BLACK FRIDAY 2014 Shopping Haul- Kate Spade, Old Navy, Sport Chek, MAC, Victoria Secret & more... (LONG POST)

Today was my FIRST EVER Black Friday shopping spree!!!! Many people think I shop a lot due to my large range of MK/Coach bags, but I never real go on an actually haul for clothing etc since its SO expensive. I went to buy jeans last time and lowest price I could find for a pair of jeans was $44 dollars. Talk about pricey! So why not take advantage of this opportunity. Thank goodness its Pay Day.

This is going to be a LONG post (as stated in the title-lots of pictures mostly). I did both online shopping and went to Toronto Eaton Centre for the remaining items. Lets get started:

Kate Spade NewYork- 75% Online Sale: 

Mika Pond Stacy Wallet (Color-> Fresh Air): 
I have been some what obsessed with the "Tiffany Blue" colour (as you could tell with my Nike purchase). Instead of me a getting pink wallet, which would be my normal take, I got this Tiffany blue wallet! Kate Spade rarely does sales, but of course Black Friday would be 75% OFF!! I have never seen that happen in a long time! I took great advantage of this and ordered this beauty. Regular price being $100-120 dollars and now down to $49.99. Pretty good deal! I also wanted a mini bag, which use to be $200 and now $69.99 but of course its sold out.....
So with shopping (thanks canada) and tax it came out to $69.58 (compared to $130). This item is SOLD OUT now. Saved $60 bucks

Betsy Johnson- 33% OFF (Code: BLACK):

Hollywood Glam Leopard Face Necklace: 
I bought this necklace for my Mother! She absolutely loves Betsy Johnson necklaces (just like myself) for many reasons. Main reason why we love Betsy Johnson Jewellery in general, is it STANDS OUT! Like talk about bling bling. Many of the necklaces I have purchased for her in the past, always bring in the compliments when she or myself (when I kidnap her jewellery for a particular outfit) wear it, regardless of occasion. Original price is $98 dollars. It was on sale for $69.98 and thanks to 33% OFF deal, comes down to $46.98! Thanks to shipping (once again) and tax the price shoots back to $71.45 (sometimes I wish I lived in US). However with the normal price, tax and shipping I would be paying about $130 dollars. Saving $60 bucks!

SuperDry:

Hyper Herder Snood (Color-> Cream):
This is a chunky, waffle knitted snood with a thick fleece lining plus, a soft faux-fur trim. It includes the SuperDry logo, right and centre. I decided to pick this up since, I love wearing scarves during winter, and I thought this is pretty fashionable & match my Goose jacket pretty nicely. I had no knowledge of SuperDry at ALL, but was introduced by Noah (thanks buddy). The normal price is $70 dollars, and came down to $49.99. Also with the black friday promotion there NO TAX and FREE shipping. So I paid $49.99 Flat which makes me Save a total of $40 bucks if you add tax/shipping.

This was my Online Shopping Craze for the night. Now moving onto what I got from Eaton Centre:

Sport Chek- NO TAX from 8AM-10AM: 

UnderArmor Women UA Big Logo Applique Twist Hoodie (Color- Siberian Iris):

ONLY reason why I picked this up was due to a FACT (I know, I worked at Sport Chek) that this product NEVER goes on sale. Underarmor is the one company that RARELY goes on sale (boxing day is one of the only occasions). Hoodies were 25% OFF, so the normal price is $69.99 and came down to $44.99. There were many styles and colour combination to choose from but I thought this was a nice mix and eye catcher, especially if you wear it with tights. I truthfully am in LOVE with the colour, Hands down! WORTH EVER PENNY! Note, I haven't bought a underarmor sweater since I quit Sport Check which was in November 2013 so this is an achievement.

Underarmor Women Armour Sport Bra- DD cup (Colour- Black/Purple)

I FINALLY got the Sport Bra I wanted!!! I was lucky, not ONLY did I get the zipper front version in my size, but also got it ON SALE (talk about RARE)! The originally price for the bras are $69.99 but was on sale for $44.99! Sold! Got the second last one! I tried it on and boy does it keep your boobs in PLACE! I can Jog, jump etc and they will not move! Not to mention the quality/material is superb compare to other brands and I have never heard anything negative about this branded bra. Even the lady at sport chek told me this is the Bra to get when your REALLY active! I knew that of course, but always nice to get a second opinion! Im defiantly ready for the gym on monday! So total price for both items was $97.98 (no tax) compared to $160 with tax which let me Save $60 dollars.

