Another random wal mart haul

For those of you that doesn't know, Bruno Mars on December 11 finally came out with his second album called the "Unorthodox jukebox." I was on a countdown, waiting for his CD to come out and since Wal mart is so close to my house, I finally stopped there yesterday to pick it up and some shampoo and conditioner. 

 I didn't expect that there would be a gorilla on the cover but LOL there it is with a jukebox :).  Now I really liked his singles "Locked out of Heaven" and "Young Girls" and I like Bruno mars as an artist.  He is one of those true artists that write and produces his own songs and I applaude him for that since that is really rare these days.  And if you have watched any of ihs live performances, he sounds exactly the same or even better the on the CD.  Amazing, I just love his voice and him :D.  Now let's be honest, I'm notthe type to usually buy CD's since everyone nowadays download songs and well...its free.  But Bruno Mars is worth the $14.98 since the CD is keepsake and I can play it over and over again.  If I just download it, I might loose the file and also, I like to play it in my car since I can blast it super loud and no one can hear me sing on the top of my lungs HEHE.

 Nakey girl? Well almost nakey girl.  Simple cd art, I like it :).

 I love that they used this 90's style theme throughout the album and the music video. 

I was quite surprised that there was only 10 songs since albums usually have 12-16 songs but eh, its okay :).

There was this really huge stand of movies for only $5. I was going to pick up wild things since I really wanted to watch it but my boyfriend didn't so I just put it back and might just watch it online.  I picked this one since it was two movies in one for only $5, dirt cheap! $2.50 for a movie.  I don't really know what Planet 51 is about but my boyfriend wanted to watch the Hoodwinked LOL.  Has anyone watched that? It doesn't really appeal to me but I love to make my boyfriend happy, so I don't mind watching this with him.

The other two items I bought was Aussie moisture shampoo and conditioner, the big bottle for only $4.44! Thats what I love about Aussie since its so cheap and its not a bad product either! I was going to try this other company called "Living Clean" but didn't really want to spend $6 on a small bottle so I just went back to the same thing :/.  It lasts me half a year for less then $10 for both so I'm good :D.

The last boring thing I got was cotton pads.  Yes cotton pads LOL.  Nothing much to say but the price said $1 but I got charged $2 :/.  Didn't notice until after I went home but its okay.  I usually get the bulk pack at costco but we ran out and didn't have time to buy it so I thought I'd just buy a stalk for now.

What are you random things I'd get at your drugstores? I absoultely love buying really cheap movies and they had good movies too :D.  Mr and Mrs smith, Wild things, Dear John... Just some that I can remember on the top of my head. Also, does anyone have any shampoo and conditioner from the drugstore they would recommend? I'd love to try something new!

Another sephora haul with $15 coupon

 On my post for the haul I got at sephora on the Korres butter kit, I used my V.I.B coupon for $20 off $50.  I was surprised that they sent me another one where it was $15 off $50. Everyone got this one but I don't know if V.I.B's get both or was this just a mistake.  Hehe I wanted to try my luck to see if I could use the $20 off $50 again but I didn't want to be too bad but I'm still curious since they say that it was a one time use only but when I went to the other sephora to buy stuff with the $15 coupon, the girl didn't say anything.

  I didn't really have much to buy anyways but i really needed the Korres pomegranate cream gel after I found out that they actually sold it in a jar! I found out about this product when I bought the Korres pomegranate skincare kit at Winners for only $16.99 (regular price $34-$40) and you get a nice sized tube of each product and you'd really get a feel about the product and I was really feeling that moisturizer! I felt that I really would be sad when I ran out of this product and I couldn't find it on sephora at the time too so I thought all hope was gone.  But when I went to metrotown to get the Korres butter set, I saw it! I didn't want to spend $100+ then and there and I made the right choice :).

It comes in a nice glass jar, just simple packaging but what I love is that this cream was designed for combo skin.  I'm not oily but I do have combination dry skin and this works for me :). This was $41 CAD.

 The moisturizer was really the only thing that I wanted but the total was only $41 so I was in sephora trying to find something I wanted and not make up to bring the subtotal to $50 so I could use the coupon. At first I found these sponge scrubbies that were $8 which I needed anyways since I thought I could use those for my underarms to exfoliate to make my underarms less dark.

