Hello!
Today's post is all about pink! It's the Labour Day weekend here in Canada, and most stores are closed today. It's one of the few days a year you see the Walmart parking lot completely empty. It's one of my few days off, so of course I had to seek out one of the few stores still open and see what I could find. Shopping does not stop for holidays! I went to Lawton's, and checked out the clearance beauty stuff. I always find something good there!
These false lashes were $6.99, and I got them for $1.99.
They have pretty rainbow sequins!
I couldn't just buy 1 pair!
They're still a little showy, but I think I could wear them more often than the other pair!
I need some serious hair therapy after bleaching and dying it so much. This will hopefully make it soft and shiny!
Another hair mask- this one only stays in for a minute, but it's like a hot oil treatment. Both were just .99 cents!
This was what I came to Lawton's for. I've been searching for NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. I watch vintageortacky's makeup tutorials and she is always using it! NYX is only sold in Lawton's stores in Nova Scotia, and this is the first time Milk was not sold out! The last Lawton's I went to only had Cottage Cheese, which I wasn't sure was the right shade. But I finally have it!
The store had new displays up for their fall makeup and nail collections. I was drawn to the Wet n' Wild display of nail polishes, their new On the Prowl collection. When I saw Correction Tape, I had a brilliant idea. Cupcakes and sprinkles!
I was inspired by Deborah Lippman's Candy Shop, which is bubble gum pink with multicoloured glitter. I happened to have just the right shade already for the base.
This is Sally Hansen's Truth. I couldn't tell you how old this polish is. I just know it's past its prime. Very streaky and gloppy. I'll be on the lookout for a new bottle to replace it, likely by another brand. Any suggestions on a good bubble gum pink?
This is Correction Tape. Apparently it's very close to Party of Five Glitters, also by Wet n' Wild. Pink, turquoise, gold and black glitter. I love it! Do you think it's a close enough match to Candy Shop?
I also went out Saturday to pick up a few things. Hard Candy is my new favorite makeup brand!

I had been on the lookout for a felt tip eyeliner. I hadn't found anything, until I looked at Hard Candy. I bought Nautical first, since Little Black Dress was sold out. I went to another store to look for it- sold out there, too. They must have had a restock this week, because I was able to get one! I was a little unsure if Little Black Dress would be a jet black, since Nautical was not as vibrant as I expected. But I was pleasantly surprised! Nice jet black. Now to perfect my left eye (I can get a straight line and perfect wing on my right eye, but I always mess up my left).
This was so hard to photograph! The shiny packaging made it impossible to get a good shot. It is Glow all the way in doll face. It's a nice subtle highlighter that I've used on my cheekbones and browbones. It's a very pale pink, and it blends very well.
This is Plumping Serum volumizing lip gloss- no shade name. It's very pale pink, and has a bit of a menthol or something to make your lips tingle. I'll use it over lipstick, on its own it's too pale.
And finally, a blush that was a bit messy when I bought it. The package must have got bumped, and a bit of the powder broke off and went everywhere. Still a great blush, though. It's called living doll, and it's light enough for my paleness.
This entire haul over two days was...wait for it... less than $40! That's a SHUT THE FRONT DOOR kinda deal! Well, that's all for now, thanks for stopping by!
