Sparkled Beauty

I interrupt the regular posting of flyer deals today for some important product announcements.

It has been confirmed that my beloved Marcelle AC Solution line has been discontinued. I spotted red clearance stickers on the line at Lawtons a week or two ago but assumed it was a product revamp until yesterday :( I am really sad to see it go and will stock up my essentials. You can click on the link above to read my review.

On a positive note, it has also been confirmed that Essence will make its official arrival to Canada drugstores on March 1.

Now, if you are a long time reader of the blog, you might remember I found a big Essence display (pictured) at Shoppers back in September 2010. A lot of you were very excited about that but most couldn't find the display in their stores. I am not sure if it was a test run of the brand in Canadian market. There were also some LE collections (Denim Wanted, I remember) released then but they were gone pretty unnoticed.

I don't have any further details of the March launch of Essence, so we just have to keep an eye out for their arrival. I'm most excited about their nail polish, especially LE collections. They are cheap and fun.

EDIT: Shoppers will start launching out Essence on February 27, expecting all Shoppers to have the brand by March 24. Check your store for dates.
