Haulin'

In Canada we have a store called Shoppers. Where I live, one half of the shop carries brands like Dior, Benefit, Clarins and other 'high end' ranges. While the other half carries drug store brands such as Revlon, Maybelline and Essie. I personally love this way of shopping, it's easy, convenient and allows the consumer to compare price point. I went to Shoppers to buy nail polish remover but after much perusing I bought a few other items...






I know in my June Empties post I said I would wait for another sample size of the Clinique Moisture Surge but I couldn't help myself! I also really wanted to try their clearing concealer, I purchased the shade 01. I've used it once and so far so good (coverage-wise). I like the concept of treating acne while concealing. The salicylic acid is what drew me into this product. Though I'm currently loving my Neutrogena sunblock Biotherm has never let me down and I decided I wanted to try their spf 30.  

In other news I finished perks of being a wallflower and LOVED it! I didn't realize it had such a cult following but now I understand why. It's actually such an amazing novel, the characters were perfectly crafted and I can't wait to watch the film adaptation of this book. Now I'm reading skinnydipping by Bethenny Frankel. Personally I think sarcasm is the spice of life and therefore I'm enjoying this beach read but if you don't get dry humour this isn't the book for you. 
What are you currently reading? Have you tried any of the products mentioned in this haul? Let me know! :)

Shallow Obsessions

Just need to post about a couple of things I am loving right now! 


1) Nylon magazine. I've been reading it for about a year and I have to say each issue exceeds expectations. The beauty section is especially fabulous.


2) Hunger Games. Yes, I am waay late on the bandwagon but still loving it anyway. Just started Catching Fire and I am feeling #teampeeta :P

yes, that is actually work underneath the magazine

obligatory nail shot
Hope you have a good monday! Let me know some of your favorite things right now :)
