Discover beauty newness at The All About New Event at Shoppers Drug Mart - including Bubble Skincare, Marc Anthony and Aveeno!

New brands and new products are yours to discover at The All About New Event at Shoppers Drug Mart - not only are there more than 100 NEW products on the offer, there are also tons of bonus PC Optimum points on them as well! A few of the many I think worth checking out are:
 
Bubble Skincare - a new brand that offers affordable, clinically proven skincare known for its good vibes and glowing results - my faves from the line:
Water Slide Hydration Boosting Serum Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides - 30ml - $24.99 - a hydrating serum with a milky gel texture that draws more water into your skin and renews your skin barrier, closely mimicing skin’s lipid content to give you a fresh, plump and dewy look. It calms and revitalizes irritated, dry and flaky skin, reduces skin’s sensitivity by acting as a barrier that can protect your skin from more aggressive active treatments. The formula contains: hyaluronic acid - helps skin draw in moisture and retain hydration; peptides - help reduce skin damage and support skin repair; and niacinamide - hydrates, calms irritation and boosts skin barrier function; and  
Over Night Hydrating Sleep Mask - 50ml - $26.99 - a creamy, all-night mask for all skin types that smooths, soothes, brightens and hydrates skin while you sleep without clogging pores. The fragrance free formula contains maple sap - helps protect  skin barrier; mandelic and kojic acid - gently exfoliate to reveal brighter, glowing skin; sodium PCA - helps to bind moisture to skin cells; biosaccharide gum - creates a moisture-binding film over the skin for a soft, smooth feeling; and arnica - helps soothe red and inflamed skin. 

+3,000 bonus Optimum Points when you buy 2 Bubble products.

- 198ml - $15.49 +2,000 bonus Optimum Points - an innovative spray that creates a lightweight, hydrophobic anti-frizz shield around each strand that repels humidity and locks in sleeknes for up to 72 hours even in 80% humidity. The heat activated formula helps to reduce blow drying time and protects from heat up to 450°F. Infused with a blend of Caffeine, Biotin and Ginseng condition to help reduce breakage for stronger, longer hair.

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.
