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.

Covergirl 2013 Spring collections ;)

I was at my local Walmart yesterday and I noticed a shiny new display and couldn't help but to check it out! As you can see there is a variety of bright shades and this collection has 1 mascara, 10 shades of eyeshadow crayons and 13 new eyeshadow pots. Note all the vibrant colours especially the bright blue eyeshadow. They also have a variety of different crayons including a champagne color which I might have to try although Milani just released Naturaly Chic Shadow Eyez (musing of a muse).

Physicians Formula Bronze BOOster

This is currently on sale at Wal-mart for $12.40CAD along with most of the Physician's Formula products.  It comes in 2 shade: Light to Medium & Medium to Dark. The packaging is very high quality with a brush underneath which I don't use. As you can see from the picture the cash is a bronze colour brown case that makes it look fancy which I appreciate. PF is the pricer drugstore brand and I have not found a product that super impress me beside their liquid eyeliner. 

Fast Forward for swatches -->

I have read a lot of great reviews on this bronzer and since it was on sale, I thought I give it a try. It has a slight shimmer that is barely noticeable on the face. Not orange/red, has a nice light sandy brown. I got the Medium to Dark shade (for reference, I am NC37-NC40) and it is a perfect contour shade and it gives me a nice glow when applied to the forehead and cheeks.

It has a soft texture and I noticed powder flew everywhere if I tapped the powder too aggressively with my brush. So the key here is to tap lightly into the powder and you will get the perfect amount on your brush (I used the Real Technique blush brush) because this bronzer is very pigmented and can show up dirty/red if applied too heavily. This is a $21CAD bronzer if not discounted, which is really pricey for drugstore but if you can catch it on sale, it might be worth your while. And if you're in the market for a complete matte formula, I would recommend NYC Sunny bronzer or Too Face Chocolate Bronzers.

Leave a comment on any PF products I should try:)

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

Maybelline's Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow

Everyone has already heard about these and they have been compared to MAC paint pots and I think they are much better. The colour variety is amazing although I do wish there were more matte shades (tough as taupe being the only one that caught my eyes). They color payoff is amazing with great staying power. I work 12 hr shifts and I can still see it at the end of the day but the colour will fade slightly. It also depends what I've done that day as well, I do notice some creasing without a primer if I was really busy that day and sweating a bucket full! All on all I think it is amazing for the price. Unfortunately we do not have a CVS or Walgreen in Canada there we do not have any of this BOGO half deal :(. I got mine at Walmart for $6CAD when they were on sale. Shopper's is selling them for at least $9.99CAD plus tax !! ( I almost buy most of my drugstore beauty products from Walmart just because it is that much cheaper)!

The colours I own are Tough as Taupe, Too Cool, Bold Gold and Bad to the Bronze. My favourite has to be Bad to the Bronze just bc it is so easy and will go with anything I am wearing and it is settle enough where I can wear it to work and be professional. Runner up is probably Tough as Taupe just because it is such a unique colour but I find it a little gloomy and doesn't give me a nice pop.
