"A Little Bit Of Everything" Haul

Heeey, I'm baaack!!

I'm so sorry about the past few weeks..I wasn't posting as much "fun" stuff as usual because of some problems I had and had to deal with some things, but I'm allllll better now and ready to get back on track with my blog!

I've missed posting on here and so I felt like a nice collective haul would be perfect! Haha

I have 2 thrifted pieces, some [amaaazing] jeans that weren't thrifted, makeup, a new phone, and a nail polish! I obviously didn't buy all of this at once, but I decided to wait until I got more stuff to post one big haul! Anyways, I'll get started now!

**All prices are in CANADIAN DOLLARS**



T H R I F T E D

$2.99

I looove this shirt! I don't wear it buttoned up because my chest area is too big..i'm not saying I have big breasts, at all! just thant it's a size extra small and I'm usually a small! Hahaha!

$1.99

This shirt was brand new! It had the tag on it and the size sticker! I LOVE superheros if you didn't know that already, I'm kiiind of nerdy, so I was amazed when I saw this!!

A M E R I C A N    E A G L E

On sale for $29.99 (used to be $59.99!!)

I'm in looove with these!! They have that "wet" or leathery look to them, but in reality they're just shiny. They're amazing and hugs your legs and booty soo well!! Haha, that might have been tmi, but you know what I mean!


P H O N E

 

Yaaay!!!!! IPhone 4S!! Haha, I'm not gonna say how much I paid because I had to upgrade from my [crappy] blackberry, and that was kiiind of expensive, but I paid myself, so it's not like I'm suuuper spoiled and that my parents paid for it or anything! Buut I'm soooo happy I upgraded! Iphones are waaaay better than blackberries!! JS! I also got a shiny pink case, cuz..you know! It was pink and sparkly, and I can't resist pink and sparkly things! Gaaah!

M A K E U P / B E A U T Y / N A I L S


$8.89

I never really got into the "fill in your eyebrows" look, but lately I've been wanting to try it! I just bought this today so I'm not sure if I like it, but if I do I'll surely include it in my November favorites or maybe a review. 

 
$1.99

Again, I bought this for my brows, but I tried it and it's too dark, so I might just use it for eyeliner. And even if I don't like it for that purpose, it was only $1.99 so I don't really care.

 
$1.99

I LOOOOOOVE THIS!! I bought it because I always wear a bronzy color on my lower lashline, but I used to use eyeshadows, so I figured I would try this when I saw it. And it's great!! The texture is not the absolute best, but for $1.99, I'd say it's amazing!! And it's pretty pigmented!

I'm not sure how much I spent on this but it was not more than $9.00

I actually don't recommend this, it smudges throughout the day, so if you want a nice gel liner, I'd recommend splurging to get one with longer lasting powers!

Swatches of the eyeliners:
(From top to bottom) : Maybelline Gel Liner, Wet N' Wild Coloricon eyeliner in Copper, NYC Kohl eye and brow liner in Taupe

(Instagram photo..[my username is myrbear], you should follow me! ;) haha!)

$8.99

Alright, so I thought these were only sold in the United States, buuut, I found them at my local drugstore and I HAD to get it!! It was the only one left, so I got really lucky! They all smell sooo nice but my favorite is the vanilla one! Soooo good!

 
$9.99

This is a really nice blood red color if you apply 1 coat, but it's buildable to an oxblood type of color! GO BUY IT RIGHT NOW IT'S AMAZING!!!!


Aaaalright! I'm done now! Haha! Apart from the Maybelline eyeliner, I recommend everything included in this haul! Well, for the thrifted things, I recommend you go thrifting! Hahaha!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I promise I'll post more!!!

Thanks for reading/following/commenting! Keep the love coming! <33

NOTD #4

Haaaiiiii!!

How is everyone? :) I'm doing well..not that anyone asked..haha!

But anyways, I'm back today with my 4th NOTD post!! :)

OPI Nail Polish in Every Month Is Oktoberfest 

I'm. In. Love. With. This. Color!! Aaah!! I can't stop staring at my nails! Haha, In the picture above, they look purple, but depending on the lighting, they can be burgundy. Which I like. We all know how big burgundy (or oxblood) is this season. It's probably my favorite Fall trend ever!! I'm obsessed! 

But yes, I got this on sale for $7.99 (canadian dollars) at a local drugstore and it's fantastic! I love OPI and they never disappoint me!

Here are some other photos with different lighting:

Aaaaalrihgt, I could go on and on about how much I loove this nail polish, but I'll stop myself here. So that no one dies of boredom! haha

As always, and sorry for sounding like a broken record in every post, thank you sososo much for following/commenting/reading :) 

I just reached 40 followers!! ^^ and i know that sounds like a joke to some people, but it's a very big accomplishment for me :) I never expected this blog to be a success!!

August Favorites/Empties

Hellooo! :)

YAAAY! August is finally coming to an end! I know a lot of you are probably hating me for saying this, but I don't really enjoy the heat all that much. I just can't wait to wear sweaters, and boots, and scarves! 

