Sonia Kashuk 15th Anniversary Nail Polish Collection

I had so much trouble getting a photo out of the outer packaging since it was so shiny and kept showing a glare and reflection! All of the photos looked a bit odd so I'll just be showing the photos without the outer packaging. It wasn't that special anyways, just a clear top with the brand, |Sonia Kashuk, and "15th anniversary" 

This came with 15 mini nail polishes and it was on clearance at Target for $10! That's $0.75 per bottle! I was so happy to find this and couldn't pass it up! Most of the shades are red, pinks and purples but there are a few different shades. Most of the shades are colors I have nothing like already! The brush on these are fairly large (not quite as large as Insta Dri). I've tried the green polish and it took 2 coats to look opaque! It chipped withing the first 2/3 days however most polishes do on me.

None of the polishes have shade names which is too bad. I really like all of the polishes and they're all very Fall & Spring like! I would definitely recommend checking out your local Target for some great deals like this!

 

Target clearancea: Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Bonus Set

The other day I made a quick trip to Target, looking for a gift for a friend. Of course I had to check out the clearance section while I was there! They didn't have as many good deals as usual but this one caught my eye. It's a kit consisting of a razor, 2 cartridges, a mini shaving gel and a Covergirl nail polish. 

It was on clearance for $4.03! When purchased separately, one razor is nearly $10! A full size of the shaving gel (7 oz) is $2.74, the mini has 2.5 oz. And a full sized Covergirl nail polish is $5.99!

The set has a value of nearly $17!

It also came with a $4 off coupon of blade refills. 

I'm glad it's all for sensitive skin since my skin is super sensitive!

The polish is in out of the blue and I don't have any shades like this.

I've used the razor once and I feel like there are too many blades but I'll continue to try it out!

Bye!

Elf at Canadian Targets?

I was wandering around Target the other day and I noticed a new display of makeup. I got closer and realized that it was elf! I always stock up on elf products when I'm in the US because it's super difficult to find much in Canada. The display I saw only had their studio line and not the essential or mineral line. My favorite is the essential line but this is better than nothing! Sorry for the photo quality, I was using my phone. I'm not sure if all Targets have started selling elf, but I sure am glad I found one that does!

 The prices are a bit more than in the US. Products that are $3 in the US are $4 and some of their $6 are $8 here.

Let me know if you've seen elf products at your Canadian Targets!

April Collective Haul + What I got for my Birthday 2014! ~ 1 year Blog Anniversary!

Hello Everyone!
I started my blog 1 year ago today! I can't believe I've been blogging for a year! I wasn't really sure what to do for my 1 year post so I thought I'd just keep it simple and post a haul. This will include everything I've bought throughout April, as well as some gifts I received for my Birthday!
Huge hanks to everyone who has read my blog throughout this past year!

Birthday “Haul”:

Starting out with gifts I received from friends and family for my birthday. I'd just like to say I am extremely thankful for anyone who wished me Happy Birthday and gave me a card or gift. I didn't expect to be spoiled this much, and I am so thankful to have such great family and friends!

I am also jot trying to brag in anyway and I hope you can understand that.

Of course I had to start with the makeup & nails portion! 

I was absolutely speechless when I opened the NAKED 2 palette. I have been eying this palette for years and now I finally have it! I also received this gorgeous Revlon palette with some great neutrals. I received various beautiful nail polishes, Revlon nail buffers and the Sephora free birthday gift!

Everyone knows me so well, haha!

I received quite a few scented products. I have the Kokeshi Cheery perfume, Benefit "Rita" perfume, and the Victoria's Secret Passion Struck perfume and body butter. Everything smells so divine!

I was given some absolutely gorgeous jewelry! I cannot wait to wear all of this, everything is completely my style! First off, I got a couple of necklaces (left), from some friends which I believe are from Target. I also got a stud set which is perfect. My parents gave me this spectacular initial necklace from an Etsy shop. It is the perfect length and the chain is so dainty!

I got a few clothing items which I'm in love with. The skirt on the left is from Hollister and it fits perfectly! The hoodie is from PINK and the color is amazing! I also got a pair of no-show socks from Steve Madden. 

These two items didn't really fit into a specific category so they're just on their own!

I got a new water bottle which I'm super happy about because I really needed one! I also got a curling wand, and I cannot wait to use it. I've never had a curling wand so I'm extremely excited!

