My top 3 picks from the Shoppers Beauty+ Event with bonus Optimum Points galore!

There's not a lot I love more then Optimum Points - George Clooney, world peace, Donald Trump falling into a bottomless hole - but Points are way up there! Making Shoppers Beauty+ Event equivalent to Christmas in my books. If you never met a bonus point you didn't love then you need to get yourself over to your closest Shoppers store (or the website) before the 21st so you too can take advantage of all those lovely bonus points just waiting for you! A few products worth picking up (even without the points):
 
10000 bonus points when you buy the 30ml or 50ml! 

Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum - 15ml - $77, 30ml - $139, 50ml - $205 - with a unique, deep diffusion texture infused with melt-in micro-beads designed for all skin types that penetrates deeply into the skin's layers targeting the heart of the epidermis, multiplying skin's self-repair mechanisms and delivering powerful age-defying benefits to help with dullness, fine lines and wrinkles and loss of firmness and elasticity. 
 
The 99% naturally-derived ingredients formula draws its repairing power from three honeys produced by the black bee, a species selected for its rarity and the power of its honeys: Trogstad honey from Norway - revitalizes skin and corrects visible signs of aging; Ouessant honey from France - supports skin youth repair with an abundance of amino acids;  Connemara honey from Ireland - visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Deeply repaired, skin regains plumpness and radiance while wrinkles are visibly filled. 
 
It feels great on the skin but even better is the scent - perfumed with a sun-drenched nectar by Thierry Wasser, it reveals fresh, light, and honeyed notes. My only complaint is it doesn't come in vat form that I can pour in my bathtub and just soak in...
10000 bonus points! 

Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint Blurring Elixir - 30ml - $43 - in 24 C = Cold, N = Neutral or W = Warm shades : 1N, 1WN, 2.5N, 2C, 2W, 3.5W, 3WN, 3W, 4.5WN, 4W, 5N, 5W, 6.5WN, 6N, 6W, 7W, 8.5W, 8W, 8WN, 9.5W, 9W, 10C, 10N, 10W - a fluid tint foundation with buildable light to medium coverage  and a natural, second-skin finish that works for all skin types. 
 
The breathable vegan formula has a silky, fluid texture the effortlessly blends into the skin to instantly even skin tone while the hyaluronic acid improves skin hydration and moisture and also smooths pores, fine lines, and texture with up to12 hours of weightless wear that doesn’t separate or get patchy.
 
I don't even bother with a foundation anymore that isn't buildable - Urban Decay discontinued my favourite concealer so now I expect to be able to double up my foundation to act as concealer too - I'm very demanding I know - and this one does a great job - goes on light but easily builds to medium coverage in any problem areas! And it stays put without separating or getting patchy, clinging to dry patches or settling into fine lines - sold!
4000 bonus points! 

NYX Cosmetics The Face Glue Gripping Primer - 35ml - $14.99 - adds grip for all of your face cosmetics and hydration for up to 24 hours - all the glue with none of the stickiness. The formula contains polyglutamic acid - known to be extremely hydrating; and maple syrup - known for grip that's extra AF. This non-comedogenic primer feels comfy on the skin, breathable all day, and gives a soft-focus finish.
 
It's easy to use - just spread a dime-sized amount of product evenly on the face and see the transformation as the white gel blends seamlessly with no cast into all skin tones - then just slap your makeup on top, no need to wait! If you want a whole Glue routine, also available is The Face Glue Setting Spray as well The Brow Glue
 
Even if it didn't work as well as it does (and it does!) I would still love it for the packaging and how it brings back memories of dousing my hand in white glue so I could peel it off when it dried - clearly these were early exfoliation techniques...

Grab these amazing products and so many more at Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada or online at beauty.shoppersdrugmart.ca and take advantage of the special bonus points until February 21st.

This week I'm obsessed with... Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil!

  
Are your brows also showing the effects of stay-at-home boredom that culminate in a pair of tweezers, a glass of wine and a morning full of brow-regret...?
 
Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil - $32 - in 12 shades: Grey - cool grey; Shade 1 - cool light blonde; Shade 2 - warm golden blonde; Shade 2.5 - neutral blonde; Shade 2.75 - warm auburn; Shade 3 - warm light brown; Shade 3.5 - neutral medium brown; Shade 3.75 - warm medium brown; Shade 4 - warm deep brown; Shade 4.5 - neutral deep brown; Shade 5 - warm black-brown; Shade 6 - cool soft black - with an ultra-fine tip makes that makes adding definition to brows easy by allowing you draw incredibly natural-looking, hair-like strokes - perfect for spot-filling sparse or over-tweezed areas, and the smudge and water-proof formula is firm for precise application and lasts 12 hours.  

If I was some kind of brow genius I wouldn't have found myself in this situation to begin with so when I say it's easy to use - that means even an idiot (me) can do it - the preciseness of the pencil makes it super-easy to draw little hair strokes to add fullness that doesn't look fake - I also really appreciate that it comes in an auburn shade (most pencils don't)!

