Lolita Lempicka - L'Eau Jolie 30 ml EDT:  $19.99 free @ Shopper's drug mart (RSP:  $55)

I was waiting until they sent me a $10 off coupon, but I saw that they only had one left so I decided to just buy it now.  I used the gift card I got for seeing a presentation, so it was free!  I still have $4 left on it.

Lolita Lempicka - L'eau en blanc 100 ml eau de parfum:  $25 @ amazon.ca (RSP:  $100+)

I was so surprised to find this!  It only came out last year, plus things are normally priced ridiculously on amazon.ca.  This was actually the cheapest price I've seen for this anywhere, so I just had to snatch it up.  It even had free shipping!

I'm in love with Lolita Lempicka, so I always buy their apple shaped perfumes whenever I see them at a decent price.  This has been the best deal so far!

I went to shoppers drug mart and saw they have a lot of interesting perfumes on clearance...DKNY Be delicious (red and golden) and BCBGMaxazria bon chic.  I smelled them before and though they were good, but I didn't try them until then.

Be Delicious was a bit disappointing.  There are times it smells good, and other times where it just smells sickening!  At the end it sort of smells like a cucumber.  It was $20 for 30 ml at shoppers, but I've seen the 50 ml version for $25 at winners before.  I think I'll pass on those.

I might get Bon Chic though.  It last so long...20 hours as of now!  But it's so generic smelling...that's in a good way though.  At some parts it smells like a mango, but the scent just seems a bit above a body spray. 

I do like the bottle though.  I'll have to think about it!

Lolita Lempicka - Fleur defendue 50 ml Eau de parfum:  $20.84 $8.83 @ FragranceX (RSP:  $82)

It's the yellow bottle....I read so many good things about this company, I didn't think there'd be any problems.  But sadly, there was.

I bought the item unboxed, which is supposed to be a completely new bottle without packaging (or damaged packaging.

Well....I'm pretty sure it's been used!  I noticed right away that the volume wasn't the same as my other one, which is the exact same size (and exact same bottle!):

The other reason I'm sure is because I can smell the scent from the bottle.  From my other two bottles which have never been sprayed, I can't smell anything.

Even though it was still a good price considering everything, I'm annoyed that I was deceived.  I don't think I would have bought a bottle of perfume that was used, at least not for a way heftier discount.

It turns out they have a ton of negative reviews, even for selling fakes...I'm sure this one is real.  It smells pretty darn good too!

I sent them an e-mail...let's see if they reply.  I hope they do something about this, what they did was totally wrong.

I was interested in buying one more perfume from them, but if they blow me off I really shouldn't.

Because I bought it through ebates, it'll actually work out to $19.38!  That's including shipping.  Well, that's if ebates ever comes through, it still doesn't show up in my account!

*edit*

I don't know why, but a little more than a month later, they sent me $10.55 back, which makes it only $8.83!  What a steal.  That's definitely what I would pay for a somewhat used tester.

I complained a while ago, and they said I could return the item for a refund.  They even sent me a prepaid postage label!

I decided I didn't want to deal with the hassle (especially of getting my full payment back) so I didn't do anything.  This was a total surprise.

Lolita Lempicka - 50 ml Eau de parfum:  $20.50 @ Shopper's drug mart (RSP:  $82)

I wasn't sure about this since I already bought the eau de toilette...but this was such a good deal.  20 ml more for the same price!

The eau de parfum is the one I really wanted, but I thought the toilette smelled pretty similar which is why I bought it the last time.

Still..there have to be differences!  I just had to pick it up, it's still $82 at Sephora!  I absolutely love this scent, but I actually haven't tried it yet.  At least the bottle looks great, and I'm always going to love smelling it, even if it's not on me!

I got a sample of Vichy moisturizer and a Burberry scent card at the same time.  I got the carded samples at another Shopper's.

 

Mistral - Belle fleur eau de parfum (20 ml):  $10 @ Winners (RSP:  $20)
Lolita Lempicka eau de toilette (30 ml):  $20 @ Shoppers drug mart (RSP:  $50+)

I've been on a perfume kick lately!  I've seen that Lolita lempicka perfume at Shoppers for a while, but I was waiting for a sale.

That happened yesterday!  Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything else I wanted so I couldn't use my coupon (which was $20 off $75 or more).  I wasted a lot of time trying different shoppers, but none of them had the right combinations.

Also, I felt uncomfortable blind testing $20 perfumes, even though some of them did retail for $50-$90.  It's a steal for sure (would have been $15 per bottle!), but only if I actually like it!

Which was the case for the Lolita Lempicka.  It's one of my favourite scents ever, so I just had to go back and get it.  It's still $60+ at Sephora!

Plus I got a few samples of hot couture:



The back for reference, since I already threw them away:

I had 4 of them in total, so I decided to try to put them in a bottle.  Well, I spilled some, but surprisingly, there was still a decent amount in there!  I really wasn't sure if there was even a pourable amount inside, but there was probably almost 1 ml.

It smells disgusting on me though...it takes a while before it smells bearable.

I just found out that this weekend Shoppers drug mart was having a 20x event when you spend $50...I'm sure I could have made that!

RD Style - blue and black bodycon dress:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99 - $30)

Studio Guy Laroche - Studded black leather gloves:  $8 (RSP:  $29.99 +)

All @ Winners.

This is the stuff I was excited about!  The dress is definitely the best deal for this round.  It's such great quality and just gorgeous.

I was also happy about the leather gloves, but I really wish the black ones were cheaper.  They were missing one stud!

Both of them are perfect otherwise, and $5 for a perfect pair of leather gloves is a steal to me.  I didn't want to come back later so I bought them anyway, at least they're warm and awesome looking.

The Lolita Lempicka bath foam was an afterthought.  I wasn't sure if I wanted it!  The prospect of getting something from Sephora for cheap clinched it for me...plus it smelled nice and the jar was cute.

Now I'm really glad I did, since it retailed for around $50!  I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
