What I got for Christmas 2014

Hey Loves ❤❤
This holiday season was really a great one. The only exception was everyone getting sick the weak of Christmas. But none the less we were able to still go visit everyone and got to do all of our Christmas activities! I love Christmas Eve and how my mom, sister, and grandma stay over night and we just hang out and watch Christmas movies and get everything ready for Ava in the morning!! I've been seeing everyone's posts on what they got for Christmas and wanted to do my own. On boxing day me and my friends always compare what everyone got. I love seeing what everyone else got and think it is very fun for everyone else to see :)

Me and my family definitely go above and beyond. Me and my sister decided next year needs a limit because we always try to get everyone the same amount but then we always feel someone has more so we keep getting more and more so it is crazy!

February & March Nail Polish Haul

Hey Beauties  ❤❤
I didn't post my February nail polish buys but still wanted to so I put the two past months together. After the February haul I wanted to try and only buy nail polishes I really want. Well I think I did well on that part but I was hoping this would mean I would be buying less nail polish.....that was not the case. I did buy much less then January but still purchased five nail polishes each month.

February...
I had been searching for the Mariah Carey collection all throughout January but Canada was late top the game as usual. I wasn't planning on getting the other two OPI's but they had a deal where if you buy three you get them for $8 a piece rather than $10 each. I came across Disco Dollz on sale for $1.99 and just could not pass it up!! It will be perfect for Christmas next year!! And the Zoya.......well Zoya is rare in Canada so as soon as I saw it I just could not say no!! I can see why people love Zoya so much!! It is an amazing polish!! The mini Nicole's are a gift set I received for V-day from my wonderful mother!!

March...
I really wanted Keep Calm, Paint on but was going to pass on it because of my little trying to cut down on nail polish idea. But then Sally Beauty Supply had their 2 for 10 sale on China Glaze and well need I say more?? At  the end of the month I went to the States and they have such great deals on nail polish in the states I always seem to find lots of bargains!! This time I actually didn't find that much and I think I bought the two sinful colors because I wanted to buy something (hate when that happens!!) When I got home I realized I have to VERY similar nail polishes already. I guess I have back up's now!! I was very pleased with Hot Chili Pepper though!! I always have avoided orange reds but I have been wanting to try some and Rimmel is so affordable it was a good brand to choose to see if I liked it!! 

                    Swatches will be up in upcoming posts :)

The Balm Haul

Hey Beauties ❤❤
Hope you are all enjoying your weekends!! Today I wanted to share a few things that I recently ordered off of Hautelook. Back in September I ordered The Balm's Nude Tude palette from Hautelook and have been obsessed with it ever since!! So when I saw that they were on there again I wanted to order some more products. Here is what I ordered.

3 Blush/ Eyeshadows

                                                                    Hot Mamma

                     A gorgeous pink with a peach sheen to it. So pretty for a night out!!

Down Boy

A dust rose mauve blush with a matte finish. 

Frat Boy

A very nice dolly pink. It looks like it has a hint of sheen in the pan but does not transfer onto the skin. 

                                            3 Eyeshadow Palettes that came with 9 shadows each.

Shady Lady Vol. 1

This has 9 huge eyeshadows all in very usable colors. I prefer this palette to Vol.3 because all the colors are so usable!! I love using the top row 2nd & 3rd shadow together for an everyday look!!

                                                                     Shady Lady Vol.3
All the shadows in the Shady Lady palettes are all shimmer. They have a little bit more sheen to them than the Nude Tude palette but are still very workable. 

Meet Matte Nude

These shadows are HUGE!! You can never have to much of a matte eyeshadow!!

I am very happy with everything I bought!! I love all the blushes and palettes. I think I could have done without Shady Lady Vol.3 but I will obviously still get a lot of use out of it!!

My experience with Hautelook......
I have very good and not so good things about my experience. The good point of my experience was their Live chat customer service. Hautelooks flash sales can sell out fast and you can only keep something in your basket for 15 minutes, so when you need a question answered you need it right away. Well I was able to talk to someone and get it figured out in just a few minutes!! That is a feature that I wish all online stores had!!

The bad....International charges. I understand that some companies do charge international fees since I am in Canada (why some do and some don`t I do not understand...) BUT this is something that should be applied with your receipt at the time of transaction. If you are going to charge me $20 extra do not send me another receipt two weeks later. Also both times I have ordered off Hautelook it has taken just over a month for me to receive it........ Really?? Anyways that is my little  rant for the day!!

                      What is your favorite Balm product??
