Hey Everyone :)

Last night and today I went shopping. I wanted to share with you what I bought.

The picture shown is the steve madden suede boots I bought. They are so comfy, and they look amazing on! Definitely a worth while purchase. Very versatile.

The focus of this shopping was to get a dress and shoes for my semi formal this thursay. I found a dress in bebe that I fell in love with right when I saw it on the hanger! It's different from the dresses I usually find. It's extremely flattering. I would wear it everyday if I could. I actually got a really good deal on it too. It was originally $171, not including tax. It came out to be $114, not including tax! :)

here's the link to it:

(Yeah, it's REALLY long)

The next day, which is today, I bought shoes to go with my semi dress. I just got flats, because one I'm tall and i don't feel very comfortable in heels (even though they're gorgeous) , and two I wanted to buy shoes that I could wear again, and dress them down. The flats are pointed, have a bow, and are kind of fuschia. Sadly,

I can't show you a picture of the flats or dress, but maybe I'll do a what not to wear of my semi outfit to show you. :)


I also wanted to share a story with you of something that happened today. It was soo stressful! So, I went to the mall with my dad, and the first thing we did was get my shoes. After that we looked at cameras and then went to Booster Juice. Once we left the mall, I realized I didn't have the shoes with me! My heart started beating so fast! I ran through the mall and went to black's the camera store first. They weren't there. So I went to Booster Juice, and without even finishing asking them if they had the shoes, the girl got them and gave them to me. They were looking for me in the food court apparently. I was so relieved! I was sweating insanely from it (not that you really want to hear that)

Have any of you ever experienced something like that?

Anyway, bye and thanks for reading ! :D

Hello!

    I thought I'd update you guys on the shopping trip I went on, on Friday  (mentioned in my last post). It didn't go as I had hoped. 1. Me and my friends were rushed for time. We had approximately 2 hours and I had specified stores I wanted to go to (sephora, aritzia, lululemon, steve madden, guess) 2. I either couldn't find the items I planned on getting, or it was too expensive (I was looking at the American prices on the websites ):)

    Besides those negatives I still walked out with some stuff. I did get the Korres powder, except not the one I intended on getting. I got the wild rose rather than the multivitamin (didn't have my shade!) I also bought two pairs of leggings (TNA - black, Talula - gray) The last thing I got was a TNA t-shirt, which I LOVE. Overall, it was a decent shopping trip. It definitely would have been better if we weren't pressed for time.

Today was awesome. My cousins came down for the weekend, and we decided to go to Shoppers Drugmart, and Tim Hortons. I purchased the following things:
  1. Essie nail polish (pictured at the top) in Spaghetti Strap.
  2. Almay pure blends eyeshadow in petal (got an amazing deal - two eyeshadows for one)
  3. Annabelle Liquid Eyeliner in Titanium.
I also wanted to show a picture of the camera I hope to get for Christmas. It's either this camera or a canon. :)

When do you guys get off for Christmas break? I get off on the 18th.

What do you plan on doing to celebrate?

Well that was my rambling for the day! Thanks for reading!

Bye! :)

p.s. I am going to be doing reviews for the makeup products I bought very soon!

Hey guys!

    It's been so long since I've been on Kaboodle. School is to blame. I've had so many assignments and test lately it's ridiculous!

    I thought I'd update you on that (even though I'm in the midst of doing an english essay :p) and let you know that I am still committed to Kaboodle :p I am actually getting so sick of school that I am always looking forward to weekends!

    Anyway, I am hopefully heading to the mall this weekend, which I am so excited for! The items pictured on the left are some of the items one my list.

#1:
Talula floral leggings - Aritzia

#2: BMARTINI Red Leather Crossbody Bag - Steve Madden

#3: Korres Multivitamin Compact Powder: An oil free setting powder enriched with potent antioxidants Vitamins C and E to create an oil-absorbing, matte finish - Sephora

I am also hoping to get a wilfred shirt dress (depending on $), tights, a josie maran concealer, and some makeup brushes.

I am also SO EXCITED for Christmas! And the two week break that comes with it is always a plus :)

The major item I'm asking for is a Sony Digital SLR camera :D

What are you all asking for?

Hey!

I just wanted to say thank you if you voted on my poll "Which cross-body bag should I purchase?" It really helped me to decide which one to get, since I really liked all of them. I purchased the bag with the most votes which is the first bag, Big Buddha Berkeley Bag in Mushroom. I can't wait to get it!

I just thought I'd let you know, I am going to start doing WIW's as soon as possible!

Thanks again! :D

Hello!

    First of all, I am absolutely in love with OPI nail polishes! I really like the large brush that makes it glide on effortlessly and beautifully, as well as the great range of colours!

    When I discovered the new matte OPI nail lacquers I wanted to try it right away. I had the Matte Russian Navy polish in mind, but happened to come across Gargantuan Green Grape << I had no idea this colour was part of the matte colIection!  I ended up going with this colour :)

    I highly recommend this nail polish! It dries really quickly, which is a plus, and it looks great.

    Other available colours, as shown in the bottom picture, are as follows: Alpine Snow, Russian Navy, La Paz-itively Hot, You Don't Know Jacques, and Lincoln Park After Dark.

Thanks for reading!
Bye for now! :D


p.s. Have you tried one of the matte polishes? Do you have any OPI polish colours you love? If so, feel free to share! Thanks!

p.p.s. I was going to include a picture of my painted nails, but it wouldn't work! Sorry guys!

Organix Shampoo Coconut...
Coconut Hand and Body...
Hi Everyone!

I am a big fan of eco-friendly/organic products, and have been trying to broaden my collection, as well as replace my regular products with green ones. So far, it's been working out great.

Here are two organic coconut products. The one on the left, I own, and the other one I want to purchase.


Product #1: Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo:

Description: Coconut Milk Shampoo is an exclusive blend of organic coconut milk to nourish your hair, while ultra whipped egg white proteins add strength and elasticity, along with weightless coconut oils to add hydration and balance. The luxuriously creamy, foaming, hydrating formula leaves your hair feeling clean, glowing, softly scented and super soft.

    I absolutely love this shampoo! It smells amazing, just like coconut cream pie! It also makes my hair super soft, shiny and manageable. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone!

Product #2: Desert Essence Organics Coconut Hand and Body Lotion

    I came across this body lotion while in Real Canadian Superstore with my friend. It smells great! I am definitely going to buy this.

Thank you for reading! :-D

p.s. Your opinions are greatly appreciated

p.p.s Feel free to share your favourite scent for products such as lotions, shampoos, etc. As well as any eco-friendly products you have tried and loved.
