I can't believe it's already the end of January! Winter is ending, and I cannot wait for that! I'm sure you've all seen all the new spring arrivals in stores :) I was pretty bummed out yesterday because I went for an interview and didn't get chosen. I was just so darn nervous but looking forward to doing better on the next :) *postive zen* So what happens when this girl is down? She spends the day not doing any schoolwork, playing with the dog, catching up with her TV shows (Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl), paints her nails, and shops! Retail therapy makes me happy, despite what those experts say!
This is me and my boyfriend's family dog - Dontei. He's a pure french bulldog, isn't he sOOooo adorable?! He makes me happy, and he reminds me being carefree is bliss :)
And onto my haul of the day...
Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus - thanks sista! My sister gave me a gift card during Christmas, and I finally get to try this! Excited!
Mac Special Reserve Highlight Powder Rose Ole from Cham Pale Collection - I resisted for the longest time, but I wanted this ever since I saw the pre-launch swatches for it. And it was fate, that the store I went to today still had it in stock! It was meant to be. Seriously. :)
And all you iPhone users, get your free Sephora iPhone cover for free when you show them you have their Sephora app! Okay, I'll admit I'm probably not going to use it, but it was free and it's nice to have a back-up :D
Then I made a stop at Forever 21! I haven't been there for sooo long, I wasn't in the mood to shop for clothes so I headed to the accessories section and found this cute ring ($5.80) and coral earrings ($3.80 how can you beat these prices?!) - perfect for spring/summer :)
Lastly, I haven't painted my nails in a while and I bought these American Apparel Nail Lacquers a long time ago (3 for $18) and never had the chance to try them out. And boy, I'm impressed! These could definitely pass as one-coaters. I painted two coats of Peacock here in my nail swatch (note to self: paint over cuticles next time). They are also DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde free. I find that they do take a bit longer to dry, and a base coat is a must. These babies stain your nails like no tomorrow. The colour selection there is also pretty amazing :) I also noticed Smith's Rosebud Salve in Original, Strawberry, and in the tubes at American Apparel. I know they are now available at Sephora as well, but just letting all you Canadians know of other locations ;)
Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weekend! Thanks for reading!! xoxo

As always <3 your posts!! Growing your mac collection i see :D haha Love that scarf--was that the one from Aerie? Looks so eerily familiar haha.
YES. I CANNOT WAIT for the spring (as shown by the caps) xx
Dontei's soooo cute! He always have that look as if he doesn't give a crap about the world kinda look! lol
Don't worry Jenny, I'm sure you'll get the next job!!! :D I was thinking if I should go get the free iphone case from sephora too but most likely I won't use it so I didn't bother :S
1) I can't wait for winter weather to be over either! >.<
2) Cute floral scarf, where's it from?
3) I think I might have the same eyeglasses frames as you...Burberry?
4) Hmm, I've been thinking about trying out American Apparel nail polishes (especially since they are 3-free) and they do have a great color selection...do you like them enough to recommend?
Good post & good luck w/ ur next interview(s)! :)
I can feel how avid you are for spring :)

Beautiful dog!!
Lovely ring <33

Awww your dog is SO cute! My bf and I keep contemplating on getting one (for years now), but his excuse is that dogs are expensive :( if you don't mind me asking, how much does it approximately cost to own a dog?
Everyone loves retail therapy ;) F21 prices for jewelry is best..can't go wrong!
oo flower ring =D so nice!
don't give up and continue searching! i'm trying to find a job too =.=
Cute dogggg!
really love the flower ring from forever 21 =)
lovely ring ^^!
I'm glad your dog made you happy :D
My cat do the same thing, I think animals can feel that your sad.
I like the nailcolor! And the earrings are gorgeous!
I'm a firm believer of retail therapy. lol. I'm sorry you didn't get chosen this time but positive zen will definitely land you the next job!^-^
F21 has the coolest accessories. I always walk away with a necklace or two.
I've heard so many good things about Mac mineralize skinfish. I hope you do a review of it later :)
@Steph - you have such good memory! it is indeed from Aerie :)
@Renee - scarf is from Aerie a while back! and my frames are Versace :) the american apparel polishes are super awesome! they last a long time, but you must must use a base coat! stains the nails like crazy!
@missmicchan - this is my bf's family dog, i don't know the actual cost but only the initial cost hurts the wallet a bit. after that you only need to worry about food/toys, and vet bills (these cost the most).
OMG $8 for E.L.F. is too much!!! They don't ship where you live? I just recently bought some more elf stuffs because of their vday special :)
P.S. I loveeeeee that earrings!!! <3
Sounds like a healthy way to spend some down time ! Love the haul, and your dog ! So cute ! ;-D I'm wearing a very similar colour your nail polish too. It's lovely on you ;-)
Hi Jenny! Aww cute picture with your bf's dog! that's a nice MAC haul.. the highlight powder looks very pretty! thanks for your comment.. i haven't put out a skin routine post yet but will do soon :D
Love the MAC stuff you got! I was so hoping to get some stuff from that collection, but I shouldn't be buying... ahhh! lol

Awww Dontei is not only a lovely name, he's darn cute too!! Lovin' the haul Jenny. The highlight powder looks so nice. I averted my eyes from it when I saw the preview of the collection haha. I saw that offer for a free iPhone cover for free too! But I thought it'd be useless for me because I don't own an iphone and I don't think I would ever.
F21 has such nice stuff for cheap. I recently read an article about F21 as a company. It was interesting learning about the owners of F21~ they're Asian! I didn't even know that! And they occasionally get sued for copying designs and whatnot. They're also very clever in creating demand for the stuff they sell. It was pretty interesting.