Old Navy- 50% OFF ENTIRE STORE: 
I WENT CRAZY AT OLD NAVY! I have NEVER bought so many clothes in one time since...like 3-5 years ago! We were in the store for a good 1.5 hour trying clothes on and looking around. I got a number of items but basically the essential things included:

• Black/White Scarf: $19.99 (Sale: 9.99)
• Black and White Polka Dot Pants: $32.99 (Sale: 16.50)
• 2 Workout Tights (Galaxy Blue & Black/Grey): $35 each (Sale: 16.75)
• 2 Workout Tops (Magenta Shirt/ Neon Pink & Neon orange Tank Top): $15 (Sale: $7.50)
• Red Long Sleeve shirt: $20 (Sale: $10)
• 2 Grey Cardigans (One thin/one thick): $35/$25 (Sale: $16.75/12.50)
• Black T-shirt: $10 (Sale: $5)

Together without the sale would total $243 and with tax= $275. 

Total WITH the Sale was $141. 

I Saved $134 dollars 

MAC- Cosmetics (NO SALE)

Sadly, MAC wasn't doing ANY promotions on ANYTHING, So I simply picked up a lipstick I've been wanting for a while (FIRST MAC lipstick, finally) and a pencil to give me a very dark gothic look. 

MAC Matte Lipstick: Heroine (a nice bright purple)

Due to it being WAY to bright (which I honestly DONT mind) I added the MAC Pro Long Lip Pencil- Bespoken For. When using this in combination will give a very nice DARK looking purple which is what my primary goal is. I usually wear very bright, eye catching lipstick which I do love. However, in the new year I want to change my appearance just a bit, THUS fitting my imaginary image. 

I have to admit, the women who served us was RUDE! Like to the point, where not only talked to someone about it, I called the store to complain and filing a complaint online as well -3- (don't play with me when it comes to attitude). I asked this lady to show me a good foundation, ONLY applies it to one side of my face, and when I stated I wasn't going to purchase it today but wanted a the name of the foundation and powder blend, she told me to write it in my phone -__-. Like WTF, If i wanted to write it in my phone I would have done so bitch....Grr! Not to mention, I specifically asked for the Heroine lipstick and she stated she would get it for us, but instead goes and serves another asian customer -__-!! Leaving me and my best friend to STAND there for 3 minutes. Totally pissed off. I will see to it that she gets in trouble!

Victoria Secret - Up to 50% OFF

This is my first purchase from Victoria Secret. Truthfully, I assumed they wouldn't have bigger sizes but to my surprised they had a large selection. The sale today was Buy 4 panties for $28.50 compared to 1 panties is $11.50-13.50. So my total was $32 dollars with tax compared to $52 dollars. I saved $20.  

Bath & Body Works- Buy 3 Wicked Candles for $33.50:

Yes....I BOUGHT CANDLES AGAIN! I know, I have an addiction....seriously. Anyways, I decided to take advantage of this sale since the last time I passed by it was 2 for $34 dollars. I was only going to purchase 2 (Buy 2 for $25.50) BUT I remembered I had a $10 OFF coupon in my wallet, so I picked one extra candle and got 10 dollars off. So my total came to $25 dollars (LITERALLY the price for ONE candle, and I got 3!!! Now that is a AMAZING deal). I was originally going to buy more Carmel (my previous one is almost done), but I found Hot Buttered Rum & Pumpkin Gingerbread, so I decided to purchase those. Total Savings was $55 dollars (would be $75 dollars plus tax)

THATS IT!!! (For my clothing Haul that is!!!). I did do Part 2 of Shopping which was going to Costco with my best friend for some healthy food, but that will be a separate blog. 

Overall, I SAVED $430 dollars Today :D!!!! Extremely Proud!

Till Next Time...

GUESS, Nike Free Runs, Bath&Body Works Haul- Review

Today I did a little Shopping!!! I went to GUESS, Sport Chek and Bath&Body Works at Eaton Centre with Anissa and Lina.

GUESS:
Item purchased: Delany Mini Tote (BROWN)
Reason of purchase: GIFT

I bought this bag from my friend Lina as her Birthday/Christmas Gift. I'm personally not a GUESS fan (due to bad annoying obnoxious friend who had an obsession with GUESS and loved to rub in my face how "rich" she was by buying bags all the time with her parents money -_-. However, this tote did catch my eye. The quality is good, the colour is classy and original so it can be used literally with any outfit whether its just out with friends or for a more casual night at the bar. I don't think it would be a good fit with a very "high class" outfit but if combined properly with a good outfit, it can be pulled off. It was $70 dollars plus tax so around $85 dollars which is a pretty good price for a mini tote seeing as other brands such as MK etc will sell this bag for around $150-200 and it's slightly smaller in size/shape. Overall, I was pretty pleased with the style, quality and presentation of the bag. Not to mention my friend absolutely LOVED it! Defiantly recommend it as a gift esp for Christmas which is fast approaching...

