Milani Cosmetics Coupon at Real Canadian Superstore

Hi everyone!

I was at the Real Canadian Superstore (a.k.a. Superstore) 2 days ago, and they had a Milani Cosmetics coupon on their big wall of coupons when you walk into the store.

$3.00 off when you spend $10.00. Not too shabby.
The coupon is good until March 22, 2013, so if you are into Milani stuff, you should check it out :)

Real Techniques Brushes in Canada Soon! (Updated Feb. 27, 2013)

Hey guys! This a super short, update post!

So you may have seen my previous post: Real Techniques Brushes in Canada Soon?

Well, today I went to my local Walmart and guess what they had?! Sorry to maybe get you excited, but they didn't have the Real Techniques brushes. BUT! They DID have the price tags for them in the cosmetics section!

$18.97  for the Core Collection and $18.97 for the Starter Set.
When these brushes will actually be in store, I don't know, but it's GOT to be soon!
There's also the possibility that they were in the store and just sold out THAT fast.

If I see the brushes in person, I'll let y'all know!
If you've seen them, let ME know! I wants them!!

Thanks for reading!

UPDATE: Feb. 27, 2013

Hey Everyone!
I still haven't seen the Real Techniques brushes in Canadian Walmarts yet, but I took a picture of the price tags with my phone:

Left to right, all $18.97 price tags: RT Starter Set, RT Core Collection, RT Travel Essentials.

I didn't even know about the Travel Essentials kit. It comes with 3 full size brushes: the essential foundation brush, domed shadow brush, and multitask brush. Here's what it looks like from the Real Techniques website:

Real Techniques Brushes in Canada Soon?

Hey everyone!

I'm being bored on a holiday Monday, and when not wasting time on tumblr, I've been wasting time randomly searching things on the internet. One of those things was the Real Techniques makeup brushes, designed by one of my fave makeup artists Samantha Chapman (check out my other faves here), and are made by the same company that make EcoTools.

Anyway, I saw this one website claiming that Real Techniques will soon be available in Canada! At Walmart! Has anyone else heard this? Does anyone know if this is ACTUALLY true? And if so, is there a date, or will I have to go to Walmart everyday, now? lol.

A Short Note About Rimmel Foundation Shades (Clean Finish vs. Lasting Finish)

Hey everyone :)

Who likes reasonably priced foundations? I do! (Actually, I like reasonably priced ANYTHING!)

Recently I realized that I needed more foundation, so I decided to try Rimmel's Clean Finish Foundation, which was on sale for only $4.99 at Shopper's Drug Mart last week!
Now the real reason for this post, is not necessarily a review, but just something I learned (that most of you probably already know...but for some reason this problem didn't even occur to me!).

Claire's Mini-Haul (Makeup and Other Stuff)

Hey everyone!

So today I went to the mall...yay! LOL. There was a clearance sale at Claire's, so I thought it would be fun to show you my mini-haul of products :)


I don't usually go into Claire's, since I feel like I'm a bit old for most of their stuff, but I do like to peek inside as I walk past it. For those who don't know, Claire's is an accessories store that sells mostly jewelry and trinkets, but they also have hats and scarves and things like that, as well as some makeup. Anyway, for some reason, today I decided to go in, and they had all "redline" items (A.K.A. items previously marked down in red pen) for 10 items for 10 dollars. This deal was for items originally priced at $11.50 or lower. For 10 bucks, I couldn't pass that up, even if I might not use half of the stuff.

Favourite funny and random internet memes

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't been posting lately! I want to do some reviews, but I can't transfer any pictures from my camera on to my computer at the moment! It's SO annoying! But it's my fault...I got some of my memory card adapter stuck in my laptop's memory card reader! Until I get one of the following: a new memory card adapter, a new memory card reader, OR the cord that originally came with my camera so I can just hook it up to my computer, I can't really post any reviews for you..unless I take the pics with my old school cell phone (a LG voyager that I got in 2009), and nobody wants that. HOWEVER, I promise to get this camera issue fixed by the end of this weekend, even if I have to tear my house apart to find the missing cord!

Now...what will I post in this post??  As the title says: here are some random memes that I like, and some I've recently discovered.

First! What is a MEME? Well...according to the internet:

A "meme" is a virally-transmitted cultural symbol or social idea. A meme (rhymes with "team") behaves like a flu or a cold virus, traveling from person to person quickly, but transmitting an idea instead of a lifeform. According to Cecil Adams of theStraightDope.com, the concept of memes "is either really deep, or really, really obvious".

Seems simple enough...LOL. Here we go:

I was just shown this meme yesterday. The name is pretty self explanatory.

The one that made me look it up:
