2 "Regalia" A4 sized baskets
2 "Regalia" L sized trays

Rose tray
Rose formed cosmetic box 1
Rose formed cosmetic box 2
Ellefar Princess Powder Foundation

$2 each @ Daiso

Except the "formed rose" boxes...those were $3 each.  I wish I bought them last year, they were only $2 each then!  I actually never found them when they were that price though...

They're a lot sturdier than the Regalia ones.  They did have pencil holders that were a similar size, but these are way nicer. 

I'm on a kick for Anna Sui inspired stuff!  Which is why I bought the foundation..it comes in a pretty mirror case I can repurpose.  I also bought some stuff off aliexpress, mainly all in pink.

The black does look beautiful and sophisticated, but the pink just makes me so happy!  I think I might pick up some of the ones in black the next time I come back...I'm still deciding.  I don't really have a place to put them!

The Regalia stuff is all going to be drawer organization.  I'm probably going to need more once I get into it!

They have so many different sizes, but the smaller ones don't seem worth the two bucks.  Especially when the largest ones cost the same!

Too bad they weren't a buck each, like they are in Japan.  I'd buy all of the sizes then!

Anna Sui - La Vie de Bohème 50 ml Eau de Toilette - limited edition caravan tin set:  $18 @ Winners (RSP:  $29.99 - $65)

I decided to exchange a gift, otherwise I probably wouldn't have come in here.  I totally didn't expect to find anything good today, but I was so happy when I found this:


I actually saw this when it was regular price!  I think they only had one, so I wonder if this is the exact same one I handled about a month ago.

I liked it then, and it was a good deal already, considering their regular price of $29.99 is around half off the original retail price....but I don't like paying "full price" for anything.
 

I'm glad I waited.  $18 is a steal!  I only had to pay $3.37 out of pocket, so that was even better.  Hooray!

I really love the bottle, so I might have bought it just for that for that price.  Luckily, the fragrance smells great too.  Win/win!

Anna Sui - Forbidden Affair 50 ml eau de parfum:  $32 $.84 off Amazon.ca (RSP:  $75)

I'm a big fan of Anna Sui perfumes...it was the first perfume I ever picked up!  I especially love her packaging, and this is the best one yet.  


I pretty much bought it for the bottle alone....I tried the perfume in store and didn't like it that much.  Surprisingly, it smelled way better the second time around!  Maybe the first one was just too old.

This one smells really strongly of berries, but I really like it.  It's a little bit mysterious and romantic, it doesn't just smell like straight juice.

I'm really glad I bought it, because it was way better than expected.  The bottle is even more beautiful in person!

$32 is a reasonable price, that's the cheapest I've seen it anywhere!  I wouldn't have paid that much though, since I wasn't super crazy about the scent.  I only bought it because it was practically free after all of the gift cards I got from tellwut and swagbucks.

The price also doubled after I bought it, so I think I got the only one.  I'm not sure why it was so cheap to begin with, it's still $75 at sephora!

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.

Anna Sui - Secret wish 75 ml EDT:  $5

That's funny...I actually paid the same price for a similar mini!  All I wanted was that bottle, the scent inside wasn't impressive.

It was the same case with this...I just wanted that bottle!  For $5, I thought it was a total steal, no matter how the actual perfume smelled.  The regular price was around $100, and there's at least half of it left!

One surprise...this one smells amazing!  Completely different from the other one, which was totally generic.  It actually smells a lot like Tattoo, which smells a lot like Light Blue.

The bottle is just as gorgeous as I expected!
