Olay Fresh Effects {Bead Me Up!} -Review

Like most people, in the winter I tend to get very dry skin. Which is very annoying when it comes time to pick out a face wash that will not dry out my face more than it already is. I purchased this product probably in October sometime (I honestly cannot remember) since my previous face wash was not doing the job or anything in fact. I purchased it when they did a lot of advertising for this product. I saw the advertisements everywhere; magazines, YouTube, stores, and basically everywhere online. So I went to my grocery store and got it for $9. As soon as I used it once I hated it! It made my skin flaky, tight, and sore to be completely honest. I would not recommend this product to anyone! It smalls very chemical-ly and seems it as well. Anyways bottom line... I hated it and it is a very poor product!

Do not buy!

I find the packaging ugly and it's not appealing at all!!

(Very kid "ish")

                            

I don't like the beads either

They didn't do anything for me.

Boxing Day - H and M, Forever21, and Aerie

This year at during boxing day I went to Newmarket's Upper Canada Mall; which is about 45 minutes away from me. I only had brought a hundred bucks with me to spend so I didn't end up getting much. I looked around a fair bit and there weren't that many good sales on! The stores I did go to though had excellent deals! As you can tell from the title I went to those stores and picked up a fair bit for only $100. 

H and M

SALE: The sale in H and M was buy one clearance item and get the second one free! Which I thought was amazing! All of these items I ended up getting below were $5 each, which is a total steal! 

 This is going to make the cutest summer dress! Can't wait! 

Paisley print <3

 Love the orange dress (I can actually wear it frontwards and backwards) the back makes it a higher neck and the front is the zipper! I might try to shrink this one though just because it's a bit too big on me!

 This simple black dress I got for layering and it looks way better on!

This is going to make the cutest spring skirt with a white crop top and gold jewelry!

Aerie

SALE: Everything in the store was 50% off!

Ended up getting these for $20! Love the style and it's such a staple piece! 

I've never owned a bralette before but I totally love it! Looks way better on than on the hanger! Got it in a size small for $10!

 Love the detailing in on the shoulder! Love lace so much.

Forever21

I only spent $30 and I love the stuff I got

SALE: all winter items with a pink highlighter stroke through the tag was 50% off!

Got this cute pin-stripe sweater for $13

This will definitely be a staple piece of mine! It's textured which make it look beautiful on it's own or paired with jewelry! It's a heavier material so it hangs really nice on the body! This was not on sale and I got it for $16

Overall I think I did pretty good and I didn't want to spend that much money since I have a lot of clothes already! (You can never have too many clothes though. Ha!)

Essence - 113 Do you speak Love? Review

As the holidays have already come and gone, I still love to wear Christmas colours. Although I think I can wear burgundy whenever I please! Ha! Anywho... I was shopping at my local Shoppers Drugmart for a nail polish so that I could paint my nails with my cousin who was hanging out with me for the night. We were looking around at all the nail polishes and I found this little-wee stand in the back full of nail polishes. I was looking at all the colours (which there weren't many of) and found this beautiful deep red colour. I then saw the price and was astonished on how cheep it was! Only $1.99? I was skeptical of the quality because it was so cheep but than opened the lid and stroked the colour onto my nail!  I was in love! The colour was beautiful! I was looking around the stand a little more and found a little container containing tiny little silver beads, I also had to get them because they were only $2.50! I have tried so many brands including Essie, Sally Hanson, Revlon, Rimmel, and many others. I don't think that Essie is that something to be cracked up about. I really dislike the brush and I find it chips very easy. Not worth the $9-11 depending on where you buy it. I really do love the colours they come out with. Since I have painted my nails I have added another coat over top which gave the colour a deeper red look which I love better so I recommend two coats if you have the time and are patient. If you're not patient though I always put my nails in freezing cold water right after I paint them and this hardens them within 3-4 minutes. Yes it is painfully cold and No it does not run, or come off in the water. I definitely will be buying more colours and products from Essence!

 This is what my nails ended up looking like with 1 coat of Do you speak Love? and a top coat over top.

This packaging is true to colour!

 This is the nail colour and packaging. (The flash was on making the colour look more cherry red)

These are the tiny beads!
