is tinted because it hides all the little veins in my eyes.

♥ Kiss 05 Lashes - These look great on. They're not too overpowering, but they're still long and dramatic! They're also super comfortable and light.

♥ Sally Hansen Nail Polish in Pacific Blue - I've had this for a couple years now and it hasn't dried up. Love this color for spring :)

♥ Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette - I bought two of these at the beginning of the month. One for myself and one for my giveaway. I have been using mine constantly. I love everything about it! I think I might do a full review about it soon, would you be interested in that? Let me know!

♥ Lush Shampoo Bar in Seanik - I'm super impressed with this! The smell is very nice (even though I was skeptical at first, it seemed a bit salty for a hair product), it leaves my hair feeling super clean and weightless and it rinses off really well. To my surprise it lathers very well too. I love this.

---

And now my Favorite Accessories for this month

♥ Bracelets from Ardène (except the gold bracelet on the left which is from Suzy) - This month I have been loving the combination of gold, white and turquoise. It looks great paired with peach, pink and cream :)

Hair clip from Ardène - I got it from a surprise baggie (Yes my friends and I  still get those 2 for 5$ surprise bags because we're just like little kids :P) Usually we get mostly rubbish from them, (once my friend got an awesome owl necklace though) but this time I got this hair clip. At first I didn't think much of it, until I tried it in my hair. It's is so strong for it's tiny size I can't even believe it. I have a ton of hair and it can hold my bun all day, no hair bands or bobby pins required. I'm getting a million of these for sure!

♥ Necklaces from Forever 21 - The first one is a dainty bow and the other one has an awesome feather on it. I love them because I feel like I can pair these with so many outfits!

That's all for this month's beauty favorites! What were your favorites this month? Let me know! I'm on the hunt for good Spring/Summer bright nail polishes :)

Deal Extreme Haul #2 : Beauty, Nails, Accessories, Cute

Hi everyone! Recently I mentionned that I had made another order on Dealextreme.com! Well, it took a while to get here, but I've got everything so I wanted to show you. Deal Extreme has free shipping, but it does take a while to arrive. In fact, my order was sent in 5 partial shipments over a month period which means many trips to the postal office for me XD It was a bit bothersome, but at least I got everything now.

This is actually my third purchase from DealExtreme, but I didn't post the second one on here because it was mostly Christmas gifts, so I didn't want to receivers to know beforehand what they were getting. Anyway, I love this online store! Check out what I got from DealExtreme in the past : DealExtreme Haul part 1, part 2.


♥ First I got this cute teddy bear cellphone holder! It's super practical and really adorable ♥

♥ Then I got a purple brush holder (it's empty), for when I travel for a short period of time (meaning for when I'm not backpacking. I wouldn't bring this backpacking because it's way too bulky and heavy.) I was really surprised by how sturdy and heavy this product is. I kind of half expected it to be flimsy and cheaply made, but it's really a nice quality. I'm very happy with it and I cannot wait to test drive it when we go to Montreal soon. 

♥ Third thing I got is an awesome sushi-shaped cellphone charm. My phone doesn't have anywhere to attach it to so I use it as a key chain. It's so realistic looking, I love it :)

♥ I also got this Hello Kitty soap dispenser. I use it for dish soap and it looks real cute by the sink in the kitchen. DealExtreme used to carry loads of Hello Kitty merchandise, but they took almost all of it off their website. When I found this, I just had to jump on the opportunity.

♥ I got this cute gold Eiffel tower necklace which was really cheap. As you can tell, I removed it from its chain (it was a really long, brown leather sort of thing which I didn't find very attractive). I want to get a long gold chain for it. For now I use it for decoration on my makeup table :)

♥ I love the bracelet that I got. It's super sparkly even though you can't really tell by the picture. I've been wearing it non stop recently. I've even received compliments on it and it was only a few bucks :) score!