 

 A got a few other things that I actually just opened today, since I'm having a family dinner tonight! I was super excited to receive the Physicians Formula blush I had wanted as well as the Q&A d ay journal!

 

I got some food! I've already actually eaten a pack of sour cherries, haha!

Also received some gift cards which I'm looking forward to using. I've already got my eye on something at Sephora and I just ran out of my old Starbucks gift card. I also am super excited to see some new movies!

That's everythings I got for my Birthday, thank you so much to everyone!

 Moving on to what I bought during April!

I got quite a few drugstore items ,which I'm not going to go over everything because that would take forever!

I also got some new hair and body products!

I bought these mini boxes of chocolates around Easter for only $1 at Target. I probably shouldn't have got 5 but don't worry, I've only eaten 1, so far! 

A few more drugstore bits! The Apocalips is in Phenomenon.

Kind of an odd, childish purchase but I got these Smackers body mists and they smell so sweet!

I did some shopping at Urban Outfitters. I got this over-sized sweater on clearance for $30 + 30% off. I got a size way too big and it's more like a dress on me, oh well! I also got a scrunchie on sale for $2.99 + 30% off and I'm in love with it!

I got another top at Winners by the brand paper + tee. It's an adorable baby pink crop top with an incredible pattern along the bottom. 

The last thing I got, was this beautiful maxi dress from Target. I've never owned a maxi dress but I fell in love with this one. it was on sale for $25!

That's about it! I know this was a super long post, but I hope you enjoyed anyway!

Again, a big thanks to everyone who made my Birthday extra special!

Bye!

Elf Haul!

Hello everyone! Today I'm bringing you an elf haul! I picked up quite a few elf products while I had the chance and I'm really excited to try them out. 

First of all, I got 7 products from the essentials line, which each cost $1.

I've been in need of an eyelid primer for quite some time, and I've heard great things about this one so I gave it a try. I also got a black eyeliner,  clear mascara and brow gel and a shimmering facial whip. I got a pair of false lashes because I've actually never tried any. I'm really excited to try them out and it's great that they come with glue! I picked up a new eyelash curler and a blending brush to try out.

 These next 2 products are also from the essentials line, but these were $2 each. I got a jumbo eyeshadow stick in "Rock Out" (it was the last one!) and I was so happy to see that it twists up (much easier than sharpening). Also, I got a flawless eyeshadow quad in "Happy Hour".

I picked up 1 thing from the holiday gift sets and it's the 6 piece eyeshadow compact. The colors are super pretty and so is the packaging. It only cost $3!

And finally I picked up a few pieces from their studio line.

I got a backup of the daily brush cleanser, because I like to spot-clean my brushes daily. Speaking of brushes I got a small stippling brush which is perfect for blending concealer. Next I got 2 cheek products. The first is just a blush. there wasn't much shade selection so I went with "Tickled Pink".

I also got the contouring blush and bronzer kit. At the time, I had no idea there were different shades so I just picked a random one and ended up with "St. Lucia". I probably would have chosen "Antigua" now that I've looked on the website, but "St. Lucia" is pretty too!

That's all I got!

I will most likely end up doing in-depth review of some of these products. Let me know which ones you'd like to see, Bye!

I apologize for the quality of these photos. I'm trying to figure the perfect lighting and background for my blog. Also the resolution got messed up during transferring.

Target Haul

 So today I went to Target for the first time which was amazing! There were lot's of new things I'd never seen before. I filled my basket and already can't wait to go back. 

It's a bit of a longer post today due to the pictures.

 Here's most of the stuff I bought. I also bought some clothes but I might do a different post on that.

Here's and overview of what I got.

The skincare items I purchased

From left to right: Simple eye makeup remover, St. Ives fresh skin apricot exfoliating scrub, Clean & Clear cream cleanser, Simple cleansing face wipes.

Left to right: Covergirl BB cream, TRESemme strengthening dry shampoo, Dove deodorant, up&up shave gel, Sonia Kashuk  limited edition kabuki

Close up of BB cream

I needed a new BB cream and I chose this covergirl one. It was around $8.

The only thing I dislike that I didn't realize when I bought it, is that it doesn't have SPF which is important during the warm months.

I got the sonia kashuk brush couture kabuki. The main reason I went to target was to check out sonia kashuk. I like the pattern and I believe this brush is limited edition.

That's all for today, I'm not sure if I'll make a post on the clothing or not.

Bye!
