Stone makeup brush set (RSP:  $12.99)
Mermaid makeup brush set (RSP:  $14.99)
Unicorn bath sponge (RSP:  $3.99)
Bunny bath poof (RSP:  $3.99)

Artis dupe brush sets (RSP:  $19.99 each)
Reversible sequin notebook (RSP:  $12.99)

All $1 each @ Urban planet.

So glad I checked today!  The Artis dupe was a great deal.  I looked on YouTube and they seem to perform well.

The stone brushes were $4 on the website so I'm glad I passed.

They also had tons of unicorn and mermaid brushes that were 1-3 packs but they didn't seem worth it.




I was sort of tempted by this unicorn highlighter palette that I saw.  I see that company all of the time at Winners for $10.

Well, I'm glad I passed because reviews aren't great.  Even for $1!  The brand is "color story" by almar.  Turns out you van get them for $5 retail in the states!

Metallic bronze moto jacket (RSP:  $39.99)
Metallic red moto jacket (RSP:  $39.99)
Floral high/low cover up (RSP:  $29.99)

$5 each @ Urban Planet.

I was curious after the last one, so I wanted to check this one out.  They had way more on sale at least twice as much as other locations!

The jackets were totally worth it!  They fit nice and look great.  The red one reminds me a lot of this Iro one...except that one retails for over $1000!


That one's leather, but they have the same look.  The one I got isn't made out of PVC, otherwise I would have left it behind.   It's like some kind of fake suede.

Graphic  earbuds:  $1.35 (RSP:  $5.99)


Spiral notebook:  $2.25 (RSP:  $8.99)


Spiral notebook:  $2.25 (RSP:  $8.99)


Leopard notebook:  $2.25 (RSP:  $12.99)

Oversized Dolphin Hem Long Sleeve:  $2.25 (RSP:  $11.99)


Smiley Face Neon Light:  $9 (RSP:  $39.99)

All @ Urban Planet.

They started offering free in store pick up, so I couldn't resist.  The notebooks were a pretty good deal..the light was just for fun!

Floral Eyelash Cropped Long Sleeve (RSP:  $22.99)
Pink floral dress (RSP:  $24.99)
Black floral romper (RSP:  $29.99)

All @ Urban Planet.

I only saw one of each on the $5 rack so I thought they were just misplaced.  Turns out that wasn't the case, so I bought them all!

I remember seeing that top before and loving it.  It's almost two years old!  I found the official photos:


I like the white one too:


They had a ton of other colours too, but I think these were the best ones.


Glass fish drinking jars:  $2 each @ Buck or two.

They had a dark pink lid too, but I thought they were enough.  They only hold a cup but I thought they were cute.

Glass light up unicorn:  $4.99 @ Talize (18 days!)

I was surprised at the date, since I definitely didn't see it there before.  Even this time, I saw it hidden away in a weird place.

I'm not sure how old it is since they'd usually use something like plastic for this if it's a cheap toy.

I saw one in box on eBay:


That's only $8.63 US!  But I was OK with what I paid too.  It changes colour and even plays music!

Ghostbusters - Stay puft figures:  $4 each
Mega bloks TMNT figure:  $2

All @ Dollarama.

I was waiting for those stay puft figures for almost a week!  I saw people were finding them in Ontario but I couldn't find them here.

So glad they finally showed up!

Rose compact mirror
Mermaid nail clipper set

$1.25 each @ Dollar tree

I've seen that mirror for a while, but wasn't tempted until now.

This was the first time I've seen those clippers though!  I've seen them all over Instagram and thought they were so cute.

Notebooks:  $1.25 each @ Dollar tree

The first one actually has a "class schedule" grid on it.  I would have preferred if it didn't!

Ipsy freebies!  I got an invite to try one out for free.  It was cute, but not worth $20 a month...I might have paid $10 like the Americans do

It included the following:

Elizabeth Mott teal eye-shadow - This had the cheapest packaging I've ever seen!  Very thin blister pack material. (RSP:  $10)

Lord & berry lipstick crayon in intimate (RSP:  $18)

Kensie loving life perfume 10 ml
 (RSP:  $18)

Pretty woman nail polish in electric love (RSP:  $8.99)

SLMISSGLAM N15 Eyeshadow Brush (RSP:  $14).  They don't sell singles, but it works out around there.

So it works out to almost $70 US!  Seems like a great value, except I'd never pay full retail for any of them.

Unicorn feather pens:  $1.25 each @ Dollar tree.

These look like they should light up, but they don't.  They would have been so much better!

Tigi eye-shadow:  $4 (RSP:  $32)
Kubros Futurama Bender:  $4 (RSP:  $12.99 - $16.99)

Both @ Dollarama (D)

I saw Bender for the first time last week.  They had 4 that time..this time there was only one, so I had to get it!



Pixel chix house:  $3.99 (RSP:  $50+)(26 days)
Hello kitty phone:  $9.99 (6 days)

Both @ Talize.

I'm so happy about that phone!  I've wanted it ever since my hello kitty craze started a few months ago.

I saw someone selling a used one for $35, but I didn't want to pay that much.  This is what I wanted to pay!

I was worried since there was no way to test it, but thankfully it all works.  There's a price tag at the bottom that say $59.95!

I saw an in box one for $80.  It was the same as that one, except it had some rhinestones:


I've seen variations without caller ID, but those aren't very useful.  This one's pretty charming though:


I'm considering bringing mine out too!

Shell lip gloss
Glass cactus tealight holder

$1.25 each @ Dollar tree.

I bought more of those tealight holders in yellow, orange, and dark blue.  Now I'm glad I didn't buy more of those walmart ones.

Spiral notebooks:  $3.50 each @ Urban planet (RSP:  $6.99 each)

These are actually really nice quality!  Similar to the ones they would sell at Winners for around $10.

Dolphin pen
Adventure time projection pen x 2
Gold ceramic feather tray

$1.25 each @ Dollar tree.

I held out on the tray for a while, but decided to get one today.  Super glad I found the adventure time pens!

Pose doll:  $8 @ Value village.

I couldn't resist!  She's so pretty and glam.  She looks mostly new but still has some stains.  Her dress is still so bright!

I would have been happier paying less, but at least I had a $2 off coupon.

Free comic book day haul!  The middle one's mine.  This is the last one my local shop is doing so it's bittersweet.

Hello kitty lot - $6 off Craigslist.

The seller said the bottle was brand new and was the only thing for sale..and that everything else was a free bonus.  She kept stressing that.

I could see why after getting it!  Almost everything was damaged or missing something in some way.

I'm also annoyed that the bottle was clearly used...there was still water inside!

But overall it felt like a good deal so I didn't complain.  I did give away about half the items in the picture.  Most of the bags, the DVD, the hair stuff, and the whistle.

The xylophone was really neat and cute so it was almost worth it for that alone.
