I go to Winners a lot, I'll admit. I find it relaxing to head down there on my lunch break - there's one near work - and check out what new goodies they've got there. I definitely don't buy something every time I'm in there, but I do buy a lot of stuff there from mugs to wallets to beauty goodies. Sometimes there's very little of interest on their shelves and all of the good things have been picked over or destroyed by greedy little swatchers - Don't be that person, it's inconsiderate and selfish! - but recently I've gotten lucky quite a few times to get my hands on some incredible high end finds. Because I've been so lucky lately, I wanted to show you guys some of the things I've managed to find there!

After my last ShopMissA Haul, I've been wanting to do another one but I wanted to wait until there were some new AOA Studio products launched since those products have been the ones I've had the most success with. When I checked out the site and found that they had introduced baked highlighters and shadows in the AOA Studio range, I really had no choice, did I? I went with a selection of different things from the brand and I feel like there are some definite hits and misses with this haul.

I've done a couple of hauls from Shop Miss A here on the blog before, but I decided to do a dedicated haul of some of their AOA Studio products after seeing some of the products on a Youtube video. I've tried a couple of things from the AOA Studio line before, specifically the face brushes and the blending sponge and I really liked both of them, so I figured there could be some more gems in the line. I mean, at dollarstore prices with products that look like they're stepping it up, how could I resist?

As much as I'd like to, I don't order from Colourpop often - but I do suspect that now that they offer free International shipping at orders over $50USD I will likely be ordering a little bit more often. My experience with Colourpop has actually been overwhelmingly positive, generally, and I still reach for a few of their Super Shock shadows really, really consistently. So of course, when I had the opportunity to ship orders to a family friend's US condo and have my dad bring them back for me after a holiday, I had to take the opportunity to pick up a few things. Right? I had no choice in the matter!

When people asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, of course I said I wanted Sephora gift cards because... I mean, what else does a makeup junkie really want for Christmas? I mean, I could have made a wishlist of holiday sets or makeup products that I wanted, but I feel like a gift card is a twofer because you get the gift, but you also get to shop - and getting to shop is always a treat, but especially when you're not smashing into your own bank account. So, when Christmas day ended and I was faced with what would be my biggest Sephora spend ever, I was literally having dreams about what I was going to buy. This is a bit of a collective haul and includes 1 online order, 1 return, and a total of 3 trips to my 2 different local Sephoras... all in about 4 days. I know, I'm a fiend, but can you blame me? I was going to hold onto one of the gift cards... but then I got an email telling me that I was almost at VIB Rouge status, so clearly I had to spend it and get myself those perks for 2017.

Let's get onto the haul, shall we?

Hey guys! I know it's been a minute since I've posted over here, but I took a little bit of time away from blogging to really enjoy the holidays with friends and family... and then I basically got hit by a big truck of illness and have spent the last few days in bed pretty much unable to function. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Anyway, I had a few different posts planned to start off 2017, but I decided to go a slightly lazy route since I'm still recovering and come in with a haul for you guys! And, trust me, this haul is LONG time coming. I made this order on Cyber Monday (Nov. 28) and received it yesterday (Jan. 3). Yup. It took 3 weeks for them to process my order. At 24 days after I ordered, they sent me a message telling me that a limited edition product I ordered had gone out of stock. And finally after 5 weeks of waiting, my order arrived. I still love essence products, guys, but I have to be honest and tell you I'm never ordering from their website again. Not only is their Canadian shipping absolutely offensive, but the delivery time for my order was unacceptable. 

However, like I said, I still love their products and am pretty happy with almost everything that I picked up, so keep reading to see the haul!
