I recently picked up a set of Mariposa nail polishes at Dollarama and was impressed with them so when I saw they had a new set of gel like nail polish, I had to try it. Mariposa Gel is just $3 for three polishes and the long wear top coat. As with other no UV […]

Essence Mountain Calling Nail Art
Last month, Essence’s Mountain Calling collection finally made its way to Canada. I always want new Essence collections because they are amazing for the budget price tags and always such cute colours, but this collection came with socks, so I stalked my local Shoppers Drug Mart stores until my favourite cashier said they were in the […]

Mariposa Nail Polish – The Coloured Foils
While I am all for four free (or even 8-free now) nail polishes, they typically come with a high price tag. I have been with friends shopping and spent $15 on a single bottle of nail polish while they roll their eyes and carry on with their $3 bottles of Sinful Colors or Sally Hansen. […]

When I first saw the information on their upcoming releases, Smokey Nudes and their new Skinny Brow retractable brow pencil were my two must haves. Annabelle Smokey Nudes promised a versatile palette that suits […]
How Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum Ruined My No Buy July
On June 25th I decided to join the No Buy July challenge and started right then. With No Buy July, you still buy groceries etc. Although, it is a great time to use up all the stuff in your cupboards too, lots of new foods come out in July. You just don’t buy all the […]
Dollarama Buy: Neat & Easy Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Strips Review
I was running low on Biore strips recently and headed out to buy some while shopping, only to find that they were really expensive that weekend. I recalled seeing Neat & Easy Deep Cleansing Nose Strips at Dollarama for $2.50 and thought they would be worth trying. I get gross blocked pores on my nose. Noticeable blackheads, […]
Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Review
I am a huge fan of Maybelline’s Baby line, I love Baby Lips so when I saw Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser on the clearance shelf at Shoppers Drug Mart (I have been cleaning them out of clearance deals lately) I jumped at the chance to try it. I have heard good things about their […]
