FOTD + OOTD: Tell me what you want so we can do just what you like

I recently started working as a sales person at a clothing boutique at my local mall (I won't discolse the name here, I don't want any problem, but if you really want yo know, you can tweet me) and I love it so far, it's very different from my previous jobs but I'm always up for new aventures and challenges!

The employees have a dress code to follow and I'm actually enjoying having to get dressed up for work - and we are also required to wear lipstick or lipgloss, which is cool because I don't have lots of occasions to wear lipsticks and I have so many! So here are my FOTD and OOTD for my second day at work.

FOTD + OOTD: Girl my body don't lie, I'm outta my mind, let it rain over me

My first day of Uni was on September 1st so this post is a little late but it's better late than never, don't you think? Oh and I'm not that pale in person, I blame the flash and the stupid cloudy weather we've had lately! Maybe it's time to fake tan?

* Product tested on animals. You may (or may not) be aware that Gaby's Beauty Blog recently went cruelty-free. However, I hope it's understandable that I can't simply throw away the products I have previously purchased that have unfortunately been tested on animals - believe me, I wouldn't hesitate if I were rich! My goal is to use up those products but not repurchase them in the future. Also, Gaby's Beauty Blog will no longer accept for review purposes products that have been tested on animals.

FOTD + OOTD: The scars of your love they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling we could of had it all

I realize I don't post FOTDs or OOTDs often on here and I don't really have a proper reason besides lazyness. I must admit I never thought my makeup looks or outfits could be of any interest as I mostly stick with basic and neutral looks - boring much? - but these types of posts seem to be very popular on the blogosphere.

Anyway, I had a job interview two weeks ago (I got the job, yey!) and for once, I was not in a rush and I had the time to take proper pictures!

Shopping: Dollarama & Wal-Mart

ELF Mechanical Eyelash Curler ($1.50) It's been such a long time since I last browsed the beauty aisle in my local dollar store, so I went to take a look last week and you can imagine my surprise to find my favorite lash curler here: ELF Mechanical Eyelash Curler! ELF isn't sold in Quebec, and the shipping fees from the website are horrible. I won this eyelash curler in a giveaway some times ago and I immedialety got hooked! I didn't hesitate to buy a backup (=

Scope White Mouthwash Mint Splash (around $5) I have never tried a whitening mouthwash before and since this one was on sale, I thought I would give it a try and keep you updated on how it goes.

John Frieda Collection Frizz-Ease Heat Defeat Protective Styling Spray (gift) My mother found this on sale at Wal-Mart some times ago and she thought I would be interested in trying it. I already have three heat protectant but I guess you can never have enough?

Grey thighs (gift) My mother found these on sale (at l'Aubainerie, if I remember well), and she knew I wanted grey thighs/leggings, so she picked up one pair for me, and one for her. They are not as warm as my black winter leggings (that I've been wearing a little too much this winter), but I had already ordered grey winter leggings on eBay anyway.

L'Oréal Sublime Mousse in 30 Pure Darkest Brown (free) As I told you in my last Mail of the Week post, I received a coupon for a free box of L'Oréal Sublime Mousse. But boy was it hard to get the little girl behind the counter to understand that this box was free! At first, she didn't understand what was the mousse that I was supposed to receive, as stated on the coupon (hm hello, isn't it written big enough for you?), and then she started arguing that they didn't have this promotion going on and that the only thing she could do is give me a $3 rebate... WTF? She finally asked her manager who told her that the hair dye was really free. Damn! Anyway, when the foam hair dye trend emerged, I was sceptical (and I still am), but I can't wait to give this a try! I'll keep you updated.

SPAresource Stipple Brush ($5) I've been recently searching for a good and affordable stipple brush to apply my Covergirl NatureLuxe Foundation, so you can easily imagine my surprise when I saw only two remaining SPAresource Stipple Brushes in a clearance display at Wal-Mart, where everything was on sale for $5! I believe they were cleaning the SPAresource brushes display to make room for the new Pro-Series brushes, because there was no "old" brushes left there. This is my first stipple brush so I have nothing to compare it to, but I made sure to touch it in the store before buying it, and I think it's super soft and the hair are quite dense for only $5. Can't wait to use it!

Sheer panties (gift) My mother-in-law found these for only $0.50 at Zellers but they didn't fit her, so she gave it to me. They are so pretty, and they totally fit me, even if they are size Medium. Now, with the ones I recently ordered from La Senza, I really don't need more panties!

Wet N Wild Brow & Eye Liner Pencil in Taupe ($1.57) I've always been lazy with my brows, but after constantly seeing perfect brows (such as those from JLovesMac1), I decided to take action! Oh and at this price, how could I say no?

L'Oréal Studio Volum Max Volumizing Spray ($0.96) I had a $2.00 coupon on any L'Oréal haircare or hair styling product, so decided to use it on this product as it seems rather interesting: you only have to spray it directly on the roots and tadaaah! Volume! Yes I'm sceptical, but at price, I figured I could give it a try.

Giveaways I have won in November

 My prize from Lisamarie's giveaway

• Avon Healthy Makeup Mousse Foundation in Natural Beige
• Avon Healthy Makeup Lipstick SPF 15 in Pink Light
• Avon Healthy Makeup Lip Conditioner SPF 15 in Nude Blush
• Avon Healthy Makeup Eyeshadow in Iced Mocha
• Avon Healthy Makeup Eyeshadow in Violet Dusk

Mousse Foundation in Natural Beige: At first, I thought this would be a little too dark for my light skintone, but when blended, it matches perfectly! I never wear foundation and this is the first mousse foundation I get to try, and I'm pretty happy with it. It is very light and it leaves my skin so soft!

Lipstick SPF 15 in Pink Light (top) and Lip Conditioner SPF 15 in Nude Blush (bottom) : Both of those lipsticks are a little too dark for everyday wear against my light skintone, but they can easily be toned down with a single swipe. Also, in pictures, both shades look very similar...

Eyeshadow in Violet Dusk (left) and Iced Mocha (right) : These are cream to powder eyeshadows and they glide so well on the lid, but they crease like crazy )=

My prize from Julie's giveaway

 

• Mega Shine Lipgloss in La La
• Lipstick in Tea Rose
• Eyeshadow in Sensual
• Rouge Cream Blush in Natural
• Liquid Crystal Liner in Crystal Onyx
• Doll Eye Mascara Long Lash in Extreme Black
• Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries 

Mega Shine Lipgloss in La La: Wow, this shade is absolutely stunning! I also like how the applicator is slightly curvy to "hug" the lips. Oh and it smells very sweet, like candy! Yummy ^^

Lipstick in Tea Rose: I had quite a hard time deciding which shade to get as it's hard to tell how the colors will come out from the swatches on the NYX website, so I browsed the net for real swatches, and I finally decided to get this neutral pink. I still think it's a little too dark for my skintone, but then again, I'm very light, so maybe I just need to get used to it.

 Eyeshadow in Sensual: I totally have a thing for those gorgeous dark glittery shades.

Liquid Crystal Liner in Crystal Onyx and Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries: I searched the net for swatches of the Crystal Liners and Onyx is the only one that has a colored base, so I picked it. I've heard lots of good things about the Jumbo Eye Pencils, but this one creased on me after less than 1 hour )=

Rouge Cream Blush in Natural: This is my first cream blush, and the shade is perfect. However, I find it hard to blend on the cheeks, but maybe I just have to get used to it?

Merci Julie! 

Wow, I seriously feel like it's Christmas already! I've been spoiled! Thank you so much girlies! =D
