FOTD + OOTD: Tell me what you want so we can do just what you like

I recently started working as a sales person at a clothing boutique at my local mall (I won't discolse the name here, I don't want any problem, but if you really want yo know, you can tweet me) and I love it so far, it's very different from my previous jobs but I'm always up for new aventures and challenges!

The employees have a dress code to follow and I'm actually enjoying having to get dressed up for work - and we are also required to wear lipstick or lipgloss, which is cool because I don't have lots of occasions to wear lipsticks and I have so many! So here are my FOTD and OOTD for my second day at work.

Thank you so much for this fantastic prize Joyce, I still can't believe my luck!


*I know that Rimmel and Maybelline test on animals but I was planning to give these items to my mother as she loves brown eyeshadows, just like me. 


Dr Hess products: Dr Hess Udder Ointment is said to be by far the best healing skin care ointment on the market today so I was very glad to be kindly sent these products to help with my eczema. Dr Hess products are recommended if you are dealing with problem skin, eczema, chafing, severe dryness, diabetic skin damage, cracked heels etc.

  • Udder Ointment
  • Udder Stick Mint Lip Balm with SPF 15
  • Udder Stick Original Lip Balm with SPF 15
  • Udder Stick Pomegranate Lip Balm with SPF 15

Bronze Ambition Self Tan products: I kept hearing great things about these fake tan products on UK beauty blogs but I never saw them around here and I was really surprised to be given the opportunity to test drive some of them! I wouldn't say I'm complexed of my pale skin tone but I don't really like it and I like to use a little fake tan to give me a healthy glow, especially in the winter wher I can easily look dead. Here's what I was sent:

  • Sun-Kissed Mist Instant Spray Tan
  • Bronze Me Mousse Instant + Self Tan Foam
  • Glow 'N 'Go Instant Tan Shimmer
  • Fake Don't Bake Natural Look Tanning Cream


HANA Titanium 1.5" Flat Iron from Misikko.com: I have worked with Misikko in the past and I'm delighted to have the chance to team up with them again for another product review! Misikko seriously has the best customer service and they always spoil you when they send you a package. Alon with the flat iron, Brian very kindly included other products in my package such as heat proof pad and pouch, flowers shaped soaps, LA Color Eyeshadow, ELF Hypershine Lipgloss, hairbrush, etc.

Thank you + Shopping: Wal-Mart + Awards

I want to thank you guys for your support regarding my last post. Some might say it's just a rat, but want it or not, you quickly get attached to those little fur balls. Animals, big or small, are super important to me. People around me know I have a big temper and I appear untouchable, but I totally melt when it comes to animals. Thank you again.


♥

Today I went to get my car rustproofed (is it a verb?), and then I went to Wal-Mart because I absolutely wanted to get my hands on The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara, and I had a $1 off coupon on any Maybelline mascara.


So I got The Falsies in Blackest Black, and I saw Rimmel Extra Super Lash on sale for $4.48, so I decided to give it a try. Total damage: $11.69; not bad =D

Friday, I went to school, and at night I met with some friend to have dinner and we ended up going to some place to do karaoke (no, I didn't sing xD). Here are my simple FOTD and OOTD, ans also a NOTW I did on Thursday.

Sunday is the day my mother and my little brother spend driving around to make my brother practices for his driving exam, so to make the most out of this, they stop at shops where my mother needs something. I like to go with them sometimes, as my mother and I like to browse through Dollarama, drugstores like Jean Coutu, Shoppers Drug Mart, Uniprix, Brunet and sometimes, Wal-Mart and Giant Tiger. Today I finally found some cute flats (I've been wanting new ones since the end of last summer!) at Wal-Mart and I also needed anti-slip pads for one of my pairs of high heels.

I love the design! And they were only $15.

The anti-slip pads are made of gel. They costed $5.98. I needed them for those shoes:

I love them, but the heels is so high, my feet always slip to the front, and it makes my toes hurt! I hope those pads will solve the problem.

NOTW + OOTD

I know, I know, it seems like I just did a post on my latest NOTW, but I got bored of the color (not to mention it was all chipped after a few days because I got lazy and didn't apply a top coat every day).

So, here's my NOTW:

I used Rimmel Lasting Finish Lycra Wear in Black Satin and Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Rockstar Pink. How I love this glittery polish, it instantly transform and freshen any dull polish!

It's so pretty! I even got compliments from one of my classmates (=

I thought I'd share my OOTD as my brother always compliments me when I wear this top (he is so sweet!) :


top: Giant Tiger
white cami: Jean Bleu
skinny jeans: Sirens
heels: Wal-Mart

I like this top, it's so versatile! I can easily cinch it with a belt or throw a vest over it. And I love the color! I originally wanted to have it in grey, but they didn't have any left, so I opt for pink, and I absolutely don't regret it ^^
