Review: Laura Mercier

Hi Guys,

oh my goodness I haven't blogged for a whole month! >.< I am ashamed to admit it! Stupid tests had been keeping on my toes, but FINALLY it seems the amount of tests are slowing down....

so I decided to share with you guys this new product I recently recieved:

Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish:

Okay so for those that do not know what a face polish is... it's basically a face skin care product that has tiny little sugar like minerals mixed with a facial cleansing base. I didn't personally buy this so i have no idea what the actual price is... from what i heard it's around 30 dollars? Anyways, I am absolutely loving this product at the moment because it smells like PEACHES! I've tried other similar products but none smelt as delicious as this one. Even better yet it removes some black heads and removes old dead skin cell.

This would not be one of those scrubs you'll have to use everyday to see a difference. I personally found that there is already a difference if it's used twice a week. And per every use, you'll probably only need a pea size amount to get the job done.

Rating: FIVE STARS


Well looks like thats all i have to say, I gotta run see you guys next post!

Love Josie

Happy Thanksgiving! ++

Hey dolls,

I just want to wish all my readers a very Happy Thanksgiving with tons of turkey! Sadly, I will not be making turkey this year because not enough people will show up for dinner tonight to gobble up a gigantic turkey.

I mean, does that NOT look like the most delcious thing EVER? Eh, well it's the holiday to be thankful and I am thankful to have dinner despite being turkey less (:

Anyways, besides the nice long weekend with thanksgiving, I wanted to bring up this lovely article I read about mothers producing breast milk to create BABY SOAP. Honestly... does it actually give baby better skin like the article argues because there are no chemicals in it. Recipe could be found on www.traditionalmidwife.com apperently... But seriously... what is your take on this? O.O

Well until next time! I have to finish up my work and start helping out with dinner soon~

Bye, Josie

Food and Myths?

Hey beauty queens~

So I've decided to try out something new. Instead of posting a MILLION topics in one post I think I am going to cover one topic per post. That way my posts will SEEM more organized. (But mostly, it is because one post usually took me forever to post if there is more than one topic.)

Well.... lets explore our foods shall we?

What are some foods that give you more energy and are healthy?

1. Free Range Eggs
Eggs have tons of protein which will provide muscle strength and stamina. It will also fill your appetite. But remember it should be FREE RANGE eggs NOT caged.

2. Dark Chocolate
Chocolate is a natural heart healthy antioxidant. Most chocolate will give you an energy boost, but chocolate that is 80 percent cocoa solids or more will be extremely good for the heart! (besides I LOVE DARK CHOCOLATE~ I find it to be a great alternative instead of having coffee.)

3. Coconut Oil
Doctors claim this oil to be wonderfully healthy even as a type of fat but also it promotes lovely weight loss! There is fewer calories in Coconut oil and thus the fat is easier to convert to energy creating it to be a great energy booster!


I want better skin, what are some foods that will help me?

1. Salmon
I personally love salmon thus the reason why I chose Salmon as an example, but generally any deep cold water fish will provide you with tons of protein that will benefit not only your skin but your hair also. Salmon has powerful anti inflammatory benefits thus your skin will avoid as much as acne as possible and also it will keep the skin supple and wrinkle free, moods upbeat, and your brain functioning at optimal levels.

2.Watercress
It is a blood purifier to clear toxins. I do not like how it tastes much but it is super useful in terms of clearing your skin from acne, preventing future ERUPTIONS or rashes... or even other skin infections!

3.Cinnamon
Cinnamon like salmon also has an anti inflammatory function. Unlike salmon, it also function as a strong antioxidant. While "nomnoming" on Cinnamon, you'll notice that it has a very strong aroma which apparently boosts cognitive processing in our brain which improves things such as memory and attention span. ( I LOVE CINNAMON, THUS MORE THE REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE MORE!) Cinnamon also have to property to lower blood sugar thus won't make us as susceptible to obesity, diabetes, and wrinkles.

4. Green Tea
Green tea leaves contains antioxidant polyphenols which eliminate inflammation producing radicals! Polyphenols actually protects healthy cells from bad cancer causing DNA. Green teal could even potentially benefit skin diseases, because green tea can reactivate dying skin cells! I personally would recommend to get caffeine free green tea though because its more healthy.

FOOD MYTHS?

Do Chocolate and Sugar seriously cause breakouts?


