McLobster

On the weekend me and my mom decided to go to Walmart to pick up some freebies with coupons and I was really craving for some Macdonalds French fries badly since it's been a few months. So right when I get to Macdonalds I see a huge sign about their new sandwich that was for a limited time so it really tempted me to buy one before they stopped selling them, plus I love to eat lobster so it didn't hurt to try one. 

I ordered the Mclobster and I obviously still ordered my French fries since that's what I initially planned to grab from Macdonalds. It was a pretty good dinner combo for me and $10 well spent. This may not be everyone's cup of tea since we all have different taste for food. I like it because the lobster and it's different from other sandwiches they have on their menu. Instead of a hot sandwich this is cold since its kinda like salad style lobster sandwich, the lobster tasted fresh and didn't have any bad fishy after taste. They do give a pretty generous amount of lobster so I didn't feel ripped off. 

Inside: lobster, lettuce, celery and dressing which is a great combo with the bun since it was a bit sweet reminds me of asian buns yum! 

Overall: 9/10 only because I felt that the overall size of sandwich was kind of small , if I didn't buy the large French fries I think I would still be hungry lol 

Luxe Box Summer 2013 Review

Woot woot finally got my summer luxe box and its also my first purchase from loose button, a canadian based company. Now this is the original luxe box as I had decided not to upgrade my box since this is my first time and I prefer to have a bit of a surprise instead of knowing what I will be receiving. So excited to open the box now!! 

The box looks really classy and sturdy so I will probably be keeping this box to keep my sample products in. 

  

So far I'm pretty impressed with the presentation of the purchase, all the products are packed nicely in a beige nylon bag with their logo. On to see the products...

I did get 8 products and 2 of products are the same perfume which means I got a bigger sized sample of that perfume hopefully I will enjoy the scent ! One of the perfume boxes was really crappy it was bent and ripped like someone tried to open it or something but the perfume looks fine and luckily I'm not too picky but I just wanted to point that out 

Here's pictures of the individual products enjoy :) So after spraying this both me and my mom don't like this scent since we prefer something lighter and fruity. Not sure what I would do with this since I received 2... 

I have to say this is going my be my favourite blush brush !! It is so soft compared to my other brush set! 

Woot a full sized Olay CC cream hopefully it matches my skin tone well 

It's light to medium so I think it will look fine with my skin tone :) It did blend really nicely to my skin and it felt more liquidy compared with bb cream that I use. 

I have never tried this product and I don't think that a 20 years adult really need to use this Lancome product yet ? Think I will be passing this product to my mom lol

This hand cream smells really nice :) 

I'm happy to get my first Clinique mascara haven't had a chance to try this out but I'm excited. 

I keep losing my hair ties so these will come in handy and they seem to be a bit trendy to just wear as bracelets. 

Overall: I think it's a great box since I did receive better branded items compared to other beauty subscription boxes that I tried out before and gave drug store brands. This box is around $30 so it is a bit pricey but it's a quarterly box and they include 7-8 deluxe items. I did like most the products and I will actually be able to use them too so I will give this a 9/10 only because I got the 2 of the same products which obviously was a mistake, one of the boxes was not good condition and I also didn't like the scent. 

Update*  Wow I wasn't even going to bother about the perfume thing but luxe box actually sent me an email that they had made a mistake with my box since they sent me 2 of the same product so they are going to send me another product beginning of August and I really hope it arrives on my birthday :) Will post pics once I receive it ! So exciting !! 

Update 2: July 31st not even August yet and I received the makeup product. I was surprised they sent me a full sized Essie nail sticker which retails for $12 making my box a retail value of $100 woot! 

First EBay Haul Review

Woot I finally decide to compile all my mini purchases from Ebay together and do a review as they are all from different sellers and takes awhile to receive the products usually ranges from 2-4 weeks. I have been buying on eBay for years but never really shared much about my purchases with online readers so this will be my first eBay haul review :) I will list the store I got each product from and the price I paid at the time of purchase in US currency as each time the currency exchange rate was a bit different so hopefully this will help you guys and enjoy!

