Freebies! BBW released the coupon for another week. I got my family to come with me to get a few more. The olay was free too, since I had a coupon for it.

Their website is so much better than their freestanding stores! When I returned some of my last order, they scanned in at full price!
They don't order free shipping anymore, but at least you can ship free to a post office. I actually didn't buy all of this stuff in one order...I wish I had, since I bought enough to get free shipping to my house!
I totally went overboard with the pyjamas, but they were such a good deal. It's normally $3 just for the pants! I didn't know if they'd ever be this cheap again, so I basically bought one of everything...I did leave two behind, so at least there's that.
The robes ended up being as thin as the $3 ones I got from Dollarama! I knew those were a good deal. These ones have hoods though, so they're better.
They had some $5 robes that were around $20 regular price, so I kind of wish I bought one of those too. I couldn't tell how thick they were from the pictures, and I wasn't sure if they were going to be worth it.
The maxi skirt was a total surprise! They only had an XS in stock, but it looked nice so I thought I'd see how it was in person. Well, it actually fits! The material is very stretchy, and it's surprisingly comfortable on. It's even long enough to wear as a dress!

There was this gorgeous cardigan that I wanted to get, but it sold out in 20 minutes! None of the other stuff had sold out in the duration of the whole day, so I didn't expect that to happen.
I was on my laptop that freezes a lot, so I thought I'd make the order on my main desktop downstairs. Next time I'll order as soon as I see it!

Bag of dolls: $3.99 @ Value Village
I actually went to three today, and this was the last one. I was starting to think that I wouldn't come away with anything today!
I thought that was a Jenny doll when I first saw it. It turned out to be a clone from a Korean company I've never heard of...Young Toys. Turns out she's called Jouju, and they still make them! This one's from 2004.
She looks dead on! The quality looks about the same too, but the body looks just like a Barbie's (as in stockier than usual). I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this doll before.
Of course, I still love my Blythes too. These ones have some of their stock outfit, so I was pretty psyched about that. I mostly find them nude, and it's been a while!

And I thought that Ricki's sale was good! This place is owned by the same company, so it's not surprising that they had a similar sale. It was really out of the way for me, but I'm glad I went for it...everything was better than I thought!
Somehow, it seems better quality than the stuff I got at Ricki's. Even though they're the same price, the fabric feels different from the cheaper mass produced stuff.
I'm happiest about the dress. It's even more beautiful in person! I actually wasn't sure from the picture, but in person, there was no doubt.

I spent way more than I wanted to...I never thought I'd spend nearly $100 all on one go here! But all of the sales items were an extra half off, and there were so many things I wanted.
I did pay more than I usually would. I don't like paying more than $5 from anything from these fast fashion stores, and I don't like paying over $3 for skirts either. But since the pictures made them look so good, I decided to pay a little extra.
For the sequined stuff, I was fine with paying those prices...they're worth it! They'd be way more anywhere else.
Annoyingly, I missed out on the dress that I really wanted! It was in my cart, but it sold out before checkout. I didn't want to make multiple orders, but now I really wish I did. I'm sure I would have gotten it if I didn't spend so much time finding reviews on each item. Oh well, next time I'll know...
A lot of these are just as gorgeous in person, but the sizing is really hit or miss. A lot are too small, some are too big, and only some fit just right. It's pretty disappointing..especially since everything was final sale.
I really made the order for the sequined things. First I saw them online, and thought they were gorgeous...then I saw them in person, and I wanted them even more! So when things were finally half off, I couldn't help but go overboard.
Even though I spent a lot, I wish I bought more things. Like that lace mini skirt in blue...I didn't because I already ordered so many blue skirts, but that one was such great quality! I was surprised for the price.
I also wish I bought the full lace bodycon dresses...they were made from the same material as the skirts, so I know they would have been a good buy too.
Can't wait for the next one!

