Sparkled Beauty

If you are not into cream contouring/ highlight products like what I showed you from Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting face palette yesterday, I have something in the opposite spectrum for you - Wet n Wild megaglo contouring palette in Dulce De Leche (new formula).

I know these contouring palettes (both old and new formulas) are not new in the US but only the new formula just arrived here, so I will review it on its own and will not compare it with the old formula.

Also formulated to be blendable and buildable, the palette features a matte powder duo to define and highlight your face. To my medium skin tone, the shades show up lightly, no dramatic effects.

I appreciate the matte highlighter, which appears on the skin in the same tone and brightening effect as the highlight shade in MUFE palette mentioned above. I especially like it under the brow bone.

The bronzing shade (I would not call it a contouring shade because of its warm undertone) is slightly darker than my skin tone, enough to add a bit of warmth to the frame of the face and light contouring on the side of my nose.

If you are used to cream products, the powder texture in this duo might need a bit of attention. They are a bit powdery, so a light tap on the surface with a loosely-packed brush is recommended instead of a swiping motion to avoid fallout. Once on, they blend easily and look natural.

I would recommend this palette if you just start out with sculpting your face, or if you prefer subtle effects. It is of a good size - 0.44oz/12.5g, I paid $5.99 for it at Superstore.

You know when I spotted the display of Wet n Wild Fall 2015 collection Here's to the Wild Ones at Superstore, I had to get some of the LE Megalast lipsticks, don't you? :)

5, to be exact - Celeb Sighting, On the Ave, Vintage Vibe, Photobomb and Nightcap. Decided to skip Coffee Buzz, seems to be too dark to wear most of the time.

I love the matte black tube - hinting the semi matte finish of the lipsticks (vs. the glossy tube in the permanent Megalast lipsticks), but the hazard of the bullet sticking out of the tube still needs to be mentioned.

Celeb Sighting turns out to be my favorite, despite the popular trend of darker lips for Fall. Orange red is always flattering on my skin tone. On the Ave is also quite bright, a fuchsia pink.

The last 3 colours look quite close in the tube but show different bases when swatched. Vintage Vibe has a fuchsia undertone, Photobomb red toned and Nightcap brown toned. You probably don't need all 3, so go with the base colour that suits your skin tone.

The lipsticks are 0.11oz/ 3.3g, 3.49 each.

This post is to prove how much Canada has been missing out in the beauty world. My CP package from the US arrived couple days ago. Awesome products, and we were able to pair up some godo sales too.

First off, Wet n Wild. The Maritimes is lucky to have Lawtons who carries the brand but not all LE collections make it up North.

Here are two of the latest trios they released in the Tough Girl collection - I Don't Do Camouflage and Enlisting for Beauty.

At this point, I am not sure Canada will get this collection as the last collection I saw was the Pop Art Craze.

Since these were on sale for $2 each, I did not want to miss the chance. Temptalia hasn't been giving the Pop Art Craze very good grades, I hope these are better.

Similarly, with Physicians Formula, certain products seem to be either not available here at all or out of stock all the time, as I couldn't find them anywhere.

When these were on BOGO plus +UP reward, I couldn't help myself:
- Matte eyeshadow quads in Canyon  Classics and Classic Nudes, $7.25 each reg.
- Shimmer Strips eyeliner trios in Warm Nude Eyes and Hazel Eyes (the later shade is available in Canada, I think), $11.95 each.

Notice a trend so far? I've been into matte and neutral eyeshadows lately, almost feel like I need to collect all the matte neutrals or something lol. I heard these are good ones.

These Milani rose blushes are LE and Canada won't be getting them, which made me want them even more.

I got Warm Petals and Romantic Rose, retail $9.49 a piece, also on Extra Bucks promo at the time.

Reviews on YT have been mixed though, some raved about them, some said they weren't anything special.

This Maybelline Dream Sun bronzing face illuminator ($9.49) was a LE product quite a while ago. I almost had no expectation of my friend being able to find it but she did. Feels like I own a piece of "history" lol.

Also from Maybelline are the LE Color Sensational lipsticks in Lavender Voltage and Violet Intrigue, reg. $7.99 on BOGO1/2.

