My Black Friday Haul 2013

So... I did a little Black Friday shopping on Friday / Saturday. I didn't wake up super early to go though and just ended up going in the evening of Black Friday. I waited in line for about 30 minutes at Old Navy to pay. I think that really was the only store that was a little crazy on Friday... atleast at the mall I went to. All I purchased there was a pair of thick grey leggings and a light grey sweater (I know... how boring!). Everything at Old Navy was 50% off but I was really just there for some essentials and didn't want to spend too much.

I went to Sephora briefly after and nothing really stood out to me so I walked out with NOTHING! (OMG!)

So, after cruising the mall and going to a few other lovely stores such as Bath & Body Works and American Eagle. I went to Target and made a single purchase of the NYX Give a Little Love Trio which had three Soft Matte Lip Creams in Antwerp, Adis Ababa & Tokyo. This little set was on sale for $13.49 which I thought was not bad considering one can run up to $8 where I am. 

On Saturday, I went to Forever 21 (nothing interested me there either) and the other store I went to was Victoria Secret and what I really wanted was the bag they were giving away with a $75 purchase haha. But, thankfully they also had some nice sales on body mist sets and this cute hoodie / fleece pants. Yep, I purchased those and got my free bag YAY! and that is all I purchased... Not to crazy :) I want to know what everyone else picked up for Black Friday / Weekend! Send them to me! haha!

Happy December! (omg it's almost Christmas!)

XOXO

April Favourites 2012: NYX, MAC, Maybeline & More

Its that time already?! April favourites came way too fast! Anyways here are some of my fave products for the month of April (those items I found myself reaching for the most!)

• Bath & Body Works Pink Chiffon Fine Fragrance Mist - This stuff smells sooo good and I find myself constantly spraying myself with it through out the day. Since it is just a mist the scent does tend to disappear after a few hours. I keep a travalo full of this mist in my purse and take it where ever I go :)
• ECO tools Bronzer Brush - I was watching one of Chelsea's (http://www.youtube.com/xclosetoreal) videos and she had mentioned this brush so I went out to purchase it. Right after using it for the first time I fell in love and have been using it constantly since! Thanks Chelsea!
• MAC Matte Blush in Melba - Love this blush because its the perfect color to give your face a bit of a flush look but it isn't sparkly because its a matte color. I love wearing this blush when I have a dramatic smoky eye :)
• Maybeline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze - This color is perfect for everyday wear! I sometimes just put this on with a bit of liner and mascara and am good to go for the day.
• Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti - A nice coral orange color. Great to give your face a pop of color for the day!
• NYX Butt Naked Palette - This palette has everything you need for eyes, cheeks and contour. Shadows are very nice and I love the blushes that come with this palette. Great for creating neutral and smoky eye looks!

Well, that is all my favourites for the month of April! What have your favourites been? Comment below! Don't forget to enter the Giveaway if you haven't already :)

Haute Look Haulin: NYX Cosmetics

From top to bottom: Pinched, Summer Peach & Peach

From left to right: Pinched, Summer Peach & Peach

Last month Haute Look had NYX on their site and I really wanted to grab some items. One of the things I really wanted was the Butt Naked palette which was on sale for $15. The NYX store where I live priced it at $28... so almost 50% off I could not pass! I also purchased 3 blushes (not that I need any more blushes) but they were just so pretty and I was really tempted... haha I think the trio of blushes came in at $11 which was not a bad deal at all! If you guys have not checked out Haute Look I totally recommend it for discount designer clothes, shoes, accessories and beauty products. You have to sign up to view the products but its free to sign up! Check it out and if you buy anything let me know what you got :)
