Monster High - Ghouls night out Spectra (RSP:  $29.99)

Monster High - Music Festival Clawdeen (RSP:  $19.99 - $24.99)

Monster High - Music Festival Abbey (RSP:  $19.99 - $24.99)

$20 for all from Walmart.ca

They were actually supposed to be $10 each, which would have been a steal in itself.  These dolls basically just came out, and that's practically the lowest any of them go (usually after a long, agonizing wait).

The problem...wal mart sent them in a plastic bag with  NO protection at all!!  Of course the boxes all came mangled, it's even worse in person.

They ended up giving me $10 back, which makes everything a total steal.  I did want to keep them in box though, but the packaging is so battered I don't know if I will.

Even worse, the dolls themselves had flaws!  Spectra has scratches all over her legs, which is strange, since there's no reason for it:

And Abbey's lip paint is totally ruined.  It's half gone, you can even see some of it on the box!

I contacted mattel, so let's see if they do something about it.  Normally they send some money off vouchers for damaged dolls, so I'm hoping they do that here.

*edit*

They gave me a $40 voucher.  Hooray!

Benefit - They're real mascara and watt's up highlighter:  free @ Sephora (RSP:  ~$20)

Plus some tattoo samples from burberry.  What an odd idea, but it's presented in a really neat way.

The set from Sephora is their birthday freebie.  They always have such good ones!  This one and last year's were worth about $20 each...what a generous gift!  

They actually offered me last year's again, but I'd rather have a different one, even though I'd use the older one more.

Also got a gift from a friend:



A purse with pearl accents, a pearl necklace, and a cherub figure.  She sure knows what I like!

Ultima II - Head over heels 50 ml eau de toilette spray:  $11.36 @ Fragrancex

Last time was a fiasco, but since they handled it well, I decided to try them out again.  Well, they were also the cheapest place to get this, so that was another deciding factor!

I really only wanted this for the bottle.  I thought it was so fun and kitschy!  

I was hoping the perfume would smell decent, but I wasn't counting on it.  Not surprisingly, it smells horrible...like hairspray with a slight fruity smell at times.  I would never war this!  It used to be made by revlon, so I wasn't expecting much.

Sadly, they're not on ebates anymore, so I didn't get any cashback for this.

I'm in love with that lace collar!  The little heart charms are such a great addition.

I actually ended up getting two of the double snake necklace, but I have no idea why!  I got one from a different seller, I'm not sure which one made the mistake.  

Gold accent floral porcelain serving tray:  $1.99

Vintage Japanese ceramic pig cookie jar:  $1.99

Both @ Salvation Army

I was looking for some frames, but I came across these instead.  I almost didn't buy them, but I couldn't resist...especially since I had a BOGO coupon.  The pig jar was regularly priced $3.99, which was a decent price anyway.  $1.99 was a total steal!

The tray was the first thing I picked up.  I just thought it was so pretty, and the price was unheard of for what it is.  I think it might be plated in real gold!

It's hand painted, but all of the other markings have faded off.  Too bad.  After deciding on the tray for sure, I bought the pig to make use of my aforementioned coupon.

I just like kitschy retro stuff from Japan, especially when it's $2 or less!  Too bad that doesn't have markings either, I like having more info on my finds.

Elle Beauty Box - Fall 2013

This is a new thing they're starting.  I've considered subscribing to one, so this was a nice surprise!  I wasn't sure if I was going to get one, since it was a guarantee.

This was completely free, so I can't really complain...but I really wish they sent me the box with the nail polish!  That one also had 30 ml samples of shampoo and conditioner.

The box I got was the age reversing box - which at 28, I have no use for!  I seriously have no signs of aging, I still get carded!  So I really can't give them feedback on those products, I wonder if they just sent them out at random.

Mine came with a full size covergirl mascara, 10 ml shampoo and condition samples, a white strip, and some age reversing serum.

They're having another one soon.  I hope I get that one too, and it actually has products I can use!

All off eBay

I normally don't buy clothes off ebay, so I don't know why I ended up with so many lately.  The quality is normally pretty horrible, stuff that wouldn't be fit to sell at your local mall.

Surprisingly, all of these were at least decent.  The satin and white floral dresses were mall quality.  The other chiffon ones were a little cheaper feeling, but they still looked good.

The button up dress is the worst!  I wish I didn't pay so much.  The quality is noticeably worse, even though the style looks good.  I've seen it for around $12 lately, so I wish I paid that or less.

I'm happiest about the satin sundress.  It looks just like a huge scarf!  I thought it was so neat, and I was really excited to get it for such a great price.

The embroidered top was beautiful, and the price was so good!  Too bad it ended up being too small for me.  It's great quality and unique.   I got a partial refund because a button fell off.

My favourite dress is the yellow floral one.  I just really like the colour combinations and print, plus it looks great on.  Well, they all do this time!