The On the Runway collection hasn't showed up in Canada, I don't think. Maybelline Canada did mention the Color Show Vintage Leather will arrive soon though, so let's hope for the rest.

One of the latest raves in the drugstore range is Jordana's new products. The brand is not available in Canada, so no chance of me getting anything.

My friend got me the Twist and Shine moisturizing balm stains in Cranberry Crush, Sweet Pink and Honey Love ($2.99 each), and a 12hr Made to Last eyeshadow pencil in Eternal White, $3.99.

I could have asked for the whole line at this kind of price, but I tried to be good there :)

Same availability situation with Jordana is Flower Beauty. I told myself that I only wanted to try their cream eyeshadows and asked for 4 (4, $7.98 each).

First row: Orchid-ing Around, Midnight Garden.

Second row: Awesome Blossom and Time Willow Tell.

I haven't swatched them, but first impression, these have bulkier packaging which will take up more space in storage. I might look pass that if the quality is good :)

The biggest rave of them all recently is the L'Oreal (LE) La Lacque lip colours.

As I mentioned before on this blog, L'Oreal Canada confirmed that we won't get these, and they were not very easy to find in the US either.

My friend found Lacquer-ized, Never Lacque-ing and Lacque-onic for me, and even better, they were on sale, with +UP reward promo.

I am super happy to finally own these, almost want to ask for backups now. We might have better luck with the Revlon ColorBurst lacquer balms and matte balms as they are permanent, with wider colour range. The matter is when :)

Only a few nail polish from Salon Perfect, $3.98 each. Canada does get some the brand's core shades but none of the special releases. So unfair, as their permanent colours are boring, I have to say.

I got:
- Zapped, Jolt and Kaboom from the Summer collection
- Ivy League, Cafe Ole, Red Dahlia (dupe of the famous Chanel Malice) and Raisin the Roof from the Fall collection.

There are certainly many more products and brands that I wanted from the US, but I stopped there, for now :) I hope I don't make my fellow Canadian readers feel too bad. We certainly have some good Canadian brands here who start opening their doors to (at least) the US market - Annabelle/ Marcelle, Lise Watier, as examples. Why can't US brands do the same eh?

It has been a good mail week, and I found fun new products to play around with. Here they all are :)

Let's start with the Sephora VIB sale. My US CP package from Tiffany at Will Work for Makeup came in with items that either were a lot cheaper in the US or I couldn't get here.

Not much, just 2 Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders in Diffused Light and Dim Light, reg. $45 (vs. CAD52) each and a Lorac Pro palette, reg. $42 (vs. CAD55).

These cost $110 (after 15% VIB, no tax where Tiffany lives) instead of CAD155 (after tax here), even after shipping, it was a steal. It sucks to realize that with a VIB discount, Canadians just get to the amount that Americans pay regularly.

I did get a few things from my Sephora during the sale:
- Shu Uemura eyelash curler, reg. CAD24
- OCC lip tar in Nylon, CAD19
- Stila Countless Color pigments in Acoustic and Finale (LE), CAD29 each.

I see that there are 10 shades of these on Stila website, only 7 on Sephora. Naturally, I kinda want the 3 that aren't at Sephora lol - Center Stage (pink, peach & blue), Melody (purple) and Encore (champagne & brown). The collection is coming to selected Shoppers soon, I don't know how many shades. Review for the 2 shades I got is coming.

I regret not getting a NARS Boys Don't Cry (Pierre Hardy) blush and a Buxom coconut-scented Hot Escapes bronzer because of pinksofoxy :) Oh well, next time!

On to drugstore stuff. Karen from Frazzle and Aniploish was helping me hunt down goodies that I couldn't wait to get my hands on.

Yes, these :) They are the Maybelline Color Tattoo Duochromes that might show up in Canada later, but they are LE, I could not miss the chance to collect them all.

First row, from L-R: 10 Precious Pearl, 15 Blue Paradise, 20 Waves of White, 25 Shady Shores.

Second row: 30 Icy Mint, 35 Cool Crush, 40 Seashore Frosts and 45 Lavish Lavender.

I think Maybelline starts the numbering again just with this collection, so the numbers might happen to be the same with current shades, a bit confusing, but whatever. Swatches will be up soon.

More duochromes, in naii polish form this time.

