Review & Swatch: Nyx Cream Blush in Boho Chic

I haven't been that active blogging lately. University has started and I'm trying to keep up with mounting projects and readings. For some reason I'm taking five course for my first semester ever and it's going okay! They're art courses so it's a little more relaxed. 

But anyway I had been lusting over Nyx Cream Blushes for a while, but I could never find them in Canada. That was until I decided to step inside a Pharmasave. They had a few makeup stands from the major lines but what caught my eye was the Nyx stand! They have one in London Drugs but they don't seem to carry their cream blushes. There is a downside to all of this though, and that would be that the prices are double. Not even joking. I had a bit of extra cash saved and decided "what the heck!". This blush retails in Canada for $11.99. (crazy, I know.) 

Pay Full Price? What, Never!

Hi! I recently scored a couple things during Labour Day sales this weekend and I'm really excited to share them with you! Urban Outfitters was having a great sale with an extra 30% off and Aritzia was having a warehouse sale in Downtown Vancouver. I only found one thing at Urban Outfitters and most things at the warehouse sale didn't catch my eye ($20 Toms were all sold out along with most things in my size) but I did find some amazing deals for back to school. 

I had never been to a warehouse sale before and I was expecting it to be a little wild. It was the last day of the sale and it was raining earlier in the day so there wasn't a line to get in or anything crazy like that. No pushing and shoving over a single pair of jeans. The change rooms were a free-for-all change where you can deal though, which was a little shocking but a girl's gotta change! 

Anyway on to the actual items! I got this Truly Madly Deeply v-neck top from Urban Outfitters. It's a lovely purple grey with wolves and bears on it. It's super soft, too! This was on sale for $9.99 and with an extra %30 off. 

At the Aritzia warehouse sale I got a pair of Wilfred Free pants. They're a type of ochre corduroy pant with extra pockets on the sides, and they're sturdy too which I really appreciate. I bought them for $19.99 from $125.00. 

Next I got a pair of light olive tights. They're quite thin but I really like everything about them! They were being sold for $9.99 from $55. 

Yay dresses! I got this Wilfred brown patterned heavy bodycon dress for $19.99 from $65. I thought it might be too big for me but I was surprised to find it fits quite nicely. The only little problem I have with this dress is that it has shoulder pads which is nothing because I can easily cut them out without ruining the dress. 

Last but not least is this pair of Ace & Jig linen/cotton blue striped pants. I was so happy to find these because they are beautiful and hippie and... did I say beautiful? They are lightweight and comfy with a drawstring to hold them up. These were the best deal, $9.99 from $185! Holy Jesus! I have a soft spot for hippie pants, especially at this great of a deal. 

And that's it! I'm really happy with everything that I got over the last couple days and I hope you all find some great deals before heading back to school. I think the pants are rubbing off on me, all I want to do is lounge around and listen to some Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, or Cream. The 60's are coming!
