April Haul: Cosmetics

I'm a show off. Well not seriously. Usually I don't go shopping much. Anyways, this April I went on a shopping splurge. Some of you might be thinking, "Holy crap another rich b!tch!"
No!
If anything, I'm far from rich. Which is why I'm so happy (and slightly tispy) from this shopping spree. I haven't bought anything since December!!!

And for some of my purchases I have a Lucky Shopper story for them. Yes, I call them a Lucky Shopper story. You know how sometimes you find something you super-duper-uber deliriously love? And it just so happens, sitting on the shelf/rack was just that one last one waiting for you and you get the feeling its a sign from the Cosmo telling you it was meant to be!

Now onwards to my new lovelies!

First off is my makeup haul and as you can see (or will soon see) I'm a huge fan of drugstore make up.

My family took a trip down to the states during the Easter weekend and we dropped in to the Dollar Tree. O-M-G! My eyes popped out of my head when I saw the beauty isle. Sally Hansen for just $1!? That's unbelievable! Even when it goes on sale, the cheapest I've seen was $5.99! I snatched up four lip gloss (one I gave to mom) and one liquid liner to try out.

As for the Nyx cosmetics? They were on CLEARANCE! Clearance! Here! In Canada! Only $1 each!!! (variations by location) I went to three Save-on-Foods (Yes I'm a crazy cheapass or cheapass crazy) and this was my result:
- lip liner in Mauve.
- eye liner in Lavender (by accident, I thought it was a mascara),
- 2 eyeshadow trios in Dandy and Olive Groove,
- 3 mascara in Bronze, Navy, and Electric Blue.
The Nyx eyeshadow base was on sale, unfortunately not on clearance. For CND$7.99 well at least it is cheaper than UDPP and TFSI!

The two new Wet n' Wild nail polish was so lovely that I just had to get them! My friend I was sold by the new shade sticker on them, which may or may not be true? "Casting Call" looks very similar to Sally Hansen's "So Much Fawn" and Rimmel's "English Rose." Does anyone have a comparison I can see? It is also darker than I thought, I might mix some light shade into it. "Rain Check" is my absolute favorite at the moment. I might just have to buy a backup or two!

The new Annabelle trios were on sale for $4.99, which is the universal lowest sale price in Canada? I also bought their smoothliner and smudgeliner, I'm on the search for a good waterliner! Please let me know if you have any recommendations!


The Covergirl & Olay simply ageless cream blush in 230 Lushberry is my new favorite blush! I grab it when ever I'm in a hurry or on days when I don't want to put any make up on, I just dab a bit of this on my cheeks and I'm ready to go!

London Drugs had Revlon's Kohl eyeliner + bonus matte eyeshadow for $5.99! They came in three sets of shades, black, blue, and brown. I've always wanted to get Vintage Lace and while I was at it, I grabbed Riviera Blue as well.

The little pink compact in the middle is the Prestige eyeshadow Ballet. I've been looking for a pink eyeshadow to brighten up my eyes but doesn't make me look like I've been crying. I hope this one will work out, I'm currently using Annabelle's trio Rosewood but I don't think it's pink enough? Weird eh?
