(The amount of hauls I've been pulling as of late is ridiculous. I feel like I'm just shoving my consumerism in your faces ;-;) (Also, excuse the lack of consistent posting, it's the final weeks of uni, which means PAPERS ASSIGNMENTS QUIZZES REPORTS IN YO FACE)
This past weekend, I took a trip to Michigan, and every time I go to the States for a shopping trip, I get so angry.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUQ, AMERICA??!??!!?" I would scream in my head as I stroll down aisle after aisle in Walmart, with aisle after aisle presenting the most outrageous and ridiculous products. Instant kettle corn popcorn? You got it! Have you even seen how many brands and varieties of frozen pizza there are in Walmart??? INSANE. WHY DO YOU GUYS EVEN HAVE 'OREO PIE CRUSTS'???? EXCUSE ME???
Can someone mail me a green card pls?
Don't even get me started when I finally found the e.l.f and NYX section at Target. I was ready to break down and cry on the spot.
Yabber yabber yabber, yeah, I know you're just here for the haul.
Yabber yabber yabber, yeah, I know you're just here for the haul.
If you're new to my blog, well, you should know I'm a blush fiend.
I was trying hard not to sob after I found an extensive section of NYX at Target. CAN YOU BELIEVE THE BLUSHES ARE ONLY $5???? BLASPHEMY. AND THE ELF BLUSHES ARE ONLY $3!!!! WHAT THE WHAT??????
Anyways, I picked up:
- NYX's 'Terra Cotta', 'Pinched' and 'Mocha'
- E.L.F's 'Tickled Pink' and 'Mellow Mauve'
- Milani's 'Berry Amore'
- Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in 'Pinched'
I didn't even realise I had picked so many Maybelline products...
I got:
- Maybelline's 'Full N Soft' mascara (we don't have these in Canada!)
- Maybelline's 'the Colossal' mascara
- Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB (as backup)
- Maybelline's BabyLips Dr. Rescue in 'Coral Crave' (haven't seen these in Canada yet)
I snuck into a Sephora, and felt like I had hit the jackpot when I found out the location sold Soap and Glory, so I got a mini body butter trio. I also got Urban Decay's 'Urban Essentials' set for 500 pts.
(I mean, I kinda only got the trio for the SUGAR CRUSH. THAT STUFF SMELLS HELLA AMAZE)
I picked up Bumble and Bumble's 'Brilliantine' after seeing it on Daphne's blog (~dat lush hair~ yo), and her hair was so hairporn that I decided to pick this product up for myself.
Also picked up Simple's 'Cleansing Facial Wipes' because I love this stuff. (Strange as it sounds, this wipe smells like mushrooms to me)
YOOOOOOOOOOO I stood in disbelief when I saw these. DID YOU KNOW THEY MADE SHOWER GELS? RIDICULOUS. I'll have to try and not confuse them with shampoo when I'm in the shower!
Non-beauty related, but I bought my first teapot! :3
(Also bought a decent amount of scarves and sweaters in the States, heh)
GRATUITOUS SHOTS

ReplyDeleteAnd omg that teapot. I want. *____*
RIGHT? But then again, if we did have half their stuff, I'd be literally broke in no time flat.

Yeah, I think I'm going all British as of late, I even practised saying 'FANCY A CUPPA??' so I am an honorary Brit now :3
DeleteIDK, DON'T THE BLUSHES HAVE A TINY STICKER ON THE BACK?? (I know mine do, but other than that, yeah its frustrating that they aren't labelled!)
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINALS TOO, IQRA :3
hahahaha OMG if you haven't finished editing your video yet PLEAAASE put 'fancy a cuppa??' in there:'D then indeed you would be the most honorary. legendary Canadian yet internally British Brit ever X)
Deleteyeah but they don't helpD; the sticks have a bunch of numbers/letters?! I shall have to hunt them down though because I really wanted to post about the blusher I've been loving :(
Thankyouuuuuuu D':
I'm so jealous of this ... <3
ReplyDeletePft, no need to be!
Delete#brokestatus
It certainly looks like you got some great new additions to your ever growing blush collection! And that teapot is so cute! I just bought a mug in that same color the other day. I'm happy to say I'm done with most of my Christmas shopping. I'm one of those who shops throughout the year cause I just can't deal with the holiday crowds. Oh yeah I just picked up some Embryolisse moisturizer - the cult classic that all French women supposedly swear by.
ReplyDeleteRowena @ rolala loves
It's an out-of-control blush collection at this point. I'm a blush monster and it's terrifying :(
DeleteUgh, I can't deal with holiday crowds either! (Don't like masses of people, hah) Smart move on your part though ;)
AHHHH! JEALOUS. I want to try that moisturizer too! Haven't got around to purchasing it yet, but I will eventually!
OMG, so many lovely products!!! I'm so jealous x
ReplyDeleteyetanothermakeupblog.blogspot.co.uk
I'm a shopaholic, ha ._.''
DeleteAll of those blushes look amazing! Us Canadians are definitely missing out!
ReplyDeleteAddictedtoOPI
Definitely! :(
DeleteCanada needs to open up it's markets! :(
OOooo! Lovely blush picks!
ReplyDeleteAmerica is truly a ridiculous country, but I love it! haha

