Grunged Rose

Yesterday I went for some Japanese AYCE (All You Can Eat) with two of my good friends! 

Too bad I couldn't take any pictures of the food, that's how hungry I was.

Here is what I wore out! 

Grungy

Black Toque - XXI $5

Denim with Heather Sleeves - XXI $40

Green and White Plaid - American Eagle Outfitters 

Charcoal Sweater - XXI $10

Leggings - Suzy Shier (gift)

Brown Combat Boots - Call It Spring $40

An ideal outfit to eat and give some leeway for my "food baby" LOL.

Something about this outfit oozes out a grunge style. 

Maybe it's just me but the whole plaid paired with denim.

I honestly didn't know where I was going with this, all I knew is that I wanted to be warm.

Layering is a must here in Canada!

I was quite warm and my leggings allowed for some thermal regulation without me being too warm or too cold!

When I got home I decided to paint my nails since they finally grown to a length which I'm happy about.

Revlon 161 - Teak Rose

I would've painted a brighter colour but the weather has been off and on.

It's not really that dark nor it is lighter than shown in the picture.

I kinda like it because it can go well with any of my outfits.

Till next time lovelies<3

Hello Haul!

I recently just got paid and I decided to get a little bit of goodies for myself! To be fair most of these items were essentials... Okay fine, most of these items were impulsive purchases and some were essentials. I just can't help it, I literally want everything I see! It's so unfair hahah! Although I am going to be saving up so I can finally purchase my IKEA dresser and post a room tour video!
Here are the few goodies that made my debit card sad BUT made me happy =)

Earrings - Ardenes

Sunglasses & Bow - H&M

I got these three pairs of earrings at Ardenes!

They had their usual sale for 3 for $10

When I saw these three I just had to get it!

I know the black stone with gold plating is pretty much the same as the aqua one

but there wasn't really another pair that caught my attention like the aqua ones!

The crystal mashed up diamond earrings reminded me of my old pointy ones that I lost at a party.

When I saw these pair I thought it would be a great "replacement"

I've been wanting a bow for quite a long time actually.

I just never brought myself to look for one.

I finally got to purchase one at H&M for $4 or 5 I'm not too sure.

It's leather material and a nice simple colour, black!

I can't wait to wear it! 

I'll be sure to post some pictures soon!

When I first saw these bad boys I literally flipped!

The sunglasses' shape makes it seem so simple but the gold design at the corner gives it a hint of classy on it!

It was pretty cheap too since I got it for $8! 

I've been going a little crazy on sunglasses.

I guess I'm just excited for all the sunshine this Summer!

Here's an overview of Friday's purchases!

Neutrogena Sunscreen Lotion - Superstore $15

This product was recommended by Angelina in her make up routine video!

You guys should check her out!

I bought this product because I thought I needed more protection from the UV rays!

The thing that I absolutely adore about this product is that it doesn't have the sunblock smell nor residue!

It is very ideal when you want to put on make-up without feeling like you're wearing too much on your face.

Also a bonus it won't cause breakouts :)

St.Ives Exfoliating Green Tea Scrub - Superstore $6

Originally I wasn't supposed to get this.

However when I read that it had Blemish Control on it I just had to try it!

Lately I've been getting break outs here and there and I thought 'hey, why not give it a try!'

I mean I have nothing to lose because Green Tea is the best when it comes to fighting acne!

It gets rid of redness because green covers redness really well and can soothe inflammations from those nasty zits!

I'll be sure to do a review on this!

Annabelle Lip Liner in Buff - Superstore $4-5?

I was supposed to get this a long time ago but I forgot it in my shopping basket.

I really like the nude-beige colour it has.

It got really well with my other lipsticks so I'm quite happy on this purchase!

(This is my first lip liner!)

Revlon 730 - Valentine $4

Okay I know. 

I should probably stop buying nailpolish.

I can't help it!!

The colour is a nice deep but rich red. 

If that makes any sense?

Nivea Invisible Deodorant - Superstore $3

I absolutely adore anything Nivea!

This deodorant works so well!

It protects your white tee's from those nasty yellow stains

and it gives you a nice scent when you sweat hahahah!

St.Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Cleanser - Superstore $5

I wasn't even supposed to get the exfoliating scrub, I was originally supposed to get this however when I went to buy it they ran out of this product so I ended up buying the scrub instead!

