The Face Shop: What I Bought

Saturday, July 19, 2014

(A post that is not photography related... :P)

Wanted to make a quick post about what I bought from The Face Shop. Just recently, the Face Shop opened a store in Montreal's Eaton Centre. After checking out the store with Diana, I fell in love and knew that I would go back to buy some products. So I came back today after doing another photoshoot! Unfortunately, I don't have the most money to splurge right now, so I just got myself two products that I had been eyeing the first time around.

Item 1: Hand & Body Cream ~ Gold Kiwi ($5) 

This isn't actually the first time I owned this item. For last Christmas, Diana actually gave me the same hand and body cream but in Green Apple instead. It was my go-to lotion last year and helped with dry hands and arms especially during the winter. So I am looking forward to trying out this scent! I definitely like it better than the strawberry scent.




Item 2: Pastel Cushion Blusher ~ Plum ($9) 

One of the things I like most about this blush (minus actually trying it out) is the fact that it comes in adorable packaging. I am a sucker for good packaging. It also is a nice shade, and since I do have a light complexion, I didn't want to get something too dark or obvious. What I am wary about though is the amount of sparkles in the blush. You can't see it in this photo or on the site, but there's definitely a significant amount of sparkle when you look at the blush. If I do a review, I'll try to use my DSLR to capture the sparkle in the blush. Out of the 5 shades available, 4/5 seem to have some sparkle. Only Pink Cushion doesn't seem to have any (or very little comparatively). 


Anyways, I hope you enjoy this post!

Almost-Summer Haul

Friday, May 6, 2011

So last weekend I spent my entire Saturday with my cousin Diana. We went to Toronto and while walking around the Eaton Centre and Queen Street we managed to pick up a bunch of stuff :). It was really fun and the weather was great (surprisingly)! And after getting my contacts a couple months ago, I managed to snag three pairs of sunglasses as well (all under $15). I still need to buy some pyjamas and undergarments but I guess that'll be for another time.

Here's my haul~ 

 ***accidentally made sunglass plural! 







Pink Sunglass from Urban Outfitters
Sunglass from Black Market Clothing
Sunglass from Forever 21
Bangle from Forever 21
Vintage (Large) Sweater from Black Market Clothing
Star Wars Shirt from HMV
Grey Dress from Urban Outfitters
Bonus! Ice Cream Measuring Spoons from Urban Outfitters (for my friend)

(I'm experimenting with labelling so I hope it's not too weird)

Vintage Mini-Haul and OOTD

Saturday, March 19, 2011

Hey guys! I went and bought vintage items for the first time! I found out about this store called the Foxy Boutique which was closing down and everything in the store was 50% - 75% off. Since vintage is a very big thing in the fashion community, I decided, why not? So I went on Monday to check it out and this is what I came back with:


Since you can't see very well, the belt is this jean blue and gold woven design. So so pretty in real life! And I also found these adorable vintage clip-on earrings that were handmade in Italy! For both, I got them for $5! Not a bad price indeed.

The day after, this was the outfit I ended up wearing:





shirt from H&M
vest from Worth. by David C Wigley at Ukamaku
skirt from Jacob
tights from Zara, hand-me-down
earrings from capitolagirl

If only Vian lives near me so I don't have to resort to a camera on timer... Speaking of which, Vian did a photoshoot with her friend Cynthia (which you can see past shoots here and here) this week and will be posting a series of outfits soon!

March Break Haul

Thursday, March 17, 2011

This is a combination of gifts, and stuff from Montreal and Toronto that I got during this March Break.







Weekend Burberry Perfume (gift)
Chianti Rose Lipgloss Shiseido (gift)
Roxy Cardigan from Simons -$44
Green Sweater from American Eagle -$30
Brown Skirt from Urban Outfitters -$20
Striped Sweater from Urban Outfitters -$30

This is my prom dress! I got it at Lemor, which is a store on Queen Street in Toronto. It cost $260 and is basically this nude kind of colour. My next objective now is to find a nice pair of matching heels to go along with it! 

Buffalo Haul

Sunday, February 20, 2011

I meant to do a haul post for awhile now but never got around to it. Today, my family and I went over to Buffalo to buy some clothes. So it's a perfect opportunity to do a haul post!

I seriously envy you Americans. The prices you have are so darn cheap and I wanted so many things! Unfortunately, I didn't come back with as many things as I wanted. We lost 2-3 hours because of a flat tire so we had less time to shop. My goal was to buy a pair of skinny jeans but sadly I was on a cash limit and wasn't able to get these nice ones from Charlotte Russe because I thought it was $14.99 instead of $29.99.






Boots from Famous Footwear @ $24.99US
Striped shirt from Aeropostale @ $8US
Running shoes from Foot Locker @ $25US
Legwarmers from rue21 etc! @ $1US
Denim half-jacket from Charlotte Russe @ $9.99US

I actually didn't really wanted the boots or legwarmers in the beginning. My mom told me to just get them because they were cheap and after all, she was paying for my purchases.

Hopefully the next time we go to Buffalo, there wouldn't be a flat tire.
