Mini Haul :)

So the other day I was down at the Toronto Beaches with a friend and I picked up a few things that I thought I would share :)
Before I start though, please don't mind the fact that I have an American flag pillow. I am in no way American and honestly it's a pet peeve of mine when Canadians (or anyone,really) walk around with shirts that say "New York" or "LA" (New york/LA are the best examples, I think) when they bought it downtown and have never even been there.  I bought that pillow on sale at UO (womp womp womp). It's reversible though, the other side is polka dots so.... don't judge me? I am my own worst critic though so... I need to relax basically. I should really get a canadian flag pillow or something to make up for this. sigh.

I picked up a few new Essie bottles to add to my collection (I have a problem). I finally found the apricot cuticle oil! I noticed that my cuticles have been getting super dry and cracking because of the amount of nail polish & nail polish remover i've been using recently. I have used it a few times already and I think it's helping. Be warned though, try to find one of these that you can smell before purchasing. It has a very strong perfume-y scent. I don't think it's something that would be everyone's cup of tea. Personally I usually can't stand things with super strong scent's but I can manage this one.

I also grabbed a new lacquer. In my last post I talked about wanting a lighter grey and I found one! It's called "Sand Tropez" and it's a creamy light grey. Here it is in comparison to Essie's "Master Plan".

("Master Plan" on left, "Sand Tropez" on right.)
I was worried that Sand Tropez might give me a corpse like look since I have such pale skin, but it actually looks really light and clean which I really like.

So I really dislike looking at pictures of feet, so sorry to anyone who is like me and cringing a little bit right now. Last year when I was on a road trip I managed to lose my black Birkenstocks and man I was so sad about that. They had FINALLY formed to the shape of my feet and were super comfortable.
I went into Walking On A Cloud and found a pair in my size. Because I wear the narrow Birks they only had one color in my size-- dark brown. I had my eye on an off white sand/buff color I had seen in another store. I think this worked out for the best. This color will go with anything I want to wear so that's definitely an upside.
The lady who sold them to me explained that these are the newer version that came out recently. It has another layer on top of the cork so that it's softer. I remember breaking in my first pair and it actually hurt so I am happy they figured out something for that. I can tell you that they are REALLY comfortable and I am so happy I have proper sandals now.
That's everything I bought while I was out. :)

Until next time,