Here are the Funky Fingers duochrome bunch with, from top left, clockwise, Venom, Pink Pixels, Mood Ring and Primrose.

Haven't got around to wear any of these yet, but they look awesome in the bottles. If Funky Fingers could do it, why can't others? I need more good duochromes, more brands should join the bandwagon!

Gotta give Funky Fingers an award for funny looking bottle shape lol. They are awkward to hold for pics.

More lemmings to fulfill, this is a Wet n Wild LE palette galore :)

In the background are the Color Icon eyeshadow medleys with a MegaLiner liquid liner attached, in 34120 and 34121 (no names).

In the front are the Color Icon eyeshadow palettes in Nude Awakening and Going in the Wild (LE).

No sign of these in Canada yet, at this point, unfortunately.

I was so happy to get my hands on the Jesse's Girl Julie G Frosted Gumdrops collection for cheap. It was on Groupon US for $13.99, I begged Karen to get me one.

From L-R: Blueberry Fizz (blue), Rock Candy (light green), Crushed Candy (lilac), Tangerine Dream (yellow orange), Sugar Rush (orange red) and Hot Cinnamon (raspberry red).

Making a rare appearance at the top is Maybelline Vivid lipstick in Blazen Berry. This is one of the two shades Canada missed out on, the one I wanted the most. Yes, I ask Tiffany for 2 tubes of it, just cause.

And you know these highly anticipated Rimmel Apocalips, don't you?

Rimmel said these won't get to the US next year, I don't even know if Canada will get them. And hell no, I won't wait till then to find out.

I got Apocaliptic and Stellar off echemist for $7.25 each, free shipping. Not too bad!

Wore them over the weekend, let's just say they are shockingly amazing. You gotta try at least one!!! Need swatches to prove it?

What's new in town? Milani shelf at Lawtons is fully stocked with new products that American bloggers have been raving about. It didn't help that the brand is 25% off this week with bonus Airmiles :)

I bought:
- Eyeshadow primer, reg. $9.99
- Multitasker face powder in Medium, reg. $10.49
- Color Statement lipsticks in 20 Uptown Mauve, 24 Black Cherry and 26 Nude Cream, reg. $6.99
- Color Statement lip liner in True Red, reg. $3.99.

Could have got a lot more with the eyeshadow pencils, blushes, etc. but I stopped there lol.

A brand new Cover Girl Flamed Out collection has showed up as well. Cover Girl is 20% off at Lawtons, so I caved.

I got 5 shades of eyeshadow pencils. From top to bottom: 300 Silver Flame, 350 Melted Caramel Flame, 335 Ashen Glow Flame, 345 Ice Flame and 310 Red Hot Flame, reg. $7.49.

Just a note, the names are only on the plastic wraps, once you peel them off, you are left with just numbers printed on the pencils. I hate referring to a shade by number instead of name. Frustrating!

The 4 eyeshadow pots don't come with plastic seals, so only numbers, no names. I got 345 (dark pink), 315 (blue), 355 (dark brown) and 325 (green), reg. $4.99.

Some good news from Lawtons. First, they now carry Wet n Wild, including the Fergie nail polish (not makeup). Product selections are similar to what we see at Walmart and Superstore, but Lawtons run sales more often :)

Second, those with good eyes will notice those little boxes on the bottom right corner in the pic. Yes, Real Technique brush sets have arrived as well, prices range from $19.99 to $23.99. Individual brushes will be available later in the summer.

Not pictured, but I also got an awesome deal at La Senza with their 40% off weekend promo. Sale on top of sale, and the loyalty discount, I got about 70% off regular price for the Body Kiss bras they have just launched. They are kind of awesome :)

I have done a lot of swatching and testing over the weekend, so stay tuned for reviews. Hope every had a good weekend and some good family time with loved ones.

It has been a while since I got a bunch of W7 shades in the Nail polish haul last August. Thought it was time to pull one out to try.

This is W7 Metallic Venus, a purple blue duochrome. I was feeling a dark mood one day, and this fulfilled it. Dark but with a coloured kick. The world needs more duochromes with gorgeous shimmers like this :) I feel bad neglecting these W7 colours, they are great, just a bit hard to come by.