This stuff works like magic, I KID YOU NOT!

I had a pimple near my eyebrow and when I used this cleanser it was gone the next day!

Definitely doing a duo review with the scrub and cleanser since they're the same line. 

Crest 3D White Mouth Wash - Superstore $7

Since I got the toothpaste I might as well get the mouthwash :)

Daisy Print Bikini Top - XXI $12

I'm a sucker for daisy/sunflower printed anything!

I think I mentioned this before.

When I saw this I absolutely positively had to get this!

Besides my bikini top is way too small now... LOL.

(These aren't excuses okay!)

Long Black Cardigan - H&M $20

This was on sale from 40 to 20!

I feel like I'm the worst when it comes to sales.

If I see it's on sale I immediately have to get it.

Hope you guys enjoyed this haul :)!

Let me know what you think about my purchases!

Peace lovelies<3

LATE HAUL!

I know I'm so bad at keeping track on what I need to post but this is yet another late post! I said you guys can expect a "purchase" post or what some people call it: a haul! This haul contains purchases from last week of January to March 1st! Most of my items that I bought are dedicated to the upcoming warm seasons such as Spring and Summer! So brace yourself, this post is quite long :)!

SHOES

Chunky Strap Platform Sandals - Zara $60

I know they're a bit dirty at the top because I wore them on Saturday at a dinner with my girl friends. 

We walked on chalky pavement to burn our food babies LOL. 

I'm absolutely in love with these chunky sandals.

I saw a similar pair at Little Burgundy and it was $100. 

This was a long time ago and since then I was trying to find a similar style and this one shows up!

The thing that I absolutely love about these are the straps!

I have been collecting chunky shoes and I'm going to admit my ankle gives in sometimes.

The wedges are so hollow inside that it can make anyone wobble and stumble. 

The straps on these sandals prevent the wobbling and flinches of falling!

(Although I did trip on some rocks which could ultimately explain the chalk on the tip of the sandal)

Brown Slip Ons - H&M $3

Yeah the red stickers are the mark down price!

I hate when H&M does that, it's so hard to peel it off.

You guys can probably see the strings wrapped around my ankles.

This just secures my foot in the slip ons because they're actually one size up.

I just had to get them.

What I did was cut up one of my cat's cradle string and just use it for my ankles!

These will be perfect to wear in the Spring and Summer!

Chunky Shiny Heel Wedges - H&M $3

Can you guys believe the price?! This was originally $50!!

Again these heels are one size up but I know I'm probably going to wear thick socks with these or even layer some of my tights! 

The size difference isn't that noticeable, that's mainly why I got it.

Oh and I've been eyeing it every time I go to H&M!

I absolutely adore the look and the glossy wedge heel because it gives my outfit some personality

TOPS

Sunflower Turtle Neck Crop Top - Urban Behaviour $5

I am a complete sucker for any sunflower or daisy printed things.

When I saw this top that my friend, Austin showed me I absolutely had to get it.

The fact that it's a turtle neck too was a bonus!

I'm a little crazy about turtle necks. I mean who isn't?

They keep your neck freaking warm and it kind of gives off the "classy" or "mature" look.

This top is so ideal to wear in the spring and summer!

The colour of the sunflower will compliment the weather and since it's sleeveless it'll keep me cool!

ACCESSORIES

Black Retro Cat Eyed Sunnies - XXI $8

Maroon Cat Eyed Sunnies - H&M $7

Gold Lace Choker - XXI $10

I saw these sunnies at H&M and seriously I couldn't stop thinking about them.

I know I have been saying that a lot but it's so damn true!

Whenever I see something and I say "damn I need to get that," I end up getting it.

To me it makes my face look a little bit slimmer LOL(sigh).

What's awesome about these sunglasses is that they have gold tips at the end!

I couldn't take a picture, for that I apologize!

Ah yes, you guys probably already know these sunnies!

It's linked in my February Favourites down below if you scroll down!

I bought these the day after I got my maroon sunnies... HAHA! 

Call me a shop-a-holic!

You know how they say that you're more likely to get something if someone else agrees with you?

This is the case for this necklace.

I still remember my reaction when I saw this.

I was in love with it but I was skeptical about the price.