Answer? It is a myth. There is certainly correlation between having too much sugar and then getting a complete breakout a week later. But sugar is not proven to be the caused of such breakouts. Some dermatologists do claim it may be the cause for some individuals because sugar "increase the overall levels of inflammation in the body" meaning acne will appear because of clogged pores, excessive oil and perhaps cysts. If you want to stick to the safe side, I would recommend everyone to stick to having wonderful dark chocolate~

Does Alcohol Give You BAD Skin?

Answer?This is NO myth. Alcohol does indeed give you : Puffy eyes, sallow looking skin, and even a blotchy complexion. If you drink a lot, as soon as the very next morning you may expect to see very dark dark circles around your eyes,  crepe y skin and even fine lines may appear. You may ask why? That is because alcohol is a toxin to our body.... more specifically our liver. Booze will mess with our liver enzymes and in bigger doses will dehydrate our skin as well as reduce collagen production.  


If you happen to drink a lot, you may eventually find your skin to be flushing with broken blood vessels, and even increasing deep wrinkles, also super big pores. I would avoid drinking if I were anyone, but if the temptation is too big, then by diluting the ethanol with water and eating fibrous foods and multivitamin pills is greatly recommended. 

Er.... Well looks like this is all i have to share for today. It's currently 2 AM and I am dead tired. I'll talk to you guys next post about SLEEP~

Till next time,
Josie

Vitamin guide. ++ DIRTY DIRTY BOTTLES

Hello dolls,

I've decided add to my beauty lingo page later this week perhaps making it a beginner to make up page because lately I've become aware of how many girls out there who wants to start with makeup that needs a little guidance. If there are any suggestions of what to add feel free to comment (:


                                        

Like my last post promised, I shall talk about vitamins today! I know some of us don't take any at all while some of us eat those pills like there is no tomorrow. (x I personally have some vitamins because they do help.... how you may ask? Well.... shall we see? (:

Vitamin A

I am sure many of us has heard the goodness of Vitamin A of how it is an actual amazing treatment to acne, as a pill. While when Vitamin A is present in cream it will brighten up the skin, reduce pigments, and restore skin back to normal growth pattern. It will even IMPROVE and PREVENT wrinkles. Although everyone should be careful because one shouldn't have more than 1.5 mg of the vitamin A per day or else it's toxic to the body! ( Then it'll seriously be NO TOMORROW for you! ) 

A product infused with Vitamin A I LOVE is:

Vitamin C

The good old Vitamin C that is present in many fruits help prevent and fight colds as well as keep us in good health. In tropical products with vitamin C will reduce pigments and fine wrinkles. The vitamin also helps protect against some UV rays along with reducing scars  Unlike Vitamin A, you can overdose on Vitamin C because the excess will be.... extracted..... into the toilet bowl... I hope xD

I do not buy actual Vitamin C serum but from time to time I do make my own from this recipe I got from a friend.... and I shall share it with everyone!

[I didn't have the time to actual make it so.... lets just pretend there is a nice picture of it even though there isn't]

D.I.Y. Recipe Vitamin C Serum

• 
  
  Materials:
  Empty lip balm container or a small dark colored bottle
• 1 teaspoon L-asorbic acid (vitamin C) or camu camu powder - Purchase at any health food store
• 1 teaspoon of distilled water
• 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerine - Purchase at any health food store

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix the L-asorbic acid or camu camu powder and water with a spoon. Beat and crush the powder with the back of the spoon to completely dissolve the crystals. Stir in the distilled water and vegetable glycerine. Pour your serum into an empty container and voilà, homemade serum! Store the container in a cool and dry place. Apply a thin layer of the serum to your face at night. If you like the results, bump it up to two times a day.

TIPS! If your serum starts to turn yellow it means it's oxidizing and the Vitamin C effects are diminishing. You should throw it away and make yourself a new batch! To use your materials and save your money i would recommend to never make more that one weeks worth of serum or else it will go bad. And of course everyone has slightly different skin, this serum may work for me but it may not work for everyone. TEST IT OUT ON A LITTLE SKIN FIRST!

Vitamin D

It is believed that Vitamin D may prevent cancer.. but vitamin D most defiantly helps our immune system. Doctors recommends us to take 1000 mg per day for healthy bones! 

Tip: The sun does give Vitamin D but don't forget the sun also gives off UVB and UVA rays that are super harmful to your skin! So don't forget your sunscreen!

