Collective Haul 2013

May 12, 2013

I’ve bought a few things in the past few months in Vegas and in Vancouver and put together a collective haul!

Make Up

In my recent trip to Las Vegas, I went to Sephora to find some goodies. Surprsingly I had pretty good self restraint and only picked up two things!
1) Jasmine Nail Polish Collection: I thought I didn’t have similar colors but when I got home I realized I had dupes for almost all of them! Check here for swatches.
2) Benefit’s Most Glamorous Neturals: I wanted a smaller neutral palette than my UD naked palette. But once I came back to Vancouver I realized I really didn’t need it so I returned it.

Clothes

In Las Vegas, I also bought two pairs of shoes from Nine West Outlet. I was planning on doing a lot of shopping but unfortunately there wasn’t too much to buy.
Once I came back, I had to go shopping for some work clothes. I’m starting my internship in two weeks! Here’s my new business casual pieces! Let me know of any good outfits you wear in the office! The first three pictures are from Dynamite and the last one is from Forever 21
*Also grabbed a F21 makeup wipe along the way*

Bath and Body Works

I’m a huge fan of bath and body works candles so I’ve been waiting for a while for their semi annual sale. However, I wasn’t too pleased with the current selection and spent significantly less than budgeted. So I guess that’s a good thing!

This is their sale poster.

Here’s what I picked up!

Bali Mango Triple Moisture Cream $4
-This was kind of one of those random things I grabbed because I was curious about it.

Small Candle in Peach Bellini $6.25 
-I was planning on grabbing many more candles but at $6.25 it’s still pretty pricey

Scent portables Buy 3 get 1 Free $12
-I wanted to get some good smells in my car so I bought these!
-The margarita cup I put in a fruity cocktail scent, and the blue bow one has a pineapple vanilla smell

However, I read on someone’s blog that she wasn’t a fan of bath and body works lotion and I never realized how heavily perfumed and moisturizing it is. I probably won’t continue buying the body lotions. But their candles are to die for!

Gifts

Lastly, Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! I got my mom some yummy drink mixers and a gift card to Home Sense. I’ve been buying her perfume, makeup, flowers, jewelry so I thought I’d change it up a bit! What are you guys doing for Mother’s Day?

So much fun comparing and contrasting mascaras!! T So much fun comparing and contrasting mascaras!! The lancome hypnose mascara has won me over 😍
.
Which one do you like?
Hellllooo fall! 🍂🍁 In just a few weeks, the Hellllooo fall! 🍂🍁

In just a few weeks, the leaves are going to be golden red at Trout Lake!! 🤩😍. What are your favorite fall foliage spots in Vancouver?
Editing this post made MY MOUTH WATER!! 🤤🤤 Editing this post made MY MOUTH WATER!! 🤤🤤

Here are the best things I ate in Japan - restaraunt edition! (do you want to see one for snacks? or do you want to see a worst things I ate in Japan?)
Prices of the specific dish listed below.

1. Kanoko, try their special green tea infused soba or normal soba. I loved the dashi and tempura. Perfect lunch option for after visiting the tori gates. 1,300 Yen 🍜

2. Okonomiyaki Sakaba, you can pick the inside filling and a lot of the options were meat based. The sauce on top is delicious and you may be surprised the inside is mostly cabbage and not flour. 1,000 Yen🍥

3. Udon Bo Osaka, I tried out a cold dipping udon and it was excellent! They have a special yuzu sauce and the tempura is amazing too. 1,250 Yen 🍤

4. Roast Beef Ohno, the most affordable way to eat wagyu! Loved the sauces and nice side veggie dishes too. 1,750 Yen 🥓

5. Fuunji, flavorful dipping ramen with a vending machine to order! 1,400 (with egg + bamboo add on)🍱

6. Maguro Koya, holy crap I'm addicted to Ootoro now. So glad we splurged and got the double portion. We also tried the chutoro sashimi to compare cuts. 3,200 Yen 🍣

Hope this provides some delicious inspo for the best food in Japan!
Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka
