ZARA Office City Bag

First time ordering from Zara online store and the overall experience was awesome. I placed my order on Monday night and it arrived Thursday morning.  The bag came in a huge Zara box! Inside was a layer of tissue paper protecting the bag.  The display of everything was very neat and simple.  OK now on to the exciting part .. THE OFFICE CITY BAG!








+ 5 separate compartments (3 zipper, 2 magnetic closure)
+ middle padded laptop compartment **site said fits 17" laptop BUT it doesn't! Max laptop size 15.6"**
+ padded ipad compartment
+ crossbody adjustable removable strap
+ simple and chic design
- zipper quality could be better

= Overall, amazing handbag! It can fit a bunch of stuff making it's perfect for university/college and work.

March Favourites

Monthly Faves + quicky reviews
(its a bit early hope you guys don't mind ^^)


Buxom Lash mascara $24.00 CAD
+ it volumizes WITHOUT giving you the spider lash effect! (why would anyone want the look of bugs on their eye...#dontunderstand)
+ ZERO CLUMPING
+ the curvy hourglass-shaped brush makes it easy to coat all your lashes, even those in the inner and outer corners 
- BUT doesn't give much length 

I've heard great things about this mascara for years now but always hesitant to buy it because of the price (definitely a high-end mascara) and the fact that it's a plastic comb wand.  I usually prefer the normal bristle wands.  I got this as part of one those Sephora Must Have box set that comes out around Christmas time.  I got it after Christmas was it was actually discounted =P  Needless to say this mascara lives up to the hype!  But is it worth the price?  Being the bargain hunter that I am, I will find a drugstore dupe for this.



Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me $3.99-$4.99 CAD
+ moisturizing & amazing colour payoff!
+ great price (even better if you can catch it on sale, $2.50-$2.99)
+ SPF 20

Everyone needs to try this product, there's no excuse not to!  I have Cherry Me which is a beautiful red and Pink Punch a pretty baby pink.  Cherry Me is my favourite for the winter time because it doesn't emphasize the dryness on your lips when you first apply.  It is definitely moisturizing, I live in Canada and this winter has been crazzzzyyy!!! This product saved my lips.  Oh and there's SPF 20! bonus!



Missha Super Aqua Perfect Cleansing Tissue $4.99 CAD
+ removes makeup without drying out your skin
+ actually adds moisture to your skin
+ double seal packaging prevents product from drying out

My new favourite cleansing wipe.  Trust me when I tell you I've tried my fair share of makeup wipes.  This product moisturizing but still leaves your skin feeling clean!  I use it to carefully remove my eye makeup and it doesn't irritate or stink my eyes.  The Missha Super Aqua Cleansing Tissue contains 40 wipes, which is more then the typically North American brand wipes that contain only 25-30.  The price is good as well.  I bought mine at Galleria, a Korean Supermarket chain in Toronto.  You can also find them at any Asian beauty store that sells Missha products or you can buy them online.


Wantworthy.com

Discovered this site thanks to xclosetoreal on youtube.  If you love shopping, especially online shopping you will loveee this site.  It's basically a online wishlist *.*  When your on your favourite site and you see something you like but for some reason you can't buy it yet? (maybe because pay day is still too far away or you promised yourself to go on a no-buy period)  Well, you can add it to your wantworthy list and come back to it later!  It great for organizing all wants and need from different sites all in one place.  You can share your list with friends and see what each other are wishing for at moment <3  I am currently using my wantworthy list to track all potential graduation dresses!  Being an organized shopaholic is the way to go =]
