Hauls Archives - Page 5 of 5 - I'm Not a Beauty Guru

*Purchased

Hi there!

I hope you are having a great day. I come to you with a haul. At the start of the year I said that I would be cutting down on hauls, and I have to some degree. A couple of weeks ago though, my friend asked me if I would be interested in going to this L’Oreal sale. It’s a ticketed event but his mom got them from work. SO. HAPPY. No buy? No more.

My friend and I trekked out not really knowing what to expect. I knew they had some pretty good deals on Essie, but other than that I wasn’t too sure. When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised. Here’s what I picked up!

1. Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes

Price: $5.75 CAD

I didn’t actually really want to buy these. These were actually one of the more expensive things that I bought. I am running out of makeup wipes, so instead of being economical and going out to get cheaper wipes, I bought these. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this in the store. Meh, I’m usually game for trying any type of makeup wipes. We shall see!

2. Ombrelle SPF 45 Ultra Light Cream (Sunscreen)

Price: $5 CAD

Just realized I photographed the French side. D’oh. But you get the point. I actually need a new face sunscreen and I haven’t used the Ombrelle brand in forever. I used this today actually and it’s pretty nice! The only thing is that it expires next year, so I’ll have to spend a lot of time in the sun this year!!

3. Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew in Light

Price: $12 CAD

As usual, I’m always late on the bandwagon. This was hot a couple of years ago (maybe more than a couple of years ago). This was more of an impulse buy, but I thought, meh, wanted to try it. Me buy. 🙂 I’ve used it a couple of times and like it! The only warning I have is that it is VERY VERY scented. I don’t actually mind the scent, but if you’re not a fan of fragrance in makeup I wouldn’t recommend this.

4. Maybelline Baby Lips in 70 Coral Crush and 95 Strike a Rose

Price: $2 CAD each

I was so happy to find these! I’m already a fan of the Baby Lips line (other than Dr. Rescue), so I thought I would branch out from my clear one. I’ve used the Coral one and really like it! Can’t wait to see how pigmented the bright pink one is. 😀

5. Essie Nail Polish in Vices Versa and Strut Your Stuff

Price: $4.75 CAD each (I think)

I thought I would go bananas for the Essie, but I reigned myself in. 😉 Both of these are from the Neon 2014 collection. Can you tell I’m ready for spring and summer?!

6. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 90 Nude Compliment, 80 Pure Nude, 85 Beige-ing Beauty

Price: $2.75 CAD each

These took a lot of digging in the big bins, but I managed to grab 3 that I really love. Can you tell I like neutrals? The only Colour Tattoo I have right now is Bad to the Bronze, so it’s nice to add a few lighter shades to the mix.

7. L’Oreal Colour Extraordinary Lip Colour in 104 Dancing Rose

Price: $3

When I saw these there I probably (embarrassingly) squealed a bit. I got one of these at TIFF this year in the L’Oreal hut and I’ve been waiting to purchase more. It’s a lip gloss that wears so nicely. It also leaves a nice stain on your lips. I’ve been holding off just because of the price in the drugstores, but this one was such a steal! So glad I waited!

And there we have it! After doing this haul, I feel like I could have gone a bit crazier. I’m gad to be saving my money though. :p This sale was totally worth it and I’m so happy that I went. 😀

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day!

Well hello there. Hope you are having a great day! I thought I would do a quick post on some things I picked up at this year’s Sephora Black Friday sale. I bought all of these in-store as I just find it easier than staying up late and potentially not getting what I want. This is my third Black Friday pilgrimage and I’ve always gotten everything on my list. 🙂

Not too much as I didn’t want to get out of hand. I also bought 2 of the Tarte packs to give away as gifts. Since those are already being wrapped up, I decided not to include them.

1. Origins Task Maskers

Price: $12 CAD

Funny story about this one. I was the 10th person in line before the Sephora in my area opened. Once everyone was let in, people just started grabbing things. Once things had sort of started to settle down, I noticed the last one of these sets was being grabbed. How disappointing. So I asked an associate who said she didn’t think there were any left. :/ Didn’t really believe her, but what can you do. I paid for my purchase and left. I noticed that the cashier hadn’t taken off my 10% off VIB welcome discount which I was saving for this purchase. As I was going back in, I noticed an associate refilling these, so I was able to get one. 🙂 Worked out that I was able to use my 10% off and get all the things that I wanted. 🙂

I have never tried anything from Origins before so I thought that this would be a good starter kit! Can’t wait to try it out!

2. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Sampler

Price: $12 CAD

I didn’t get this last year just cause I thought it was unbelievably expensive for these itty bitty hair things. I don’t usually buy special shampoos, so I was hesitant. One of my friends bought this last year and ABSOLUTELY LOVED it. Like, loved it so much that she bought the full size. And that is a pretty penny to spend on shampoo! Wanted to see what all the hype was for and try it for myself!

3. Formula X The Two in Juju & Voodo

I was glad to have gotten these ones. I don’t have any Formula X polish and nothing in these colours either. I thought they would be a perfect addition to my collection and that blue will look so nice during this snowy and cold weather!

So there is my haul. I got exactly what I wanted and didn’t overspend at all. 🙂 I can’t wait to try everything out!

Hope you have a wonderful day!