A Beautiful Zen
YES AND NOW WE CAN SHARE THAT LOVE :D
DeleteI haven't tried 'Terra Cotta' yet, but it's so dark in the pan! I'm really really enjoying 'Mocha' though.
RITE? RITE? THAT PRICE THO
Great haul- love those blushes!
ReplyDeletekatespitz.blogspot.com
Thanks! (And same :D)
DeleteLucky you! I ordered NYX Terra Cotta online, it's so lovely! I've been trying to get my hands on the Milani Luminoso blush but I can't seem to find it in Canada :(
ReplyDeletewww.natalielovesbeauty.com
I haven't tried 'Terra Cotta' yet, because I can't stop using 'Mocha'!
DeleteI know some WalMarts carry it, though not all Walmarts. And Real Canadian Superstore!
I know how frustrating it can be to find Milani, haha :(
Hehe you're lucky you get target in America/Canada as we don't, sounds like it's the place of bargains! LOVE the revlon photoready blushes, such good value!
ReplyDeleteSharlotte
GOTTA LOVE AMERICAN CONSUMERISM :D
DeleteI haven't tried the Revlon blushes, but everyone says they're good value!
All the Targets around me STILL DO NOT sell any NYX stuff *fit of rage* I also think you're turning me into a blush nut... js.
ReplyDeleteMaybelline's Full 'n Soft is probably my favorite mascara that I've tried thus far. I always go back to it when I start disliking something that I recently picked up~
PFT, find an online retailer? :(
DeleteYOLO BLUSHES 5EVER.
Yeah, I've heard so many fantastical things about Full n Soft, can't wait to open it up!
This post made me laugh pretty hard; glad you enjoyed your visit! I've been known to disappear into Target for hours at a time-- its kind of the best thing ever.
ReplyDeleteBIFFSQUIGGLED
Haha, thankyou! ;)
DeleteYeah, it kinda is the best thing ever...there's way too many amazing things in there!
Great haul! I love NYX's pinched! Maybelline mascaras are the best!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Can't wait to try 'Pinched'!
DeleteSo many awesome things here that I need to try (eventually). I feel like I need to stop buying blushes (but that's probably not going to happen any time soon :B ) Everything in thing here looks so awesome, I'm probably going to pick up more stuff eventually.... :B Oh if I had all the monies in the world!
ReplyDelete<3 Pauline
ALLLLLLLLL THE BLUSHES!!
DeleteYeah, we would live like queens :(
i didnt know herbal essence had shower gels :O idk why i even care im so disappointed at our malls here bec they carry only few products that are nice. will probably take forever before it will reach my area :( on the other note you must be a very bad influence shopping buddy you tend to buy half the mall products everytime you do a haul :P
ReplyDeleteINSANEEEEE, RIGHT????
DeleteNah, you guys carry your own specialties though!
IT'S A JUSTIFIED HAUL. KINDOF. I'M USUALLY MORE RESERVED THAN THIS :(
That's sooo awesome! I love everything you hauled! I'm a huge fan of blushes, I love rose shades and I will buy rose shades from any brands! I have two milani blushes and I love them so much. I also envy your UD set! I wish they have products like that in sephora here! I asked for a soap & glory gift set for christmas from my boyfriend as I really want to sample all their skincare bits! I love your tea pot too, its adorable and I really want to get mugs now!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! NYX blushes is one of my favorite blushes ever. :)
