Well.ca Makeup Haul

Hi everyone,

I can't believe it's been a year since I placed my last order with Well.ca because they changed their free shipping compliments with an increased order minimum ($25). However, I did occasionally visit their website throughout the year to checkout their weekly sales. As I mentioned in my last post I am slowly working to expand my makeup collection and since well.ca had sales for some of their lip products I thought it was a great time to stock up. I was impressed that well.ca still process orders super fast; about 2 business days to ship out. I was so excited to receive my package I decided stay home and wait for it so I could open the package as soon as it was delivered to my mailbox. I kept on tracking the number and waiting anxiously for it to arrive but it never did sadly and later realized that the reason could of been the use of a different delivery person who may not know his routes that well. The usual mailmen knows me well since I order a lot of things online (hehe) and he always delivers mail at a consistent time frame...Anyways, I was so excited upon receiving this little box of goodies!
Ta-da! You probably spot a bunch of lipsticks and that is the reason I did this haul. 
I initially chose 6 lip products then I added a nail polish and an eyeliner to qualify for their $25 minimum for free shipping. My final total was around $31CAD after taxes. They also let me pick a free sample (yay freebies) I chose the burts bee product. Here is a picture of all my products:   

I have always wanted to try baby lips line but thought it was pricey for a lip balm but I got it since it was on sale. I've been mainly using this and it's very moisturizing, the only concern I have since this is a tinted lip balm you will need to use lip scrub before applying  the product clings on to your dry skin. 

Although it is very sheer it lets you control how pink you want your lips to be. (The swatch is 2 gentle swipes back and forth on my hand). 

 

First time trying wetnwild lipsticks, I couldn't resist purchasing them since they were selling at such an affordable price. Wetnwild Pink Ice 528A lipstick- I love this bright pink shade, the lipstick is opaque, creamy.

Wetnwild Dark Pink Frost 502A lipstick-  Creamy, nice pink with a bit of purple and has a nice golden shimmer which was hard to capture with my camera, afforable

This is my second NYC cityproof twistable, I love how cute the packaging and easy application, cute pink shade, a bit sheer, creamy.  

NYC Blossom 316- Moisturizing, creamy, not sticky, affordable, highly pigmented, bight pink

NYC City duet The Empire Lilacs 427- get your money worth since you can get 3 different colors with this lipstick,  I wish I gotten different colors since the purple tone don't really suit me well. 

 What is your go to lipstick ? 

Walmart Ring Haul

Today I went to walmart with my mom to help her with grocery then I started wondering off on my own (I just couldn't help it) ending up in their jewelry section. I have really thin fingers I actually need to wear a size 5.5 since size 5 is too small for my index and middle fingers and size 6 is too big sadly. Well I did manage to find 5 rings I liked then I decided to choose my favourite top 3 styles since I own a lot of rings already. The 3 rings I bought are size 6 but they are all a bit loose so I might have to put a bit of hot glue on the inside of the ring so it doesn't twist around my finger so much. All 3 rings cost around $36CAD after taxes which isn't so bad hopefully they will last a year before the crystals fall out or the silver paint chips off. 

Please excuse the lighting the rings look more mesmerizing in person.

This is my favourite one and the picture doesn't do the ring justice. All the crystal looks more sparkly and the pink crystal doesn't look as see through.

 

I have always wanted to buy a princess inspired ring but I didn't know where I would be able to find it in my size luckily I found one at walmart.    

 

I bought this ring because it's simple and chic and I can accessorize this with any outfit.

Which one do you like most? 

Mini Makeup haul- Sephora and Marshalls

Back in high school I used to wear foundation on a daily basis since I wanted to cover up my pores. Then I stopped caring as much about how I looked when I attended university and stopped using makeup till mid January 2014 that is when I had dropped out of school temporary. After I realized I was left with lots of free time as I am unemployed at the same time so I decided to catch up with all the beauty trends and started watching some beauty gurus on youtube. I was surprised how well some of the products worked for them so I figured I had to get my hands on those products to test out myself. This is my first sephora haul that isn't a gift from my boyfriend and I feel proud that I saved up for it with the money I made participating in online surveys and in person research studies held at my school to make some allowance money. As of now, I already gotten 2 part time job offers so until I get my first few paychecks my makeup collection won't be growing as fast as my interest towards makeup and super soft makeup brushes.
 

This is my mini beauty haul: 

I usually wear drug store foundation which ranges $10-15 but I never understood if it was me or the makeup since it just never covered my redness that well even with concealor or when I layered my foundation. I read a lot of reviews on the sephora website about the kat von d tattoo foundation to find out most agree that the product coverage is so high you don't need concealer then I decided to buy it. The packaging is really pretty, the bottle and the pump design feels very luxrious when you pick it up. My first impression I was just astonished by the results since I have a lot of redness due to sensitive skin. By a lot I mean more than half my face on both sides got redness all over and around my nose area too. I also have big pores, I find that this product does minimize the look of my pores like other foundations I tried but it has better coverage. The foundation is pretty thick compared to ones I have bought in the past though I still find it easy to apply and I'm mentioning this because one of my friend didn't like the texture. This product has a matte finish, I find it last about 4-5 hours on my combination skin before I start to notice my nose look a bit shiny. I personally hate my face looking shiny so I could easily fix the look with powder or blot sheets then reapply a bit of the product. I don't like how this product makes my dry skin more obvious since the product clings on to the pieces of dry skin which they normally don't look that visible without foundation. Overall I would rate the product 8/10 since it is a bit pricey too.  

I haven't tried the porefessional product yet since I have been obsessed with the tattoo foundation and fasincinated by the high coverage. I got the product because of all the hype and good review hope it lives up to my expectations when I get the chance to try it out. It's a bit pricey for the amount you get hopefully a little goes a long way and I wish sephora had the bigger size in stock. As for the eye lash glue I got it because I ran out of my last one and needed one more item to qualify for free shipping (haha). I also went to Marshalls on the same day to look for some real techniques brushes but they didn't have the ones I was looking for. I did end up buying 2 other brushes by essential beauty which I never heard of them before. The bronzer brush cost $8 and the blush brush cost $7 these were the only 2 left of this copper gold color (I swear in stores the color looked more gold which is why I bought these on impulse but oh well still like them). 

The next 2 pictures are a comparison of the size of the brushes.

Both brushes are super soft duo fibre and haven't shed after washing. The bronzer brush is more dense and softer compared to the blush brush. I would recommend the bronzer brush if you ever see this brush selling at Marshalls it blends out my bronzer really nicely to give a softer and more natural contoured look. 
 

What is your favourite foundation and makeup brush? I really want to add the real techniques blush brush to my collection it looks uber soft plus in pink one of my favourite colour!
