Long Time No See + Haul

Yea, I know, I've been so bad and I didn't post anything for a while. This is really bad. I had exams in January and I was so swamped and then I have a competition going on right now which is also taking up a lot of time. But I'm updating now and I'll be updating more for sure in the future now that I have a lot of spare time. Now I've had a recent haul, or a series a small hauls that I didn't post up. Mostly clothes though, I haven't really been buying beauty related things since I've been lazy (bad bad bad!). I was going to do a review on the Covergirl Natureluxe Gloss Balms but I lost the one I had in Marble so I'm just testing out the other one which is in coral. It will be out for sure sometime this week.


This was from today at Urban Outfitters, I looked through their sale section and I was so happy when I found this! I've been eyeing this bag for a long time because it's so cute but I thought $42 was too much for it. But today I managed to find it for only $20! I was so happy. On the Urban Outfitters site it's $24.99 now which is still more than what I bought instore. And that's in US dollars I believe. You see it right here.



Next I bought this blush from Urban Outfitters for $16. It's on the Sephora site in a set with 2 lip glosses but it's not in store and I wanted it really badly because I saw swatches of what a nice coral shade it is. I've tried it once after I took a picture of it and the gold over spray was gone right away. It's a really nice natural colour and I love it. I was also thinking of getting the Physician's Formula Happy Booster one but it's so expensive compared to this one, it was like $20 I believe? I'll have to check again. Damn you Canadian pricing!

This shirt is Talula from Aritzia. I got it for $20. It's very warm and comfy and I really like wearing it at home.

I got this shirt at Urban Planet, a lot of Urban Planets are having closing sales and I managed to snag this for only $5. Lace has been really popular lately. It's very elegant and I really like how the shoulders were a bit scrunched with the lace. It looks really nice matched with a statement necklace.
This is actually a black cardigan, I think the flash washed it out a bit. It was from Bluenotes and it was $15. It's very comfy and warm and I wear it a lot now.
I got this cardigan from Forever21 for about $21. Varsity style clothing seem to be really in right now and I couldn't pass up on this cute cardigan. It's not very warm so I always have to wear something underneath. I think it's better for warmer weather.

This is a bad cellphone pic I took when my camera wasn't readily available haha. I bought a pair of American Eagle tights for only $5! Such a good steal. I also bought the L'oreal Studio Secrets Primer because I haedr it worked really well and I was curious. Really expensive though, about $15. Since Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipsticks were on sale I bought one in Metallic Mauve for about $3. I really like the colour and these lipsticks are actually moisturizing!


Another crappy cellphone pic. I bought two necklaces off a girl on Facebook. They're both really pretty. The key necklace is really nice and has a lot of pretty charms on it. The glasses necklace has become my new favourite necklace, it's so easy to match clothes plus it's really cute.

I have some more goodies to show you but I think I will do it in another post tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day everyone, or Single Awareness Day haha.

Fixing Broken Eyeshadow

During the summer my sister bought me the Stila It Girl Palette and I was overjoyed! But then after I used it the first time I accidentally dropped it and all the eyeshadows were fine except for Kitten! So I fixed it not along ago. For those who don't know, you can fix broken powder products with rubbing alchol. Since this was my first time it was super messy! I did end up getting the loose shadow everwhere but I had a sample jar from Sephora and I kept the loose shadow in there.

This is how it looked like. You can see the loose shadow everywhere and how crushed up the shadow looks. I too off the loose shadow and put it in

the Sephora container like I said before and left it for a bit so that most of the alcohol would evaporate. Then I put a tissue with a jar on it so that it will be flatter when it is completely dry.

Now this is how it looks with the loose shadow in the container.

Yay! Now it's fixed! It doesn't look perfect but better than nothing! The shadows in this palette are buttery smooth but they are packed kinda loosely so I guess I have to be more careful in the future with them. It looks slightly darker as a loose shadow in the container but nonetheless when used it's the same =)

I seem to have the worst luck because the next day low and behold. I dropped my Benefit Cream Eyeshadow in RSVP! I was so upset because that's my favourite eyeshadow base. I was scared I didn't have a container for it and that it would dry up. I don't mind going out to get the full sized version because it's on 22 bucks and I love it so much. This was from the Benefit To Go set I think, but I think I'm going to grab the full sized when I have time. Or maybe get one in a different colour. This is how the jar looked like when it smashed. Sorry for the lighting, don't know what happened. I had already taken out the cream eyeshadow by this time.

I had a jar from my Korres lip butter so I put it all in their. Hopefully it won't dry up too quickly. It looks like this now.

It was a bit messy but nonetheless I still have my cream shadow! Hopefully I'll have time to go pick up a full size since school is seriously killing me now!

Ok this was a pretty long post. I hope I don't break anything anymore. Oh well, toodles.

First haul in a while

Well not really? I've been on a no buy, I've decided to save my money until I get another job, just because I don't have that much x.x I spend way to much on make up. Anyway I stopped by Shoppers Drug Mart and I wanted to pick up a dry shampoo since my was almost done and I can't live without that stuff anymore! But they didn't have any! I looked all over the place so in the end I found the Tresemme Foam Shampoo and that requires no water! I was seriously intrigued! It's was on sale for 5 bucks too so I thought why not. I haven't tried it yet, but when I do I hope it's good because it's a pretty big bottle and I don't want all of it to go to waste.

I also happened to find the Stila Travel Palettes when I went to check out! They're $13 CDN or $10US but nonetheless still a great deal. They come with 4 eyeshadows and a Stila Convertible Colour, which I love. I only have one in Orchid but I'm hoping to expand my collection because they are awesome! I will provide swatches later with another Stila palette I have since it's night and they don't show up so well on camera right now. Really need to find my Nikon Coolpix but I can't find it anywhere.

Good night~

Hi everyone!

I'm Lychee (not my real name) and today I am opening my new beauty blog! *claps* I am a huge shopaholic and I thought I'd share my experiences with the different beauty products I tend to buy so often.

Some things I'd like to say about myself is that I love to buy things that have great reviews online and whatnot. Great packaging is also a plus for me. I love trying high end cosmetics and lower end cosmetics because both have their pros and cons. I want to post up detailed reviews and have pictures that can satisfy your needs.

I'm going to start off with my most recent haul which was actually a while ago, about 2 weeks, I've been a bit busy lately and I haven't gone shopping.



What I Bought:
Maybelline the Falsies Waterproof (for my sister)
Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15
Necklace (freebie)
Sally Hansen Nail Polish (freebie+gave it to my sister)
Stila Convertible Color in Orchid
Solanoveil (?) Sunscreen SPF 50+++
Revon Colorburst in Soft Nude
Shiseido Water in Lip in Strawberry
Dr.Jart BB Cream Black Label

The Revlon Colorburst actually melted a little bit and got all over the tube so I had depotted it and put it into a clean jar. The jar used to hold my Maybelline Dream Mousse Cream Blush but I finished it a long time ago. This was after I opened it and used it so I couldn't return it. But I honestly love this lipstick, I love pairing it up with my Kat Von D Lightning Sheer Lip Gloss in Fierce Red, it makes such a pretty colour! But I think this lip gloss was discontinued because I can't find it at Sephora anymore =( This sucks because the tube is kinda leaking out gloss and I keep having to wipe it, what a waste!

Anyway, that's it for now, maybe I'll do a post on my staple items currently, or a review. Thanks for reading.