However persuaded by the opinion from my friend, Michelle I decided to get it.

And I'm glad I got it because I was in need of a new necklace!

I purchased this with the retro sunnies!

White Crackled Stone Earrings - Ardene's $3

Diamond Shape Striped Patterned Earrings - Ardene's $3

Matte Gold Patterned Hoops - H&M $1

What a deal.

I honestly don't know what to call these earrings so I'm just labeling on their appearance.

I'm sure they have specific names but I honestly don't know.

I'm in love with these earrings, mostly because they were on sale LOL.

But also they're earrings I can wear when I do an up-do hairstyle!

Left: Different Patterned/Texture Gold Bangles $3

Right: Stretchy Gold Bracelets - H&M $2

I have gone back to wearing my arm candy and when I saw these I thought it would look great in my collection!

Not to mention their prices were a must have.

I guess I only buy for the price..? LOL

But really, these bracelets are cute and very easy to pair with an outfit!

COSMETICS

I went a little too happy on the nail-polish purchasing!

From left to right (Revlon) $4-5 each

020 - Pure Pearl

933 - Chameleon

220 - Enchanting

909 - Sheer Petal

917 - Plum Seduction

705 - Gray Suede

280 - Bubbly

410 - Dreamer 

161 - Teak Rose

As you can tell majority of these colours are light and I pretty much bought them for the upcoming spring and summer!

The darker colours are the ones I'll be wearing when I'm feeling "meh" about certain days!

Aveeno - Daily Moisturizing Lotion (My mom gave it to me actually)

L'OREAL - Voluminous Mascara $7

Urban Decay - Make Up Setting Spray in Oil Control $15

Aveeno - Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 $17

Crest 3D White Toothpaste $3

Wet & Wild - Walking on Eggshells Trio Eyeshadow $4

Most of these items were necessities 

I'm back on that 3D teeth whitening because I just want my teeth to be whiter LOL.

This has been my 2nd bottle of Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer and I really enjoy it.

It's very nice and light on the skin.

Maybelline 915 - Blushing Beige 

I really think this colour would look awesome when the sun is out.

Lately over here the weather has been gloomy and I'm not able to whip out this nice colour.

Blushing Beige is a nice neutral lip colour.

It'll be awesome to wear with mostly my spring outfits!

Wet & Wild - Walking on Eggshells

I thought I would do a close up of the eyeshadow trio I got! 

I have a great feeling that I'm going to be wearing this every day in spring.

The colours are not that harsh! It has the perfect light colour to it!

It's also very simple and easy to follow!

I think this will be the first eyeshadow trio(quad, duo etc) that I'll be using each colour that is recommended for which eye part!

I'll definitely do a make up look with this eyeshadow trio before Spring comes along!

There happens to be one more thing that I bought but I won't show that because I'm saving it for my upcoming room tour :)! As of now my room is completed until I go to IKEA to purchase my dresser! I might hold off with the room tour until I get that dresser but I might not!

I hope you guys enjoyed this really long post and I would love to hear about what you thought :)!

Till next time lovelies~

Enchanted Dreamer (LOOK OF THE DAY)

LOOK OF THE DAY!

2/28/14

Make Up

It was such a beautiful day I thought I'd go easy on the make up and focus more on hair!

My fantastic duo! 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewinder - Neutralizer

Mac Studio Finish Concealer - NW 25

This is where I apply the Maybelline Instant Age Rewinder!

I applied it under my eyes to minimize and brighten up the dark circles!

You always want a lighter concealer under your eyes.

I then run the concealer stick down the bridge of my nose to give it dimension.

(I wasn't blessed with a bridge nose so I guess this compensates LOL).

For the Mac Studio Finish Concealer I just apply it under my eye bags for a better cover.

 I also put it under my eyebrows, on the brow bone to make my eyebrows a little bit cleaner.

Finally I apply it on the redness of my face and pimples to hide them ;A;! 

I blend with my ring fingers because they have less pressure compared to your other fingers.

This is important because your eyes are sensitive and you can cause an increase in wrinkles!

Rimmel London Bronzer in Sun Light!

You guys can probably tell I love this bronzer as I hit pan!

I just apply this on the hollows of my cheeks to make my face slimmer ^_^

I also put it on both sides of the mark I drew down my nose from the Maybelline Concealer

because

1) It makes my nose look slimmer

2) Defines the "bridge" I created LOL.