Biotin

For those who do not know what Biotin is: It is basically a B- complex vitamin which promotes cell growth and has metabolism of fats and amino acids. Biotin along with a good healthy diet will give us beautiful skin, strong nails and luscious hair. Oh, and good news! You can overdose on Biotin as well because it is just like Vitamin C ( It'll find a way out of your body) 

An older friend of mine who suffers from hair loss takes this Biotin pill: ( Just thought i would share xD)

_______________________

                                             

Just the other day, I was reading the newspaper (Its a miracle I actual picked up one because I just always read my news online) and there was an article about students in Surrey who are severely sick because THEY DRANK FROM EACH OTHERS BOTTLE! O.O 

                                      

Like seriously, one of these baby ^ contains amazingly A LOT of SCARY bacteria. I, myself, am honestly amazed because I often share drinks with friends ( you know,.... to be more "environmental" friendly when really you are just too lazy to get your own ;D) 

From this shock I did a little research over the weekend and I FOUND OUT MORE SURPRISING NEWS!

Did you know that those lovely cavities that dentists hates so much are CONTAGIOUS?! 

You see these pearly whites? WELL, they can become filled with cavity bacteria from just sharing a drink or a kiss. YUCK! or even worse, gum diseases are also contagious ( when to those without teeth, such as babies!)

So to finalize my research I've decided that I will not ever share my drinks and NO SMOOCHING for the greater health of myself and others. 

                                            

On my next post:

• A food edition post
• Tips for how to become sleeping beauty ( or just tips how to sleep well)
• general tips on makeup health
• AND REVIEWS ( I haven't had the time to come around to actual post one in a LONG TIME!)

Until next time! (:

With Love, Josie

Lost: Sumi doll; Eyeliner brush guide; sales and more.

My little brother has lost his Olympic doll, Sumi and he is so upset about it that he is now in bed crying about it. His doll wasn't even very new, Sumi was missing his hat and had has many accidents with the puddles, yet my brother's love for him is unbelievable. Sigh, I hope I can find Sumi for me! >.<

In case those who do not know how Sumi looks like: 

( He is the green one labeled SUMI ;D)

Josie's Eyeliner Brush Guide

So, I've decided to create an eyeliner brush guide for everyone because I believe it's super important to know what kind of brush will allow you what kind of looks. Also I extremely LOVE cream liner, thus knowing the important of the liner brush functions are a basic one must MASTER!

Anyways, here we go!

1.Tight liner//Flat Liner Brush:

A flat liner brush will allow smooth and even distribution of the cream liner or gel liner. The tight lining look allows more definition to your eyes without making an obvious drawn on line! Although I would recommend to check the firmness of the brush before using because if the brush is not firm it will not make a smooth and even line. 

++TIP++ do not use liquid or wet liners because tight lining will allow some of the liquid get into your eye and it may irritate it!

My favourite flat liner brush: Laura Mericer Flat Eye Liner Brush

2.Fine Flick of an Eye//Angled Brush

Okay, many people get the angled brush missed up with the ANGLE brush, so to clear things up the angled brush is ANGLED at about an 45 degree bent at the metal part as shown in the picture above. I would say this is my most frequent used brush because it allows one to create super thins lines that could be built up upon as well it enables the user to draw a cute little flick at the end of the eye. It is super easy to use, and I honestly think this is a great brush to start out with because it puts YOU in CONTROL of the fluidity AND movement! Due to the thin brush size it could be used with cream, gel or even liquid formulas.

My favourite bent angled brush: Sephora Pro Angled Eye Liner Brush #23

3.Statement Cat Eye// Angle Brush:

Whats a better way to make a make up statement than the famous CAT EYE look? The Angle brush is the official brush for that look. The cat eye is dramatic yet classy, and not to mention super easy to draw in with the angle brush. The sharp angle on the brush creates a sharp and clean line that is perfect for look. 

I use all sorts of angle brushes from the Sephora collection to Eco tools and I even tried Kirland. I find them fairly equal and provides nice cat eye looks. Although some of my friends say that the Mac 263 small angle brush works miracles. I have yet to try it out. 

