After a wonderful day at Murale on Saturday what better way to follow it up on Sunday than spending some quality time at Shoppers Drug Mart?! I was pleased to see that there were lots of new and interesting things and of course you guys are always the first ones I want to tell about them - well I did try to tell my husband, but he got this blank look on his face after the first 5 minutes which is about his limit for cosmetic excitement. I know you all will appreciate it though!
Vasanti Cosmetics - this is a new line at my Shoppers and I was very excited to see that it is a Canadian owned and operated company and all the products are made in Canada! How often do you see that anymore?! I will have to do a follow up post on Vasanti, as lots of things caught my eye but I liked this in particular (you know how I feel about a palette) - Go Canada! Colour Palette $40 - celebrate your Canadian Olympic spirit on your face (without the maple leaf face tattoo from that moronic commercial I hate)! Gold, silver and bronze eye shadows, white powder highlighter and a sheer red lipstick make up this super cute palette! I swiped the shadows really quick to see what the pigmentation was like and was impressed, the powder is also really soft, which I like!
Revlon PhotoReady Makeup & Powder $19.99 - It appears that I've had my head under a rock and totally missed all the buzz on these or I would have taken more time to test them out. I am hearing them compared to Make Up For Ever High Definition so I will be picking one up this week to test that theory out. I do like Revlon foundations if only for the colour range, they are one of the few drugstore lines that make a light enough colour for me. If you are also light you will be happy to know that one of the two lightest colours should suit you, one has a pink tone, the other yellow. If they can live up to MUFE HD or not, remains to be seen.
L'Oreal Roll'on True Match Foundation $19.99 and Double Extend Lash boosting mascara with lash boosting serum $16.49 or Lash boosting serum $16.49 - I gave the foundation a roll just to see what this new applicator is all about. It really was like using a tiny paint roller. I can't see this being practical, you would roller the stuff on but still have to use your brush/fingers/sponge to get into small, non-flat areas. A cute gimmick but otherwise useless. I am interested in trying the lash boosting serum either in the mascara or on it's own. I'll get back to you with a review on that.
