My Birthday

Another late post! Sorry i've been on a roll with late posts lately.

Wanted to share a recap of my Quarter of a Century birthday with you all that was on December 29th. I had two celebrations, both with two different group of friends. I feel that as you get older, doing crazy things is not really on the list anymore, i much rather be spending time with my family and friends. I wasn't ever big on the clubbing scene or the nightlife, but for my birthday i really wanted to try drinking a lot! (which didn't really happen the way i planned).

On December 28th, i had dinner with some friends at a restaurant. Afterwards, we went to a bar for some chatting and we ended up playing some truth or dare pool and darts. It was a really fun night.

On my actual birthday, the bf and i went out to buy some lotto's and scratch cards to test my luck. Out of all that i bought i only won $4....meh...gambling never really worked out for me anyways.
Had dinner at night with some friends, there was a snowstorm that night so a lot of people couldn't make it.
After dinner, we went karaokeing for the night time happy hour. A lot of people left early though, leaving the bf and i there ourselves singing until 3am. It was a good night overall, i just wish it could have been better.

How do i feel being 25? Now let me tell you i started feeling 25 after i turned 24! It's stressful (only because i let stress get to me). I don't want to grow up.

Here are some nifty things i got over the holidays

My co-worker gave me these drying drops by OPI, and wow, they do dry really fast! and a BUTTER nail polish. Heard so many nice things but never tried. I really like the texture, very smooth!

My bf gave me this beautiful MK watch for my birthday. I've been eyeing it fr a while. I love MK watches, i want them all!

A friend gave me this Clinque  eye shadow kit. Lots of lovely colors, haven't tried it yet though.

My girlfriend gave me this Kat Von D makeup book called "venusta impetus" (anyone translate please?). Shape like a book, it looks amazing!

so many pretty colors!

and a hidden lipgloss underneath

 Also my sister in law gave me this beautiful Michael Kors scarf. It's really big and meant to just be put over your head and have that chunky neck scarf look. Haven't used it yet, afraid of it getting dirty!

Lastly, i got my first Lush purchase! I was so excited going into the Lush store. I wanted to get my hands on the holiday bath bombs but they were all sold out.

Instead i got two (buy one get one free) so white bathbombs and they gave me a free angel's delight sample. Can't wait to try out these babies! i wish i had a jacuzzi!

Black Friday Haul

Canada doesn't have Black Friday unfortunately, but some stores were having some deals. They weren't as exciting as the deals in the States, so i didn't end up getting anything that was on sale.

Victoria's Secret was doing a promotion. Spend $75 or more and get a free tote. I thought the tote looked so pretty, and i really wanted some things in there so i just chose that time to buy it. Unfortunately i cannot show you what i bought because some are gifts.

Came with a plush doggie. Super love!

That's the tote that they gave me, it's big and so sturdy! I would actually use it on a normal day if only it has a zipper. for now, it's a perfect shopping bag.

I didn't realize that inside the tote was a bag of goodies!!! Lovely surprise!

sample of VS's Angel perfume, sheer love body lotion, VS's bombshell body spray, and a lip gloss.

I love these goodies, they were full sized too which made me even happier.

This past weekend, i finally went to the Lisa's Cosmetic sale which i go every year. I didn't spend a lot this year though. The best part was finding Cargo makeup palette's for $10!

Electrical tooth brushes, refillable's, AAA batteries, Cargo palette, Escada perfume, shaving gel, hand lotion, and CHOCOLATE for 4 for $1!!!

Last purchase is Cargo's Blu Ray HD press powder. I didn't plan on getting it but i had misplaced my Estee Lauder Pressed powder, so i had to hurry and run out for a replacement.

I'm glad i did actually because i love the Cargo pressed powder so much! It's so smooth and doesn't look cakey no matter how much you pack on. AND it matches my shade perfectly! I am shade #20.

The only downside is that it doesn't come with a powder puff or a sponge. I do not like to carry brushes with me, and i like it when it has a little space where i can keep a puff inside (i know not sanitary).

Other than that, i LOVE it!
