May Empties | 2016

Hey everyone! This blog post is a few days late and I wasn't sure if I would post it at all because I didn't finish very many products last month. However, I still wanted to get something up for you and decided to post it anyway. 

Hair

L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Re-Nutrition Intense Mask - This product contains royal jelly and it is "active serum enriched." It lasted me quite a long time and I really did enjoy using it. My hair felt softer and more moisturized after using it! I would put it in my hair before I would go to sleep, put my hair in a bun and wash it out the following morning. I would definitely repurchase this product because it is effective and it is very affordable!

Face

Classic Clean Sea Breeze Original Formula - This is an astringent and it claims that it 'deep cleans down to the pores' with a 'tingling, refreshing feeling.' I would have to agree. I had previously used the blue formula for sensitive skin and I would have to say that I prefer that one much more!

Life Brand Skin Firming Peel-Off Face Mask in Honey & Caramel - It is free of parabens and it claims to "hydrate and tightens skin." I did notice that it did both however, I did not smell any caramel at all. It is rather on the messy side because it is a peel-off mask. Also, when applying, make sure that you put on a nice evenly coated layer because if you apply it too thick, it will take forever to dry and it will not be fully dried when you decided to peel it off making a very messy situation for you to deal with.

rue beaute! Grapefruit Vitamin Rich SOS Hydrating Face Mask - I actually found that my skin drank up this face mask! It is extremely hydrating like the name suggests and I really enjoyed using it!

rue beaute! Blueberry Extract Emergency Makeover Face Mask - These sheet masks are very easy to use and I enjoyed the scent of this mask!

rue beaute! Coconut Hydration Rehab Your Skin Face Mask - I would suggest checking out these sheet masks because they are only $1.99 USD for one and they do wonders for your skin!

rue beaute! Hangover Ginseng Face Mask - It claims that it is 'soothing and hydrating for even skin.' I love the packaging and the word 'hangover' made me laugh and that is why I purchased this mask in the first place to be honest with you.

Body

Secret Scent Expressions Clear Gel Antiperspirant in Cocoa Butter Kiss - This is a great smelling deodorant but I feel as though I need to reapply throughout the day. I really like the clear formula!

Hands

Bath & Body Works Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in Driftwood Surf - I absolutely love this scent and it reminds me of men's cologne! It is "a blend of: nectarine blossom, ocean driftwood and warm amber."

Bath & Body Works Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in Watermelon Lemonade - This scent was decent but I would not repurchase it. It isn't one of my favourites sadly. I wish there was more of a watermelon scent than a lemonade scent to it.

Samples

Orange Naturals MagPop! in Tangy Orange - I received these three samples to review and I always keep it 100 as you all know. I did thoroughly enjoy these because of the convenience factor and also, it is great for taking on the go! The orange flavour is great and you can read more of my thoughts regarding this product.

Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand & Face Wipes in the Citrus Scent - These come in very handy! They don't take up much room in your purse and I even can clean various surfaces using these!

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths - I have a lot of individual packs of these and you will see them quite frequently in my upcoming empties blog posts! I adore these wipes and remove all of my makeup!

Benefit Dew The Hoola - My friend gave me this sample to try-out and even though I haven't ever owned the original Hoola Bronzer in powder form, I have swatched it in Sephora multiple times. I can tell you that the original formula is much better than the liquid bronzer. I do not like it because even though it is easy to apply with a beauty blender, it shows up very light on my skin even though I am on the more fair side. I wish it was darker in colour and do not recommend this to anyone with tan skinned or even darker than that!

Josie Maran Vibrancy Argan Oil Foundation Fluid in Juicy RG50 - My friend also gave my this sample to test and this shade worked pretty well for my skin tone! I loved the formulation and it did not oxidize on me throughout the day. My skin looked flawless and I loved the coverage that it gave my skin! I would say that it is a medium to full-coverage foundation. I applied it using my beauty blender and it looked fantastic! The price tag is a bit steep as one bottle retails for $55 CAD. Also, the finish is more dewy because there is argan oil inside. I would recommend setting it with a good powder before going on about your day.

Stay tuned this week because I have a fun blog post coming out & I will be posting another Project 10 Pan blog post shortly!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

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.
