Recent Purchases ~ Polishes + Shoes!

 Just some stuff I bought recently~ :D

Essie - Tart Deco, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Black Out & White On, Rimmel - English Rose
Can't wait to wear Tart Deco! It looks like such a creamy orangey colour.. sooo cute! I got it at Superstore the other day cuz they had coupons for $2 off their regular $9.99 price... I don't mind maybe 8ish for Essie too much so I just got it~
Aaaaand I've wanted just regular black and white polishes for a while so when I saw these at Walmart.. I figured why not? They're only $2.97 there anyway :x The Rimmel one is also from Walmart.. I think it was $4.97 or something like that.. I threw away the receipt so I can't check xD

Aside from polishes... I also got 2 pairs of sandals today!! So excited ^__^

Aldo Hembre in Ice - $27.99 (sale)
 I love these! They're the ~casual~ ones :D They just look so pretty on ;~; I can't wait to wear them!!

Aldo Hankel in Cognac - $27.99 (sale)
These are the little more dressy ones... It has a 2-ish inch wedge, which makes it realllly comfy :D
Both pairs of sandals were the last sizes at the store! I was sooo lucky! For the Hembres, I got the last pair in the colour and style.. SOOOO LUCKY...

Anyway I'm done for now :p

Today's Short Shopping Trip

Went to Metro with my older bro today cuz he wanted to pick up some stuff... I didn't really feel like shopping much, but I did pick up three things~

Pink floral bangles (comes with 3) - Forever21, $11.80 & Pink bangle w/ triangular detailing - Forever 21, $11.80
These are suuuper cute! The floral ones are a lot like the other floral bangles I picked up not too long ago... from F21 also, so I couldn't give these up, they're too cute! And the other peachy pink one just went so well with the floral ones... :p And there was only one left.. so I was like yeah, why not.

Hello Kitty sunglasses! - 2/$20 or $12 each
My brother wanted a pair of sunglasses from one of those random stands in the mall, and he only wanted one pair, so he told me to get something too... I got these cuz I didn't really like anything else there haha c: They're cute, right? Hope I'll wear them lots, haha...

I know, this is a short post :D But that's all for now! Bye~

Nails ~ Red(?)

This is Essie's Camera from their 2012 Summer line I believe... I previously talked about it. I am SO disappointed to be honest... I expected this colour to be a bright, corally-neony-pink... but it looks so RED. I already have a bright red like this from Essie.. ;~; It's called e-nuf is e-nuf -.- If I wanted red nails, I would have painted it with a RED colour.. but Camera is obviously not a red, judging from the bottle... -sigh- So disappointed. :c

Essie's Camera, The Face Shop's WH005 and OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle (the little moon shapes were placed individually, separate from polish) -- this is 3-4 coats, btw
Essie's Camera
 SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT THIS!! It looks sooo much more pink/corally in the bottle.. Someone could actually say "no.. that's not the colour on your nails..." BUT IT IS.... So disappointed.. :c I want it to come out the way it looks in the bottle... T_T

OPI Servin' Up Sparkle, The Face Shop WH005, little moon-shaped things c:
 These are the things I used on my index, middle and ring finger.

Close-ups of The Face Shop WH005 - look at the little stars ^^ and the little moon shaped things.


-Sigh- So, in conclusion... if you wanted to get Essie's Camera... don't. Unless you really do want a bright red instead of a bright, corally-neon pink.. I guess I should've done some research on the polish before getting it... :c This is the first Essie polish I've been disappointed in. I hope it's the last. :c

I looked up some swatches online...
Swatch from thepolishaholic.com
 This is more like what I want... a jelly-looking neon pinky coral... :c I wish it looked more like this.. Maybe it's cuz I put too many coats on? :/ The blog I got this swatch from doesn't say how many coats they used though :c Sigh~

Swatch from swatchandlearn.com
This is more what it looks like on me.. It's not pink, but an orangey-red. :/ Not what I wanted...
Anyway, that's all for now ._.