But yes, right, August favorites! Let's go!

Just a warning, I don't have a lot of things to show this month, everything I am showing is not new, just products I've been trying to use up since I was saving money for my "back-to-school" shopping (if ya know what i mean..haha!)

E M P T I E S:

#1

Revlon Colorstay in Top Coat
Best.Top.Coat.Ever! Well, from what I've tried anyways. It makes any nail polish super shiny and keeps the    polish from chipping for at least a week. Now, this isn't extra empty, but I can't use it anymore because the brush won't reach the product anymore and even if it would it's all gloopy and annoying to work with. I have already bought another one of these and used it this morning..I still love it as much! <3

#2:
Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream Moisturizer
Alright, sooo, I have very weird skin..It gets very dry in the winter time, and somewhat oily in the summer time. I purchased this in February and it was perfect for dry skin. As summer came around, I wasn't sure it would still be any good for the oiliness of my skin, but it worked! I love this! I also repurchased it.

#3:
L'Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes
Yaaay! This is the first mascara I've actually finished! I usually just keep buying and buying new ones because I get tired of every one I try and just throw out them out. But this is just amazing! I know I did a review on the 24H power mascara and said that that was my favorite, but for some reason I just keep coming back to this one. It's just better. The wand doesn't pick up too much product, but it makes the best difference in the appearance of your lashes! They are seriously like 10x better looking! Js! haha..And of course I repurchased this too (:

F A V O R I T E S:

#1:

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
Alrighty, I bought this in June and hated it! But I tried it again in the beginning of August and I just love it now! It goes on very smoothly and makes your skin look and feel super soft. It has buildable coverage, which I like, and the color actually matches my skin color! (I'm very pale so this is a miracle!).  Also, it's not too pricey, I think I paid $10 (Canadian) for it. Ah-mazing!

#2:

L'Oréal Paris Color Infallible Eye Shadow in Iced Latté
The color of this eyeshadow is just soooo amazing! I bought this for myself on my birthday (in May) and I didn't use it all that much back then, but I've worn the hell out of this this past month! It lasts all day and makes your eyes pop! Gorgeous!

#3:
Revlon Colorstay Mineral Blush in 030 Roseberry
I just recently got into blush. I never used to wear it because I have naturally flushed cheeks..or at least I used to. I noticed earlier this month that my skin looked dull and noticed it was because the redness of my cheeks has finally decided to leave! Haha, it was annoying because if I wore blush, my cheeks just looked like they had exploded or something..which isn't a good look. So now that my face looks even paler, I've been wearing blush almost everyday. This one is really pretty and isn't too bright or too pale, just perfect. I got it for free with a foundation I had purchased in the beginning of the year and I had never even opened it. So basically it's a new product for me! Haha.

#4

Material Girl Heart Shirt
Okay I'm obsessed with this shirt! No but really, it's just so cute and it goes with everything, even my dark green colored jeggings! (nothing goes with those..well except this! haha). But even better, I only paid $10 for it! And even if it would have been like $40, I still would have gotten it!

#5:

Bath And Body Works Fragrance Mist in Country Chic
Omg this smells so cute! Haha, I loved it so much I went and bought the full sized too! Haha, I just like this a bit more because I can bring it in my purse with me. It's just a very girly, floraly scent that brightens up you and everyone around you (:

Kay, that's it for the beauty/fashion favorites, but I do have some other favorites to show you (:

Movie:

Ooooooh my god!!!! I LOOOVE this movie!! The acting was not the best, but it wasn't bad bad either. What I really liked about this movie is just the whole idea! So cool!! If you haven't watched this and you have netfilx, GO WATCH IT! It's so good! Plus, Justin Timberlake is a bonus! Hahaha, I'm sorry..he's just very good looking okay?

Songs:

I know I didn't write any song for Mayday Parade, but honestly I like every song they have out! They're very good!
Also, I know that small bump is about pregnancy, and I hate pregnancy (scarred from grade 9 science....hahahaha!!) but it's just a good beat!! 

Alrighty, that's everything for this month, but I promise I'll have like 10x more stuff in the September Favorites! 

Thanks so much for reading/commenting/following! You guys are the bestsss!!  (: *virtual hug*

USA Haul Part 2: Beauty, Accessories And Everything Else (:

Howdy Y'all! 

Hahaha, sorry, I felt like sounding like a hillbilly or something!



Soo, it's time for part two of my big haul!! Like I said in part one, I did not get to go to MAC..which is probably a good thing since I might have spent all my money there! lol

But anyways, I'll start now!




1. Butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in The Black Knight
2. NYX Nude on Nude Palette (I bought this instead of the NAKED palette because I wanted more things at Ulta and only had 60$ left!! haha)
3. NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Boho Chic
4. Forever 21 grey over the knee socks (knee high for my long legs! X) )
5. Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner in Black
6. Goody Hair Elastics (LOVE the leopard ones)
7. Victoria's Secret Mints
8. Extra Gum in Rainbow Sherbet (beats my previous fave: juicy fruit!!)
9. Not Your Mother's Frizz Control Hair Cream (i loved it so much the first try i decided to stock up and go back for a second the next day! haha)
10. Maybelline Baby Lips in Grape Vine
11. Zigi Soho Black Studded Loafers  (in looove)
12. Not Your Mother's Way To Grow Shampoo & Conditioner
13. Lush Eau Roma Water Toner 
14. L'Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
15. Conair 6 1/2" Hair Thinning Sheers (my sister cuts my hair)

I also bought some rings and a headband but I forgot to take pictures of them, but I'm sure you'll see them in future OOTD's and whatnot! 

Alrighty, that took some time to edit [the pictures]! Whew! Haha, but I won't get into detail for these products because I'm sure I'll have reviews for some of these and that most of them will be in my September favorites (as it is too late for them to be in August Favorites).

But anyways, thanks for reading as always,

and have a wonderful day!! ^^

NOTD #3

Hello hello!

The other day I was watching this video by MissJenFabulous on youtube, and really liked the feather nail she did. I don't have any nail art pens so this was trickier for me but I managed ok..I think! haha.


So this is how mine turned out. I personally like it because it is very messy, almost abstract. 

I cannot stop staring at my nails! I just love these!!



The colors I've used are Sally Hansen Xtreme... in Mint Sorbet, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Blue-Away, and the feathers are painted with Orly's Naughty (yet again!). I really like this color combination but you could choose any colors you feel like using! I will definitely try this with different colors next time (:

The design takes a bit of practice since it is a bit difficult if you're using a small paintbrush like I did. But I think it would be very easy with a  nail art pen. I just took the smallest paintbrush I have and drew a line, then tapped on little lines on each side. 

But overall, I reeeally like these and will definitely be doing this again in the future. I will probably do another NOTD if I decide to re-create this look in different colors (:

**Little Note: I will be gone from tomorrow (the 19th) to Wednesday (the 22th). I will probably not post anything while I'm there, but I will do a week in photos/vacation in photos when I get back and probably a haul since I know I'm going to shop till I drop! Hahah!

But until Thursday, I hope you all have a wonderful week and don't forget to smile and have fun (: 
(that was a run on sentence! haha)

NOTD #2

Hello beautiful people (:

Did that sound creepy? I hope not, because that was not my intention..haha!

But anyways, I just painted my nails and thought I'd do a Nails Of The Day since this color is gorgeous! 


Please excuse the clutter in the back..I just realized..woopsies!

Orly [mini] Nail Polish in Naughty.

I got this color for Christmas in a set of 5 mini nail polish. All the other colors are very Christmasy, but this one is wearable whenever. I loove this vampy, dark red color, especially for Fall, which is kind of why I decided to paint my nails with it today. It was a rather chilly day in my small town and thought this color was appropriate for the weather. 

Dark nail polish is making a comeback this Fall season, or so I read in magazines. Personally, I am very happy about this continuing trend, since dark nail polish is my favorite! I love the blacks, navys, but especially my dark reds! And this one is just perfect!

I know Orly isn't available everywhere, but I do know a very good dupe for this. N.Y.C (new york color) nail polish in Lincoln Center. If you do not have access to N.Y.C either, I think Essie's Wicked would be close but I`m not 100% sure, as I do not own this color. I've only seen it in stores.

Well, that's all I have to say for today but I will be back tomorrow with My Week In Photos. I`m very exited to post it, I started writing it earlier and I really like it so far. 

But thanks again for reading/following my blog. It really means the world to me <3 !

NOTD #1

Hello hello!! Look who is on schedule for the first time (: so proud of myself  ^^  hehe

But anyways, today was a pretty busy day so I didn't have time to do a super long blog post like "what's in my purse"..which I plan on doing shortly! So right now I am watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians while eating mozzarella cheese (my favorite) and writing this blog post.

But anyways, let's begin! (:


Quo by Orly in Turquoise Moonlight

Today, I decided to get out of my lazy rut (I'm not even sure how to write that..sorry) and paint my nails again. I pulled out this lovely from my nail polish box and fell in love with it all over again! This was my go to winter shade, and since I miss winter (I'm sorry, I just really like the cold), this shade seemed absolutely perfect! 

This beautiful blue has green reflects and lots of sparkles! It gives sort of a mermaid-y feel, according to me anyways, but I'm weird, so don't judge me! haha! But this is definitely one of my favorite nail polishes of all time. Now, I don't think the Quo nail polishes are available anywhere else than Shopper's Drug Mart, which I think is only in Canada, so I apologize, but I figure these are available on e-bay or other online stores. 

Also, I would like to thank everyone who followed my blog this past week! I am so happy I am getting noticed and knowing that people actually read me! It's just so cool (: THANK YOUUU!! I love you all and am sending virtual hugs to you ^^ not in a creepy way though!

So, i think that's all I have to say, and I will talk to you guys in the future! ^^

Until then, stay happy ! (:
