St Patricks Day at Snakes and Lagers


St. Patrick's day, a day to drink green beer and join in Irish song.
My friends and I went to Snakes and Lagers the sister of Snakes and Lattes, except this one sells drinks. 
Above I had duck fat fries with kimchee mayo - just mouth watering.
Below are more pics and my outfit of the night. I wore simple burgundy skinny jeans from Hollister and grey top from Brandy Melville. Simple and comfy.

Essie Van D'Go

I recently couldn't resist a sale on Essie nail polish. With Spring just around the corner I needed a pastel pink. Out of all pastels I never owned a pastel pink. Van D'Go is a pretty pastel pink that just a bit stronger than a baby pink. I used two coats for my nails and this bottle was $9.49.
 I will be posting a Spring collection of pastel colours that will make everybody stop, stare and compliment your nails.
Thanks for reading.

Origins super spot remover


In the beauty world this is said to be an amazing product that literally is a miracle worker.
The Origins Super Spot remover is said to help banish those unwanted acne for that gorgeous skin.
This product has a huge cult following and all that I've read online have only been positive things about it.
So what's my opinion?

It does the job! I was really curious about the hype and the results people said they saw, so I had to go out and try it out for myself. 
It's a very small bottle, in pictures it looks a lot bigger. It come out in a clear gel form.
When I bought this I didn't have any bumps or acne to test it on, so I hoped to get something so I could properly test it (Who would've though I would be hoping to get acne LOL)


Once it's on your skin it feels cool and tingles for a bit. Then you don't realize it's there. It drys and flakes, after about 20 minutes I wash it off. 
BEWARE: if your expecting it to work after one use your going to be disappointed. Use the product for 1-3 times a day for results.

I truly enjoyed this product and I'm happy to own it. You don't need to use a lot to get results and this bottle will last you for months to come. At $17.50 it seems expensive but for the amount it is worth the price.

Thanks for reading!

Brandy Melville outlet sale

Brandy Melville made big news over instagram when they announced their Spring sale. When I got their with my friend at the international centre it seemed things had calmed down. All though there weren't as many options as I would have liked to seen, I still managed to find some really cute things for spring and summer. The best part about Brandy Melville is that you never have to search for sizes - one size fits all.

All of their jewelry were a $1. Sadly all that was left were a couple of bracelets but no complaints here.





These cute floral shorts were I swear the last pair I saw and I had to have them. They are stretchy and were only $5. I can easily pair these with a simple cami and throw a jeans jacket over.

Im not usually skirt person, seriously! If im being honest I can't remember the last time I wore a skirt but something about this pattern got me. I saw this same pattern online and I've been wanting one for a while. I would wear this kinda in punk rock fashion with see through black tights, leather jacket and a graphic cropped tee. The skirt is high waisted and was only $5

This dress "Rin" I saw online and is $33 I got this for $10 and was probably the most expensive item I bought. It has a low back and the straps criss cross with a cutout on the side. Link to see how to dress looks on.

I've had my eye on this top because I love simple big loose tops that I put anything with and it will just work. A simple part of jeans, toque and your good to go. This top was $5 and has little slits along the front for some added detail.

The rest below are just a couple of crop tops and muscle tees. All were $5




Overall it was an amazing day. I got some really great deals, felt like a shopping pro and finished off my day with pho and green tea (Im in heaven)
Good friends, good food, good fun!

Sephoras Little Surprises


My haul of fun from Sephora today. I decided to give myself a little treat since it's my birthday this week and also kill two birds with one stone and get my free gift from Sephora.

 
I've been in desperate need or more my nails have been in need of a good buffer. My current buffer looks like it's been through war and back and it wasn't as great as I hoped when I originally bought it, but it was a bargain so no complaints.
I've read pretty good reviews for this pack of buffers and at $10 for three it's not that bad of a price, as long as they get the job done.


This is Sephoras free birthday day gift this year. It's from my of my favorite brands EVER! I don't think anyone can truly hate Make Up For Ever. They give you their Smoky Extravagant mascara and a lipstick Rouge Artist Natural N9.


I needed a lip liner to do my nude lips when I go out, so this lip liner helped to blend lipsticks smoothly and seamlessly. The brand is by Sephora in the colour 07 cheery chestnut. This was $9.


Two free samples of perfume. 
So far I've tested Paris by Balenciaga and it has a really baby powder smell. Very soft and light and last all day.


This one I had to test out for myself and is one of the products that I'm most excited about. I've heard and read a lot of great things about this product and it's ability to help vanish zits and acne. Since puberty hit I've being getting one or two zits and they only seem to pop up in the same place and at the wrong time. Hopefully this will help my acne woes. Fingers crossed.

More in depth reviews to come for products.