Japonesque Glitz & Glam Brush Set (RSP: $14.88 - $20)
ybf Delipcious Dream 5-Piece Lip Collection (RSP: $34.95)
$10.49 for all @ The Shopping Channel
This is the stuff I got for myself during the promotion. That was before I knew that some items had free shipping, but I would have gotten these anyway. I only had to pay shipping for these.
I don't really wear makeup, but I'd like to learn. I wanted some good quality stuff to get me started, so this promotion came at the right time! Even though I've never heard of the company, Japonesque stuff is supposed to be well made.
I just really bought it because it was the right price, and I love pink glitter. The package says it's a $45 value!
I've never heard of the lipstick brand either, since it's only sold on the shopping channel and on the retailer's site. It has over 100 good reviews on hsc though, and it sounded like just what I was looking for!
I used to wear lipstick sometimes in high school (mostly for Halloween), and the ones I tried all had problems. They were drying, they smelled bad, they didn't last long, and they were mostly matte...I wanted something that was the complete opposite of that, and these fit the bill!
They smell (and supposedly taste) good, they have high shine, and they're said to last long. Even at the regular price of around $7 each, these seem like a steal. That's the price of drugstore makeup, and those ones all have those qualities I dislike!

Tony Little Cheeks Energy Incline Trainer with Workout DVD (RSP: $32.33 - $69.95)
Pur Minerals Eyeshadow Brush (RSP: $ 16)
Free @ The Shopping Channel
Best freebie ever! They were giving away a $50 credit to new customers. I was skeptical about whether I would get my order or not (there were a ton of cancellations), but luckily, they pulled through.
Too bad the sneakers are uncomfortable. I was really excited about them! Some people said that they're the most comfortable shoes they own, and they're even made out of leather.
They're raised at an angle to give you more of a workout, and they're really padded...but they're just too narrow for me. I guess I'll see if they stretch out after a while.
I didn't really want the brush that much, but I thought I should make the most out of my credit.
George Women's Dress Boot - $5 (RSP: $35)
George Pioneer Buckled Boots - $5 (RSP: $29)
All @ Walmart.ca
This is the first I've bought from them ever since they did away with their free shipping policy. Too bad...but luckily they still ship for free to a post office. There is one near me, so it's still worth ordering from them!
I actually bought two of the first boot, one was for my mom. I was undecided about them, since it pleather doesn't last that long...but since they were so cheap, I decided to give them a try.
Well, they're a lot nicer than I expected! $5 isn't much, so it's worth it even if I only get a few wears out of it.
The second one was better. It's pretty comfortable, so I'll get a lot of use out of it! The fake suede does feel pretty stiff and crappy, but it looks great on. I just bought it in brown, so hopefully that comes.
The pants were utter disappointments. They're the worst flannel I've ever felt! They were so rough and cheap feeling, plus the colours weren't that bright in person. Worst of all, they sent me the wrong colour!
It's just bizarre having a black Christmas themed item. So depressing!

Pink walking dog toy: $3.14 @ Aliexpress
The one I got from value village for around $2 has gone wonky, so I wanted a replacement. If I knew how cheap I could get one new, I wouldn't have bought a used one!
Even though this is my cheapest one, I think it's more charming than the other ones. It has light up eyes...which is strange, but I like it. It also barks and walks non stop, and in a much faster manner than all of the other ones.
So it's the least realistic one, but it sure gets my attention!

I've never shopped here before. I used to think they only sold frumpy workwear, and I'd probably feel the same way if I didn't check out this sale!
These sweaters are definitely my style. They look the same as the more fashionable stores, except they use even better materials! I just wish I sized down for a lot of them, since they didn't end up being as figure flattering as they are in the picture.
Still, I'm satisfied for the price I paid. It was this cheap because all of them were 30% off the last sale price, and there was a $10 off code.
*edit*
I ended up returning one because I just couldn't get into it..it was just super ugly! Even though it was the cheapest one, I didn't like anything about it.
As a plus, it made my other items cheaper!

Ramones t-shirt: $2 @ Claire's (RSP: $22.75)
I'm always embarrassed to shop here, but I do because I know there are still some adult appropriate items in there.
Like this shirt! This wouldn't be out of place anywhere else. I like some of their songs, plus I liked the graphic, so I was alright with buying it.
This shirt is actually longer in the back than in the front! None of my other shirts are like that. It's a good idea...it covers your butt.
Ironically, this shirt is way oversized! Claire's sizing is usually smaller than normal, but I could fit into their small/medium. I hope it doesn't shrink!

Ruffled leggings: $5.05 @ Aliexpress
I thought these looked so cool! I didn't know if I could pull them off, but I wanted to try.
I first saw them on eBay for around $13...I definitely didn't want to pay that much. Luckily aliexpress had me covered!
They're one size fits all, so I was a bit worried about them being too small. Surprisingly, they do fit me, and they're comfortable!! I didn't expect that. They really stretch!
These were such a great buy! I still don't know how to wear them, but we'll see how it goes. They look like such a pretty skirt when you put your legs together.
