A few weeks ago my cousin who lives on the other side of the country came for a visit and although we only had an afternoon to spend together, we decided we wanted to squeeze in some time for shopping, and since we didn't have enough time to go to the mall, we of course decided to take a short walk to the drugstore! My cousin, my sister and I ended up hitting
Pharmaprix a.k.a
Shoppers Drug Mart and each bought a few *cough* products...gotta love impromptu girly shopping outings! :)
I picked up a handful of makeup items from
Essence, a German cosmetic brand that not too long ago made its way across the pond to Canada. I had previously tried some one of their eyeliners, a mascara, a pair of lashes and a lip gloss which I hauled
here, and was really impressed with the quality of their products since they are so affordable. This time I picked up their new
Precise Eyeliner Brush to use with my gel liner. I also got the
All Eyes On Me Multi-Effect Mascara in Soft Black - the name itself just captured my attention! Another product I got is their clear
Lash & Brow Gel Mascara which I plan on using as an eyebrow setting gel.

For eyeliners, I picked up Essence's
Stays No Matter What Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Midnight Black and their
Kajal Pencil in White.

Upon recommendation from my cousin, I added the
Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm in Peach Kiss to my basket, and because a girl can never have too many mascaras, I also got the new
Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara in Very Black Blaze.

Have you been to the drugstore for makeup recently? There are so many new products to choose from, I could seriously spend a whole afternoon there just roaming the beauty aisles! Make sure to let me know in the comments below if you would like me to review any of these products! :)
ahh so envy there's a drugstore full with beauty products. All I can get here is Maybelline, Revlon, Loreal with very limited choices and more expensive price than in US.
ReplyDeleteI almost bought the flamed out mascara the other day and then didn't for some reason. I would love to see a review of this perhaps? If you think it works well I might go back and get it.

Those are some pretty sweet goodies you picked up girl! I've been curious about that Flamed Out Cover Girl mascara but haven't tried it. I'm picky about my mascaras, what did you think about it? Also, LOVE the imagery on your site. Really nice to scroll through. Looking forward to more :) xo http://plushpinkallure.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAhh I haven't gotten around to trying it yet! I'm almost done with my current mascara, so I plan on writing a whole review on Flamed Out once I start using it. Thanks for your sweet comment! xx
