Backstage Pass

I love this OOTD! Especially the dress! I found this amazing "Backstage Pass" dress at Roxy about two weeks ago and fell in love with it! It has bow tie in the front with a small peep-a-boo hole for a little interest and flare. I paired with with a simple black cardigan from Club Monaco, BCBG generation sandals and a white leather Micheal Kors tote (not shown).
Check out your local Roxy if you like it! :)! Have a great day!

Chocolate chip oatmeal cranberry cookies!

I whipped these cookies up the other day for a work potluck. I'm a pretty horrible baker and I can pull these off! 


What you need: 
1/2 cup butter 
1/2 cup brown sugar (I would recommend 1/4 cup if you do not like your cookies too sweet)
1 egg 
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour 
1 cup oatmeal 
1 tsp baking soda 
1 cup dried cranberries/raisins
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup coconut (optional)

How to: 
1. In a medium bowl combine your flour and baking soda 
2. In a large bowl, cream your butter and brown sugar until fluffy 
3. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix together 
4. Slowly add your flour mixture into the large bowl 
5. Add oatmeal and mix 
6. Fold in chocolate chips, cranberries and coconut
7. Bake at 350 degrees Celsius for 8-10 minutes 
8. Enjoy!

Yellow Kitty


Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure "Yellow Kitty" is a pastel yellow with a cream finish. There is no glitter or shimmer and the color reminds me of butter or corn. I bought it at Superstore (Loblaws) for 6$. Not cheap for a drugstore nail polish but I love the color. It makes me happy and adds a pop of color into my boring neutral palette!
The formula is a tad streaky, I used 3 coats with no top coat in the picture. It starts to chip on the 4th day of wear without a top coat. 
Have you tried any colors from this line?

Deals of the day!

Muhaha! If you read my other posts, you probably know I love to find deals! 

Yesterday, I found this Mesh Panel Cardigan for $14.99!! Its a simple black summer cardigan that has a mesh at the shoulders so its a bit sexy :P!
Gap Mesh Panel Cardigan for $14.99, heres the link online, but for some odd reason online its $41.96 and not $14.99? So definitely check it out in stores if your interested. It also comes in purple.

The second great deal are my pony hair leopard flats from Banana Republic for $30! Originally on sale for $50 minus 40% off sale items!

They are to replace my old Steve Madden pony hair leopard flats which were at least $50 when I bought them a couple years ago!
I can't find them on the Banana Republic website, but you can check them out in stores! They are called "Sammie" flats!

Kose White Milky Wash

I got a sample of the Kose White Milky Wash. I have never used any products from Kose before so this was my first product from them. I got about 3 washes from the sample I received.





Where to buy: Sasa

Price: $6.50 for 20mls

What they claim:
"Kose Medicated SEKKISEI White Milky Wash is a rich and nourishing cleanser that produces rich and fine foam. It effectively removes aged cuticles and impurities causing dull skin. After cleansing, skin looks watery and translucent. What’s more, it allows better absorption of later skin care products for an optimal result. Mild, comfortable and light sensation is brought, even to sensitive and delicate skin. 


How to use it:
Pump 1-2 times to get a proper amount of White Milky Wash onto palm. Add drops of water and work into lather. Massage over face and then rinse off thoroughly. 


What it looks like: 
Its a milky white liquid in the consistency of a lotion




What I think:

Good things: 
1. It removes makeup pretty well. 
2. My skin feels quite moisturized after use

OK things: 
The scent was a little strong for me but I wouldn't consider it offensive 

Bad things: 
I only have one bad thing to say about this product, and it was probably my fault. I accidentally got this in my eye, and it stung like a BIT*H!!

Things I didn't see:
I didn't see any "translucent" skin after using it, but again I used it 3 times. 
 My skin didnt seem to absorb other skin care products better 

Overally, not a bad cleanser, but again Im basing that on my 3 usages. 

Anyone else tried this or anything from this brand?

Rimmel Lash Accelerator with Grow Lash Complex Review

I bought this mascara after hearing some YouTubers rave about the lengthening properties of it. It retails for about $7-10 at drugstores.




Heres what Rimmel claims:
Lashes appear up to 117% longer in 30 days
Lashes appear up to 80% long instantly


Advanced, ultra-lengthening formula for beautifully long, remarkably strong lashes
  • exclusive natural grow-lash complex with Procapil extends and fortifies lashes 
  • with continued use, lashes not only look longer, but also lusher and more numerous 
I have been using this mascara almost everyday for probably a month now and I don't see this "grow-lash complex" working as they didn't lengthen my lashes. However, the formula of the mascara is pretty good for lengthening and a little bit of volumizing. 


The brush is a very thin long brush with quite tough bristles, which kind of hurt if you accidentally poke your eye :( However, the small brush is very good to get the corner and bottom lashes. 

The formula is quite wet, but not clumpy. It also doesn't give your those spider lashes if you put on a ton of coats.

Overall: The effect is not bad, I get quite lengthy lashes without the spidery effect and a bit of volume with about 3-4 coats. 


Heres what it looks like on:
