Walmart Haul

I went to Walmart today with the intention of getting hair dye and of course I walked out with more than I intended.

Garnier Olia Oil Powered Colour in 6.1 Light Ash Brown $10.96CAD. I wanted to try this one because it has no ammonia and it is formulated with 60% oil blend with flower oil. I wanted to dye my hair but was hoping this wouldn't be as damaging. I also picked up Clean & Clear soothing eye makeup remover $5.47CAD; I used this before and it was on sale. It is decent for the price and since my cleansing oil does a pretty good job at removing most of my makeup.

I also picked up the L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Pepsy Coral which I got to wear on top of MAC Paint Pot in Perky. They both have a nice sheen to it and it is a pinky coral colour which is great for the spring. 

The L'Oreal Pepsy Coral has more of a pink undertone while perky is more peachy, so hopefully it'll be a good combination.

Quick easy all over the lid colour for lazy days

gorgeous shipper :D great for lower lash line & inner corner highlighting:D

Been using it for blending colour along with Flashback Silver and it makes it more natural. Drugstore very affordable and it does a great job regardless of the colour I use.

Perfect for everyday brows where it is natural. No sharpening needed and it is thin for easy applications.

This is what I have been using for the pass month and I adore it :D

L'Oreal Infalliable Eyeshadow

This was recently on sale at Shopper's Drug Mart for $5.99CAD so I picked up the Flashback Silver.

Forward >>

I enjoy the texture and look of these packed eyeshadows and was very amused by their texture and the fact that I did not have something like this in my collection so thought I give into the hype after reading and hearing many stellar reviews. And it did not disappoint because their packed eyeshadows have amazing staying power with great colour payoff and the shimmer is just WOW. 

I find the the Flashback Silver has a slight tint of purple and that is the reason why I purchased it because it is my favourite colour and I can wear it without being too bright (there is nothing wrong with bright colours but its just not me).

Pros:

• great pigmentation
• decent staying power
• no scent 
• drugstore pricing & very accessible
• interesting texture
• last you a long time 
• comparable to Armani Eyes to Kill
• can use with finger for all over lid colour
• easy application
• easy to blend

Cons:

• all shimmer shades
• limited colour range
• not a big fan of using it with a brush

Will repurchase more when they come out with other colours that interest me.

L'Oreal Sale Haul

Better late than never, there is what I purchased from 2012 L'Oreal sale. There wasn't much I needed and nothing really jumped out at me where I must buy. I had a bit of self restraint and I only purchased 4 nail polishes. The Essie nail polishes were $6CAD and the L'Oreal nail polish was $2.99CAD. What a steal!!

I have used the L'Oreal one and the colour is true to the bottle after 2 applications and when you set it with a top coat it lasts for 5 days. I am currently wearing it on my toes, but didn't think you guys would want to see that so I will save you guys the trouble of having to deep clean your eyeballs. I personally don't have anything against feet since I deal with much worst at work. 

If you want swatches please leave a comment.

Week L'Oreal True Match Foundation

I recently hauled this from Walmart for $9.97CAD which I thought it was really good deal.  I have heard such great review about this product and decided to give it a try since it was on sale and one can never have too many foundations.  Initial applications: I did notice small particles shimmer and it reminded me of Revlon Photo Ready foundation (which I dislike to the max). I have small amount of pores but I still did not want to draw attention to them and the purpose of a foundation is to hide my pores. So initially I was a little scared until I finished my entire face and took a step back from the mirror.  The finish is flawless and unless you are looking at me from 1 inch away right underneath the light, the sparkles are hardly noticeable (according to my boyfriend). 

This is a lighter coverage foundation and it provides just enough coverage for me without the cake-yee feel. The colour match is surprisely decent for my NC37-40 skin tone. So far so good and it held up well during the day when set with MAC Skinfinish Natural. 

Will update when the week is up. =)

I've also heard good things about the True Match blush, might give it a try if I see it on sale since I already have an abundance of blushes.

Walmart Haul

Walmart is probably one of my favourite place to kill time. I can have nothing to buy and nothing to do but come out with a bunch of goodies. I find their prices to be very reasonable and much cheaper than Shopper's Drug Mart here in Canada.  Their regular price items will often be much cheaper than sale prices at Shopper's. When I walk into a drugstore, I expect cheap thrills and that is one of the biggest reasons why I frequently go to Walmart. 

I was working near a newly opened Walmart and I HAD to go check it out.  I did not need anything in particular but walked out $22 poorer which isn't all that bad since I did get some necessities as well.  I was running out of Clinique Take the Day Off makeup remover Buy Here and have read that Neutrogena's makeup remover is very comparable at a fraction of the price.  I got my Clinique makeup remover way back when during a MAC warehouse sale so I don't remember the exact price but it was for sure in $20 range at most counters.  I have been meaning to try the Neutrogena one and it happened to be on sale for $9.67CAD. =) Perfect timing huh?? I have used this product and it does do a decent job at removing my waterproof eye makeup. This remover requires you to shake vigorously before use due to it's duo phase formula. I simply put some on a cotton pad and soak my eyes for 10 seconds then gently pulled downwards to get all the stubborn waterproof mascara off. So far I like ;)

I also picked up the Wet n Wild eyeshadow trio in Silent Treatment $2.97CAD and the L'Oreal True Match Foundation $9.97CAD. Come to think of it, I got all these items on sale!! SCORE =) In previous post I stated that I had too many foundation and that I keep buying new ones without giving the ones I have a fair chance, but here I am with a new foundation again. LOL

The Wet n Wild eyeshadow trios have been on my radar for a long time, and I do own 2 of the 6 eyeshadow palettes already.  The reason that I held out for this long was because of the price, the 6 eyeshadow palette was cheaper than the trios which made no sense to me at all. Anyways they finally went on sale so I decided to pick up Silent Treatment which was the most appealing one to me.  I have been very impress with the quality of the 6 eyeshadow palette especially for the price and I am sure I will equally be impress with the trio as well. 

(Colour choice recommended by Temptalia's Foundation Matrix)

I did get a chance to dry it on my skin and this would be a good shade for those that are NC37-40 like myself. 

$3.99CAD