I also got myself this little sample sized Benefit Dr. feel good since I heard that this was like a primer product to smooth your lines and what not so I thought I would give it a shot and it was so cute! Little tiny tin can with this retro sticker. :3

This product came with a little sponge and a translucent paper to protect it but it was a pain in the butt to get rid of because the little part where you have to lift it was stuck under the tin LOL.  And the sponge wouldn't lift either! Ugh but Anyways I can't wait to try this product!

What was your most recent favorite make up purchase recently? Mine was the korres butter kit for sure :).

Hello kitty update and forever 21 accessories haul

As you might know, a few posts back I went ot forever 21 in search of their hello kitty forever collection since thye had a lot of the other sanrio characters.  I don't like hello kitty but I really wanted their madtz maru punching sweater but obviously they didn' thave it since I found out about the collection way to late and all the good stuff was gone. The collection was super cute and to my surprise affordable! I thought they would jack up the prices since it was sanrio but the prices were $15-$27, not bad!

The chococat flowy peter pan color top was one of the better quality tops.  They had t-shirts and really adult office friendly tops and bottoms but not all of them were good quality.  I tried on a brown chococat top with black bow tie and little chococats all over the top but the material was so stiff and the cut was so boxy so I just passed on that and got myself this top. This one was $23.80.

Last week when I went out early to find my boyfriend before work, he unexpectedly wanted to go to the mall, but not to shop but to use the camera I bought him for his birthday and take pictures of the festivity. I was like gosh darn it! I don't want to buy anything but your luring me to ! We had an hour and a half to kill and we were sitting right in front of forever 21, just chilling and sitting on the coach, watching some T.V. and playing with our phones.  I just couldn't help but have hope that there might be some more hello kitty items! There was only about four clothing items but somehow i scored this sweater cardigan.  I'm super happy about this since its an alternative to the hello kitty and i like chococat :D but not really fond of the color.  Not too shabby though and the material was pretty good, nice and thick :).

 So cute! Kitty!!

 I don't really understand this price.  In store this was $27.80 but Canadian forever 21 was $33. Maybe someone bought this from the states website and then returned it.  Either way, I'm not complaining I paid less for this hehe!

The back of the sweater says chococat which isn't that great of a print quality.  Its kind of already rubby off :/.  Its okay I guess.

 I also went to forever 21 a few occasions after that to find a headband.  I saw one that was super pretty with small little pearls and rhinestones, it didn't look cheap at all but I really didn't want to pay $17 for a headband that I might wear.So when I saw the other styles and saw this one.  They had this really pretty "rhinestone" one which is right up my alley! The quality isn't that good but I like that the plastic rhinestone has a mixture of matte and shiny stones. Each rhinestone is glued on so make sure you pick the nice ones, where you can't see the glue.  $7.80

I also found these retro 1960's style teardrop earrings that are really sparkly and I love that there is the touch of teal, so pretty! Ever since I saw these pair of crystal statement retro looking earrings on Hautelook that were $180, I let them go but I really regret it but I know I did the right thing.  I just hope something like them will appear again! These were $6.80 which is a little bit more then I would pay for at forever 21 but I love these too much to let them go!

I also found these pearl earrings since I don't have any pearl earrings.  I find these so elegant when you just wear simple pearl studs but I can't afford real ones so these were perfect.  They were only $3.80 and came with 9 pairs.  I found that a little bit excessive to have nine pairs of the same thing but I'm not complain LOL.  I'll just get the other six pairs away.

Another VIB coupon! $20 off $50

For those that had the privilege to have 20% off at sephora, now its everyone's turn to get an awesome discount too! Just yesterday I received a $20 off $50 which was a miracle for me since I didn't really go crazy with the 20% off sale but I really wanted to get more of the Korres lip butters because my lips are always chapped :(.  I saw this awesome set on sephora's website which was three lip butters and four body butters for $34 USD but I told myself that I could never find that set in Canada since its always the states that always get the awesome stuff.  Long and behold when I went to Metrotown today, TADAAA~

 Since the coupon was $50 off $20 for V.I.B only ($15 off for everyone else), I had to get $50 or above.  Funny thing is this set for Canadians is $49 which is a little bit more expensive then for the Americans across the border but it still is a good deal :). 3 lip butters is already $48 before tax so this is an awesome deal.  I love love love Christmas times since the value sets is always unbeatable.  I was talking to one of the girls that was there and she helped me think of finding something that was only $1 HAHA.  That was hard since everything is $10+.  She's like Oh! You can always get one of these $1 soap pods LOL.  I wasn't going to since I found the Korres Pomegrante cream gel but I didn't want to pay another $50 :/.  I had to let it go but I know I'm going to regret it since that moisturizer sells out fast!

