Weekend finds
This tiny haul was the result of a quick stop at the mall last weekend. I missed my stores and it felt like home being in the mall again. It might sound silly but it helped my mood.
First stop was Claire's. You know I always check in when I'm around, and I did find gems this time.

NOTD: Joe Fresh Jade
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 02.20.12 at 7:55am.
This mani was supposed to be about Funky Fingers Under Mistletoe as it was the first bottle I pulled out of my melmer. But another bottle stole the show, love when that happens.

Vegan Polish by Soulstice Spa: Milan
Submitted by Beauty Obsessed on 02.17.12 at 8:01am.
Here’s a quickie post of a nail polish I picked up just before Christmas, for free from Nail Polish Canada when they were having a promotion. Soulstice Spa is a vegan nail polish line, and somehow reminds me of PritiNYC when I look at the bottle and the shades available (just from online shots –...

Products That May or May Not Do Anything
Submitted by Beauty Obsessed on 02.16.12 at 8:17am.
Awesome post title, I know. I tried to think of a witty one to use but came up blank – quick thinking is not my forte, sadly. Tomorrow I’m sure I’ll have a great idea :P
I have had a lot of beauty-related ideas swirling through my head this week (as always, I guess), which you’ll hear about so...

AN OVERFLOW OF ARTISTIC SENSIBILITIES
Submitted by The Newcomer on 02.15.12 at 8:05am.
By a complete stroke of luck, I realised the sweater I was wearing exactly matched a pair of earrings which I would never dreamt of wearing otherwise. The match, for some weird reason (the artistic sensibility mentioned above?) made me so happy that I feel compelled to share this image with you, ...

Busting Out the Spring Shades: OPI’s Dutch’Ya Love OPI? and A Roll in the Hague from the Holland Col
Submitted by Beauty Obsessed on 02.14.12 at 8:21am.
And a fantastic Monday to you all! If you’re the type who hates Mondays (like my Mom), well…it’s almost over ;)
Last week while I was working The Bay’s GWP, on my break I happened into Chatters salon and discovered that they had the new OPI Holland collection on sale – the very day it was slate...

Canadian Glossy Box
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 02.13.12 at 8:06am.
It has been a boring weekend with messy weather, I won't even get to that.
I am probably the last blogger to review the February Glossy Box. It has been a long wait to get the box since I was contacted near the end of last year, due to a shipping delay.

Korres in Canada
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 02.9.12 at 7:34am.
Korres is not new to any of us in the beauty world, but recently more Canadians have easier access to the brand when it arrived at (certain) Shoppers stores. I did randomly find some Korres products at Winners, but stock there has not been stable, as you all know.

Lush – Angels on Bare Skin
Submitted by Haute Halifax on 02.8.12 at 7:02am.
The initial reason for trying a product from Lush was because I was growing more and more frustrated with having to buy new plastic containers for my cleanser and throw away the old ones when I was finished. This product, and many others you can find at Lush, come packaging-free.

NOTD: Icing Magnetix Pink/ Burgundy Posted by Halifax
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 02.7.12 at 8:03am.
Yay, another magnetic shade turned out not too bad lol. Seriously guys, I love magnetic polishes but they get me nervous. It takes so much practice to bring the magnet close enough to your nails to create great prints without smudging the nail polish on the magnet at the same time.

FOTD: Marcelle BB Cream - Day 15
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 02.6.12 at 7:35am.
TODAY is the day Marcelle BB cream is available in stores for purchase, yay! I have swatches, and stay tuned for a little miracle and magic in this post.
I received the Medium to Dark shade last week, thought I should show them side by side, plus a FOTD, to see if you can spot the difference.

Weekend finds
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 02.2.12 at 7:57am.
Sad to report that this series might become rare on the blog after this post, until further notice. With the transit strike happening tomorrow, I am totally immobile. Trips to stores will be quick in and out, if any at all, until buses are back on the road. Hope you understand.

Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 01.31.12 at 7:31am.
I was sick like a dog this past weekend, coughing my heart out, couldn't sleep, then was a zombie the morning after. Not pretty, but at least my nails were hot.

Marcelle skin care sets
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 01.30.12 at 8:01am.
I was away for a month before Christmas, missed out on beautiful holiday releases. Spotted some Marcelle holiday skin care gift sets at Shoppers last week and I couldn't pass them up. Sets are always of better value than getting individual products by themselves, and are often on sale after the h...

It was a peaceful Friday when I came across tweets about Icing Magnetix nail polish and I was like sitting on hot coal itching to go "fetch" them into my stash. And I did, bought all 4 shades they released.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Submitted by Spring Peeper Farm blog on 01.19.12 at 8:07am.
I couldn't believe it! I just couldn't believe it!
I was so excited. I had set up my Etsy shop. I had two different kind of soaps to sell. I was stuck on how much shipping to charge. I looked and researched a lot of the other sellers of soaps. Most US sellers were charging around $3 shipping.

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo review
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 01.13.12 at 8:01am.
I don't know about you but this week has been a really long one for me. I felt like I didn't get much stuff done and time just dragged on. Winter blues, you would say.
These are the swatches of the Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows that a few of you wanted to see when I posted my Shoppers Redem...

NOTD: Quo by Orly True Love
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 01.10.12 at 8:38am.
I'm back with another Quo by Orly colour today. True Love is a hot pink leaning fuchsia, looks really cute on the nails when you want to go for a girly girl look with a bright twist. Naturally it brings the cheerful effect to your eyes on days you need some emotional boost, which I do lately.

This is a mani "from the vault" as I had it done when I was home with my parents. I was browsing some nail art ideas on the web and found this. Thought it was super cute, so I brought the pic to my nail girl.

Shoppers Redemption haul
Submitted by I Love Sparkles on 01.4.12 at 7:52am.
I'm back home past midnight on Sunday, exhausted. Spent all day yesterday recovering, unpacking and cleaning up. Not much excitement to report, other than this awesome Super Mega Redemption haul from Shoppers that a friend was so kind to do it for me while I was away.
