Quo Beauty Holiday Boudoir Set

And while I have always been very vocal about my hatred for cream and powder products in the same palette at least in this one the cream products are in a drawer underneath the rest of the products.

And here are the blushes swatched:

New Soap & Glory Holiday Sets At Great Holiday Prices!

Look what I spied at Shoppers Drug Mart yesterday?! Holiday sets from Soap And Glory! The best part? They range from $15-$20! I kind of want them all!

Soap for the best promo image I can not find!

Now it seems Sephora (which does not sell Soap & Glory to us Canadians) has these sets as well:

So its possible that we will see more coming into Shoppers Drug Mart in the coming days/weeks!

New GWP At Shoppers Drug Mart

So this is the new GWP that will be starting...... This Saturday I think..... Anyways, its starting soon and free with a $125 purchase from a Beauty Boutique. The gift looks ok, but the it seems far disappointing in comparison to the one that Murale just had. That being said, this fake Longchamp tote looks awesome and might be a reason by itself to pick up some goodies!

Beauty Shopping For A Good Cause

Shoppers Drug Mart had bags on sale for $10 with all the money going to breast cancer. So really, it was a donation to a good cause and I just happened to get makeup!

First Bag: 

Each one of these items (except maybe the soap) all retail for far more than $10, so this was an awesome bag!

And the second bag:

Everything together ($20 spent):

Never happened in on one of these before, and I really like the concept of bags that are clear so its not a mystery what you are getting inside. Reviews on these products are all to come in later posts!

Shoppers Fabulous Beauty Bonus - How Fabulous Is It Really?

For this week at Shoppers Drug Mart if you spend $75 in beauty you get this beauty bag. I have to say, I have never been so unhappy with a beauty gift. If this was a gift with purchase of $30 or even MAYBE $50 I would have been disappointed. At SEVENTY FIVE FREAKING DOLLARS?!! I'm down right angry. Ok, I am really not angry. Just mad I made a trip to the store in order to get this crap. And its pretty much whats in here.

It's a very big bag that is pink. If it wasn't pink I would probably think the bag was awesome. The truth is the bag itself is kind of awesome other than being pink. Yes, pink is a dirty four letter word on this blog. HATE PINK! haha.

Look at all the foil packets!

And some perfume viles, along with one of those paper folded over samples that comes in magazines.

The only deluxe samples and stuff that belongs in a gwp in my opinion (especially one with a $75 requirement) are these:

A drugstore foundation sample in a shade that will work for about 10% of you (seriously, no one I work with is a light-medium), a bioderma sample that would be awesome if it could be sealed or closed or even stand up to allow you to use it more than once, but this is essentially a foil sample of an awesome product. A gosh liner is great! I will add it to the other 203 black liners I have (ok, ok, this is actually kind of a great thing to have in the bag, just boring and not needed by most beauty addicts).

All in all, its NOT what I expect from a $75 beauty boutique gift with purchase. That being said, if this review makes you want to run out and get it, the gift is available until Friday or stock runs out, whichever comes first.

Quo Face Palette

Another new face palette is this one. Much smaller than that GINORMOUS one that I showed you earlier today. In it comes 3 blushes, two bronzers, and 16 shadows. Very nice shade range.

At only $22 this is such a great budget friendly price for what you get, and while the bronzers seem far far far too dark for my glow in the dark skin, its a good mix of matte and shimmer, and enough range for day looks, night looks and in between!

Quo Blockbuster Palette Super Palette

Oh my goodness. This palette is BIG. And by big, I mean BIG!!

I will admit. The fact that there are creams and powders mixed together automatically makes me not want it.

But I am loving the blushes, bronzers and highlighters that line the bottom!

The details:

This is a pretty good price for Quo ringing up at only $45 for the entire set, but again, those 15 pots on the left hand side (10 glosses and 5 liners) turn me off. As far as drugstore products go Quo is pretty decent quality, though I think it is nothing compared to even the lesser middle brands sold at stores such as Sephora (ie: too faced, stila, lorac). That being said they arent bad, and this is a lot of product options for a reasonable price tag.

Shoppers Drug Mart Spring Beauty Bonus

Ok, so one of the best things about Shoppers Drug Mart aside from the amazing rewards system (basically, if you time your purchases right, every $225 gets you $100 back in a gift card (literally!) is the seasonal gift with purchases. I am usually not blown away by them myself (same reason I am not a beauty box addict. I am too picky). But OMG! I knew it was packed, but I am totally impressed with the contents! Very heavy on the anti aging and firming products, but still enough value that even yours truly is totally pleased!

Now this was free with a $125 purchase and is available until day end today! I am so sorry it took so long to get this up! Let me know if you picked this up and what you thought of it if you did!