 This set comes with three lip butters: Guava (a clear color), Jasmine (light peachy beige color) and Quince (Rose pink color).  I really can't wait to use these! I absolutely love my mango one but I wanted more variety! Orange on my lips in the winter isn't the best thing, especially when I it always gets to the corner of my mouth and I look like I didn't wipe my mouth after eating a popsicle, not a good look.

 The four body butters that came with this set was Jasmine, Guava, Basil lemon and apple blossom.  I haven't smelt most of them but I did smell a few in the store and I like the clean and crisp nature of these.  They are really moisturizing without being too oily which I love! It reminds me of the Au lait body cream I got from Winners that I have used up already so I've been desperate find some more for ma bodyyyyy! Happy happy happy :)

 I originally was going to get this set since i didn't see the big one I wanted but I knew I wasn't going to be happy with it since this set was $34 and I would have to find something else that i didn't need. I was also crazy enough that I was going to get this, the big kit and the pomegranate cream gel moisturizer.  That would have been $150! Thank god I stopped myself but I remember thinking to myself to just get it so I can get the V.I.B and lock it for next year too :D.  LOL

This was a small haul but it was a big deal to me because I set out just to get these things and the hello kitty collection items  :D. I just got another coupon too for the $15 off $50 so I'm guessing the VIB's get two coupons? Do they want me broke? Holy cows!

What was your most favorite value sets? Did you buy it or are you still waiting for the right moment?

Belated black friday Old Navy haul

Unlike most Canadians that live near the border or you flew to the States just to take part of their annual Black Friday crazy sales, I was sitting at home because I didn't want to get trampled from crazy crowds at Wal mart.  I mean have you seen the videos? Geez humans can be vicious for deals O_O.  I mean come on guys, first world problems.  People die from getting stampede and in third world countries, they die of starvation.  :/ Anyways my nice and quiet just happened at good old Old navy.  They had an awesome deal where the first 40-50 people would get a free copy of the new Wii Super Mario for the Wii U.  I thought I had already missed my chance when I went to go shop their awesome deals Friday afternoon but apparently they were giving them out on Saturday at 7 pm.  Too bad I had to work at 6:30 or else I would have went.  Also everyone that buys anything would get a chance to win one of the 1,000 Wii U consoles they were giving out.

 I didn't go crazy on buying a ton of stuff and i just sticked to buying stuff i actually needed.  Okay I have to admit that I don't really need more t-shirts but they were $5! Can you really blame me? And the the print was really good quality and it was just overall cute!

 The door buster deals on Friday was their fleece PJ pants going for $8 each pair.  They are so soft and fluffy, it makes me warm and happy in the really cold Canadian days.  I only had one pair of fleece pants so these were a must for me.  There were a lot of patterns to choose from but I choose for myself the light purple polar bear print and a light ultramarine color with cute owls on it.  All of the pajama pants had a ribbon to tie it around your waist so even if you do buy a size larger, the pants won't be down to your ankles when you wear them.

 The original price of these were $14.94 which I would have most definitely not pay for just pants.  Old navy always has deals going on and they change their prices almost everyday so always check back on their prices and get your price differences!

  I also picked up these college-estiqe t-shirts. I find these super cute and super easy for me to wear from a day to day basis.  I'm not the type to dress up everyday since I don't have anyone to impress but my boyfriend but he sometimes gets a little insecure when I dress up and go out without him LOL.  Well don't we all? I completely understand :).  But I'm usually too lazy to dress up so I wear t-shirt, jeans, sneakers or boots and for this season lots and lots of toques.

I know my haul isn't the most interesting like others that got new cell phones for $50 and flat screen T.V.s for $400 but I honestly don't really need anything.  I'm just waiting for boxing day to hit and the first few stores I'm going to hit would be Lush for their buy one get one free and Nine west for their 40% everything.  

What are you looking forward to for the boxing day sales? What was one of the best deals you have scored in the past?