Then I apply it to my forehead just a bit to create dimensions 

I use these brushes to apply bronzer

e.l.f Angle Blush Brush 

(Hollow of Cheeks and forehead)

e.l.f Contour Brush 

(Nose and Hollow of Cheeks)

Mac Sheer Pressed Powder - NC40

This is just to lock everything together and settle it neatly!

I love this press powder.

(Yeah I don't know how that dent got there to be honest ;A;)

e.l.f Powder Brush 

(all around my face)

e.l.f Flawless Concealer Brush 

(to reach places that are sensitive or hard to get[around nose, eyes, around lips])

Eye-Wear!

The black gel two end mascara is by e.l.f

(it used to be clear. I use it for setting my eyebrows)

Annabelle White Pencil Eyeliner

(I use this on the bottom waterline and I highlight the inner corners of my eyes)

And finally blushing!

This also happens to be my favourite blush since you know I hit pan!

It's Maybelline - Fit Me in Medium Coral.

I have to say this is probably the only product I like about the Fit Me collection.

The foundation from Fit Me broke me out completely!!

I would not recommend getting this and I rarely get pimples popping up.

(I'll add this to my foundation review)

Hair

Lazy Waves

I call this because the size of the hair I was curling on my wand was inconsistent.

It would be small or big.

Some would be curlier than others some wouldn't.

I just thought this hair gave a natural vibe to it and its super quick to do!

I didn't put any hairspray because I didn't really care if the waves lasted or not!

Hence, Lazy Waves!

Nails

Revlon 410 - Dreamer

The weather motivated me to paint my nails.

I chose this nice baby blue to compliment the weather.

I love how its so bright and that I only needed to use two coats to get the solid colour!

Revlon 220 - Enchanting

I painted my toes this colour.

I thought it worked well with the baby blue I painted on my nails.

I know my toes are hideous.

This is why I paint them to make them less disturbing LOL.

I just love how the purple isn't overwhelming nor underwhelming.

It's a great shade of purple

Hope you lovelies enjoyed this<3

The upcoming post is what I wore :)

Doughnut

I'm just taking a quick break from studying. My midterm is later on today. Am I well prepared? Somewhat. I just wished I studied earlier because I am harsh cramming and usually when people cram that can go both ways. Take it from me guys, I am the best procrastinator but I promised myself after my midterm I will force myself to do things early. If any of you have something assigned to you or if you want to do something: DO IT RIGHT AWAY! Chances are you'll most likely finish it!

Today I felt like doing my hair up.

Please excuse these pictures as it was taken in the morning and I have morning classes.

Enjoy these selfies! 

I used my doughnut bun that I got from H&M. It costed $3.

When using a doughnut bun you always want to pick the closest colour to your hair.

This is because if you don't properly spread your hair around, it will blend with your hair rather than it showing!

I used bobby pins and hair clips to tame those fly aways and baby hairs.

Oh and a little hairspray! (I sprayed the product on my hand and smoothed it on my head)

It's most likely I'll be doing a tutorial on how to get this look =)

I'll most definitely do a better picture of this hairstyle!

Thank goodness for tea! 

I really don't like drinking coffee but I need the caffeine for support!

On the left is just green tea by TAZO. 

Green tea has to be my favourite tea of all.

It's simple, it has extremely high benefits for your health and the smell is so rich!

On the right is Blueberry Acai by Lipton.

Originally it has a pale green colour to it but I added berries to give it colour.

It definitely enhanced its flavour!

This is just a throwback picture since it is Thursday now.

My nails are so short and it makes me sad, I really want to paint my nails.

Especially when I stocked up on pastel colours! 

Nicole by OPI - My Life Saver

Chinaglaze - I'm not Lion

I couldn't take a picture of the bottles (I'm extremely lazy LOL)

but I did link them for you guys if you were curious to see the bottle! 

Peace out lovers! 

Bubbly

I thought I'd do a Nail Polish collection post. Lately I've been obsessed with nail polish. Every time I see a colour that catches my eyes I have to get it. Sometimes I won't even use that nail polish.

Forgive the quality of these pictures. I can't find my charger for my camera so I'm relying on my iPhone!