Example of the looks:

~~~SALES TIME! ~~~

Okay side note: Haha this is not really a sale BUT today I saw this totally cute and fabulous white leather jacket at Sirens with hood and everything for only $29.00. It has a tomboy yet girly look to it. I think it looks fantastic (: Sadly I personally didn't buy it because i already have a white leather jacket.

Anyways, off to my favourite store: 

I just went today to Sephora to pick up a cute make up bag or something and to my surprised THEY HAVE A SALE ON TOKIDOKI makeup bags. They are super cute, if you haven't seen them. AND you could get three of them for only $25 dollars. I personally only bought one for $17. 

                                                      

                                                     

Well... I am going to leave it at that today. I haven't seen huge sales much lately because of school I'll hope to update more sales next post! And perhaps talk a little about Vitamins as well.

Until next time!

North Face SALE!

Hello everyone! Haven't been here in so long >.<" Sorry, I've been just amazingly busy! There has been so much work i needed to do in school.

 I just wanted to do a quick shout out about the NORTH FACE SAMPLE sale this weekend, on Saturday September 24th from 9 am to 5 pm and on Sunday September 25th from 11am -4pm.
It will be at the Armanian church located at 13780 Westminster Hwy, Richmond.

I heard that there would be jackets , shoes, tents and more there!

Well thats all for today.

See y'all!
Josie.

Quick back to school fashion sale update

So... hello guys (: 

I've realized that I probably should have posted this post earlier because it's already FRIDAY and THREE more days before school starts for some of you guys. 

And just like my scatterbrain self I completely blanked out on actually writing a sales list on clothing!! So this particular post is going to be on sales that you could still make despite how close we are to school!!

Into the STATES we go~

For those of us who are still not aware that the "Premium outlets" in the states all have a labour day sale. They offer disgustingly nice sales for a wide variety of clothes. 

I am not exactly sure if Converse outlet store is still offering this sale because I personally have not gone down to the Seattle Premium outlet yet, but most years they have buy two shoes for $19.99 sale.    

There is a Crabtree and Everlyn across from CK at the Seattle Premium Outlet location and if anyone is looking for a little moisturizing for their skin throughout the school year, I highly recommend their hydrating cream with vitamin E and A (from their La Source collection) I vaguely remember when i got it on sale it was about somewhere $12-20 USD

Meanwhile in Vancouver Canada....

Oh busy busy me...

I haven't been out much looking around the malls and boutique lately due to work. (Hah even though I am actually slacking my ass off at work right now.... okay, no. I should say I am multitasking: blogging and working) Also because my lovely erm... cousins?  Mother's brother's wife's brother's family  moved out of my place since they found their own, I've been busy doing all the paperwork and address changing.

But here's what I've got: ( from the buzz in the air... or so I've heard.)

Sirens as usual has their Jean sale. Perfect for those who like to buy a decent pair of jeans for less bling. They also have their sale racks marked with $10.

Nine West  is having a 50% off sale on all of their older styles of shoes. Hey, they maybe older styles but a lot of them are still stunningly nice! I am not sure if it applies to hand bags as well.

I've spotted a particular sale at Footlocker on some sneakers... I am not 100% sure if they still have it... hopefully they do?  

So lately between work and among other demanding obligations, I've been an internet window shopaholic (  where i stare at an ipad or computer screen looking at pretty clothing for a very very very long time.... i know so bad for my eyes.) And I came across a few of my favorite fashion items: Blazers and scarfs!


I just wanted to tip those that want to buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes this year. If you are short of money but want have a new look, I suggest to spend your money on some cute scarfs. Just having one simple scarf can change your entire look! Its cheaper than buying more clothes and a scarf can be used in may ways.

For example:

or you can even accessorize your bag or hair with a scarf! ( You can even use it as a belt) 

Isn't the bow just adorable? and now for the head band scarf:

And Bag accessory? 

Have I ever mentioned how much I love blazers? I love how just throwing a blazer over a dress can make it so much classier! Heck if you throw on a blazer on any thing it almost instantly make you look so much more classy and elegant

I am still in the process of looking for a white blazer... any suggestions where?

but to prove my point on how classy blazers look: 

Okay so onto my next post! ON SKIN CARE!

See you next post (: Josie~

Lies, Playland, and new products + more

Ahem... I realize that I don't keep my promises very well on my blog. Haha. So.... I am sorry but I actually don't have model pictures today. I want to tell everyone that I will have them tomorrow.... but I don't want to lie again. Thus they shall go up when I have time to take them!

