New products spotted

Have you been browsing around your drugstores lately? Tune in to see what I found recently at mine 🙂 Good stuff, I promise.

I found this lovely display at one of the Shoppers I went. Click the pic to enlarge 🙂 Can you tell what the line is?

Yep, the Sally Hansen Natural Beauty, inspired by Carmindy, has officially arrived at Shoppers 🙂

As far as I can see, we have quite a good selection of their products.

– First shelf: Your Skin makeup foundation, Airbrush Spray makeup and Luminizing Face primer.
– Second shelf: Luminous Matte Pressed powder, Translucent Loose powder, Natural Highlighter.
– Third shelf: Sun Glow Powder bronzer, Powder/ Cream blush
– Fourth shelf: Eyeliner, Gloss
– Last shelf: Eyeshadow and Mascara.

I was in a hurry, didn’t note down the price. According to Carmindy on twitter, she is showcasing the line on The Shopping Channel as well. More access for us Canadians.

Also found the 3-piece Holiday nail polish sets from Joe Fresh, retail CAD10 each.

There are 3 colour combinations to choose from.
– Left set: Midas, Imperial and Dupioni. This is probably the set I would get, as I kinda like all 3 shades.
– Middle set: Onyx, Steel and Beet – Steel and Onyx are quite similar, except one has pretty shimmer. Beet is a cream burgundy.
– Right set: Cherry, Sweet Tart and Wine. A little too much red to my liking, but if you are a fan of the colour(s), this is not a bad set for the holiday.

Joe Fresh nail polish are 3 for $10 anyway, so the sets aren’t a saving, and you also don’t have a choice of what colours to get in a set. I assume these colours are LEs though, as I didn’t see them before from the regular line. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Another item that caught my eyes was the Joe Fresh 5-pc Acrylic Brush set, retails CAD19.

By the look of it, the set includes:
– Blush brush (reg. CAD10)
– Concealer brush (reg. CAD4)
– Large eyeshadow brush (reg. CAD5)
– Crease brush (reg. CAD4), and
– Eyeliner brush (reg. CAD4).

Cost wise, this set is good for your money, as you basically get the 2 small brushes for free. I didn’t compare the size of these to the individual brushes Joe Fresh has, but I don’t think they are minis/ travel size either.

I kinda wish they include the foundation brush, but it would probably jack up the price of the set too much, a hard selling point for it. Can’t say I tried their brushes before, can’t comment on the quality.

And look, Superstore, for some miracle reason, all of a sudden stocks Wet n Wild LE collection. This is the latest Vixen’s Mittens, sells for CAD2.99 a bottle.

I didn’t expect Canada would have it that fast, but here we are 🙂

A warning though, these bottles are very tiny (6.5ml, if I remember correctly). The colours are nice though, very glittery/ shiny, some are quite unique.

Have you seen them around yet?

I have been in a crazy hunt for Annabelle’s Hype and Insomnia collections. For some reason, my regular Shoppers (and some others) did not have them, period.

Now look what I found at Superstore: the Insomnia collection, lol.

It’s unpredictable what Superstore would have on their shelves, LE or not, so it’s kinda exciting not knowing what to expect (well, sometimes) 🙂

I had a fun time browsing the displays. Would have played around a bit more if I didn’t have to go upstairs for the gym – it was Zumba time, couldn’t miss it 🙂

One more interesting find of the week: Wet n Wild Beauty bags, CAD10.

This is the Canadian version of the Wet n Wild train cases that the Americans have been lusting after. No train case here, just a clear plastic bag, lol.

I took pictures of both sides of the bag to show you the shades. All bags are the same, i.e. there is only 1 choice of colour combo.

The front features a Beauty Simplicity Look, with:
– Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Sweet as Candy
– Color Icon Blusher Pearlescent Pink
– Mega Last nail colour in Sugar Coat
– Mega Last lip colour in Think Pink
– Mega Length mascara in Very Black.

The back goes for a Hollywood Glam Look:
– Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Don’t Steal My Thunder
– Color Icon Blusher Heather Silk
– Mega Last nail colour in Caught Red-Handed
– Mega Last lip colour in Stoplight Red
– Mega Plump mascara in Very Black.

Note that all products in the bag are not full size. They are all a bit smaller than the regular products on the shelf.

This is a good way to try out a bunch of Wet n Wild products at a good price. They are good for travel too. I just wish we had a train case for them. What do you think about the bag?

Have a great day, everyone! Do tell me what you found at your stores, I’d love to hear.
