Mini Sephora Haul

I wasn't planning on buying anything from Sephora because I've been trying to save for my Hong Kong trip, but they sent me an email for V.I.B's appreciation weekend
saying that if you spend a minimum of $35, you will get a free gift pack. And of course i cannot pass up on these type of goodies because i LOVE gift sets with everything random inside. Lancome, and Elizabeth Arden gift  with purchases always gets me too.

Anyways, i couldn't really decide what to buy since i didn't want o go totally over $35 even though there are SOOOO many things i want from Sephora that i'm not willing to spend so much on at the moment.
I picked up the Urban Decay Primer Potion. Can you believe i still haven't tried this yet? Maybe it's because i haven't been wearing a lot of eye makeup this year. Too lazy to put on makeup when all i'm doing is being stuck at work. No one to impress LOL...sigh... So i finally bought it in their new packaging and tried it once. I really like the formula.

Another thing i got was the mini Urban Decay All Nighter Spray. I've heard so much about this product from Guru's on Youtube and always wanted to try it. But i was a bit hesitant on spraying weird stuff on my face when my skin is highly sensitive and can breakout almost instantly. So i bought the tiny bottle to try and i used it once. It really does keep your makeup on for a long while. I used it on a really hot day when i was outdoors almost most of the day, and although it didn't keep the shine away, my makeup didn't melt away as fast as it usually would under hot weather.





I love how the gift comes in such a cute box, i can imagine putting some jewelry in there.


The gift came with 8 samples, and their size is just too cute!

Nars Pore Refining Primer
Laura Mercier Mascara
Stila Lip gloss
Phytolisse serum for hair
Fat Girl Slim skin firming lotion
Miracle Worker anti aging moisturizer
Benefit perfume
Tokidoki perfume (cute tiny little roll on bottle)


Haven't used ANY of these yet. i'm really bad with samples, especially the cute packaged ones. I never want to use them and want to keep them forever....

Also, i found these at shoppers...


Milk and white chocolate fish and chips! How awesome is that! There are milk chocolate fishes and white chocolate shaped as fries!!! Love white chocolate! <3

Weekend mini haul

Sephora had their 15% OFF promotion for beauty insiders going on and i was excited to pick up some stuff. Jeeez i wanted everything, but i had to remind myself to save :(
they also gave out a free Sephora tote for V.I.B. members, and i was happy to get one.

I bought a new Clarisonic replacement brush since mine was due for a change. I got the one for sensitive skin since it's softer.



I also got Boscia's green tea blotting papers since my Mary Kay one was running low. I heard great things about these and since the packaging was so cute, i just had to pick one up.


The cashier lady also gave me a free sample with my purchase. It's a Clinique 3 step face wash kit. It's actually quite big, really like the size, and it will last me 4 days since they put the 3 products in like pill tablets where you have to pop it out. It's cool.


And of course, the free Sephora tote, made out of vinyl? 


Also stopped by at shoppers drug mart to pick up a "dry shampoo" since everyone's been talking about it, i just had to try it. I know it's not good to wash your hair everyday, and this is for when you just need to skip a day, don't have time but your roots are oily, just spray in sections, massage it in with your fingers just like how you would when you are actually washing your hair and then comb it out. It actually works, i just don't like how it turns my hair into a darkish grey color on the parts that i sprayed. Maybe i didn't do it right?



My boyfriend and i always go out for dinner on the weekends, and after dinner he and i always like to go grocery shopping, just to browse around or just to walk off the dinner. We happened to be near a T&T and we picked up some really cute Japanese candies. I loveeeee Japanese sweets, they are so yummy. Especially  their cute chocolate. I swear i can live off them like how L can live off sweets.