Besides that I went to the Fair at Playland yesterday! It was raining mackerels and buckets, but neverless I had tons of fun. The new ride, the Atmosphere was not scary at all, but rather it gave a beautiful view to Van City especially at night.  And one fact I love to point out is that if its raining as much as it was when I went (y'know with big fat raindrops that when in contact with your umbrella would make a PLOP PLOP sound?) then it's so easy to get on to rides the lines are SUPER short!

Anyways, I want to go back onto talking about the Atmosphere at Playland. I don't know how many of you have gone on and especially on at night....but did y'know that your BUTT lights up when the skies turn navy? (Okay, not to scare those who don't enjoy a possible fire on their ass... your butt don't actually catch on fire or anything... of course unless you ate a super spicy burrito, but otherwise there are lights on the bottom of the seat on the Atmosphere) I would say people who are slightly scared of heights can still go on and be fine because when you are on the ride you don't actually look straight down but rather it's just the beautiful view.

The popular show at the Fair that I would have to go at least once a year to see is SUPERDOGS. Those doggies are just so adorable. I've become rather attached to them. Quite literally the super fluffy ones to the super skinny ones. I guess this show makes up for the whole lonely year I have to live with out a pup. T^T. Haha even though I want a cute pup, I would be a horrible owner.... I am so lazy!

So this year there is a new show at the Fair. Peking Acrobats are in town, baby! I was super excited for this particular show at first because for one thing I LOVE NAKED MEN WHO ARE BUFF.... and on top of that they can do acrobatics? Damn. Ahem... haha but besides that I love acrobatics in general. But sadly the particular acrobatic show at the Fair didn't satisfy me or at least didn't live up to my expectation. There were naked men or I should say topless men (with a full on oil rub, if I may add on) But their act wasn't flawless unlike some other acrobatic crews. Then again I do understand the stuff they do IS SUPER AMAZING AND DIFFICULT. They are able to flawless make up for the wrongs though. But honestly I personally though it could have been better. 

Forewarning: The following content will contain some personal opinions on flying men. Your discretion is advised.

Any case the motorbike show at the fair was INTENSE. Bikes flew. Dirt scattered. And fire flamed..... AND THE BIKERS WERE SO BAD BOY! Goodness when those bikers were in the air, I swear my heart was in my throat. They let go of the bike entirely at times and it was so stunning. I just have to say that men with bikes that fly are smoking sexy. Flying women on the other hand is also totally hot, but damn men WITH BIKES AND CONFIDENCE AND FLY (then fall) is MmMMMmmmm delicious. ;D

 
So since yesterday skies were weeping, I took extra care of how I did my make up so it won't make me look like raccoon or perhaps some other mix breed of raccoon and panda in the rain. 

Some products I used were: 

• Stila stay all day waterproof liquid liner. 
• Lancome VIRTUÔSE BLACK CARAT Divine Lasting Curves - Length & Volume Mascara  
• Urban Decay Naked Palette and Primer.  

There were obviously some other products that I used, but at the moment these are the ones that I love and worked for the best. 

 I also recently got some new products that I've finally tried out long enough to give reviews for:


1. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. $22 CAD

   I didn't technically get this particular one in the picture. I got a smaller version of it for only $22 CAD to try out. (I got it at Sephora) Many people does have very good reviews on this tinted moisturizer and I would agree on the good coverage everyone seem to claim it gives. One particular fact I like about this moisturizer is that it is tinted and has SPF. It is similar to BB cream, so for those who already has BB cream that they love to death, asks me if they should spend $47 dollars on the full bottle or tube of Laura Mercier I would tell them no. Just stick with their BB cream. A difference between BB cream and this tinted moisturizer is that it doesn't not oxidize, (or not enough for me to notice). Like the BB cream it does give nice and light feeling coverage. 

Josie's Overall Rating: ****   


2.Stila Stay All Day Long Waterproof Liquid Liner. $26 CAD

Did I mention this was waterproof? I know the name of this product already tells you, but it is WATERPROOF. It can rain dogs and cats and mackerels and buckets and boots and heels, but you'll still have those fine fine eyes with the elegant and clean lining of this liner. See... this is the thing.... I love liquid liners because they don't smudge generally after they dry. And on top of that it's WATERPROOF? Well, you can go on a mission impossible and still look flawless. A definite to die for in the Stila liquid liner other than it's super waterproof- ness is the thin yet easy to control tip of the brush. Even for those people who have shaky hands will find it easy to apply! 


