Haul+Shopping Trip

I went shopping yesterday and I took advantage of the Ojon event at Sephora.  You trade in an empty bottle of shampoo or conditioner (any brand) and you get two FULL-SIZE bottles of Ojon Restorative Shampoo and Ojon Restorative Conditioner.  woohoo.  I also bought the Clinique bottom lash mascara.  I want to see if it works on my barely there lower lashes (review and pics to follow).

I also went to Bath and Body Works.  I am in the 'I LUV BBW' Club so in a Thursday of every month, you go to a BBW and you get free gifts.  This time I received a mini scented candle and a PocketBac.  I also had a coupon for a free signature item when you purchase $10 or more.  I went to Forever 21 and just purchased a pair of bracelets for graduation.  I love the clothes and accessories at F21 but it just seems a bit too trendy for me.  I feel that once the season is over, you'll find most of these items on the sale rack.  And the clothes are getting pricier.

I also went to H&M and got two jersey dresses (no pics).  I find that H&M is also trendy but it carries more classic pieces than F21.  I like H&M for the clothes and I like F21 for the accessories.

I also went to Hollister to return a dress.  I went to the one on Soho, the gray building on the corner of the street.  I hated it!!!!!!  Inside was so dark!  How can one be able to walk and see?  And inside is a maze!  I actually had to ask someone where the cashier is.  It turns out it's on the 2nd floor.  -_-"  And the stairs are a hazard.  Since it's so dark you can't see where each landing is and the stripes on the steps only made it worse.  And the music is so loud.  I couldn't hear the cashier when she was asking for my information.  And talking about the sales associates, they are rude.  They practically shoved the mailing list at me to fill it out.  The place is very unprofessional but I think it's aimed towards teens.  I'm not a teenager anymore so maybe that's why I have this kind of rant against that place.

I also got new glasses =)  My old one was from 3 years ago and it is broken.  My insurance covered the glasses and frames but I chose to get anti-glare ones so it costs $40 (I had a discount so the original price was $55).  I paid just $40 for my glasses so hurray for connections.

Haul

This past Sunday, my family and I went to Jersey Gardens.  I love that mall (they have Philadelphia Great Steak there and I usually get the King Potato).  Sometimes it's hard to find good deals so it's better to go at the end of a season when clothes from that season are on clearance.  Here's what I got:
HOLLISTER 
Flowery ruffle tunic $9.90
Gray lacy tank $6.90
Burgundy lacy racerback $6.90
I am going to return the flowery tunic.  I got it in XS and I am in the XS/S range but this is SOOO tight on me.  And the can someone please donate some lights to that store??!?!  It was so dim there that it was so hard to shop in there.  

GAP
Metallic burnout shirt $8.99
Shoes $11
I love the cut of the shirt.  It has slits on the arms so it looks sleeveless when worn with flaps of fabric hanging on the side.  And the metallic is very subtle, more like a sheen.

AERIE
Magenta pocket tee $11.95
Soooooooooo soft!!!!!

TOMMY HILFIGER
Polka dot scarf $12
Pink cardigan $15 + additional 30% off = $10.50
I love the scarf.  It's so preppy and soft.  And the cardigan is a steal. I found it on the sale rack.

And my Target package came.  I took advantage of the daily deal that Target had on the Pixi Beauty Make Up Collection.  Original price was $30 but I paid $15 plus free shipping. ^____^ I will post a review and swatches later.

And from Sephora, they had 5 free samples with any purchase and I had a free shipping code.
Satsuma Body Butter To Go
$5
OMG!! I am in love with this smell.  Every time I pass by the Body Shop, I always walk a little bit slower or stop so I can smell it.
Tea Tree 4-Piece Facial Skin Care Regime
$29
I just started using it today and so far, pretty good.  Though I have to get use to the smell.


Well, that's all of the damage done...for now bwhahahha

The day started out good.  I got a lot of things for very nice prices.  But the day ended horribly.  But I don't want to talk about it =(  It ended and all is well.
