GoJane=amazing

I love gojane.com, I constantly check their inventory of shoes because I've gotten a LOT of good deals from their in the past.  I highly recommend it to everyone! Here are a just a few examples of what I've bought:

And I've never payed more than $50/pair including shipping! Also while you're there check out their eyeshadow palettes- they're great when used in combo with Urban Decay's Eye Primer Potion :)

Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion

So I'm not really the kind of girl that feels the need to spend oodles of cash on make-up. I'm pretty satisfied with the drugstore stuff. But there's always been one product I could never chinse out, and could hardly even wear at all for that matter.....eyeshadow! I have oily eyelids so my eyeshadow always creases and basically disappears/ looks like crap.

But not anymore! Thanks to this magical stuff:

This is Urban Decay's Eye Primer Potion (mine's in "Eden"- or nude if you will)

It makes my eyeshadow stay on and look extra-pigmented no matter what brand I'm using!

It's probably the wisest make-up investment I've ever made

and you can find it here or in a Sephora store near you! 

Coupon Codes!

Okay so this is a post for online shoppers. The biggest tip I could ever tell you is NEVER forget to look for coupon codes. The easiest way is just to open a new window and google the store's name and coupon code- open a few of these links and see whatchya can find (just make sure they're not expired)! There are also many forums that constantly keep up to date on these like http://www.smartcanucks.ca/ and http://www.retailmenot.com/
Sometimes coupon codes are even listed on the online store's home page!
Coupon codes are also often e-mailed to subscribers so get signing up to you favourite stores' websites!

A Shopping anddd Crafting Tip All in One

So I'm sure many of you shop at H&M (how could you not?!) but there's something about this store a notice many people don't pick up on.

Every single season for quite some time now, H&M releases a FREE (yes, FREE) magazine available in all their stores. Even if you don't plan on using it as a shopping guide it also makes the perfect magazine for collages! Orrrr you could read it and then chop it up like I do- best of both worlds!

I hate lipstick, I love lipstain.

Suuuuch a big difference. I can't stand that icky feel of lipstick on my lips, but lipstain on the other hand has no feel! So awesome! So what do I recommend?

Covergirl's OUTLAST Lipstain is the bomb!
looooooves it

I got mine in I believe "perfectly plum"? Its #425

The results?

You decide :) (p.s. that's my mama with me on the right in Las Vegas!)

And don't forget to add lip gloss- I used a clear Rimmel one because their's arent sticky or sparkley

My Shower Products ♥

So in creating this blog one of my big goals is to share tips :) so here's a list of what I use in my shower that i DEFINITELY recommend:

(From left to right, back row then front)
1) REDKEN Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner
This stuff if only available in salons (so keep in mind i get it much cheaper) and is way cheaper when bought by the litre. It makes your hair soooo soft and extends the length of your colour (obv lol). If you only wanted to by one I'd say the conditioner's priority. Both litres are about $40 per bottle

2) Pantene Pro-V Colour Preserve Volume Shampoo
Much cheaper then the REDKEN, I like to alternate with this shampoo because it gives more of a deep down clean than REDKEN. It also smells super good! Find it at your local drug store. I usually get mine for about $8.

3) Tressa Watercolors Color Maintenance Shampoo (mines in Wet Brick- for auburn tones in brown hair)
There is nothing else like this stuff, its a color depositing shampoo so you can basically top up your colour between salon (or DIY) colourings, or to give your hair an extra pop on special occasions. Salons only (or the Beauty Supply Outlet- though this "outlet" isn't really cheaper) Usually about $16.

4) Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Hydrating Conditioner
World's most amazing conditioner, hands down. Nothing makes your hair this soft or smell so naturally good. The majority of the ingredients are natural (bonus) anddd while this used to be (back in the day) a salon-only brand, its now available in most drugstores (and goes on sale often-woo). Usually about $16.

5) Softsoap Milk Protein & Honey Body Wash
I have super sensitive skin and this stuff makes my life a lot easier, definitely recommend it. The price varies from $2.50 on sale to $8, and is available at most drugstores.