Josie's Overall Rating: *****

3.Benefit's Finding Mr. Bright $40

  I love the title of this product. It's cute in terms of how it really does describes the four products. These products does lighten up your face very well. I haven't tried the Posie tint because I gave it to my mom since I was going to get her a tint anyways and well I let her try the Posie tint first before I give her perhaps the Benetint.The Highbeam I would have to say works excellent as a high lighter on your nose and cheek bones. It has a slight pearly shine to it that also brighten the face. It is not a powder substance so you will not get a powdery look if you happen to apply too much. Erase Paste is actually a very creamy concealer. It goes on very easily and it does it's job in covering blemishes. After a weeks use, it has become my favourite concealer for blemishes and dark circles because of it's quick and easy application. For those who don't use concealer because sometimes it makes you feel like your make up is too heavy,  the erase paste will not give you that feeling. Girl meets Pearl is a pink golden pearl liquid highlighter. Although the Highbeam is already very nice highlighter itself, if you are looking for something that looks softer and perhaps closer to a tanned colour then I would suggest the Girl meets Pearl product. I personally like the Highbeam better because of it's easy application. The Girl meets Pearl does have a very nice golden pink hue to it though. 

As for an overall review on all these four products I have to say the pricing is a little expensive for such small portions. It's nice how there is such variety and the small amount has it's benefits in terms of carrying it in your purse. (Great size for travelling) I would prefer if they gave me more of the Highbeam in replace of the Girl meets pearl because I found the Highbeam more useful.  If I were to only buy the three out of four products in this kit I believe that its more worth it if you are planning to use it daily, to just buy them separately in bigger sizes. It will save you the gas money AND time overall.

Josie's Overall Rating: ***    

4. Kat Von D Truth Eyeshadow $15CAD

The original price of this palette is $34 CAD but due to the change of packaging Sephora is selling the old packaged goods for only $15CAD! 


This palette comes with very vibrant and pigmented colours. It stays on your lids every nicely even without primer. Although it does show up more vibrant with primer. The lightest colour which is a light green is a very nice highlighter for the brow bone and inner eye corner. Out of the eight colours, one of them is a cream shadow. A very nice feature of the Kat Von D Palettes is that all the colours blend and match very nicely, and if you are having a lazy day then you don't even have to think of what colors to match your eyeshadows.  


Josie's Overall Rating: ***(+*) This gets a plus star because of the cheap pricing and of how nicely it blends.

 SALE TIME!

I realize that summer is almost over and school or work or what ever people may have will start again. Thus I spent a little bit of my time to look and find deals for back to school and or back to work. 

Most people would not believe me if I told them I actually really love going to Sears. Haha. Especially if  I told everyone that there is a very nice CONAIR hair straightener there for sale for $19.99 CAD and not only that it comes in very cute prints such as leopard or zebra. 

There are also collage picture frames for 25% off! As well as other wall decors such as metal chrome flowers for your walls ( it's super girly and cute) for around $10 CAD.

Looking for a new agenda? Well, Chapters or Indigo is having a 20% off their agendas before the 28th of August. ( This means you can get that moleskin agenda you've always wanted! .... or not.) 

Chapters is also offering 50% on their super amazing chess bookends. That means no more school books or work documents falling off your open shelves!

Oh no! Broken mouse before school starts? Well, you can get a super cute ladybug mouse at Chapters for also 50% off at around $15.00 CAD.

Looks like our home for school and office supplies, Staples is having their back to school less than a loonie sale again. I personally have not checked it out yet but I will soon.

 For those who are looking into getting a small portable netbook to go the classes (y'know to look that more sophisticated and efficient) Future shop is offering Acer netbooks for around $230.00 CAD as well as there are Compaq laptops for a little over $300.00 CAD. 

Although if you are wanting to spend more on a laptop so you can get a cuter and more efficient laptop, I would most likely go with HP 15.6" Intel Core i3-370M in Sweet Purple. I LOVE PURPLE!

Since school is starting soon, some of us may want to capture every moment and Future has a great deal on a pink Sony cyber shot for around $150.00 CAD. Or there is a sleek black one for even cheaper. (Now capturing those memorable moments would be so much cheaper!)

I will continue my back to school sale information on a later post because this particular post is already so long! But don't worry, there would be back to school clothes, shoes, make up sales PLUS MORE! 

Love Josie.
