Korean Beauty Haul

Ever since I'd heard of Asian skincare, I've been intrigued and fascinated. The idea that everyone follows such a complicated routine, the fact the products and ingredients are so different to what is sold here in Canada and most important the price range of the products. I had tried sheet masks before but this time I wanted to experiment with different products. I'd been seeing Memebox come up quite a bit recently as a Korean beauty box that delivered to the States. One of the things that really stood out were these super affordable serums, each with their own active ingredient. They weren't complicated and claiming to do a million things but one main ingredient. It kind of reminded me of Skininc where you can custom make yourself a serum based on active ingredients just like these. I was sold immediately and that prompted an order with Yes Style.

Target Liquidation Haul

It's been a sad time for us Canadians, losing Target and now the niche between Walmart and a proper department store (even Sears is on its way out). But there is always a silver lining and the silver lining here is a liquidation sale! Actually things got a little bit sadder considering the lack of real deals, I mean 10% kitchen products...that's pretty standard in department stores, I mean those are the kinda saving you get with a Student Pricing Card or one of those Target debit cards which I'm sure all the owners are now regretting. But lo and behold, cosmetics were 30% and that even had my mother rushing out to Target.

Body Shop Haul

As I promised in my empties post, there will be many hauls coming. I can be so frugal and so having to buy everything all at once really stresses me out. As such, my hauls will probably just be coming in small doses.

Christmas Beauty Products 2014

If you read my new years resolutions, you'll know that one of my goals is to focus on skincare rather than make-up. I kept this in mind when I wrote my Christmas list. I think sometimes when you read beauty blogs you think you need every neutral palette that looks beautiful (I mean those are all shades you're going to use right!?) etc. but I find when I take a step back I should only really be buying new makeup products as I run out or to fill in a gap. So I made my beauty list small and precise.

The Other Sephora Sale

Sephora's November 20% sale gets a lot of well-deserved hype, but since I was buying a $250 study manual this year, I did not indulge. My favourite of Sephora's sales takes place in December and for a student who doesn't drop a hundred dollars at Sephora (in one go, that is), this sale offer's a better deal. This deal was $20 off of $50 for VIB ($15 for BI and $25 for VIB Rouge).
