Weekend finds

Posted by Halifax @ Sparkled Beauty

How was everyone's weekend? Squirt and I dragged our sleepy head out Sunday morning for some dim sum, much needed.

My Elf order when they had that 50% off sale came in last week, thought I can show you the stuff I got.

- SPF45 Sunscreen UVA/ UVB Protection in Sheer. Supposed to be a translucent powder, infused with Aloe Vera extract, Grape Seed extract, Vitamins A, C and E. Can't wait to try this out, extra protection will put my mind at ease at least
- Makeup Mist & Set with Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber, Vitamins A, C and E
- Makeup Lock & Seal with a mini Blending brush
- Small Stipple brush. Considering the size, this would be more for blush or highlight.

Continue on:
- Nail polish in Fairy Dust, a flakie :)
- Matte Lip colors in Praline and Rich Red. I have heard good things about these, couldn't help but picking up a few to try
- Luscious Liquid lipstick in Strawberry. Didn't mean to order this one, as I have one or two from the last order, just didn't remember lol.

Still beating myself up for not browsing around a bit more, as I totally forgot to order the baked blushes and eyeshadows. Hate to pay shipping again to order more, so I'll wait it out.

I did participate in the surprise gift card event at Shoppers on Saturday, mostly for household items though.

Etival (a Canadian brand exclusive to Shoppers) is running a promotion until August 3 where you can get a free Urgen-C product (value between $20 - $38) when you spend $20 on Etival products. The icing on top is that the Urgen-C line is on big discount at the moment.

I picked up 2 of the Urgen-C Hydrating Surge mask with Multi-Pro, Vitamins A, E and COQ10 (reg. $20 each, 50% off), and get the Urgen-C Renewing Polishing treatment with Multi-Pro and Sepicalm for free (reg. $21, on sale for $9 right now).

I went to Sally with a sheer hope to find Orly Feel the Vibe collection but it's long gone. Saw a Nina Ultra Pro display with all neon/ bright shades. I'm not sure they are new, but I grabbed Punki Purple and Blu Blaze, on sale $3.99 each till the end of the month. By the way, found the Orly collection at Winners but the shades I wanted were not there. Check your store if you want some.

Couldn't resist Orly Sashay My Way on the display, $8.99 with Sally card. Missed out on the orange and green shade with similar glitter textures :(

The extra 50% off clearance was on when I went, so I got Orly Decades of Dysfunction and Buried Alive, $2.50 each.

Have a great Monday, ladies!

  1. Don't think you missed out on the green and orange Orly glitters, they only released 5 of the 22 that are coming out so far :)

  3. What!! I was at Sally's this week and was not given an extra 50% off the sale :( I I did have a coupon for $10 off a $10 purchase, so I guess it kind of worked out.

    1. That's odd, I thought sales are the same in all their stores. It lasted till last Sunday, I heard. How did you get a $10 off $10 coupon?