32 pcs Makeup Brush set Review

Hey ladies,

Finally, I can remove the 32 pcs makeup brush from my Ebay watch list since I had it on there for quite some time. So my boyfriend sometimes don't know what to get me for gifts and to help him out I gave him my eBay account info so he could access my watch list, buy the items and pay with his own PayPal account. It's not much of a surprise when I receive the item but it is when I get an email that notify me of a purchase which I didn't make. I do get really excited to open a package though!

I'm so glad my boyfriend had bought me this in pink since I did have the black colour in my watch list as well. This is ordered from China and I live in Canada so it did take some time to get here around 2-3 weeks. Then when I opened the package I was really happy that there was no strong chemical smell like some products that I order from China. I was really happy that the colour was the exact same as what was shown and everything was same as the eBay seller had advertised. The leather casing is a bit cheap and the end where the string starts have a little rip which I don't really mind.

All the brushes comes nicely packaged individually as well the brush is soft and it makes a great brush set for beginners. There's a great variety of brushes for face, blush, eyes, lips to experiment with and I still need to figure out what some brushes are for. Overall I thought it was good quality for the price. This brush set cost around $17 CAD (shipping included) at the time my bf had purchased it but I noticed lately the conversion US to Canada is more so it might be a bit more expensive.

P.S- Sorry about the bad lighting in some pictures since it makes it look purple instead of pink don't know why my phone does that!

Sensationail Pink Chiffon Review

I had previously made a post on my senationail kit I bought and this is my tester review of the product. So I had only tested 3 fingers since I didn't want to waste too much product as I work food service so I would only have a few days before I have to remove the gel polish. The first two fingers I used pink chiffon gel polish that came with the kit ( and I really love the color). On the third finger it is a different branded gel polish that I had received a sample from those beauty boxes that I used to subscribe to.

I am so glad I had bought this kit! Honestly, I think it is so worth the $60CAD that I had paid for the kit. My nails actually turned out really nice like I got them done at a salon, I will also get my money worth after doing my nails a few times. Somedays I just feel lazy to head out to get my nails done so this saves the travel time to the salon and the instructions are easy to follow. Have fun with DIY gel nail kit :) 

*Update*- Added a picture of my whole hand painted  in nature lighting 

L'oreal Spring 2013 Colour Riche Nail Trendsetter Collection

These are the newest spring 2013 l'oreal riche nail polish colours that I had won from a twitter contest from l'oreal. The retail price is $6.99 per bottle at shoppers drug mart in Canada. I absolutely love the colours they are so bright, bold and colourful for spring and summer seasons! This is my first time using l'oreal brand nail polish since I usually order my nail polishes from Avon for a lower price.

I find that you need 2 layers for a good smooth coverage. The drying time time are kind of long for these since I tried to do a gelly sandwich and after painting the top gel coat and curing the nail polish starts to squeeze together making weird bump. Next time I will be trying with another brand nail polish to see if it is the nail polish that just doesn't work that well in a gelly sandwich or whether I just need to wait longer for it to dry even more. Well time for me to try out more things with my new nail polishes!

Sensationail Pink Chiffon starter kit review

I'm so excited to try this product out! I recently ordered a Sensationail pink chiffon starter kit online using EBay which took 2-3 weeks to arrive from US to Canada. The reason I bought it online is because I didn't want to wait till it goes on sale and purchasing one would at retail cost $90 + 13% tax which makes it $100+... So instead I was fortunate to find a good US seller who was selling this product for $39USD+ $16USD for shipping so it came up to around $58 CAD paying with PayPal. I didn't have to pay any custom taxes so in the end it was worth the wait since I saved $40 woot! I will be making another post with a review of this product once I finish my exam so stay tuned my readers out there :)
