...NO! not those kind of benefits...haha. 
Today I went to a local beauty supply store and scored some wicked deals. I guess that's one benefit of being in the industry. I found China Glaze Crackle polishes for $5.25CAD(regularly $9.95CAD). I picked up some for my friend and actually one, the black  for myself. 
I only picked up the black one for myself because I was not sure if I really would like the crackle polish on myself. 

I also picked up some cute lashes. They were only $3.99 and $2.99. I am wanting to do a tutorial very soon using them both. 


Have you tried the China Glaze crackle polishes? What did you think of them?


Did you know? Crackle polishes have been out for longer then you probably knew. Covergirl released crackle polishes in 2000. 

Job Haul

As someone who works in the cosmetics industry, I am constantly attending schools, seminars and receiving free products to try out. Recently I have received quite a bit to try out. Check them out, if you have tried them, I'd love to hear what you thought of them. 

First off is the whole line of Nexxus Promend hair products that help to mend existing split ends. I'll try this out and review it for sure. So far, so good. 

Secondly I attended a Clarins school and received a few new products that will be launching this year.

Next up is the new fragrance from Escada, Taj Sunset. MMMmmmm. love it!

And lastly is the new Nair Ultra Precision facial hair/eyebrow roll on wax. Don't know if I'll use this one.... we'll see. Apparently the wax is washable!

Mini Nail Haul and NOTD: ESSIE: Neo Whimsical Lilacism

So today I went to London Drugs(a drugstore here in Western Canada and Canada wide online) and picked up a few items. Funnily, all for nails! Check them out:

First I picked up two more colours of the Sally Hansen nail art pens. I had picked some up a while ago and liked them. Plus they were on sale from $8.99CAD to $3.49CAD each.... what a steal! They are super easy to use.

Next I picked up Seche Vite Dry Fast top coat. I seriously have never tried this one. I initially went in for my OPI top coat, however after seeing it on many many blogs, I couldn't resist to try it. I have it on my nails now, and am quite impressed so far. $9.99CAD

I picked up the Fran Wilson Nail tees because I always paint a little polish on my fingers. And thought I would give them a try. $3.49CAD 

Next is my NOTD. I used two Essie polishes, and just alternated colours for each nail. They are both pastel colours and I thought it would be cute to do. I used three coats of each polish(Neo Whimsical and Lilacism) on each nail and one coat of Seche Vite top coat. Check them out:

A Collective Haul(VIDEO) and Swatches!

Hey darlings, how was your Halloween weekend? Mine was really awesome! 
I did a little haul before halloween and didn't have a chance to post it till now... so I hope you all enjoy it! 

I did some swatches of some of the products because my camera is not so great for seeing them!
First the Bourjois sweet kiss lipstick in 42 Rose Habille:

Collective Haul..a lot of everything...

Wow this is quite a massive haul I have here. It has kinda grown in one day... no I did not buy all these products. I received a lot of these products from my amazing work.

I haven't posted in a few days only because I have been sick as well as I worked over the holiday(Thanksgiving here in Canada). Plus that I cooked a 20lbs turkey for 10 people. 

Obviously with all these recent hauls, I do have a lot of swatches and reviews that need to be done. I will try to do that ASAP. Also I have been meaning to do a contest for a while now. I think I should do a mini one to make up for not doing one in a while.