Recent Purchases - Clothes & Accessories

Yes! I went shopping again :p I did a presentation earlier today (well... technically yesterday)... and I decided to treat myself afterwards by participating in the glamorous cycle of consumerism hahahah :p Anyway I went to Lougheed again and got some stuff from The Bay and H&M... It's a lot less crowded than Metro and a lot quieter.. so it's more comfortable to shop there heh. c:

Vero Moda top - The Bay, $19.99 (sale)
I got another one of these tops in a different colour xD! I like the other one so much I figured why not... And I think they brought out new stock this week since I didn't see this last week or whatever. Hey, it's only 20 bucks so why not :p

(Top) Expression bracelet - The Bay, $6.99 [sale] + Material Girl cuff - The Bay, $3.99 [sale]  (Bottom) F21 flower bangles, $11.80 + F21 beaded bracelets, $7.80 + Material Girl + Expression    ~of course I won't wear them altogether like this XD
 I know the price tags say $11.99 and $7.99 but all jewelry from that shelf that was $10 and over was reduced to $6.99 and everything under $10 was reduced to $3.99... So I figured again, why not? :p
The Forever 21 bracelets I got some time ago, but I was too lazy to take pictures of them lol, but here they are!

Pink fancy jersey - H&M, $14.95
This is another duplicate.. xD I bought a mint green one just like this a few months ago and I liked it so much but I didn't want to spend $30 at once to get 2 of them.. So I only got that mint green one. I saw these out at H&M yesterday and I just had to get it! Plus it's pink!! I love pink :D I originally wanted to get it anyway and they're soooo relaxed, casual and comfy c:

Mint Green Dress - H&M, $15 (sale)
I tried this on for fun and I loved it so I decided to get it :) It smelled really strongly of perfume though and there's a small brown mark on the skirt part, so I'll definitely wash this before I wear it... Ew. u___u Why do people wear really strong smelling perfume and then go to stores to try on clothes? Dafuq really. Anyway I can't wait to wear this :D I would never wear it by itself, but the detail in the back is really cool... I probably should have taken a picture of that also eh?... Oh well haha :p

EDIT- 
I took a picture of the back! Here it is ^^
Back of the Mint dress c:
I taped the sides up so the back would show properly xD I already wore this once and I love it :D!! P.S sorry bout that lighting.. yikes... my blinds were closed and the lighting messed up so bad.. I tried making it better in PS but this is the result... xD Oh wellies~

Light brown blazer/jacket - H&M, $20 (sale)
 This jacket has such a funny story... I probably saw it at the store in the sale section like 5 or 6 times... And it never got sold. xD I was curious, but there was no price tag on it and I tried it on just to discover the price tag in the pocket. (It said $49.95 so I was like o_o). The first time I tried it on I probably didn't feel like spending that much money that day... or I was just lazy to ask if it had been discounted. Either that or I thought I really had no use for something like this, but today (yesterday...) I finally asked an employee if there was a discount on it and it was only $20! I tried it on in the fitting room before asking, and it fit me really well so I decided that for $20, I might as well get it :p I was like, fated or something to get it anyway haha. This will be perfect for late September/early-mid October so I can't wait to wear it :D!

That's all for now!

Nails ~ Blue/Purple & Polka Dots

 Just a quick nail update... These were done a few days ago and they've started to chip a little bit so they're not in the best condition :p I know it's nothing complicated or intricate, but I was lazy and I needed something on my nails, haha.

Essie's Fill the Gap, Essie Lapis of Luxury, Revlon Blue Lagoon, random white one I got from the Face Shop a few years ago, there's no English name, just some Korean, Seche Vite top coat, dotting tools.

Lapis of Luxury took 3 coast to be opaque, so it was pretty smooth. It's my first time using it on my own nails since I've applied it to Cindy's nails before. Blue Lagoon doesn't have a very smooth finish.. The glitter ends up looking a bit chunky. Not sure if I got unlucky with the bottle, or it's just like that. The formula was pretty good for a light coloured and glittery polish - it took about 3-4 coats too. It's not horrible, but it looks better after applying a top coat.
