Buffalo Shopping Haul | 2016

Hey everyone! I went to Buffalo on Sunday and wanted to share with you what I bought! I purchased more smaller items rather than higher ticketed items because I didn't even expect to find anything that caught my eye!

My friend wanted to check out rue 21 and I had never been inside one of their stores so needless to say, I was excited to go in! There is a lot of merchandise in-store and we didn't have much time to browse. I just picked up whichever items I found to be interested or if I liked the packaging, I bought it because I am a sucker for cute packaging! The fuzzy heart shaped keychain was too adorable to pass-up and it is very soft! It will look perfect on my new grey purse once I finally begin using it! I wasn't a fan of the other similar keychains with faces on them. 

I have no idea how well their brand of makeup wipes work but they were only $4 and it is easy to travel with or throw in my purse. I bought the bamboo earrings because they were 50% off and I only paid $2.50 for them! I used to have a much larger pair of these back in the day but they started turning green and I threw them out! These are my replacement for those and I hope that I don't have the same problem again. Lastly, you already know that I am obsessed with sheet masks lately and I purchased one of each kind that they had. I am excited to use them and I asked the sales associate about them but she said that she hadn't used them yet therefore, she couldn't speak to me about them. I will be sure to keep you posted though!

The brown purse is from Payless Shoes and it was on a sale rack right when I walked in. It said that it was 50% off which I assumed would be $15 from the original price of $30. When I got to the cash, she took an additional 50% off and I used a 20% off coupon leaving me to pay only $6.50 for this lovely purse!

The next stop was Love Culture inside Fashion Outlets. I was surprised to see them there because I remember shopping there a while back and I thought that they had closed. Anyway, regardless of the situation, I was glad to see them back again! I didn't want to try-on any of their cute clothes because like I had mentioned, we didn't have much time to spare and I focused mostly on accessories. I had been wanting a white hat like for quite some time and this one was only $6 and I couldn't pass that up! The gold spike necklace will be great for layering with other necklaces and was also $6. When I was checking out, I found a pack of my favourite hair ties for under $2 and had to add them to my basket! 

Surprisingly, I only purchased a travel sized hand cream at ULTA because I knew that if I was left along in that store for more than 20 minutes, I could do some serious damage. I have heard nothing but good things about the Soap & Glory brand and decided to try-out their Hand Food Cream.

And then I stumbled across some interesting food items that I couldn't pass up!

 There is a store I love going inside called It's Sugar which has such fun items that you really can't find anywhere else! I randomly found Pancake & Maple Syrup flavoured Jelly Bellies that I had to buy! I then went to Walgreens and found three bizarre yet interesting flavours of Pringles: Cheese Burger, Chile Con Queso & Tangy Buffalo Wing. The Cheese Burger Pringles actually taste like a legitimate cheese burger and the Chile Con Queso are my favourite out of the three! The Tangy Buffalo Wing are decent and are indeed tangy. Lastly, I can't go to Buffalo and not buy the pink frosted donuts from Dunkin Donuts! I purchased every single one that they had! 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Why I Love Warehouse Shopping | Adidas Warehouse Sale 2016

Hey everyone! I went to the Adidas Warehouse sale a few days ago and even though I waited 2 hours to check-out, I must say that it was worth it! I will start off by saying that I was disappointed in the women's selection of clothing and bought ALL men's clothing because I liked the styles much better.

This first bomber jacket was the only one that I seen and I found it randomly when I was standing in the check-out line. When I got to the cash, there was no tag attached and she gave me this jacket for only $25! The style number on this jacket is AB7671 in-case you are wondering and is in a size small. I love the side pockets and the interior pockets!

Here is the next bomber jacket that I purchased. I knew that I would get good use out of it and I have been wearing this almost every single day! It goes with pretty much everything and I am obsessed with the interior because it is camo! The style number is AB9686. I paid $30 for it and is in size small.

