I Can Haz: Another HKN wishlist

I really love seeing people's wish lists because it gets me excited about stuff that I might not have known about otherwise. Being a 20- something year old living on her own, I obviously can't pop out and buy every little thing that comes to mind so I like to make wish lists and when I have disposable income, I can refer back to it and buy myself a little sumthin sumthin! I want to cover cosmetics and clothing so bear with me here! (Aside: I actually had to google whether it was bear of bare because both seemed. Once sounds like an animal, one sounds like getting nekkid. Just sayin')
There's something for everybody!


  • A new blush brush. My blush brush is looking really sad right now and I am in dire need of a new one.

I am a huge believer in Wal- Mart's Spa Resource brand brushes. This particular blush brush is made of natural hair and is only 8$!! I have two of those slanted blush brushes and can't stand them so I'm going back to the classic shape. So far I have loved the other brushes that I've purchased so I'll probably continue on with these.

  • Joe Fresh Cream Blush
I'm on a real blush kick and I'm dying to try a cream blush so this works out just dandy. I've read great things about these and for 8$, I'm definitely willing to give them a go.


  • Covergirl's Intense Shadowblast in Brown Bling

I bought one of these in "Forever Pink" and I've been using it most days ever since. It's waterproof and creaseproof so you can use it as a base for any eye shadow or just whip it on for a quick but finished look (key for early mornings before work). This brown-ish taupey colour is right up my alley.

  • Essie's "Power Clutch".

I love LOVE dark vampy nail polishes in the fall and winter but refuse to wear a simple black. What I really love are colours that are so dark, they're practically black. With it's green undertones, "Power Clutch" fits the bill. Plus, it doesn't look like anything I have in my large MASSIVE collection.

  • Wet n' Wild's Party of Five Glitters.

I've been kind of obsessing over Deborah Lipmann's Glitter in the Air but there is no way I'm paying 30$ on a nail polish!

I already have a great baby blue nailpolish and I think that with Party of Five Glitters on top, I can achieve a similar look.

Onto the clothes!!
  • Rust coloured pants.

Because I rarely actually sit at my desk at my job, I tend to wear pants to be comfortable and to avoid flashing my goods when I'm on a ladder or hanging from the ceiling, or whatever. I have a pretty good array of basic pants but I'm looking for something a little ZAZZY. I love this colour for the fall.

  • A loose knit sweater.


I love all of the awesome sweaters that I've seen so far this season and I especially love all of the metallic knitwear that's being shown. Such a cool twist. This particular one is from Love Culture.

  • Simple blouses. Pretty self-explanatory, I think.


  • Leopard Belt.

This is definitely not the first appearance of this particular item on my wish lists but I just can't seem to find the perfect one! Gahhhh!


This, to me, is really an ideal boot.


Could you wear these to work? Sure. Could you wear these to go out? Sure. Could you wear these everyday until they literally rot off your feet? I plan to do so.

  • Loud Chain jewelry.



I'll let all that awesome shopping fun sink in. Hope you guys enjoyed! xx

Polka Dottie

It's been a while and for some reason I've been feeling rather disconnected from the Interwebz so I wasn't really sure how to get back into things. I had time to snap some pictures before heading out the door so that's what you get! I would love to show you some fabulous fall outfit but for now, it's hot as hell in Montreal so we're going to have to wait a little longer.




Top: Zara, Skirt: Thrifted and DIYed, Belt: F21, Shoes: Aldo
I am loving how practical these little wedges are! They're majorly on sale too! http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/sale/women/sale-sandals/84169005-pouche/28


Face:
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in shade 51 light vanilla
Hard Candy Glamouflage Concealer
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer
Maybelline Dream Matte powder
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish blush in Warm Soul

Eyes: 
Joe Fresh eyeshadow in Sugar
Sleek brown  and black matte eyeshadows from storm palette

Lips: 17 lipstick in "Beehive"

Just a note on the makeup, I have to sing my praises for MAC's Warm Soul blush. It's the perfect neutral blush colour that I love to use when I have any redness of spots on my cheeks (which is where they tend to pop up). It defines my face without drawing attention to any of those flaws and for that I have to say it has Holy Grail status in my books.

Hope you're all enjoying the long weekend! xx
