Sephora Inside JCPenny Cleansing Ritual To Go Favourites Bag!

Why did I get this set? I truly have no idea. I plead temporary insanity. The $16 price tag I guess was too much for me to handle!

Inside comes:

• Boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil Gel 30ml/1oz   $7CAD or $5.60 US VALUE  
• Philosophy Mircrodelivery Exfoliating Face Wash 30ml/1oz   $4.13CAD or $3.38 US VALUE  
• First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 1oz/28.3g   $6CAD or $4.75 US VALUE  
• Peter Thomas Roth Pro Strength 40% Triple Acid Peel 1 4ml dose $9.17CAD or $7.33 US VALUE  

I think the only thing in here I really want to try is the Peter Thomas Roth Acid Peel, and at a $7.33 value, I WAY overpaid for this set. Sigh.......... Oh well, guess I have some little travel sized cleansers to gift!

Ulta Exclusive Smashbox On The Rocks Palette

So I showed you all the Smashbox On The Rocks Palette last week (an Ulta exclusive) and while I managed to refrain and NOT buy it this past weekend (for myself), I did get one for a girlfriend. Because its not mine, I wont swatch it, but I will show you all it.  

And inside is a booklet with some how to looks.

And then the gorgeous palette! Just like the Tarte ridiculousness of the names being NOT on the palette in any way but on a plastic sheet that lays over the shadows, that is how this one comes. It is seriously beyond annoying and frustrating. BAH!

Haul From Minnesota!

So yeah, this is what you can expect to see in the upcoming days. I promise I will still review all the Chanel and MAC and such that I bought in Toronto, but I am going to hold off until I can finish and get caught up with all these new and limited edition sets so you can see them in time to make up your mind!

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick Set

What it does:
This collection of stunning hybrid lipsticks makes the perfect gift for anyone who wants to explore and enhance lip looks this holiday season. Formulated with Color Cushion Technology, these lip colors offer incredible 10-hour wear, bold one-swipe application, and enticing velvet-touch comfort that leaves lips feeling supple.

This set comes housed in an edgy-chic, black monochromatic casing designed after Kat's own studded bracelet—made to look as rock 'n' roll as the woman who wears it.

New GWP At Shoppers Drug Mart

So this is the new GWP that will be starting...... This Saturday I think..... Anyways, its starting soon and free with a $125 purchase from a Beauty Boutique. The gift looks ok, but the it seems far disappointing in comparison to the one that Murale just had. That being said, this fake Longchamp tote looks awesome and might be a reason by itself to pick up some goodies!

Holt Renfrew Autumn 2014 Beauty Bag

The price of these bags seems to keep going up and up, this one being $45 and you get considerably less inside. I think it seems to be a trend though that the Autumn ones have far less in them than the spring ones.

That being said, for $45 and $10 off, I am ok with it because the bag is so awesome. I have actually already used the bag and think the value is there for that alone.

Beauty Shopping For A Good Cause

Shoppers Drug Mart had bags on sale for $10 with all the money going to breast cancer. So really, it was a donation to a good cause and I just happened to get makeup!

First Bag: 

Each one of these items (except maybe the soap) all retail for far more than $10, so this was an awesome bag!

And the second bag:

Everything together ($20 spent):

Never happened in on one of these before, and I really like the concept of bags that are clear so its not a mystery what you are getting inside. Reviews on these products are all to come in later posts!