There is an important appearance/ hidden review of Wet n Wild Fergie nail polish in this post as well, stay tuned!

Here I did two thicker coats of Metallic Venus for full opacity, 3 thin coats would do as well. No application issue, and the brush is just the right size.

Talking about application and brush, Wet n Wild Fergie nail polish offers a totally different story.

I was excited when the WnW wall display at Walmart has these and bought Dutchess by the way it looked. It is a beautiful teal blue with different sizes of glitters (fine, round, hex) in blue, teal and hot pink.

Right? It looks super gorgeous in the bottle. When swatched, it was sheer, so I layered two coats of it on top of Metallic Venus on the ring finger.

It dried semi matte, which I didn't expect but I loved a surprise anyway. It would have been a perfect pairing between Metallic Venus and Dutchess (well, they looked awesome together here) if the brush did not give me such a hard time.

The bottle of the Fergie line is taller than normal WnW design, and someone decided that a wide brush is needed for that. Wide brushes do offer faster application but when they are too wide to fit through the bottle neck, we have a problem!

Yes, there is the solution to decant this into a different bottle with a good brush, but I shouldn't need to.

Here are the 2 brushes side by side - W7 on the left (same size as China Glaze brushes) and WnW Fergie on the right.

The WnW Fergie brush was huge! It was too wide and thick, makes it hard to not touch your cuticles while painting your nails (mess #1), and hard to dip the brush back in the bottle for the next swipe without flaring it or a few bristles getting caught by the bottle neck (mess #2).

I can't imagine the shape of this brush after about 3-4 mani, if it doesn't fall apart, at least it would look like a dog had gone at it (not that a dog would eat a nail polish brush, but you get my point). I love Dutchess as a colour but it is probably not worth fighting with the brush for.

So Metallic Venus is a good nail polish, and Dutchess is a so so. Have a safe day out there fighting with travelling after a snow storm, Haligonians.

I don't get why it took me so long to wear the Wet n Wild Color Icons. I was so eager to receive them through a swap, then they sat in a box. Waiting no more, today I have Wet n Wild It's All in the Cut to show you.

I know this post is late, and this line is not even available in Canada (so far) but you can at least get its dupe - Sally Hansen Be-Jeweled from the Gem Crush line - which is available at Walmart and Shoppers now. You kinda need it :)

It's All in the Cut has beautiful purple and pink glitters (in different sizes) packed in a clear base. The bottle looks tiny but it actually houses 10ml, not bad at all.

And like I said before, with glitters like this, I always use a base to help with opacity and easier removal after. With this mani, the base is Joe Fresh Hula, a pale baby pink.

The first pic is under weak sunlight, and the second is with flash. You can see the pink glitters coming out to play here.

And here too. You might notice the colour on my ring finger is a little darker than the rest. I did a thicker layer on it, just to see what difference it made. So lilac or darker purple, your choice.

This polish is an absolute love. Again, case in point, awesomeness can come in small packaging.

How was everyone's Easter? Overdosed on chocolate yet? I did a bit of shopping at Bluenotes in the weekend for their black label coloured jeans. I love now have almost every colour I wanted, except yellow.

Also participated in the Bay 20% F&F sale - I got a Topshop dress and BCBG Generation bracelets online, and some fashion jewelry BOGO in store. Surprisingly, I didn't get much makeup. A switch in interests, maybe :)

Yep, the bus strike is still going (on the 25th day now), so still no major weekend hauls. To be honest, buses not running did well for my wallet's sake but not my mental health lol.

I have a cute nail polish for you today, from the new Spoiled line by Wet n Wild, courtesy of the bf. I haven't seen it in Canada unfortunately. The line is a winner in my book, great colours and finishes, very inexpensive ($1.99 a piece) and good colour payoff.

The base of this mani is another Wet n Wild Color shade - Blue Jitters from the Insomnia collection, with the tiny bottle. The name doesn't make sense as the glitters are purple. They show up better in the bottle than on the nails, and dries semi-matte, which is a shame.

On the middle and ring fingers is Wet n Wild Papa-Paparazzi from the Spoiled line. Now you see why I wanted a purple base?

