Is this a long overdue post or what? The holiday season is always super busy! I finally found some time to write about my small IMATS haul from when I attended the trade show this past November. I think I did a fairly good job sticking to my budget and did not give in to any impulse buys [ok, maybe just one]. I picked up some of my essentials as well as a few products I wanted to try out. My top three things that I wanted to get at the show were MUFE products, a pair of Velour Lashes and an OCC Lip Tar. Out of my haul, I only got one thing that I wasn’t planning on getting beforehand, so I managed to not overspend. Yay! Oh boy, this might be a lengthy one…

Sephora VIB Holiday 2013

Oh dear… why must the Sephora VIB Holiday Event start a few days before IMATS Toronto weekend? So dangerous.

As a VIB member of Sephora’s Beauty Insider rewards program, I received an e-mail a few days ago letting me know that the 2013 VIB Holiday Shopping Event will take place from November 7 – November 11. As long as you have VIB status, you are able to shop at Sephora and enjoy 20% off all purchases made in-store and online [promo code: VIBTOPIA] during this event. Also, you can take home your goodies in a free tote bag [while supplies last]! On top of that, you can also bring in a friend to share your discount with. Isn’t that nice?

Happy Holiglaze 2013 x After School Boy Blazer

Holiglaze 2013 x After School Boy Blazer

Essie ‘After School Boy Blazer’ as base colour, with China Glaze ‘Be Merry Be Bright’ on middle finger and
China Glaze ‘All Wrapped Up’ on ring finger. Orly Bonder as base coat and Essie ‘Good To Go’ as top coat.

I was just saying to myself the other day that maybe after finally swatching all the nail polishes I already had, that I would be less inclined to get my hands on new shades… but nope. I guess not! Especially when there’s good deals involved. I was able to find the Essie shade in a local Marshall’s for only $5.99CAD and Sally Beauty Supply was having a Buy 2, Get 1 free promo for China Glaze’s holiday collection. Not bad, huh?
