Sunday wants

Heading to the city(Toronto) this week for Canadian Thanksgiving (Oct 8). Yes, it is going to be a challenge not to go crazy at the shopping malls. I have been pretty good in controlling my shopping impulses in September. 

Here is my list of "possibilities" of attack at the mall:

Sephora favorites In the Glow set  $54.00 (buy here)

I have realized that I never finish any blush/bronzer/highlighter. To me, these smaller-sized products are the greatest for me as I can still try out and don't have to buy them at full-sized. I have always wanted to try the Nars laguna so this is the perfect set for me. Currently not in stock online so I will have to try my luck in the retail stores.


Tarte 5-piece LipSurgence Collector's Set  $44 (buy here)

I still love my Revlon kissable lip stains. Have been using them every day since I got my hands on my first ones. They are very similar to these Tarte lip stains and I am more of a neutral lip color gal and these colors are so pretty.


Anastasia Brow Fix $27 (buy here)

I have tried other brands of highlighter pencil for brows but they didn't work too well for me. Haven't tried any of the Anatasia products yet. Would love to give it a try.

I have tried out almost all the bath products I got from my Lush orders and have a pretty good idea of what to repurchase. So will pick up some bubble bars and fresh face masks for sure.

As for J. Crew, currently (ends tonite) there is a promo of 25% off when you spend $150 and free shipping as well. Normally, I would have taken the bait long time ago. But since I know I will be in the city and I have been waiting for a promo on full-priced items for so long, decide not to order online. Want to try on a few outerwear items and maybe they have some good sales in store.


J. Crew Snowcap quilted jacket puffer (buy here)

Love the color on the website but would really want to see it in person. I know this is not a very warm jacket and I can probably only wear this in Oct in Canada. Not warm enough for the cold weather here in Ontario. 


Stovepipe trouser in wool check (buy here)


Houndstooth sweater

When the promo started, this is the only item I really want to get. But of course, it is sold out. Will have to check if it's available in store.

  4. I absolutely love the Sephora favorites boxes! They're the perfect sized products and you get to try so many great brands in one purchase. This In The Glow box looks amazing :)

    1. I like to switch around my makeup items quite a bit. These smaller sized products are perfect for me.

  5. tarte lipsurgence is different from revlon just bitten kissable, which will justify your purchase even more (wink)
    i really like them for more moisturizing formula and sophisticated colors. revlon ones are longer lasting, though. ;)

    1. The more I use the Revlon ones, as much as I love them, I find them a bit drying. Will have to definitely check out the Tarte ones. Yes, we need alternatives (wink wink)

  6. I love houndstooth pattern for anything! That sweater is really cool...but it's funny, the jacket you mentioned, as soon as I saw the picture I didn't think it would be good for much, as a jacket. I live in the northern US, it gets pretty darn cold here too!

    1. I'm in eastern Ontario and our winters are nasty and cold. I got the jacket and I think I will wear it lots this month and November. Definitely not warm enough for snow season. I love houndstooth. So classic!

  7. The J Crew jacket will certainly look nice for the winter. Toronto sounds like a fun place to go. I'd love to see it some day.

    1. I love my new jacket. I love the color even though I was thinking of getting the red. Think I will wear it much more with the neutral olive color. Yes, Toronto is a great place. You should definitely come for a visit :)

    1. Yes, definitely will be checking out the Halloween and Christmas items at Lush. Think I will probably head there today.

  9. Oh I have 4 of the items in the glow products and love them. I agree i usually don't finish them either so smaller size is better because we can try them all. N i just bought that tarte lip set. It is very nice. U will like them. Anastasia is the bomb when it comes to brow. You won't be dissapointed. Anyway, found u on blog hop. Follow each other? Thx much! :)

    1. I love my Sephora favorite in the glow set. Great way to try out so many different brands without paying for all of them full-priced. The Anastasia is on my wish list still. Think Sephora is going to have their friends and family promo next month. I'm sure I will build up a big list by then.

      Thanks for visiting, following you back :)
