Mac Cosmetics | Gold Standard Matte Lipstick Set

I absolutely love shopping at Winners and Homesense. They are great places to go to for home goods, beauty and fashion items. A lot of the time I just like to browse to see if they have anything new or worthwhile. As you guys know, this year my mission has been to be on a low buy and just purchase what I need. However, when I went to Winners a few days back I saw a bunch of gold boxes on the bottom self. They caught the corner of my eye and when I picked it up I saw it was this beautiful set of lipsticks for only $39.99 CAD!!! Here in Canada, Mac lipsticks at full price are $33. Extremely expensive and very difficult to rationalize purchasing when I have 30+ lip products already. 

The set had a security tag on it so I wasn't able to read the description to see if they were full sized lipsticks or just minis. $40 for minis is crazy but for 5 full sized lipsticks? Now that is a steal!! The girl working the cash was very gracious in letting me open the box in front of her and when I saw it was full sized lipsticks I told the girl to ring me up because they were coming home with me! I've never had any sort of Mac lip products or ever tried any so to be able to get 5 full sized ones it was an offer too good to pass up. 


I love the gold detailing of the lipsticks. It gives golden age of Hollywood vibes which I am totally digging! And what makes this set even better beyond the lipsticks being gorgeous is that you can remove the insert that holds the lipsticks and use the case as a clutch. 


From left to right, the lipstick shades are; Sin, Mull it to the Max, Forever Curious, Warm Teddy and Velvet Teddy. I have always wanted to try Mac lipsticks but with how much they cost, I never got around to trying them so I am so happy that I am able to and it's amazing just how affordable they are! So far for this year, I don't foresee myself buying anymore makeup products but if I do see some good deals on skincare then I might just jump on it. 

If you have a Winners or Homesense near you then I highly recommend you check them out and see if you can snag this amazing deal as well!

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