This next jacket is probably one of my favourite items that I bought from the entire sale. It is called a Greeley Insulated Jacket and the style number is S89036. I only paid $50 and it is a size small. They refer to it as a snowboarding jacket online but even though it is oversized, it is very warm and I can't wait to style it!

I also managed to find this zip-up when I was standing in line. I love that it is all black and the stripes going down the side are matte. Another woman asked me if I was purchasing it because if not, she would and I told her that it was mine. I didn't find any others like it and there was a black & white version of it but I didn't like it at all. The style number is AB7770 and is in a size small. Only paid $25 for it. The stripes look more grey on camera but they are in-fact black in-person. 

I was honestly debating about this hoodie for a decent amount of time but I am glad that I decided to pick it up. It is extremely warm and I love the detail on it! The hood is what sold me on it. I will be wearing it when I run errands or if I am just hanging around the house on a more chill day. It is in size small and I only paid $25 for it. The style number is AB3527.

I came across this crewneck when I was rummaging through a bin in the men's section and this was the only one that I seen still in the plastic! I pulled it out and knew that I had to have it because it is so unique! It is in size large and will be very oversized but I am okay with that. It is navy and the Adidas logo is a snakeskin print and it continues on the back on the sweater. It was only $25 and the style number is AC0487.

The last item that I picked up was this amazing vest! I was looking for a smaller size earlier in the day when I was at the sale, but I accidentally came across a size small while I was waiting in-line! It was meant to be! There were also other people looking at it, picking it up and putting it down. I quickly grabbed it and I am overall so happy and excited to start styling it! The style number is AB3536 and I paid $25.

I spent over $200 but honestly, think about how much I saved. I didn't think twice about many of the items other than the one hoodie that I had previously mentioned. If I had paid full retail price for these items, it would have been closer to $1,000. I didn't see any shoes that caught my eye and this warehouse sale versus the last one that I went to last year, was more apparel focused which I didn't mind.

I will definitely be attending the next sale and I suggest you do too!  It was at the International Centre in the GTA. It is worth it and remember to go in with an open mind and you won't be disappointed! 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

April Empties | 2016

Hey everyone! Long time no talk! I didn't have enough items earlier in April to do an empties blog post so I waited a few extra days until I finished up some more items.

Hair

Selsun Blue Anti-Dandruff Shampoo - This one with the red label is my least favourite to be quite honest with you. There is only 1% of Pyrithione Zinc which is less than other formulas. I find it to be not as effective to battle my oily/dry scalp.

Oral Hygiene

Equate Flosser Picks (90 Count) - I purchased these at Wal-Mart and they did the job well! They are affordable and do not break while using! I definitely recommend these!

Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste - I am really not a huge fan of this product but what I do like about it is that it comes in the gel formula. It is inexpensive and I have stocked up on these so I must get through them!

Face

Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream for Combination/Oily Skin - This is an item that I purchased at The Body Shop when they sent me a 50% off coupon which I used on this item. I found it to be hydrating but it did not help with my skin type. I would not repurchase this. I did like that it absorbed quick into the skin and I used it in the morning before I applied my makeup.

Hands

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Oh Snap! - I have mentioned this before and I really can't get enough of the packaging! I am a huge sucker for packaging and aside from that, the gingerbread scent is absolutely heavenly! 

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Vanilla Bean Noel - I have been using this scent for years and love a great vanilla scent!

Bath & Body Works Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in Perfect Beach Day - This scent is amazing! On the side of the bottle, it is described as having the following inside, "watery melon, young coconut and sparkling bergamot." I already want to buy another bottle of it! You need to smell it for yourself!

Body

Bath & Body Works Body Lotion in Carried Away - I have known about this scent for quite some time and have repurchased it many times. At first, it can seem rather strong but it wears nicely throughout the day. The notes are: raspberry, white jasmine and vanilla. It is perfect to wear around Valentine's Day!