♥ Second to last thing is a bunch of nail art stamping plates. I even got one with an Hello Kitty face on it. I'm sooo stocked! I've been looking for one of these for ages. I can't wait to play with it. Expect loads of nails of the day in the near future :P



♥ Last thing I got is more stamping plates! Actually this is just one super large nail plate with a bunch of different designs. I love that it has loads of all over the nail designs. It has zebra, lace, polka dots, leopard, fruits, bows etc. It got a bit bent during shipping, but it still works properly. I love it and I'm really excited about it. It super large, it's bigger than a sheet of paper. I was really surprised when I received the package since I wasn't expecting it to be this big.

That's all I got from DealExtreme recently. Once again, I'm super pleased with my purchase and I would definitely order again. The partial shipment issue was a bit annoying though. Hopefully it won't happen to me again. (especially since I only ordered 12 items - my boyfriend got a couple of watches). Have you ever ordered from the site? Were you happy with what you got? Let me know in the comments! I'd love to know your experiences.

March 2013 Beauty Favorites

Hello everyone! March is coming to an end so it's time for monthly favorites! This month I have a few really nice new products that I have been enjoying quite a lot recently, a couple repeat favorites and a few items that I have rediscovered! Check out last month's favorites!


- Duo Clear Eyelash Glue : sticks very well and doesn't sting my eyes. It's great!

- Nude Tude Palette : I've mentioned this so many times this month. It's just amazing. Full review

- Sally Hansen Nail polish in Angel Wings : Beautiful opalescent sheer color. Pretty over all of Spring's pastels colors.♥

- Real Techniques Fine Liner brush : my absolute favorite lately for precise wing liner with gel.

- Real Techniques Expert face brush : love it for foundation and blush. Super soft.

- Clump Crusher Mascara : repeat favorite, makes my lashes really big, but not spidery.

- NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk : Great base for colorful looks.

- NYX Lashes in 109 - Rebel : Criss-cross design. Somewhat natural, but noticeable. Easy to apply.

- Hard Candy Bronzer in Tiki : Beautiful golden highlight. Great for a tanned look.

- Maybelline Babylips lipbalm in Grape and Cherry : super soft, a bit glossy and very hydrating
with just a hint of color. These are the berry and red toned ones. They give off a subtle color on the lips. Absolutely adore these!

- Canmake cream blush in a baby pink color : gives off a natural rosy glow. Nice dewy texture.

- NYC Sunny Bronzer : Not too dark. Great for bronzing up when you're very fair.

Wet n Wild gel liner in black : another repeat favorite. Very creamy, black and long lasting.

---

As you can tell from the picture, I also added three pink and gold bracelets which I have been wearing constantly lately. The first one is from Thailand, the middle one is from DealExtreme and the last one is from a local store called Suzy Shier.

That's all for this month's favorites! What were your favorite beauty products this month? Let me know in the comments :)

Beauty Haul : Neutrogena, Hard Candy, OPI, Maybelline, Revlon, Macadamia and more!

Hey there! I've got a haul for you all today yay! (that rimed :p). We went to Montreal for a few days  this week and I went shopping a little bit there so I thought I would show you all what I got. There's a little bit of everything in there since I went to Winners, Dollorama, the drugstore and Walmart.

4 OPI mini polishes (the Mariah Carey collection I believe),  Revlon polish (can't find the color name :S), Babylips in grape (my favourite so far!), Maybelline Color Tatoo in Bad to the Bronze, Hard Candy Bronzer in Tiki and Maybelline The Rocket mascara

New arm candy :D

A new Batiste dry shampoo (seems like a new formula for added volume, seems interesting), Neutrogena Makeup Remover (I've had this before and I like it), Macadamia Deep Repair Mask, a teasing comb and Cosmetic Cotton Swabs,

Cute Hello Kitty plushie because I couldn't help myself :P
I'm pretty excited about all of the products I've got recently so far. Let me know if you'd be interested in a full review of any of these products I'd be happy to do that! I hope you all have a wonderful week ♥

Latest Craft : Friendship bracelets

So I started making these again recently. It reminds me of my childhood and I love the stacked look for summer! It kinda reminds me of the beach and feels super laid back to me, love it! <3

I found this amazing website with a million patterns on it, from fairly simple ones, to crazy, pokeball bracelets! I can't wait to get better and try harder patterns :) So far, I made 7 in three days, I can't stop making them!
