Today I did a mini haul at Shoppers Drug Mart. It's a 20x the points day, and I'm a huge sucker for bonus Optimum points. I also love the ladies at my local SDM! I called in last night, and they held a couple things for me. They are such sweethearts and always give samples, and sometimes fullsized products! It's always a joy to be in there.
I purchased two pieces from the new Lise Watier collection for spring called Pastel Power. It is the most adorable collection ever! I wanted everything, but settled for the Illuminating Beads and the Pink Power Blush. The Illuminating Beads are the same idea as the famous Guerlain Les Meteorites Balls. I only own a deluxe sample of the balls, and if I compared them, I'd say the Illuminating Beads are smaller. They are so cute! Can't wait to wear them. The Pink Power blush is just GORGEOUS. I'm completely in love with it. How adorable is the packaging for these product? It makes me so excited for spring. :)
Here's a swatch I took. From left to right is the Illuminating Beads, then the lighter shade from the blush, the darker shade from the blush, and then the two shades mixed together.
I also purchased a GOSH Velvet Touch lipstick in Shocking Coral. I wanted something for the spring that would work well with the Lise Watier products, and I read that the Lise Watier lipstick is drying and cakey. I think the GOSH lipstick is a lovely shade and just perfect for springtime!
I also bought the Essence Quattro in 11 Sea My Eyes. I really wanted the Lise Watier Quatuor Pastel Power Eyeshadow Quartet, but I settled for this. I forgot to take a picture of this product, but you can get the gist of it in the first pic.
The Shiseido Facial Cotton is my favourite cotton pads ever! Since I discovered them a few months back, I haven't been able to go back to anything else. They never shed and are soft and non-irritating.
The ladies also gave me a few Clarins samples; the Pure Melt Cleansing Gel with Marula Oil, the Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction and two tiny samples of the new Clarins Double Serum. I love Clarins, and I'm super stoked to try all these out!
Here's the prices for everything:
Pink Power Blush - $30
Illuminating Beads - $29
GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick - $14,99
Shiseido Facial Cotton - $9
Essence Quattro - $3.99
Let me know if you participated in 20x the points day, today! I love hearing what other people bought! :)
Glad to see I was not the only shopping at SDM today.

ReplyDeleteThis collection from Lise Watier looks great, I personally have never tried anything from this line but the packaging on these is adorable!
ReplyDelete& that GOSH lipstick is really nice as well!! I would have thought it would be a darker shade while wearing but that is nice and soft
Great haul, and I am sure you walked away with a nice amount of points as well! I was tempted to buy a couple makeup items but I resisted today, I did place an order with Murale last night and I did enough damage lol
I'd only purchased a few Lise Watier products previously, but I wanted everything from this collection! I think I'm gonna go back and get the eyeshadow quad, and the new eyeliner! The Gosh lipstick is a bit darker than it appears in the photo. I just couldn't get the flash on my camera to pick up the colour accurately. But I do really like it!
DeleteI'm dying to visit Murale sometime! I saw your blog around Christmas when you spent your points there and I was dying! Do they offer bonus points days as well?
Thanks so much for stopping by! :)
ahhhhhhhhhh the Lise Watier collection looks so adorable!!! i am so tempted but i was sorting my makeup today and i have drawers of stuff i have yet to use... ack!!
ReplyDeletethat lip color also looks amazing on you :)
Thanks so much, Helen! That's sweet of you. :) And I agree that it is completely adorable! I think I might go back and pick up a couple more things from the line. I completely admire your willpower, though! I definitely need to adapt a no-buy sometime soon.
DeleteThanks for visiting! :)
Let me know what you think of the illuminating beads! I want to try them, very badly! I had something similar years ago when I worked at SDM, but an illuminating bronzer. I loved it!!
ReplyDeleteI thought I responded to this already?! lol So far I'm loving them! They need a light hand though, as there is TONS of shimmer. I think you'd like them. :)
DeleteI considered getting some of the Smashbox Love Me collection, but my Shopper's didn't have the items I wanted in stock :(
ReplyDeleteYou got some great items! The Illuminating Beads look lovely!

That sucks they didn't have that collection in stock! :( I'm going again this weekend, and I'm hoping they have some at my store. I haven't seen them in person, yet! Thanks so much for following! I followed you back. :)
DeleteThe Lise Watier stuff looks so pretty and I squealed when I saw your lipstick....it's beautiful!!! I'm trying to resist going to look for it! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aleks! :) The lipstick is a little darker than the picture. I couldn't get my flash to capture it properly. I still think it's a lovely shade for spring, though! Thanks for stopping by :)
