Shopping the Sales Haul

So I was bad again! I've had a talk with myself and I am not allowed to buy anything beauty related for the rest of March and all of April. The only exception is the Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set, if I can find it in stock at my local Walmart.

Now I don't feel overly bad about these purchases because everything was on sale at least 50% off the regular retail price, but one of my goals is to save money for a house and I can't do that if I am buying more and more makeup. 

These purchases were from a few weeks ago so I don't think the same sales are still going on.

 
Revlon Minted - $2 at Dollarama. The perfect mint green polish.

Revlon Blue Lagoon - $2 at Dollarama. A light blue with silver micro shimmer. When I saw this I thought that if Cinderella was a nail polish this is what she would look like.

 
Revlon Star Attraction Pop Tart - $2 at Dollarama. This medium purple shade comes with a magnet on top to create a star pattern.


Revlon Stunning - $2 at Dollarama. This colour is as its name says STUNNING! It has silver micro glitter and holographic medium sized glitter.

Revlon Popular - $2 at Dollarama. A light milky pink with multi sized sliver glitter.


Joe Fresh Single Eye Shadows in Gold Rush and HoneyBell - $1.98 at The Real Canadian Superstore. These were on clearout marked down from $4 a piece. I have never tried Joe Fresh eyeshadows so I decided that now was a good time.


Revlon Shatter Nail Polish Duo - $3 at Dollarama. I have 4 of these Shatter Duos now and will be doing a review soon.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey - $4.99 on sale at RCSS.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie - $4.99 on sale at RCSS.

Covergirl Clean Oil Control Foundation in 510 Classic Ivory - $5.87 on sale at RCSS + I had a $2 off coupon, so this was only $3.87!


Joe Fresh Nail Polish in Starry - $1.98 clearout price at RCSS. This is my first holographic polish and I am so excited to try it out!

I'm back with a Sephora/Target Haul!

Hey ladies, sorry I've been gone so long. This month has just not been good for blogging. I was working a lot at the beginning of the month and then I got the flu which lasted two weeks, then I was out of town. But enough with excuses I'm back and ready to get back into blogging full force.

Last weekend me and the BF went shopping across the border. We went mainly to Christmas shop but I also did some shopping for myself. It was my first time going to Sephora and I did a little damage but not as much as I could have. I just treated myself to a few goodies :)

First stop was Target. I only picked up a few things because I wanted to save my money for Sephora. I found this really pretty Jemma Kidd Neutral Palette on sale for only $18 but I resisted (I did really want it though lol).
I picked up the ELF Tinted Moisturizer to try because my current foundation is almost empty. After trying it on my hand it seems nice. Very lightweight with sheer coverage, but I should be able to build it up without it looking cakey.
On the way to the cash register I saw this EOS lip balm in a pomegranate raspberry flavour. I love these lip balms and a have a few different ones already, but thought this would be a good addition to the collection.

This little Benefit Kit was the main reason I wanted to go to Sephora. I've always wanted to try some Benefit products so I thought this would be the perfect kit. If only I could have walked away with just this.

Sephora is really good at putting little value sets right at the cash register, so while you are waiting to pay you will pick up more things. I've seen reviews of this trio on both blogs and YouTube so when I saw it sitting there calling my name I just had to add it to the basket.

This Tokidoki palette was on sale for only $3 and it contains four purple and silver eye shadows as well as a shimmery pink blush.
The Sephora Smokey Kohl liners were on sale as well so I picked one up in purple and black. They have a really cool triangle shape and I'm excited to try them out.
The mini Urban Decay Primer Potion was at the checkout as well and it easily fell right into the basket. This is a beauty blogger favourite and we'll see if it becomes one of mine.

The sales lady at the checkout counter actually talked me into this and after I bought it I had buyers remorse and kinda wanted to return it. But now that I've got it home I'm glad I bought it. It comes with every form of eyeliner that there is and I am sure it will last me a year before I have to buy another black eyeliner.

This kit has a funny story behind it. I have been researching The Body Shop skincare for sometime and actually had a sales associate talk to me about it but I didn't buy it. At Great Lakes Crossing I spun the Deal Wheel and was given a coupon for $10 off coupon. I almost bought this skincare kit and it was going to cost me $30. I didn't buy it cause I didn't want to spend that much.Then the whole day I talked to the BF about how I should've bought it cause it was a good deal. In Sephora on the clearance rack I saw the same kit for only $19! It became mine super quick and I cant wait to try it out.

I also received a bunch of mini and deluxe samples.
2 deluxe samples of Benefit Hello Flawless Foundation
I deluxe sample of Benefit Eye Cream
Foil packet samples of fresh Soy Moisturizing cream, Skin Foundation, and Sephora brand moisturizer.
 
Overall my Sephora experience was really good and the sales associates were really helpful. I cant want to go back!
