Mac Cosmetics Pro Pigment Powder Eye Shadow

For a MAC eyeshadow that costs more than their pressed ones, it is not worth it.
First of all, the amount you get makes it sure that you won't run out of it in your lifetime unless you either a) are a makeup artist and have clients or b) split it with friends.
I'd go with option b so that everyone pitches in a little bit and gets a decent amount of product that is not a blow to anyones wallet.
Also like other reviewers have mentioned, it is SO dusty! You really need to watch how you open it/tilt it or you are going to use A LOT of product. Ergo, it is not an easy feat to travel with it.
Overall, not worth it. The pressed shadows are so much better! Not to mention no fallout with those!

I love this finish MAC has in their lipsticks!
They have the pigment of a matte lipstick, but the moisture of a satin or even a lustre (depending on which shade you get).
Also, these lipsticks last a LONG time because of their pigmentation. You only need about a coat in order to get opacity.
Warning, though: If you want super coverage it can look cakey/settle into line.
Overall, a great finish! MAC outdoes the competition as always!

I see almost no sales associates on the floor so I assume you're out of luck if you need some assistance.
I frequent St Catharines and this store is usually consistent with the other ones (i.e., in Hamilton, Burlington, etc.). As I always say about Winners: you win some and you lose some. Honestly there isnt enough turn around to justify visiting more than once a month. Although you do find gems, it is very rare.
I usually go into this particular store when I am bored or I am up for some digging around!

Anyways, to the merchandise. This store makes it easy to pick out which size you want for soap and is kind of self service (which I love!). It always smells great and usually has a great atmosphere. I also love how most of the products are Vegan and almost organic. This is a truly unique store that deserves the hype!

I do not know why, but the sales associates here are so annoying! They constantly bother you even after the initial "Hi my name is ______, is there anything I can help you with?". I mean, I understand the primary pleasantry but if I respond "no", then why would they still bother me? Also, this is not just one store that does this; almost every single one I have been to has this problem.
On the merchandise side, the Slatkin & Co. candles they sell here are amazing! They smell awesome and last for hours! Totally worth it! Also the deals are insane here (in a good way haha). They usually have Buy 3, get 3 free from time to time and even offer free (no purchase necessary) items during the holiday season and whenever they need to promote a new item.
Greats deals at great prices!

Like others have said, sometimes you find awesome stuff and sometimes...you dont.
To be honest, a lot of the stuff in this store is utter crap. You really have to search long and hard to find a winner.
But when you do find one...
you are guaranteed the best bang for your buck and it always looks awesome! I have pieces from H&M;from 5 years ago that a) still fit and b) lasted through numerous wash cycles.
I love a great deal AND quality!

Bath & Body Works Twilight Woods Fragrance Mist
This is a great way to keep on smelling fresh after you jump out of the shower. It has a light scent that is great to use all over and it still bearable. I love the woodsy fruity aroma it gives off. Sweet!

Marc Jacobs Lola Perfume
This is a bit pricey but I have had my bottle for a little over a year. It has a great clean fresh scent like when you step out of a shower. However, it does have a concentrated scent so less is better. Overall a good perfume, but nothing unique.

This is one of the first perfumes I have ever purchased in full size.
Although it does have a great smell, it does have an age limit. It was great when I was a teenager/adolescent because I almost used it like a body mist.
Great when you're a kid, not so great when you're all grown up.