Note the interesting bottle design, not the typical Wet n Wild shape. The glitters are in a sheer purple/ pink tinted base. I see silver the most, but at certain angles, I also spot multi-coloured glitters, a winner for me! I'm hoping to get a few more shades from this line, especially when they are on sale this week. Get to CVS, American ladies!

See how gorgeous Papa-Paparazzi is in the bottle, and on the nails too? You can also see the purple glitters on Blue Jitters here. All together, it is a purple-licious mani :)

Did you guys find some great sales or haul something great last weekend? I'd love to hear. Squirt and I took advantage of being stuck inside most weekends to do some spring cleaning, giving bags and bags of stuff to my friends and charity. Feel good to see some space in the apartment.

I think during the strike, my attention splits between my melmers and my closet. Good to have a bit of a balance, right? Have a great day!

It was a rainy Friday, I wasn't planning doing anything after work other than my regular Lawtons round as usual. And oh boy, was I glad I did!

First off, some of you might have seen this display for L'Oreal Fall 2011 collection. That's what they call it for Canada, I am losing a bit of hope that we would be getting the whole Project Runway collection now. Why?

Because the 2 nail polish in this display - Cockatoo's Mystery and Owl's Lust are part of the Project Runway collection. Where is the rest? Nobody knows.

In the lower left corner are 3 brand new (matte) L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadows - Sweet Strawberry, Coconut Shake and Pebble Grey. No testers, so I didn't swatch, but a blogger told me they have weird texture and aren't as good as the original Infallibles. Be warned!

Then, it was getting ridiculous when I got to the clearance corner, I couldn't believe it.

First I found the displays of Miss Universe and Nice Stem collections with red stickers. They weren't there last week. I did my best to control myself and only got It's My Year and I Lily Love You, CAD4.99 each.

It was late after Halloween, so the Wet n Wild On the Prowl display was all gone except Cougar Attack and Tangled in My Web laying around for CAD1.49 each. Mine!

Another shock. Remember I told you Lawtons got the whole display full of Del Sol Trick or Treat this year? Now the whole display was on 75% off. I got a few bottles to gift some friends. If you want it, let me know.

And lastly, not any less exciting, the Revlon Masquerade collection was there too. I grabbed Midnight Haze, Royal Cloak (gasp!) and Golden Charm, CAD1.37 each. So cheap!!!

Continuing with more LA Splash products being cleared out.

- From top to bottom: LA Splash liquid eyeliner in Tectonic Glitz, Sparkling Red Sea and Onyx, CAD1.74 each. I wanted to venture out with more non-traditional liner colours, even though I suck badly with liquid liners.

- From L-R: LA Splash Golden Moss, Starfish Silver, Abyss and Sparkling Wave, CAD1.24 each.

Note that only certain colours of these 2 product lines are on clearance, not all.

And Lastly, a LA Colors Color Craze mini glitter set, only CAD1.24 for Squirt to have fun with. No individual names. She also came home with some Halloween candy at half price from Lawtons too.

Hope this post is helpful for those of you who live near a Lawtons or are doing swaps/ CPs for friends. The staff told me they normally have LE or seasonal displays out for certain amount of weeks, then cleared them out. That explains why I keep having good luck finding great sales there. It takes a bit of hunting, as not all stores put clearance on at the same time.

Have a great weekend!

I have no idea where time went lately. Every morning I woke up, I kept asking myself what day it was and whether I had to go to work. Crazy stage of my life, I think.

This is an over-due post, as I got these items way back at Christmas. They were CP'ed for me by the bf at US drugstores. Every time they had a good sale, I asked him to get a few things. And he ended up putting them in a gift box for me at Christmas, didn't want me to pay him back :)

First batch, from Ulta sale:
- NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils in Rocky Mountain Green, Electric Blue and Gold. I was looking for the 4 new ones that came out last summer, but the store didn't have Purple Velvet and Pure Gold.
- Physician's Formula Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner for Green Eyes. There is quite a mark-up for this item in Canada, I didn't want to buy it here.
- LA Splash nail polish, from L-R: Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Jellyfish, Golden Seahorse, Pretty Jellyfish and Terra Beach.

LA Splash has recently arrived at Lawtons, but the nail polish are CAD4.99 here (I think), so US sale still beats it.

