A few weeks ago, I showed you a napkin holder that I meant to use as a makeup palettes holder. Ariane from Style Sud-Est was asking to see how this would turn out, so here it is, along with my favourite palettes of the moment!


Granted, this not holds a lot as my palettes are on the bulky side. I think if I had the sleek MAC palettes it could hold more, but I don't have enough MAC product to justify a palette!



Right now I am loving the original UD Naked palette. Pretty much everyone loves it, as it has a good range of basic colours, ranging from beiges, browns, pinks to darker ones. The only thing I'm not fond of is the velvet packaging, that attracts dust.

Last year I talked about the PixGlow Fairy Face Palette*. from Pixi's Tinkerbell collection. Love the pinks and browns, and it suits my brunette look.

I found the NYX winter in Moscow palette in TK Maxx, got it for super cheap as it had been opened and is missing a blusher. This one is on the darker side, perfect for smokey looks.

Hello ladies! Yesterday I have promised a YouTube video on my thrift store haul. Well, it took more time than expected, but here it is! My first YouTube Haul!

In the video I also talked about a box that I bought but didn't have with me, so here is a picture!


I hope your weekend is going well! I have friends over for dinner tonight and there is a lot of snow falling down! It's finally looking like a typical Canadian winter now, but of course, we are all dreaming about Spring at this time of year!

Have you bought anything nice this weekend?

Cute gobelet found last weekend, rose gold bracelet bought on eBay from this seller

I have to say that I'm super excited for tomorrow and have been since Wednesday! The thing is that our local Charity shop is having a huge sale, being that you can fill a garbage bag (new and clean pheww!) with everything in store for only $5. The sale started last week but didn't have enough to fill a bag, so I opted for the 50% my three items.

But tomorrow I am going with my friend Nancy during our lunch hour. So if I don't have enough things, I'll pair with her to fill a bag. Even if it's not totally full, it should be worth it, for $2.50 each. Since I am working all day this Saturday, I will not be able to do the whole run of charity shops like last week :(

Anyway, to keep me in the mood for tomorrow, here are a few things I got from last week's hunt, along with a few drugstore clearance items! (The hunt being the 3 charity shops around the neigbouring parishes that are open on Saturday).

A copper-like tissue box

Holidays Tealight Holder

Leather and Suede jackets, Metallic scarf and wool cardigan

Napkin Holder, I will use it to hold my makeup pallettes!

Details of the napkin holder

Disco Pink, Andie's Rose Carmine and Satin Sheets

Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss and Coral Crush

I also went to the drugstore, and they had a lot of stuff on clearance. That's the advantage of a small drugstore; when the new season is coming, they have to clear out so they have space for the new collections!

I got 2 lippies, Maybelline Color Sensational in 810 Disco Pink ($0,99 instead of $9,59) and L'Oréal Colour Riche in 203 Andie's Carmine, again $0,99 instead of $9,99.

I finally jumped on the Baby Lips bandwagon. Wel,, at $2,99 for two, I couldn't pass it, as it was cheaper than one at regular price! I got Peach Kiss and Coral Crush (I think this one was a limited edition colour).

I also picked up a L'Oréal Nail Colour in 230 Satin Sheets for $0,69 (regular $6,99) as I have a few of these and like them.

With prices better than the Dollar Store, what's not to love?! I also went back the other day and picked up a mascara.

Have you picke up any good deals lately? Please share!

Oooooh! It's so cold outside these days! Yes, I'm Canadian, and no, I do not get used to it! Today was -40C at some point in our village (with the wind factor).

No when it's this cold you have to wear a sweater, but my work requires a certain amount of climbing ladders and moving stuff around and I usually don't like to wear big sweaters there. Well this week I HAD to!

Seeing that my first OOTD post proved to be popular, I got my mum on board to be my photographer. Now, trying to get my mum to take decent pictures is like asking a snail to race! So please excuse the quality of the pictures again, while I teach my mum not to give too much headroom, not move when pushing the button, etc!

My mum and I are back on the thrifting scene! One of our local thrift store was closed for the summer holidays and re-opened not too long ago. My mum and I really liked this place as we usually find good stuff and pretty much everything is $1. I usually buy a good 4-5 items each time I go and my mum 1-2, as, like she's always saying "Nothing suits me!".



I'm still on the hunt to replace my everyday bag, but I think this one is good for the weekend, to stroll and the market (well, if you live in the city that is). It's navy blue and has a lock. I was expecting that the key would be missing, but no, it was in there!


I wanted to give a spinning styling brush a try since watching Gemma's Salon Blow Dry Video a while back. But since I'm such a dummy when it comes to hairstyling, i never really bothered to buy one full price. When I saw this one in the store, I told myself: "For $1, now is the time to try it!" I did have to sanitize it and remove the previous owner's hair (yuck), but it's working just fine. Now I'll have to re-watch Gemma's video to  use it properly :)



I try to stay motivated to practise sports and a way that helps me is to have nice sports clothes, I'm over wearing the baggy things! Those are Danskin ones, and they're similar to the Active Essential Relaxed Pant on sale on their websitefor $36.



Oh, I love me a nice blazer! I hesitated to get this one because the sleeves are long and kinda big. But I folded them and they didn't look as big, and I really liked the metal buttons.


I always seem to have just one option in the casual jeans department. My mum tried these ones, but were too small for her. So I grabbed them! Thay also remind me of Breast Cancer Awareness month, with its light pink details.

While writing this post, I remembered that I also got a pair of pearl-coloured shoes. I forgot to take a picture, sorry!

Have you found any thrifty gems lately?

On Saturday, I was supposed to go see my boyfriend and his friends playing football, but since it was raining, the match was cancelled. We decided to go to the Portobello Market, because I remembered Click and makeup's post about her Portobello haul and wanted to check the stalls.

I didn't find that stall, but I did find some things...


I usually buy my thing either on a love at first sight basis, or after thinking about it for days, even weeks. These were all love at first sight ones, as well, second-hand stuff don't tend to be there next time you go! But I really like those taupe boots! They look normal on the picture, but on, they're really nice!

I also picked up this scarf. I wanted a scarf like that for a while, but as I was browsing, nothing really excited me. Until I got to this stall on Saturday and i saw this one, I was asking my boyfirned if he liked it and he said: "How are you going to wear that?" And then I replied: "I don't know how to tie it properly, but I saw this nice website the other day". I will have to do some research on how to wear it on the head, that is what I want to do, but as I said, I am kind of a silk scarf virgin. Since my boyfriend was buying a messenger bag, the guy sold me the scarf for £2 instead of £4. I think £4 was borderline of the price I would`ve paid for a scarf, but I really liked this one. But i was happy to have it 50% of the price!

I am a vintage junkie girl! I like to find unique pair of shoes or a nice purse. I hadn't had any luck lately until Saturday at Portobello. Bruxelles and Quebec City was good for that. London too!

Had any luck lately in the vintage corner?
