I used to think Shopper's was just an over priced drug store.... Yes but no....
First off I only buy what is on sale and compare the prices to Wal-Mart as I feel they generally have the best prices overall. I only shop at shoppers when i have loaded coupons for bonus points or on bonus point days. I buy what I would normally would buy from the grocery store and or what I need. I stock up when they have really good deals... sometimes they are practically giving stuff away. In fact on a couple of occasions I get free stuff if they are clearing something out and the coupon is greater then the price! Optimum points for me add up so quickly that every time I turn around I have enough points to spend.... I can get to $170 in a matter of weeks. I then turn around and splurge on free luxury makeup from the beauty boutique! Now on to the Beauty Boutique, free deluxe sample with every order and their sample selection on top of that usually contains many different deluxe samples or minis... you get to choose 3 from there. I end up with 4 free minis... plus my free order!!! (minus the taxes), free shipping even to top it off. I LOVE Sephora but I do try to shop at the Beauty Boutique at all costs.

This may be my all time favourite foundation. I love the flawless results achieved with this product. The colour is bang on to mine. A little goes a long way, especially if you are going for a light coverage look. (That's what I use this specific foundation for, I have a few just depending on what I'm looking for that day). I find it has a slight "glow" to it but it is by no means sparkly... it's barely a shimmer. I'm super happy with this product but it is super expensive, I'd totally buy it again though as it is a staple in my makeup collection. -

So I'm not going to lie, this one was a flop for me. Normally I generally like Burt's Bees products however, I found this BB cream to be thicker than my full coverage Foundation. It's literally like a paste and I got the lightest shade which is extremely light and I am very fair skin and normally the lightest Foundation shade there is and this was too white and made me look like I was dead... Not a good look. I also don't like how it applies on the skin if it's not mixed with a moisturizer because it is just that thick. I will use this up cuz I hate wasting money but I am unimpressed. Also I can't stand the smell of it.
The only way I can actually get through the tube of the stuff is by mixing it with my daily moisturizer so it's a little bit thinner and easier to work with.

One of my favourite drugstore cosmetic brands out there! I find it pretty decent quality for a great price. This liquid eyeliner is very easy to use, very pigmented, and the staying power is not too bad. I'd say it's waterproof from a point it doesn't run but if you accidentally touch where it is it will flake off. I've boughten more expensive liners that haven't been as good as this one. I'll definitely be repurchasing when I run out. -

I love Smashbox makeup but unfortunately with this one I'm not 100% sold on it..... You see at first when I apply it and let it dry it is great. I do find that makeup last longer with the primer on but the only thing I did notice that by about halfway through the day that I was getting white flakes of the primer on my eyelids which did not make me very happy. I don't think this is a bad product at all but I just don't think that it worked with my chemistry perhaps. -

I am a huge fan of Eos brand products and this one is no different. I find this very lightweight and very moisturizing and I love the fun cute packaging and the fact that the lip balm is transparent is pretty cool. It has a great smell/flavour to top it all off, I tried the vanilla Orchard. I also think the new fun triangular shape is pretty cool compared to the spheres. I totally recommend this to anyone. -
KVD Vegan Beauty Tattoo Liner
I love Kat Von D's cosmetic brand! This eyeliner is a great one, it goes on smoothly and easy to use. Good staying power and great color payoff. Makes doing the classic cat eye very quick and easy. I love it!

I live in my lashes! I always buy those Ardell individual lash kits and this glue is the absolute best to keep them in place for weeks. Everyone assumes that I get my lashes done by a professional at the spa but I actually do them myself thanks to these awesome cost-effective glue and lash kits. People are pretty shocked! I had my eyelash extensions done professionally and I honestly think these are nicer.
I do find that the Ardell adhesive remover does not work very well to remove the glue, the glue is extremely strong. In order to not rip out your natural lashes you're better off letting them fall off naturally. I just reglue them on as needed.

I love Bite Beauty and I love products that can be used for more than one purpose. This one definitely does that, I use this mainly for cheek colour but also sometimes as a lip stain (although I find it drying). It looks fine on my eyes but I don't like how much pressure I need to apply in order for it to be nicely blended on my lids... too much tugging on the skin. I didn't pay anything for this so I really had nothing to loose but I don't know that I would purchase once I run out as there are many other products that do the same thing that I prefer over this. Bite Beauty Multistick will probably last for years, even with regular use as a little goes a long way. -