Can't remember which store exactly this is from, but it gotta be a BOGO or BOGO 1/2 sale.
- Milani Liquif' Eye Metallic Eyeliner pencil in Silver. One of the best sellers from Milani, so I gotta get one.
- Milani Lip Flash gloss pencils in Hot Flash and Photo Flash. Lots of raves for these as well, review is coming.
- Milani Gems nail polish. This shade was certainly the most wanted, but I kinda regret I didn't ask for other shades from this collection too, as they are all fabulous. I wore Gems for New Years Eve, feeling all bling-y :)

More nail polish:
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Purple Fiesta and Concrete
- Sally Hansen Complete Salon in Problem Child and Sequin Scandal.

These aren't new or anything, but they were 50% off :) My Melmer drawer for Sally Hansen is overflowing, just because it has so many lines, and keeps coming out with new shades. Xtreme Wear and Complete Salon are the most popular among all Sally Hansen in my stash.

- Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss in Coral Reef. I finally got a hold of this shade (for cheap), as it was a LE colour in Canada up until recently when it was released with a new collection.
- Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick in Red Velvet and Wine Room. Heard quite a lot about these lipsticks, and they were BOGO. What not to love?
- L'Oreal HIP shadow pigment in Intrepid. Can't remember exactly now but I think this was the only item I got at CVS 75% off sale. It is the most beautiful duochrome shade among the HIP pigments, IMO.

As I tried to put the stuff away after Christmas, I went into quite a withdrawal, seeing how much makeup I have. Have been "enforcing" a low buy on myself since. My defense is I got them on sale, but still I need to downsize, right?

These EOS lip balms, however, are must-haves. As I was frustrated not being able to find them around here, there was a promo where you technically could get them for free in the US. The bf found Lemon Drop (SPF15) and Summer Fruit for me.

Very recently, I saw the Honeysuckle (green) ones at my Shoppers, sold for CAD5.99 though. Only if you are still looking for them.

Hope everyone is doing well. Today is the second day with freezing temperature we have here. We are talking -30 degrees (for those in the US, it's -22 Fahrenheit). And we are right next to the ocean, so the wind is just killing my face, on top of that. Now that is Canadian winter for you :)

A quick post today, ladies. Thought I was done with updating you with new products when I found a new display. This is a great news for my local readers only, unfortunately, cause it's at Lawtons.

I saw this display at Lawtons yesterday. It is the Wet n Wild Pixie Holiday collection with the ColorIcon Eye kits (LE) that we have been waiting for so long. I almost gave up the though that Canada would ever get them. Lawtons just stocks it a day or two ago, totally new.

The display has 3 slots for each kit, and this was taken before I grabbed some for myself. So if you live near a Lawtons, go check it out as soon as you can. The kits retail CAD6.99 each (vs. $4.99 in the US).

For those of you in other provinces, I am hoping Rexall or Superstore will follow suit to have these out on their shelves, seeing how the Wet n Wild's Vixen's Mittens made an appearance lately.

Here are what I got:
- Sugar Plum Fairy with bonus purple eyeliner pencil, and
- Night Elf with bonus black eyeliner pencil.

I picked the 2 that I most wanted. They each have at least one colour that I'd love to own. The other 2 are nice too, but I thought I already have too many similar colours.
I haven't swatched them yet, but based on what I saw on blogs, the colours in these LE palettes are all shimmery. Keep that in mind when you shop and maybe grab a palette from their regular line for matte shades.

A bonus haul pic: I found the L.A Girl Metal collection on clearance at Lawtons (downtown location) for CAD.74 a bottle. Couldn't believe my eyes. These were CAD2.99 reg. Lots of nail bloggers raved about them, I thought they would be permanent at Lawtons. Not anymore.

- First row, from L-R, the warm shades: Gold Plated, Antique Gold, Bronze Medal, Trilogy and Brass.
- Second row, the cool shades: Alkaline Blue, Metallic Olive and Sterling Silver.

I grabbed all the colours there were in the basket. Bet you I am missing some as there are more than 10 shades in this line, but I'm happy with what I found. Cheers!

Have you been browsing around your drugstores lately? Tune in to see what I found recently at mine :) Good stuff, I promise.

I found this lovely display at one of the Shoppers I went. Click the pic to enlarge :) Can you tell what the line is?

