I am a shopaholic and I can admit it. Some of my past hauls have been huge and I actually started calling them Hoards lol. I am a stress shopper for sure and I am convinced that that is the worst type of shopper to be. You buy new things to deal with stress, but when the high of buying wears off you become stressed again and therefore shop again. It's a vicious vicious cycle.
Over the past few weeks my stress levels hit an all time high, and I had many online shopping carts full of stuff. I never actually bought anything but the hours I spent filling them seemed to help. Then I quit my job and the stress melted away. I've had time to blog and really realized the reasons that I started blogging in the first place. Now when I'm stressed I take some pictures and write up a blog and I don't feel stressed anymore.
So here is my last stress induced haul.
This belt bracelet is so cute and I've wanted it ever since I saw it in a haul on Chelsea Morgan Beauty Blog. I saw it at H&M for only $6.95 and had to make it mine. It is going to look really cute with my watch and bead bracelet.
I finally found shoes to wear with the dress I showed a picture of a few blog posts ago. These are the perfect pewter colour to go with my dress and the height of the heel works with the dress and I can actually walk in them. These would also look cute with skinny jeans.
Got my hands on some Essence Beauty products from Shoppers Drug Mart. I've heard great things about this brand and at such cheap prices if I don't like it then it wasn't a huge investment.
This is blush number 10 Adorable. It is a really pretty light pink colour.
I was going to get some single shadows but thought I would just try the quad out to see how I like the formulation. I decided to stick it safe with a neutral palette.
If you've tried anything from Essence what you recommend for my next buy??
I love that H+M bracelet! do you think I'd still be able to find one in store?
ReplyDeletebtw, good for you for quitting your unhappy job situation. I did that a while back and would never go back to an office environment like the one I was in. Life is too short to be miserable!

Thanks for the support! I agree I'm never going to go into an environment as toxic as the one I was in ever again.
DeleteI just bought the bracelet a few days ago at the H&M in Windsor and they had a few silver ones left. I'm to sure if every store will have them. I hope you can find one cause they are super cute!
: )
I am a stress shopper too! When I have been stressing about something... after it's over I feel like I need to go shopping for a release of that built up emotion! Love what you got though.. you should try one of essence's eye shadows.. I think it's called party all night.. it's beautiful and you can't beat the price!

I looked up swatches of party all night and it's such a pretty colour! Thanks for the recommendation.
DeleteNice. I'm just an irrational shopper. If I see what I think is a good deal, I have to have it. God help me. :`( I didn't think you did too bad though. :) Loveee that bracelet and the shoes! Essence lip glosses, the 2.49 ones are REALLY good. I love when cheap products are good! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation! I might have to go pick one up and try it out.
DeleteI love "Party all Night" as well! It's a gorgeous color! I also really like their lips sticks:)
ReplyDeleteI may have to check out the lipsticks as well! Thanks so much for commenting!
