Oh Sunday you are the best. And this Sunday in particular
was especially sweet. I had an extremely busy Friday and Saturday, where I
literally did not stop all day or night, until the wee hours. So when Sunday
rolled around, when I had the day off, I was very much looking forward to it. I
had a few errands to run and one of them happened to be a stop at…. You guessed
it. Sephora. I had received an email about a week ago informing me that they
were surprising their VIB members by giving them 15% off their purchases this weekend.
Of course I didn’t need anything, but when has that stopped me from venturing
over there. You know, just to look. I actually surprised myself by how little I
ended up choosing. Usually I have quite the “reputation” when it comes to sales.
I literally said out loud to myself as I was parking my vehicle at the mall, “Well, let's go make it rain”.

I circled the store a few times, looking at every section, thinking
there must be something new and cool I don’t have and that I want. TooFaced had
their new Melted Metal Liquid Lipsticks out and I couldn’t wait to swatch them
all. I ended up choosing the shade “Dream House”. Tarte had a new limited
edition palette out and it was beautiful. Gorgeous neutral eyeshadows with two
blushes and a bronzer. And it was a great price to boot. ($50).

Well, after making sure no stone was left unturned, I went
to the checkout to pay for my purchases and was instantly saddened when my
favourite blue-eyeshadowed boy wasn’t working. (See The Last Supper post for further details on this.) The girl who rang me through
however, was awesome. She immediately complimented me on my lipstick, asking which
one I was wearing and commenting on how pretty it was. Good old Wet N Wild, you
never cease to amaze me. I told her I got it because of Kaitlyn Bristowe, which
led to her telling me how much she loves her too, and about a friend of hers
that used to work with her. We chatted about makeup and The Bachelor as I paid,
and she gave me some amazing goodies in my bag. She generously gave me a
Sephora brand makeup bag AND a gorgeous full sized Bite lipstick to try, both completely free.
(Kaitlyn wears Bite as well). She was telling me about the Bite brand and about
how it was started by a Canadian woman, which is definitely something I can get
behind. It definitely pays to be friendly to staff members who work at makeup
stores like Sephora or Shoppers since they are the ones who have access to all
the fun stuff like gift with purchases and samples. I am thrilled about her
generosity and I can’t wait to try the lipstick.
On another note, THANK YOU for reading my blog! I am blown
away by the amount of “views” I have gotten, and I would love to hear from you!
I have a spot on the top right hand side where you can email me. Thank you
again for showing interest in my blog. I
am having the time of my life with it!
