The body shop black Friday amazing deal!

I don't usually shop at the body shop but when I do, I only shop there when they have their 3 for $30 or even once it was 4 for $30 for just body butters and shower gels.  This time around for Black Friday, Body shop is having this offer where you can get a bundle of 9 full size (except for the moisturizer) products for $25 after you buy $30 worth of products.  And yes, you can use this deal with the 3 for $30!

 I have been eyeing their vineyard peach collection ever since it came out and I didn't know it was limited edition, so by the time I was ready to buy it....of course it was gone.  I'm happy that it is in the permanent collection now! I guess it is finally time to get it.  I also now and eyeing the honeymania collection, the body butter of course.  I smelled it in the store and I like it, it was a quite refreshing light honey scent which in the long run will not make me gag.

The $25 tote bag comes with:

-Chamomile make up eye remover 250 mL $16.00 CAD

-Cranberry shower gel 250 mL $8.00 CAD

-satsuma body polish 200 mL $20.00 CAD

-satsuma body butter 200 mL $20.00 CAD

-Vitamin E moisture cream 15 mL (sample size) $18.50 CAD 50 mL; full size $5.55 sample

-absinthe hand butter 100 mL $20.00 CAD

-coconut body oil 100 mL $14.00 CAD

-coconut soap $4.00 CAD

-bath lily  ??

-I love body shop tote ??
-------------------------------------------------------------
Total retail price: $107.55
       You pay: $25
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
           You save: $82.55

You really can't beat the tote.  I mean it is all full size products :).  I don't mind having bath products sitting in my drawers since it will be used up.  You can also give the tote bag products away as gifts.  Its the best of both worlds!  I believe this deal will end December 2.

The 3 for $30 will end December 1, 2013 so if you have been eyeing a lot of things like me, you better get it now!

And if you thought the deals ended there, you are wrong.  If you use ebates.com, which is a website online which you sign up for free and they give you a percentage back to you if you use their links and buy things.  This is not a scam, and yes I know it sounds too good to be true but trust me, free money speaks loud to me LOL. During black Friday, they always offer double cash back so for those of you that live in USA, you get 10% back into your account and for those of you in Canada like me, you get 6% cash back.

So if you stack up all the deals:

Body shop love your body membership $10 fee 10% off anything
Ebates cash back 6% for Canadians
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16% (for Canadians) or 20% (for Americans) off on top of the deals 

Who wants to pay full price eh? ;)

Newest product from ELF

As you all know, I love elf cosmetics over anything.  Not all their products are pigmented but I'd say 80% of there stuff is fantastic for the price you pay which is dirt cheap!  I'm always on the website and recently, they have been added more and more new products :D.

I always just go on their website and click on the "new" section. Always get super excited when there is something brand spanking new!  As you can see, there are a lot of geometric palettes and new baked products~~.  I NEED IT (No I don't but i just want it haha.)

New additions to Skin79 BB cream family

I literally just saw this and I'm freaking out!  I don't believe I have admitted my love for Skin79's hot pink bb cream.  That bb cream is my fail safe, holy grail "foundation".  I don't really have many skin problems, just mild redness around the nose and cheeks and I absolutely hate wearing foundation because whenever I try, the liquid foundation shows my dry patches which you can't see normally.  It's a pain to find a foundation.

The two new additions is the Skin79 Green bb cream and Skin79 Purple bb cream.  Straight forward enough haha.  What are the differences you ask?  I can't read Korean but this is what I read.

SUPER PLUS BEBLESH BALM TRIPLE FUNCTIONS - SKIN79 GREEN

-SPF 30 PA+++

-comparable to the Orange one

-Suitable for oily skin

SUPER PLUS BEBLESH BALM TRIPLE FUNCTIONS - SKIN79 PURPLE

 -SPF 40 PA+++

-more moisturizing compared to hot pink and vip gold (seriously? I'm going to have to get my hands on this!)

-suitable for dry skin (THAT'S ME :D)

If you are considering on which one is better suited for your skin type, here's a little brief overview for their BB creams from this line.

Hot pink

-super moisturizing, even for my dry patchy skin

-can use fingers to blend in; blends in like butter

-coverage is light-medium; buildable

-dewy finish

VIP Gold

Pretty much the same thing as hot pink

Orange

-higher coverage then Hot pink

-suitable for oily skin, not dry skin

-higher SPF

They have also added CC cream into their family of cosmetics and skincare.  I really want to try this but I am looking at all the other korean CC cream and see which one I should buy. CC cream is different from BB cream for a quick fix for present problems while as BB cream is more for preventing.

SKIN79 PORE DESIGNING COLLECTION 

Thee step process to reduce your pore size and to remove blackheads.  I found that the only way for me to get rid of blackheads is to use that little metal stick tool and squeeze them out.  My skin is so stubborn T_______T.

Anyways are you excited for the BB creams?  I know I am!  Ebay still doesn't have the purple one.  HURRY UP KOREANS!  I NEED IT.  I have no Korean friends and am not going to South Korea anytime soon so ebay is my only option.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup

One thing that really stinks is watching your favorite Youtubers talking about all these fantastic make up but they don't have it anywhere else other then USA.  WHAT THE FART!  Canada isn't that bad since we have about 80% of the products they have in USA but it is always that 20% that kicks you in the bum and makes me want to live in the states.  I really want to since they have all the good shops, awesome drugstore deals like bogos and half off.  We never have awesome deals like that.  Not only that, our tax is higher and the price is higher.  But at least we get to say this to them, "FREE (not really) health care :D".

The one foundation in the drugstore that I really want to try and I've heard way too many good things about is the "Neutrogena healthy skin liquid make up foundation".  Why do we not have this here!  We have Neutrogena skincare but not their make up.  Sigh but I think I will get my mom to get this when she crosses the border hopefully this weekend.  

Has anyone tried this?  Anyone reading that is NC15-20?  Will the classic ivory work?

IMATS Vancouver 2013 Haul

 Ohh yea, it is haul time :D.  This is an overlook on what I bought.  Not much since most of my money went to Hakuhodo anyways.  I kind of blow my budget of $300 and went a little overboard at Hakuhodo but it is okay because those brushes are worth it.  I work hard for my money, I can treat myself right? LOL Okay okay, i know it is a lot of money but I held off buying anything make up related for half a year! Why do I still feel bad :(.

 Overview of the vendors that were there.  I felt like there was only around 12 vendors that were actually there to sell make up and others were just taking up space LOL.
