Joe Fresh goodie bag.  The total worth is around $24, so it wasn't as good as last year.  The most valuable item was the Sigma travel size brush, which costs about $9.  Total contents:

Fashion magazine (RSP:  $4.99)
Joe Fresh eyeshadow in Ice (RSP:  $4)
Sigma eyeshadow brush E05 (RSP:  ~$9)
Tresemme damage recovery oil (RSP:  ~$6)

I spent $4 on a shirt, so it was an alright bonus.  I hope next year's is better!

Loulou magazine 9 month subscription (RSP:  $9.95 - $23.94)

Pur Minerals Eye Defining Pencil - Black (RSP:  $19.50)

Pur Minerals Intensity Gel Eye Liner - Black (RSP:  $19.50)

The last of the stuff I got, thanks to my family members.  This was the best promotion ever!

Studded wallet:  $2 @ Claire's (RSP:  $13.75)

The rest were freebies.  The one from L'Occitane en Provence was a great one, since it scanned in at $12!  It was a facebook offer...they've had it for a week, but I didn't want to go just for that.  I'm so glad they still had some left.

You could choose between a 7.5 ml Jasmine and Bergamot eau de toilette, or a 35 ml almond shower oil.  Well, I'm a sucker for perfume so it was an easy choice.

I never shop at Claire's anymore, since it seems like their target age range goes down every year!  The person shopping next to me this time was a 7 year old...seriously. 

This wallet was probably the only thing on sale that didn't look completely childish.  It was totally worth the two bucks!

Romanesque belt:  $2 @ Dollarama

J.Lo - My glow 100 ml eau de toilette:  $20 @ Shoppers (RSP:  $78)

Anna Sui - Dolly girl 50 ml eau de toilette:  $10 (meet up)

Michel Germaine - Tattoo 100 ml eau de parfum:  $12.99 (RSP:  $70)

Had a great day!  I met someone to buy the Dolly girl perfume, and decided to do some shopping while I was out.  

The belt was the first thing I bought.  I love it!  It reminds me of something a warrior would wear...the buckle looks like a shield.  It's really sturdy and doesn't seem cheap at all, I was so surprised to find it there!  Now I'll have to check out the other ones.

The J.Lo perfume was the second thing I picked up.  I was totally shocked!  I just found out about this perfume about a week ago, and was thinking about buying a 30 ml bottle online for $20.

I'm glad I didn't.  I really didn't think I would find this locally, this perfume came out 4 years ago and I've never seen it sold here.  

It's like it was waiting there for me...there was just one bottle on the shelf!  It's really strange to see a 100 ml perfume on clearance, most of the time they're only 30 ml.  

I really only bought it because I love that bottle..but thankfully, it smells decent too.

I also picked up another bottle of tattoo since they've raised the price to $20.  I'm glad I managed to find one of the older ones that were cheaper.  I just hope it doesn't expire, but I couldn't resist.  It's such a great smelling perfume for an insane price.

Streetwear society - Black and white chiffon top/dress with cutout accents:  $4.50 @ Urban Behavior (RSP:  $17)

Plus the latest issue of H&M magazine...pretty much the whole reason I made this trip!  Well, of course I did other things while I was out, but that was the deciding factor.

If you wait too long they'll be gone in no time.  I once went 2 years without an issue before I figured out their schedule!

Anyway, I'm really glad I bought this top.  It's long enough to be a dress!  It has cut out accents under the collar and it just has everything I like.

I even got $.50 off because there was a stain on it!  There weren't any other ones left and I didn't notice when I picked it up.

This store had a lot of other great tops for $5, but I'm trying to be picky.  I could find most of them secondhand for cheap, so if it's not a must have it stays behind.

On the other hand...most of the time I do see them secondhand, they're around $4 anyway!  So at this price, I might as well buy it new.

I was considering this top in a blush pink/black combo, but I think I made the right choice.  I have way too much pink in my closet and I rarely wear it.

But....if it's still there next time, I still might pick it up!  It'll probably be gone though, it's really out of the way and I hardly ever go.

I wish the one near me didn't close down!  I got so many great deals there.

Sasha - Skull knuckle duster faux crocodile clutch:  $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $24.99+)

Plus the latest issue of H&M magazine and my obligatory Sephora perfume samples.

I checked out a few Winners, but sadly, they barely had anything left.  The stuff that was left was still expensive to boot!

I was really undecided on the clutch, since I don't like the ones that feel like hard cardboard.  I also wasn't super crazy about the ring design:

But it's different from the ones I already have, plus I won't be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.

If only I came tomorrow!  It would have been $3 then, which totally would have been worth it.  There's a stone missing, but I have an idea for that.

$5 really wasn't that great considering that flaw, but desperate times call for desperate measures!  I just hope I won't be disappointed tomorrow.

All off eBay.

I really didn't expect to see that skull necklace!  It took over two months to arrive.












I like the gold owl necklace (didn't notice it fell over in the picture), but it's way cheaper quality than I expected.  It looks just like some of the other ones I bought that were great quality, I really wish I didn't pay as much for this one.

Plus, I accidentally won another one, so I have another on the way!

Elle magazine:  free from samplesource (RSP:  $3.99)
Heart and stroke lottery calendar:  $25
$10 Wal-Mart gift card:  free from Tellwut

I'm really surprised I didn't get any eBay packages today, but at least I got these.  I really wasn't expecting any of them so soon!

Sophie.b - pink bra w/black lace accents:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
Rene Rafe - pink zebra print bra:  $3 (RSP:  $7.99 - $16)

Both @ Winners.

Plus perfume samples and a copy of H&M magazine - finally!  I've figured out their distribution schedule.  I'll never miss an issue again...whereas before, I've only gotten one a year for the past few years!

I was really surprised to see such cheap bras at Winners today.  I even found a $2 one!  I tried on 5 but only walked away with these two...the zebra one was an afterthought. 

I thought there'd be no way it would fit, but surprisingly, it fits better than the other one.

I looked at another Winners and it wasn't as good...I saw the same bras for $5!  I'm really happy I saw the ones above. 

Barbie Collector catalog:  free
American Apparel - neon blue nail polish:  free (RSP:  $7.50)
Black/white gold cuff:  $2.25 off eBay
Gold rhinestone encrusted snake bracelet:  $1.41 off eBay

Here are better pictures of the bracelets:

They were both better than expected!

Red sandals w/shiny gold trim:  $2 @ Icing (RSP:  $36.50)

Shoe-a-holic magazine (RSP:  $6.95)

Flare magazine (RSP:  $3.99)

Free @ Town Shoes.

I love magazines, but I never want to pay for them.  I saw that Town Shoes was giving away two of them free just for entering their store, so I made a trip out of it (there aren't any near me).

The first magazine really should be free!  It's basically just a catalog, they're the only store featured!

Plus, it's not like there are any articles....I'd be realllly surprised if someone was willing to pay for these.  It probably has 1/3 of the pages that Flare does, and Flare's even cheaper!

I ended up getting some perfume samples at Sephora while I was out.  I'm trying to find the scent for me, plus I just love getting vials of perfume.

I probably shouldn't have bought the sandals though.  I really like how they look, but they're a size too big.

They didn't look that big, I thought I could make them work somehow!  I've never seen shoes that cheap there before.
