Vintage suede purse:  $7.80
Celine - Wool trench style coat:  $18 (RSP:  $3200+!)

Both @ Sisters

I almost didn't go in!  That would have been a huge mistake.  Everything was 40% off so I decided to take a look.

The coat caught my eye right away, but it was a little more than I wanted to pay.  I had no hesitations once I tried it on though...it fits like a dream!  Like it was made for me.



Definitely one of my best finds ever, I'm so happy!  I don't think it's very old, the label and fit are definitely modern.

I ended up buying this too, since I was interested in it last time.  I just love the classic style, and it looked new.


It was great quality too...it's even suede on the inside!  I'm not exactly sure if it's suede on the outside, since it's not like any other suede I've felt.  It's definitely some kind of leather though.

Bath retreat - Cocoa body mist:  $1.99 each @ Shoppers drug mart (RSP:  $8.49 each)
Lululemon reusable bag:  free ($4 online!)

I tried this last time and was surprised at how nice it was.  It lasted almost the entire day, and it smelled so good!

I was worried they might be all sold out, or the sale might have been over.

Well, when I got there they had a few left, but the sale signs were gone!  I checked anyway...and surprisingly, they were even cheaper than last time (which was $3.99)!

I ended up getting two.  This time it smelled a little cheaper, but I think that's because of the moisturizer I put on this time.  Last time it was just divine!

There was another one I wanted, but this one was better.  It didn't smell as good this time either, so I decided to pass on it.  I'll get it if it's around next time.

I wanted something I could use everyday...I just don't want to be using up my perfumes for ordinary occasions.  This is a nice and cheap alternative.

The bag wasn't from here, it was from Sister's.  It was nice of them to give me that instead of a plastic bag (which I stupidly paid for here!).

Various samples...the BB cream was the best!  It's pretty decently sized at 8 ml, especially since the regular size is around 30 ml.

Katy Perry - Meow! gift set:  $28.99 @ London Drugs (RSP:  $49.99 - $65+)

The set includes the following:

-100  ml eau de parfum spray
-10 ml eau de parfum roll on
-120 ml shimmering body lotion
-120 ml shower gel

I really don't know why I bought this.  I was just browsing online and saw this gift set...I thought it was a great price, considering the perfume alone retails for $65!  I've even seen people pay $80 plus shipping for this set on eBay!

I never thought I'd buy a celebrity perfume, but I actually smelled her other one and really liked it.  I can't remember if I smelled this one or not.  If so, I didn't think much of it.

Well....I really loved the bottle!  And I thought I might like the scent (since I read online that this dries similar to her other one), so I decided to buy the set in case I liked it.

Plus...it was sold out at my nearest store, and the other one only had one in stock!  I didn't know how long the sale would last, so I decided to go out and buy it right away.  It was on my mind for the last few days, so I just had to go!

This is what it looks like from the outside:


On the inside:


I saw the 30 ml versions for $20 each at Shoppers drug mart, but didn't think it was worth it (that's how much my Lempicka's cost!).

This one was $9 more for 70 more ml, plus all of those extras!  That one seemed worth it.  Moreover, I didn't have to pay anything since I had some gift cards (thanks Mom!).

I'm going to see if I can test the fragrance at another store, I still might end up returning this.  Too bad Purr wasn't on sale, I really like that one!

I read that some people in the US were finding this size perfume for $20, some as low as $10!  I would have preferred to pay that much, but I doubted it would ever go that low here.

Well, I'll be kicking myself if it does!  Who knows what will happen after Christmas!  Paying $20 less and foregoing the extras would be a no-brainer.

Novi Stars - Tula toned, Una Verse, and Mallie Tasker:  $9.97 each @ Toys r us (RSP:  $24.99 each)
Xtra closet:  $3 @ Dollarama

Finally!  I've been waiting for these dolls to go under $10.  That sure took a long time....once I was tempted when they were $12, but I'm glad I waited.

I just wished I decided to buy them earlier, since I could have price matched them at wal mart and used my gift card to get them for free.  Oh well, next time!

The last two were must haves, but I was unsure about the first one.  I think the idea of her is really interesting, but her execution was kind of messy.  She just seems all over the place!

I already opened her up, so I guess she's staying.  She's water filled, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been tempted!

The back, in case I decide to get rid of the packaging:


There were two other ones I was interested in, but I just didn't feel like they were worth it.  One of them was just scented, while the other one lit up (in a cheap happy meal kind of way).

The ones I bought were water or glitter filled, and the one with multiple arms is stretchy and glows in the dark.  I love gimmicks like that! 

If the other ones go any lower, I'll pick them up too.  But for now I'm satisfied.

So exciting!  I didn't know that some companies sent out samples on request.  This one only took 6 days, the sizes are so generous!

I kind of wish I asked for more...they have a ton of fragrances that I'm really curious about.

Samples...they seem to give this one away ever so often.  It's nice that it all comes in a fabric pouch.
