GoToob Squeezable Travel Tubes

I'm currently in Chicago for work.  I was notified a few days before I had to depart, so I had to do some last minute packing.

These GoToob squeezable travel tubes are amazing for travel, and definitely helped to lighten the suitcase full of business wear.

Vancouver Fashion Week - Fall/Winter 2013

I had the opportunity to attend the Friday showing of Vancouver Fashion Week 2013.  Many thanks to Rosalia for generously inviting me to tag along with her, on a media pass.  Rosalia has a super chic style -- Check out her fashion blog:  style-love.blogspot.com!
I also got the chance to meet Kerri, whose style is what I would describe as trendy professional.  Plus, her exercise regime is beyond admirable.

It was a great evening overall, and I really enjoyed myself.
I still cannot believe I attended an event as media -- It sounds so swanky!
At one point, I was sitting in the front row!

Burberry Haul - Complete Eye Palette, Light Glow Blush, Lip Definer

After many months of self-restraint (and general laziness), I finally made a trip to the Burberry counter and came away with some loot. 

REVIEW: Benefit Dandelion Ultra Plush Lip Gloss

I'm not a big fan of lip gloss, but nonetheless, I was happy to receive this Benefit Dandelion lip gloss in my February 2013 Topbox (my post).

It's quite a generous sample at 6.5 mL / 0.22 oz.
(A full sized tube is 0.5 oz, at $18 CAD)

Tresemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray

I'm a big fan of my CHI hair straightener, but I want to minimize the damage that's due to heat styling.

Last summer, Ingrid/Missglamorazzi was talking about this Tresemmé one.  In true fangirl nature, I bought it in hopes of having locks like hers.

March 2013 Topbox (Regular Box)

It seems like most of the boxes shipped early this month.  Topbox usually ships on the 10th of the month.

Before I received my tracking number, I got this email:

This prompted me to snoop around for spoilers.
I found this dialogue on their Facebook page:

HAHAHA... well, this would explain why ran out of the Mythic Oil.

It seems like most packages were shipped from Vancouver this month, though, mine was still shipped out of North York.