SPORT CHEK:

Items purchased: Nike Free 5.0 Runners & Nike Free 3.0 V5 Runners

Reason for purchase: I NEED RUNNING SHOES 

Me and my bestie Anissa went to Sport Chek cause they're currently have a BUY ONE get the other 50% off sale which they usually do maybe 4-5 times/year. I decided to take advantage of this since I only have one main pair of underarmor running shoes and they are pretty dead (like the inside liner is falling out -_-). Since I'm joining the gym next month (Already paid for my membership WOOT), I need some new kicks. Also, Im personally in LOVE with Nike and Underarmor brands. Their shoes have always been my favourite due to the unique combination of colours and quality. I was going to buy one Nike and one Underarmor but they didn't have the colour I was looking for in my size (I have huge feet, size 11....Genetics). 

1. Nike Free 3.0 V5 Runners-> Turquoise/Grey/Sliver "Tiffany Blue"

I'm officially IN LOVE with these!!! I have seen this pair ALL over Instragram used with its given nickname "Tiffany Blue Nike Shoes". The colour combination is perfect, the blue alone is a such a nice shade (Turquoise is one of my favourite shades of blue). I originally never noticed it since it was located on the VERY top shelf. Anissa had pointed it out to me when they didn't have my size in the underarmor shoe I was interested in. THANK GOD they had this in my size! This was a must buy regardless of the promotion. Price: $129.99

2. Nike Free 5.0 Runners-> Hyper Grape/Court Purple, Summit White/Hyper Turquoise 

This was the last pair in 11 the store associate could find. Since its so hard to find my size, it was difficult for the sale associate to find me something I really liked. I needed a second pair to get the 50% off deal so I decided hey, lets get another pair! This was a good combination (dark purple with tiffany blue!!! C'mon WHY NOT). I was REALLY happy with this purchase. Original price: $129.99 

BATH & BODY WORKS:

Item purchased: 2 Candles, 1 Body Lotion, 1 Christmas Limited Candle Holder
Reason of purchase: Need candles that will last more than a week, other bought d/t promotion

Finally, I went to B&BW because I've wanted candles from them for a REALLY long time! I've seen their candles on many Youtube hauls, room decor tours etc, so I was really interested in getting some myself. I love lighting up candles as well since my Mom does it ALL the time, so I kinda got use to it. Also, it helps when Im home alone and playing video games or watching TV. So currently, they're doing a Buy 2 get 2 FREE OR Buy 3 get 3 Free! I honestly should have bought 3 and get 3 but I decided to budget myself since I have more Christmas shopping to get out of the way and just pick some more up later. 

1. Cinnamon Carmel Swirl Candle: The scent is pretty nice overall. Many of the other candles either had weird combinations or just couldn't be smelled AT ALL (and I would not waste money on something I can't smell when NOT lit). The Carmel is a little stronger than the Cinnamon but the combination is very soothing to the nose and if lit complements one another. 

Price: $22 

2. Japanese Cherry Blossom Candle/Body Lotion: To be honest, I've had my eye on this particular lotion for a LONG time! One of my previous friends had bought me the body wash (gave it to my mom to use, so never really got to enjoy the scent) but I've wanted a lotion version to either carry around during work, or to apply after my showers to prevent dry skin. This MUST be very popular since I've wanted this for about 1-2 years ago and its STILL here. I love the scent so much that I bought both the candle and lotion (would have honestly bought the portable lotion container too). I tried the lotion today, applying small amount to my hands (around 2145pm) and now it being 0530am now, I can STILL smell the fragrance in my hands. My hands are still soft, smooth and feel moisturized compared to other lotions which the scent would fade within the hour and reapplying would be necessary. I'm VERY impressed. Price: $22/ FREE (for the lotion, originally $12.50)

3. Christmas Limited Edition Candle Holder: Finally, I decided to get at least one Candle Holder, for my lovely candles and to make my room a BIT more stylish. As you can see in the top picture, my desk is pretty small but has enough room to decorate it. Since its Christmas its a good holiday season decoration to add to my desk (which I almost never sit at, unless playing my 3DS or PS3). I just loved the design and how it holds the candle. Even when Christmas is over its still a nice candle holder esp for B&BW candles. Price: FREE (original $11.99)

Customer Service was Excellent in ALL 3 stores and I had a good shopping day! I'm really enjoying B&BW products so I may pass by there tomorrow to get more...well see =D. Till next time
