anywho, the first place i went was Shoppers Drugmart.
I have an extreamly oily complextion, and this horrid heat is not help to it...
so i bought...
It's Benefits Get Even in number 3, which is a darker brown color.
its used to blot away shine and discoloration. It also comes in #1, a light color, and #2 a medium tone.
...I think i works amazingly!!! i tried it at the store and right away the shine was GONE!!! but id make sure to use blotting tissues first so you dont contaminate your powder. Redness was also reduced. =) it comes with a sponge but i dont use sponges only cause it holds bacteria and of course you cant clean them, so use a face brush.
...The cost, for me, was pretty high. only cause im not use to buying expensive products, BUT drugstore blotting powders left me pale looking and did nothing for me, so this was a good choice.
it was $32, and i think well worth it. (i also loooooovvveee the mirror on it cause its big!!)
...the con tho....is it smudges!!!! like if you put it on, and then go outside, and you get a little sweaty and wipe your face off, the powder comes off. so you'll definetly need something to set it.
i personally think it'd be good for more cooler seasons, like fall or winter. only cause i do get kind of oily but its nothing compared to the summer, so it probably wouldnt really smudge.
Next i bought...
It's from the Shoppers brush/makeup like Quo.Its a retractable brush, which i really needed for my purse. its quite soft, which i like. It was 40% off, i think i came to like 12 something.
Then they gave me mini samples of Benefits perfume line... and OMG they smell AMAZING!!!
The one in the white is Laugh with me Lee Lee, which is like a musky scent, and the black one is My Place or Yours Gina.
These are the actual bottles. they looook sooo nice!! the whole martini shaker things is pretty cool. the bottles i find are kinda of small tho. but well worth it. i didnt get a look at the price, but the way they smell, would definitly be worth it no matter the price.
all three products are from Shoppers Drugmart, i dont think they sell them anywhere else since its the only place i see them. But GO THERE AND TRY THEM!!
then i went to Dollarama... and got hand lotion!!! MY FAVORITE. its called Keri. its only a dollar and its a pretty big bottle tube thing. it really moisturizes the hands, which i really need cause no matter what my hands are alway dry, so it does the job.!!!!
Then i went to the MAC counter in the mall downtown.
im a late bloomer when it comes to buying things, only because im really turned off at buying high priced products.
soo this is my FIRST Mac purchase, and i have to admit, i want more!!! but i need a job first!! hahah
Any ways i bought the DazzleGlass lipgloss in Love Alert. and i LOOOOVES it!!!
its really red on the lips and might be a little too much for school, but hey, i love to stand out!!
It came too $23 i do believe, which is a LOT more than id like to spend on a lip gloss but psh i dont care!! =)
Everything i got was well worth it and i recommend everyone to go out and get them!!
(dont mind the lightness of the powder, thats actually the sponge, its really a brown color)