Yep, the Sally Hansen Natural Beauty, inspired by Carmindy, has officially arrived at Shoppers :)

As far as I can see, we have quite a good selection of their products.

- First shelf: Your Skin makeup foundation, Airbrush Spray makeup and Luminizing Face primer.
- Second shelf: Luminous Matte Pressed powder, Translucent Loose powder, Natural Highlighter.
- Third shelf: Sun Glow Powder bronzer, Powder/ Cream blush
- Fourth shelf: Eyeliner, Gloss
- Last shelf: Eyeshadow and Mascara.

I was in a hurry, didn't note down the price. According to Carmindy on twitter, she is showcasing the line on The Shopping Channel as well. More access for us Canadians.

Also found the 3-piece Holiday nail polish sets from Joe Fresh, retail CAD10 each.

There are 3 colour combinations to choose from.
- Left set: Midas, Imperial and Dupioni. This is probably the set I would get, as I kinda like all 3 shades.
- Middle set: Onyx, Steel and Beet - Steel and Onyx are quite similar, except one has pretty shimmer. Beet is a cream burgundy.
- Right set: Cherry, Sweet Tart and Wine. A little too much red to my liking, but if you are a fan of the colour(s), this is not a bad set for the holiday.

Joe Fresh nail polish are 3 for $10 anyway, so the sets aren't a saving, and you also don't have a choice of what colours to get in a set. I assume these colours are LEs though, as I didn't see them before from the regular line. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Another item that caught my eyes was the Joe Fresh 5-pc Acrylic Brush set, retails CAD19.

By the look of it, the set includes:
- Blush brush (reg. CAD10)
- Concealer brush (reg. CAD4)
- Large eyeshadow brush (reg. CAD5)
- Crease brush (reg. CAD4), and
- Eyeliner brush (reg. CAD4).

Cost wise, this set is good for your money, as you basically get the 2 small brushes for free. I didn't compare the size of these to the individual brushes Joe Fresh has, but I don't think they are minis/ travel size either.

I kinda wish they include the foundation brush, but it would probably jack up the price of the set too much, a hard selling point for it. Can't say I tried their brushes before, can't comment on the quality.

And look, Superstore, for some miracle reason, all of a sudden stocks Wet n Wild LE collection. This is the latest Vixen's Mittens, sells for CAD2.99 a bottle.

I didn't expect Canada would have it that fast, but here we are :)

A warning though, these bottles are very tiny (6.5ml, if I remember correctly). The colours are nice though, very glittery/ shiny, some are quite unique.

Have you seen them around yet?

I have been in a crazy hunt for Annabelle's Hype and Insomnia collections. For some reason, my regular Shoppers (and some others) did not have them, period.

Now look what I found at Superstore: the Insomnia collection, lol.

It's unpredictable what Superstore would have on their shelves, LE or not, so it's kinda exciting not knowing what to expect (well, sometimes) :)

I had a fun time browsing the displays. Would have played around a bit more if I didn't have to go upstairs for the gym - it was Zumba time, couldn't miss it :)

One more interesting find of the week: Wet n Wild Beauty bags, CAD10.

This is the Canadian version of the Wet n Wild train cases that the Americans have been lusting after. No train case here, just a clear plastic bag, lol.

I took pictures of both sides of the bag to show you the shades. All bags are the same, i.e. there is only 1 choice of colour combo.

The front features a Beauty Simplicity Look, with:
- Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Sweet as Candy
- Color Icon Blusher Pearlescent Pink
- Mega Last nail colour in Sugar Coat
- Mega Last lip colour in Think Pink
- Mega Length mascara in Very Black.

The back goes for a Hollywood Glam Look:
- Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Don't Steal My Thunder
- Color Icon Blusher Heather Silk
- Mega Last nail colour in Caught Red-Handed
- Mega Last lip colour in Stoplight Red
- Mega Plump mascara in Very Black.

Note that all products in the bag are not full size. They are all a bit smaller than the regular products on the shelf.

This is a good way to try out a bunch of Wet n Wild products at a good price. They are good for travel too. I just wish we had a train case for them. What do you think about the bag?

Have a great day, everyone! Do tell me what you found at your stores, I'd love to hear.
