You know I totally enjoy reading people's post about all the crap they buy =D So here is a couple random things I have bought throughout the past couple weeks.

Okay ever since I read Gaby's post about her body butter she had recently bought I was thinking OMG I WANT SOME TOO =D 

Oddly enough I don't actually think I have ever bought a full size body butter, I think I had been given a couple small ones throughout my life for a gift and thought when I saw this ahh what the hell I am buying it!

Well I lucked out, I had scratched a scratch and save thingy in the store and received 50% off my purchase So I got the Coconut body butter for $9 instead of $18

& the Holiday Cranberry Body Butter for $1! YES ONE FLIPPING DOLLAR!! lol That is the cheapest I think I have ever bought anything from there... There was a sale going on if you spent $35 you could get the cranberry body butter for a dollar and since I was buying a couple gifts there I spend $38 after the 40% off . I was pretty happy.

I am really quite in love with the coconut body butter, I love cranberry but I am not gonna lie I some how just smell alcohol or something with the cranberry one lol. It's okay but it just has something that links my mind to think of drinking! Damn I bought my mother the cranberry gift set =/ hopefully I am the only one who thinks that it smells a bit off!

Exotic ( I seriously swear it used to be called Exotica but some how the a has disappeared since my last bottle..does anyone know if I am crazy or what?)  This is my favorite burning oil ever! It's fruity and makes my house smell delicious! 

*MACADAMIA DEEP REPAIR MASK - this is my second lil pack and holy crap love it!!!

*MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS in Mint

*GIOVANNI  Natural Mousse Air-turbo Charged

*MONTAGNE JEUNESSE ICE CRYSTAL Exfoliating and Cleansing Facial

I saved the best for last....

I was very hesitant for a LONG time to purchase a styling wand(is that what you even call it??) but I finally did when I found it on sale at beautychoice.com for around $100. Yes that is expensive and not something I was overly happy to purchase but I believe it was around $160 so I thought what the heck.... and I LOVE IT!!!! I will do a review on this(unless no one is interested :,( lol ) and show you everything it comes with and why it's so cool...

I am actually really liking everything so far....what is the latest of random things you have purchased?

Winter is here and as much as I remember during summer wishing for the colder weather I am thinking maybe I was crazy?!? It is here and I am not loving it like I thought I would. We barely even had Fall this year so maybe that's why I am not too happy with Summer then straight to Winter =/

I know there is a lot of repeat products on my blog, I don't have high end things and maybe that is boring but I am not rich just yet so unfortunately it's kinda all the same =/

I have dry itchy skin in winter as well I find my hair is dryer then normal. It gets up to -45'C here and that is DAMN cold.So here are a few of my Winter Essentials I always have around my house...

DEEEEEEEP CONNNNDDIIITOOONNNER!!!! EVERYONE needs some of this! My Joico K-Pak is cruelty free so this is a good product to use! My hair is colored and prone to breaking and this is one of my favorites that I got at Winners for $20 and it will last at least a year.

I had just recently purchased this Lubriderm Advanced Moisture since I am kind of desperate for something that will help with winter dry skin and it was on sale for $4.99. I know it isn't cruelty free but I am kind of out of options with this, so please any suggestions would be appreciated!

 This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE body scrub & body cream EVER!!!! The only bad thing is Bubs Soap Sudz is made by a lady outside of my city that goes to events a couple times a year so it really isn't excessable through out the year =(
I REALLY wish you guys could smell this!!! The scent "Happi" is really fruity and amazing, I can't even begin to gush over this smell I seriously want to eat it!!!All of her products are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate free as well Paraben free.I told the lady who makes this she should make a perfume and I would buy it all!
I bought a couple of these this year so it will have to last for a while.
I think a good scrub is really important to keep skin feeling soft and I moisturizers will work better without dry scaly skin!
Must have GREAT Lip balms over the winter especially! I do not have dry lips but once in a while in the winter I have to use these even more then regular.

I have been using the Nivea Essential for years and have like 5 of them right now so they come in handy.

I also really like this Aquafina lip balm with jojoba oil,almond oil and vitamin e, keeps my lips soft and smooth =D

I have SO MANY pairs of mitts and toques for winter so these are for sure a MUST have in winter! =)

Ohhh I almost forgot, if you are lucky you need 2 tickets to take a warm winter vacation!! i haven't been that lucky yet but maybe sometime soon =D

These are my Winter Must haves, what are some of yours??

New to me products!

I have been on the hunt for a good facial serum that might help my skin look amazing...Does that even exist or are some people just born with nice skin? I am beginning to wonder!

I have read some reviews on a bunch of different ones, so I was kind of lost at what to look into. Since they are crazy expensive I don't want to blow a bunch of $$ on something that might totally suck. I was at one of my local drug stores and the lady working there raved about Lancome Visionnaire and told me I could have a sample of that as well as the Genifique. I of course feel guilty for trying these since they are not a cruelty free company, but it is EXTREMELY hard to cut them all out of your life... I mean there are a lot more then just beauty products being tested on animals. There is laundry soap to plastic bags to air fresheners to pet food to cleaners to dish washing detergent that test on animals, the list goes on and on.It is really upsetting and I really don't know how to cut everything out at once. So I am attempting the best I can with actually purchasing cruelty free products when I can but I do believe we need to attempt it with everything we use not just beauty products =/ . 

But I did decide I would try thees samples out, as well with a couple other things I had purchased.

 *LANCOME GENIFIQUE-Youth Activator

*LANCOME VISIONNAIRE0-Advanced Skin Corrector

*ST IVES NATURALLY CLEAR GREEN TEA CLEANSER- $4.99

*MAYBELLINE CHIC NATURALS- Tastefully Taupe-$3.99 (On sale)

*CLEAN&CLEAR MARK TREATMENT-$4.99 (With a coupon for $3 off)

*AQUAFINA LIP BALM-$1.25 for 2 (Dollarama!) So strange to me that Aquafina makes lip balm!But I actually really like it.

*LIP SMACKERS LIP FROSTING in Birthday-$1 (Also Dollarama) Okay this isn't new to me but I haven't had it for years! And for a dollar why not!

Does anyone know of a great facial serum??? I need help! =D
