Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin

I read the book after watching the movie (which I loved BTW), and I loved it as well :) It was really hard to root for Darcy (even though she was the one who was cheated on) mainly because she was very self-centered. I'm not an advocate for adultery, but in this case, Rachel belonged with Dex.
This will be a book that I will read over and over again :)

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

Love love LOVE this series! As a shopaholic myself, I can easily relate to Becca's shopping impulses :S There's a good mix of comedy and romane and realism to this story, and it's just a good entertaining read. Unfortunately, for me, the movie didn't quite measure up to the book (as adorable as Isla Fisher is!). I've read the series over and over again, so that in itself indicates that it's a keeper! -

As a coffee lover, I absolutely LOVE this frozen yogurt! It has the taste and texture of a good quality ice cream, but with a LOT less calories! My favourite part are the little chocolate chip specs throughout it - it adds another dimension to the texture.
It tastes and feels like ice cream, but it's sooooo much better :) If you love coffee, you HAVE to try it!

Chapman's Caramel Pecan Crunch Frozen Yogurt
I love this frozen yogurt! It tastes great and doesn't carry all the calories of ice cream :) What more could a girl ask for?

I LOVE iced coffee, especially in the hotter months! This is one of my favourites because it's already prepared - just pour over ice and you're good to go :) So much easier than brewing the coffee and waiting for it to cool. I love freezing this in ice cube trays then blending it with some milk :) YUMMY! -
Wet 'n' Wild Megalast Nail Polish Haze of Love
I love this colour! It's a deep brownish-red, and it goes really well with my skin tone (medium with tones of yellow). It's a great colour for fall/winter. The bottle is super cute - it reminds me of the Essie nail polish bottle, and it makes the... +
I love this colour! It's a deep brownish-red, and it goes really well with my skin tone (medium with tones of yellow). It's a great colour for fall/winter.
The bottle is super cute - it reminds me of the Essie nail polish bottle, and it makes the polish look like it's really high-end. The brush is one of my favourites - makes application neat and fast. I will buy this brand again!

Rimmel London Volume Flash Scandaleyes Mascara

I bought this mascara because it was (surprise!) cheap - just over $3 at Walmart. And I regret having picked it out :(
First, the brush is HUMUNGOUS!!! I mean, H-U-M-U-N-G-O-U-S! It felt like I was putting mascara on with one of those jousting batons from American Gladiators! No lie! I couldn't apply the product without getting it all over my eyelid - my short sparse lashes weren't any help, either :S And it was hard to control. I finally had to use the mascara wand from one of my clear mascaras and use THAT! And it worked a whole lot better, considering it was a cheap dollar store mascara O_o
The mascara itself wasn't very impressive, either. It took a long time to dry, although it didn't smudge as it claimed.
Overall, not a good last-min purchase for me. I'll stick to Maybelline and Cover Girl.

Annabelle Cosmetics Waterproof Lip Liner in Nude

I've been searching high and low for a lip liner to replace my SOHO Desert Clay (a neutral browny pink colour), and I've finally found it!
Annabelle Waterproof Nude is the perfect neutral colour - not too pink, not to brown, the right amount of colour (not to dark or pale) - and the formula goes on smoothly. I can actually use this lip liner by itself - no more trying to blend different shades! - with just some lip balm over it.
The price could use some improvement ($4 at Walmart), but it's the perfect shade AND it's waterproof, so I'll deal with it. Hey, without the need to buy a matching lipstick, you can afford the $4! Highly recommend!

I would definitely reccommend this to someone looking for an inexpensive scrub that works really well.

I don't usually use masks as I've found that they rarely work, but I decided at the last minute to pick this up since it was pretty cheap and it claimed to "reduce the appearance of pores".
Just tried this a few mins ago and I have to say that it works pretty good :) I have very oily skin, and once I washed the mask off, my skin looked brighter, smoother and best of all, NOT OILY!! O.O Of course, I'll have to wait and see how the mask works on a longer period of time, but for first impressions, it's pretty good! My skin still feels nice and matte and no stinging whatsoever. For the price, it's a low-risk option :)
