Shopping: Dollar Tree & Kmart

I was in Wildwood NJ for a whole week (July 22 - 29) and while I lounged on the beach mostly all day, I was very excited to explore stores we don't have here in Canada, like Dollar Tree (where everything is $1 or less!) and Kmart. I picked up some goodies but I'm pretty proud of myself as I didn't spend too much. Yey!

Assured Body Powder Medicated Triple Relief Formula $1 Before going to Wildwood, I developped big red rashes on my thighs and I have absolutely no idea what it was or how I developped this reaction. It was just so itchy, I had to buy some cream or ointment to calm the itchiness. I came accross this medicated body powder containing menthol, which quickly calmed the itchiness - but only temporarily.

Natureplex Hydrocortisone Cream Maximum Strength $1 This cream is supposed to temporary relieve itching associated with minor skin irritations, inflammation and rashes, and I've been told that hydrocortisone creams are great to calm eczema flare-ups, so for $1, I thought, why not? I also used it on my rashes and it helped a little. The tube is very small and I feel I will use it very quickly, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Premier Heel Grippers Sponge Rubber $1 I always have a hard time finding shoe insoles that really work and won't slip away after only two uses. I have found that gel insoles don't work really well for me so I decided to give these rubber ones a try and so far, I'm impressed!

Icy Breeze Breath Spray Spearmint $1 I remember when these breath sprays were the big thing somewhere around elementary school and high school, except that they were not really designed to refresh your breath back then - they were fruit or candy flavoured. It's a great thing to keep in your handbag, and I find it works better than chewing gum to refresh your breath.

Max Block SPF 30 Baby Sunscreen Lotion with Aloe Vera $1 If it's good for babies, I guess it couldn't be bad for me?

Banana Boat Ultra Defense Sheer Protect SPF 50 $1 On my way out of Dollar Tree, I spotted this rack full of sunscreens and wow, SPF 50 for only $1?! I haven't tried Banana Boat products before but if I believe the hype, they should be great.

Glo Women's Jayden Patent Platform Pump - Blush on sale for $19.99 I always wanted nude heels because they are just so classy and they go with everything but I was waiting for a great deal - and I found one! I love that these heels have an "hidden" platform, it makes them much more comfortable, and it makes the 4 1/2" heel more bearable (:

Glo Women's Marbella Chain Demi Wedge - Black on sale for $14.99 I am absolutely in love with these shoes! They are called demi wedges which I think is strange because they look more like gladiator sandals to me... But OMG, I mean, just look at them! I have nothing similar in my closet so they instantly catched my attention when I saw them on the clearance rack and guess what? It was the only pair left! I can't believe my luck! They are super comfortable, and the chains and zippers... ♥

Before I forget, let me announce the winner of my Hold Me Bag giveaway...

Shopping: Wildwood

I went to Wildwood about one week ago with my parents. It was cold, windy and not sunny (at all), so we did some shopping. Here are the amazing bargains I found at Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart:

Dollar Tree:
  • Lip Balm All Natural enriched with vitamin E (100% natural)
  • Salon Professional Personal Care Leave-In Conditioner
  • LA Colors Expressions Loose Eyeshadow in Radiant
  • Physicians Formula Mosaic Cream Eye Shadow in Nutmeg Mosaic
We don't have Dollar Tree here in Quebec - where everything is 1$ - so I was totally amazed when I came accross this Physicians Formula eye shadow palette! Oh and that 100% natural lip balm is my new favorite lip balm, that's why I stocked up on it. It leaves my lips totally soft and hydrated, and like the Burt's Bees lip balm, it contains beeswax, but unlike it, it is 100% natural. The leave-in conditioner leaves my hair absolutely soft and touchable. It is written on the bottle that it is comparable to Paul Mitchell The Conditioner!

Wal-Mart:
  • Revlon Color Silk Beautiful Color in Brown Black
  • Burt's Bees 25th Anniversary Head To Toe Starter Kit
In Quebec, our Wal-Mart doesn't have Revlon Color Silk, and it was only 2$-ish, so I decided to give it a try. It is said to give similar results to Nice 'n Easy 121A Natural darkest Brown, which is one of my favourite hair color product. Oh, and it's also ammonia free!

About that beautiful Burt's Bees anniversary package... take a closer look:


It was the only one left! I had to get my hands on it. The package includes:
  • limited edition keepsake tin
  • Honey Lip Balm
  • Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion ( 1fl oz/ 29.5 ml)
  • Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream (0.25 oz/ 7g)
  • Banana Hand Creme (0.25 oz/ 7g)
  • Orange Essence Facial Cleanser (0.56 oz/ 16g)
  • Peppermint Foot Lotion (0.47 fl oz/ 14 ml)
  • Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme (0.3 oz/ 8.5g)
  • Peppermint Shower Soap (0.8 oz/ 22.7 g)
  • Citrus Spice Exfoliating Shower Bar (0.8 oz/ 23g)
  • Hand Salve (0.3 oz/ 8.5 g)
  • Vitamin E Body & Bath Oil (1 fl oz/ 29 ml)
I've already experienced the products of the original head to toe starter kit, but this special package contains other nice products I can't wait to try!