Johnson's Baby Soothing Vapour Bath - I am a huge fan of Johnson's baby products and wanted to try something new out. I wasn't a huge fan and the formula is quite liquidy. I will go back to my other favourite products from the same brand!

Face Masks

The Face Shop Character Mask - This particular one has brightening properties and it is a fun mask to use! I found my skin to be tighter and very subtle after use! It is paraben free and I will want to use this again in the future!

Life Brand Hydrating Facial Sheet Mask with Hyaluronic Acide & Konjac - It claims to be hydrating and to also smooth the skin. I would have to agree and it was very affordable at Shoppers Drug Mart. They have many different ones to choose from!

Life Brand Brightening Facial Sheet Mask with Ouija & Scutellaria Extract - I have been on a sheet mask kick lately if you haven't been able to tell! This one promotes radiance and brightens your skin. I say that their claims are true and that it is a very easy product to use! You only leave it on for 10-15 minutes.

Samples

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths - I used up 4 of these and they are such great wipes! I will definitely purchase a pack of my own once I am out of wipes!

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleaner for Face & Body (All Skin Types) - I finished an entire bottle of this product a few years back and I forgot how much I liked it! It helps break-down my makeup and does not irritate my eyes!

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion for Body (All Skin Types) - Same deal, I went through a bottle of this awhile back and it really absorbs quickly into the skin after a shower! My only issue with these two packets is that you HAVE TO use scissors to open them and I didn't have them close-by which led to much frustration to get it open.

The Face Shop Verbena Soothing Body Cleanser - I was given two free samples at the store with my purchase and the scent was very light as well as refreshing! It was extremely pleasant to use and I enjoyed these samples very much!

L'Occitane Milk Concentrate for Body - This was a great body lotion that I even used on my face! It is lightly fragranced and absorbed quickly into the skin with no sticky feeling being left behind.

Lionesse Gem Skin Care White Pearl Day Moisturizer - This is apparently a $200 skin care item if you buy the full-sized version. It does feel luxurious and did not make my face break-out but I don't like it enough to drop $200 on it.

The Body Shop Oils of Life - It says that it is an intensely revitalizing facial oil. I wouldn't use the word "intensely," but other than that, I would have to agree. I used it at night and my face felt fresh in the morning when I woke up.

The Body Shop Drops of Youth - Youth Cream - I REALLY enjoyed using this cream! It wasn't too thick and really penetrated into my skin. It was so soft the next day and I am wanting to purchase a larger size when I go through my other skin care products! I can't say enough good things about it!

Kaizen Naturals Whey Protein in Vanilla Bean - I want to give a shoutout to this company for sending me a sample of their product! I previously had a bad experience with another brand of protein powder and was skeptical to try another one. I am certainly glad that I did because this one tasted like a vanilla milkshake! I just added the entire packet to my water and stirred for 20-30 seconds are directed on the back. Some benefits are that it is: gluten free, there are no artificial colours or flavours, it is sweetened with Stevia, from grass fed cows and there is low temp filtration. There are 24 grams of protein, only 120 calories and only 1 gram of sugar which is amazing! I had a great experience using it and am excited to see which other flavours they have!

Miscellaneous

Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin and Nails Gummies with Biotin - These vitamins really need no introduction because I speak about them all the time. Basically, they are my holy grail and help my hair as well as my nails grow long & be strong!

TUMS Antacid Ultra Strength 1000 mg in Peppermint (72 Count) - I have been using TUMS for over a decade and always have some in my purse. They have helped me on numerous occasions as well as my friends! I can't be without them.

Secret Scent Expressions Antiperspirant in Va Va Vanilla - This is in my top 3 favourite deodorants of all time and it is vanilla scented! I can't say no to that!

BIC Soleil Twilight Razors (5 Count) - These are incredible and really help me get a close shave! The only downfall is that they dull very quickly and I find myself replacing them quicker than I would like to. 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
