Dolce & Gabanna Anthology l'eau de toillette #3 L'imperatrice

I'm sure you have seen this ad. No? Yes I am a hoarder, and winners just doesn't help the cause XD. Winners has this fabulous little selection of perfume, and when i see something I'm unsure of. Go to sephora and smell it out of course! Never bought perfume full price WHOO.
All of the perfumes come in a sleek white box with D&G logo in black. The only difference with each perfume is their numbers. I got confused because i thought it was like 1 to 16 or something XD. Like there are 16 perfumes, but there are only 5 perfumes with random numbers.

L'imperatrice in french means "empress". I can't exactly say the name suits the perfume, but ok? This perfume features the aromas of watermelon, kiwi, pink cyclamen and musk. To me this smells like fresh clean laundry, which i absolutely love. I always wished someone would just bottle up that scent into a perfume form. I would buy bottle after bottle if they did had a scent like that. Although this D&G perfume is exactly the soap smell i like, it does smell quite like that which a hint of sweetness. Now i am not a fan of those sickly sweet smells, so D&G did justice with this perfume. Although I do like the scent, the lasting power of this perfume sucks! I need to use at least 3-4 sprays just to get the full affect. I love the scent but if i use this everyday, it would be gone in less then a month! That's ridiculous. This is why kids, read on the label if its "l'eau de toilette" or "l'eau de perfume". L'eau de perfume is more concentrated and has a longer lasting power. Overall I do like this perfume, but i wish its lasting power was better.

Clavin Klein Infinite Hydration Foundation in 113 Porcelain

So i was strolling around downtown Vancouver (thank god it was not the night of the Vancouver riot) and i went to Winners downtown. The one in downtown is so much nicer, has lots of nice watches (DKNY, Gucci, Hugo Boss...), tons of handbags but a small selection of make up and perfume. What caught my eye was this: I didn't know CK had a make up line. Say what? XD I had to try it because i'm a curious beast like that.
If you don't know what Winners is, Winners is the same thing as USA's Ross. You basically play the game of chance. But when you find something you like, they usually sell it to you for a good deal. This time around, I was lucky enough to find my shade of color and it wasn't opened! Wow this must have been meant to be.It comes in a nice sleek packaging, glass bottle, a pump and a plastic cap that has CK logo on top.
The coverage is light to medium and goes on the skin quite nicely. It does take a little bit of time to smooth it out onto the skin (well compared to my skin 79 bb cream). I have to say this foundation is average, nothing really special. I won't buy it again. Maybe its because I have a fear of using foundations because, well to be frank i don't want to be a cake face. XD I usually just use MAC studio fix powder and a bit of concealer. I don't need much, but its nice to have a foundation at hand.



Conclusion:

-price: C+

-packaging: B

-product quality: B-

-Overall quality: C+

-Buy again? No but it didn't hurt to try it for $12.99 CAD (compared to $35)

Nine West Shoe Haul

I have been staring at these for a few weeks now, thinking if i should buy them or not. When i was with my girlfriend in downtown, I decided to stop at nine west and try on the shoes for fun and FELL IN LOVE!! They were cute already itself, but trying them on it was like walking on clouds. People that think cheap heels are worth it, i think its not. Its better to invest a little bit more and be able to walk more then six hours in four + heels. Who are those peeking out to greet us? Hello gorgeous~ (yes i talk to shoes ok? Gosh XD, its not like you don't. I know you do, don't lie!) These shoes are perfect for spring/ summer. Satin fabric, leather straps, 5 inch heel, 1 inch platform, buckle closure.
If you like these shoes too, you better get your butt out there and get it fast because this model is selling out fast like hot cakes!! I live in Canada and they don't ship online to Canada so i had to go out and hunt them down! Size seven is too common. That was one of the reasons i got my butt out asap to get these. Don't be fooled, $89 is USD. I was a bit threw off when i saw the price tag of $130 CAD. Five inch heels baby!1 inch platform Turqouise leather cross straps Rubberized bottoms and thank god XD. I don't want to be skating across the floor.
What they look on. I love them!


These are absolutely love :)...can't want to wear them out

Curly Sue

So i was trying out a hair style as an experiment for my upcoming retro inspired look for my graduation dinner. I wanted to be a 1920's styled hair, or something like Dita von tesse hair. I've been super fascinated with vintage things. Vintage cars, vintage hats...everything! So when I went to go try the hair out....it came out like this XD.
Did i pass? The first one looks quite vintage in my eyes, the second one is more 1970's. All of these pictures are taken by myself with my iPhone4. Gonna love technology :) Edited with iphone app called Camera+.
I can't use photoshop to edit any pictures even if my life depended on it, so this app is super good because I can adjust the coloring of my picture, flip & rotate, put special effects, cut and put borders. for 99 cents, that is not a bad deal. :)

Christian Loubutin Shoe spazz attack

Seriously why does Christian Loubutin have to make such nice shoes!! DAMN...i want! I don't want to be the sterotypical girl that wants to marry a rich man, but right now i really want to HAHA. Just joking, i'll be a Beyonce and earn my things. :) Here are some of the latest Christian Loubutin shoes that caught my eyes.

If you don't see a repeating trend with all these shoes and most of the shoes i normally like, I like platforms and high stilletoes. Thats why it is important that I don't buy crappy shoes because I only like heels that are 4 inches or higher. I am only 5'3 so its kind of nice to look super duper tall and it makes my legs look sexy :). Come on girls, don't lie. I know you girls/guys out there love a good heel!