Over the pencil I like to apply Benefit 24-HR Brow Setter - $32 - it locks the colour into place and also keeps all the hairs going in the right direction - perfect if you have unruly brows! And under the pencil I have been trying out Browvo! Conditioning Primer - $38 - a nutrient rich primer for fuller looking brows you can wear it under your brow pencil to enhance colour and extend wear and/or overnight to condition, helping brows look thicker, fuller and healthier - I've been going the overnight route because 3 layers of products on my brows during the day feels like a bit much.

All 3 products are also available in a mini size for $19 perfect for travel (when we can do that again) or if you just want to try a smaller size first before committing to a full sized one!

This week I'm obsessed with... The Case Full Of Seoul - The Best Of Korean Skincare!

The Case Full Of Seoul - The Best Of Korean Skincare - $159.99 - makes it easy to discover all that K-Beauty has to offer with 8 skin-changing products - best when used together, each product has a purpose to target different skin concerns that work to unveil a flawless complexion.

This is a great way to introduce yourself to K-Beauty if you aren't already a fan. If you aren't familiar with the concept, Korean skincare is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, rather than a one-off treatment it's where the secret to beautiful skin is knowing that it doesn’t happen overnight, but is rather a commitment to a daily routine that will deliver long-lasting results.

The set includes:

9 Wishes Rice Foaming Cleanser -  a micro-ground rice powder textured formula that
works to gently exfoliate away dead skin while cleansing away make-up and other impurities to
leave the skin bright and full of hydration thanks to its nutrient-rich rice water ingredients.

MayCoop Raw Sauce Mini - a toner and emulsion in one that intensely hydrates and revitalizes dull skin using ingredients that mimic molecules in human skin, such as maple tress sap, to help retain extra-high absorbency.

URANG True Rose Repair Essence - with a jelly-like texture containing organic Bulgarian rose water and rose essential oil for a cooling effect to calm down redness and re-energize sensitive skin.

Tov Camellia Wrinkle-Free Eye Solution - fills in fine lines and wrinkles in the delicate eye area with a formula of shea butter and macadamia nut oil.

MayCoop Raw Moisturizer - formulated with maple tree sap for the ultimate hydration experience, in a soothing complex that uses an oil/water balance to allow skin tissue to work as a barrier, absorber and regenerator.

Touch In Sol No Poreblem Primer - with a velvety smooth texture that creates a long-lasting, smooth canvas for flawless makeup application and contains a unique sebum catching powder that controls oil-production to keep skin from appearing greasy as well as minimizing the look of pores, wrinkles and uneven skin.

URANG Vitamin Oil Serum - hydrates and nourishes the skin with rosehip and jojoba oils that  penetrate deeply and provide a brightening effect while repairing the skin hiding discoloration and reducing fine lines.

I Woke Up Like This All-In-One Concentrate Treatment Mask - a tightly-woven microfibre fabric sheet mask with pearl powder, vitamin C and niacinamide to boost hydration that adheres perfectly to the skin for deep penetration of ingredients to provide a brightening effect and even out skin tone.
Along with the products are four different shorter beauty plans to accommodate every aspect of one’s lifestyle:

‘The Morning Glory’ plan for a quick everyday skincare routine to brighten up your day;

‘The Sleeping Beauty’ plan is to unveil the secret of the “I woke up like this” feeling.

the ‘Get Ready with Me’ plan is for whenever and wherever as skincare is the new makeup; and

the ‘Spa Sunday’ plan for when you want to be extra and Spa-ice things up!

Each plan is easy to follow with a step-by-step how-to no matter what your skincare needs might be that day or if you simply don’t have time for the full eight steps.

Stila Lingerie Souffle Skin Perfecting Color - 30ml - $49 - an  opulently-whipped, yet refreshingly lightweight, delicately tinted skin perfector that creates a translucent veil, allowing each one of 9 shades to cover a multitude of skin tones - with advanced pigments and light refracting particles to smooth, blur and even skin tone creating the optimal illusion - skin that looks naturally fresh and perfected.

The skin-loving formula with botanicals and over 70% water feels amazing - fresh and super  comfortable - this is going to feel so good on hot summer skin! And of course you have to love the packaging, so opulent, it will decorate any dressing table - it has a lot of heft to which makes it look great but also less practical to travel with.

Stila Lingerie Souffle Skin Perfecting Primer - 30ml - $47 - a multi-function gel primer that smooths skin and blurs imperfections, with the benefit of two finishes - either illuminating or bronzing.

Mascara Monday - Marc Jacobs Velvet Primer & Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara

Looking for a false lash look without all the trouble that comes without actually applying them? Now Marc Jacobs gives you all the drama without any of the hassle in two easy steps:

Marc Jacobs Velvet Primer - $33 - an ultra-plush lash primer with a soft-beige colour that makes it easy to apply evenly and a conditioning base that maximizes the benefits of your favorite mascara for a false-lash look that leaves lashes feeling luxuriously-soft and healthy, not brittle or dry.

Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara - $33 - An ultra-volumizing mascara that delivers ultimate volume and the look of thick, false lashes.

You can see the difference that the primer makes - the left eye is just mascara while the right eye has the primer as a base - as you can see, it really adds the oomph!
