REVIEW:// aliexpress | finally a hit

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh have you ever been searching for something for so long that when you finally own it/have it you feel really awesome?

It was like that for me and bandage leggings.

I wanted bandages that were double layer and wouldn't fray the more I wore it

It seemed IMPOSSIBLE to find in stores.

Once I saw a pair on a mannequin at my mall's F21 but they were on hold for someone and the stock was OOS

[fail]

And then I found aliexpress.

Be careful of online shopping and always check reviews and choose the most reliable seeming one!

Always be wary of credit card protection~

That being said, these are my babies:

STOCK IMAGE I instagrammed:

AND what you get

The material is NOT vinyl/pleather or anything of the sort but it looks like it.

I CAN'T WAIT TO COORD THESE oh god

ALSO it's super stretchy fabric so if you're a larger size don't worry!

I've had complaints of people buying bandage leggings and the bandages fraying AS they put them on because they're plus sized

but fret not

these bandages are finished seams AND stretch so there's a lot of give

[I found a solution for the world's curvier fashion forward ladies!]

here's a link to the online store:

naughty naughty, they also sell BM replicas

but if you're strapped for cash and really want to see what a certain design looks like on you rather than on a stock model

then I guess it's okay

MAC// archie's girls collection LAUNCH

Whoa whoa whoa I must have been really keeping off the makeup blogs to not notice today was the launch date for North America [?] of MAC's new collection

Archie's Girls is vibrant fun and super nostalgic for those who read them as a child/teen/even now

The collection swatches beautifully and even if you have some dupes who can resist the packaging?

I'm glad they're doing a bit more daring with colors though. Especially Veronica.

My friend freaked out over them and of course she bought something from the collection. 

Got her hands on the Veronica blush which really really suited her darker complexion. It made her cheeks pop and she's super bubbly and fun so the blush made her look that much cuter~ :>

It looks violet in pan but on her it swatches to a deep warm pink.

Her haul today. Pictured if the box, the actual makeup

and a 5 dollar Stitch phone case I talked her into getting.

:9

Here's some snaps of the display at the mall I work at!

I also grabbed a description of the various products. Maybe something will catch your eye?

I myself am staring at the Pearlmatte face powder in 'Veronica's Blush' trying to resist buying it.

Hurry before it runs out! Burnaby's Metrotown MAC has already said they quickly ran out of stock this morning when girls lined up at 10 am [SO EARLY FOR ME] to haul!
