SDM Haul! Dior, GOSH and Rimmel

Yesterday I participated in Shopper's Drug Mart's 20x the points promotion! I feel like SDM is just pumping out the promotions lately.  It seems like there's always a bonus point or spend your points promotion going on, and my favourite sales associate let me know that another spend your points promo would be coming up very soon. Eek!!

For this promo, I purchased Diorskin Nude Tan Paradise Duo in 002 Coral Glow, GOSH Nail Polish in 587 Hot Coral, Rimmel Scandal Eyes in 007 Gossip Green, Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Lipstick in 110 and Rimmel Stay Glossy in 800 Infinitely Pretty. The SA threw in 2 samples of Alien by Thierry Mugler, Stella Nude by Stella McCartney and a sample of Clarins HydraQuench Cream-Gel for Combination and Oily Skin:


I just love the Dior blush/bronzer duo! I was seriously lemming this after seeing it pop in a few blogs and the reviews seemed great! I am not disappointed. I wore this out last night, and I thought the two shades looked beautiful together. The blush is a gorgeous pinkish-coral and the bronzer is a peachy brown. They are both soft, finely milled and lasting a good part of the night on my oily skin. :)

 
 
 
 
 
This retailed for $56 at Shoppers Drug Mart, but you can also find it any Dior counter near you.
 
I hadn't tried any of the Lasting Finish lipsticks by Rimmel, and I thought this shade was super pretty for spring! It's a bright orange-pink/red, and I don't have anything in my lipstick collection like it. I really loved it topped with the Stay Glossy gloss, but I know that sort of defeats the purpose of the lipstick's matte finish.
 
 
This is just the lipstick on my lips. I know it's not coming off very orange here. Damn camera!
 

And this is lipstick topped with the Stay Glossy Lipgloss which is clear with fine silver shimmer. Sorry for the blurriness!

 
 
Did this lipstick last? Yes! I was out for the better part of the day and night and was eating and drinking. I believe I reapplied once because the boldness of the colour was starting to fade.
 
The Rimmel ScandalEyes was on sale for $3.99 and I just bought it on a whim to bring my purchase total up to the $75 mark. I haven't tried this yet. But here's a swatch of it as well as the lipstick on the left, and the gloss on the right:
 
 
 
The GOSH nail polish was on sale for $3.50 and I was looking for a shade like this, so I would stop stealing my daughter's. :) I'll be applying it today! Fingers crossed that it can last more than 12 hours as nothing seems to these days.
 
And that completes my haulage! Thanks for reading!

    1. Yes, they only sell Dior at certain locations. I have to drive a town over to get to one, but it's soo worth it! And the points are amazing! If you visit the store during 20x the points events, they add up super quick. And then you get a shopping spree! :) Thanks so much for reading!
