Favourite Canadian Makeup Products

[coyotepolaris]

You do such excellent tutorials and such! I love your colors and your style! I wish there was a version of you with a pale complexion so I'd have a better idea what'd work for me lol

[c1plas]

They have the black pro quo brushes too which I adore. I have no idea if they are different than the silver ones.

[sokolum79]

@c1plas The difference I saw was that the pro line was twice the price. LOL!

[letgobandit]

We have a good selection in Canada?!  Really?!!!

[SolLUVsMakeup]

this video just totally makes me want to go to Canada , just for makeup shopping :D

[zeeto0]

not sure why I'm watching since I'm not Canadian and almost none of those products are sold here in Finland. :)

[lams1013]

New subscriber, love your videos...the nail tutorial's are amazing!! Also, what kind of glasses are you wearing in this video? LOVE them!!

[sokolum79]

@lams1013 Thank you for subscribing! I am wearing Ray-Ban New Wayferers. :)

[nutahanuta]

Your skin is just PERFECT! :-)

The video is interesting. just sad you didn't make it earlier - I was in Canada in January, could you your reccomendations while shopping

[ThePowderAndGlory]

I love LIT cosmetics... Your glasses are super cute.. FACETIME ME.... miss you

[chiqua1970]

I just love your videos!!!

[BattleAxCourt]

The ending made me giggle. I love your lip color!! What shade is it?

[anaarthur81]

LOL, I was just gonna comment to compliment you on your look, when I hear you whisper and saw your pajamas!!! Hilarious!!! great video, someday I'll make a trip to canada and buy all those cool stuff! I once went to Vancouver but I was 15 I wasn't that much into makeup I was more into music back then, LOL take care! xoxo

[Gigg19]

I work for Sephora and Urban Decay just came out with a liner that is darker than Zero called Perversion. It is a blackest black matte liner...check it out! :)

[p00kiepancake]

Cover FX has pro discount? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?! From where though? Do they have stand alone stores? I've only ever seen the brand in Shoppers and I've always wanted to try it because their line looks AMAZING (quality wise) but pricey :(

[sokolum79]

@p00kiepancake I only know if the discount from their online store, but it could be at other locations as well. :)

[MusicalPassion007]

I absolutely LOVE your skin tone. Such a beautiful color and your skin just looks flawless. What foundation are you using?

[TamiChappel]

Thanks for the peek into Canadian cosmetics. Your skin looks amazing by the way.

[MegLouTro]

Your glasses look so good on you! I'm totally going to have to use some Annabelle and Quo in my life... those eyeliners are wanting to be in my already stuffed makeup drawers. ;)

[kienamorado0888]

i absolutely love that you include Canadian cosmetic brands. Way to shed some light on them :)

[TheFakeAsiansXD]

I think I fail at being Canadian, I've only live here my whole live and didn't know any of these were Canadian.....

[sokolum79]

@TheFakeAsiansXD I don't think a lot of people really think about it, but we have quite a few brands. :)

[mack0rz]

Yayyyyyy. I'm so happy you did this :D I love that you're supporting the Canuck brands!

[sokolum79]

@mack0rz I think it's interesting for people in other countries to see what we have here too. :)

[starbucksishawt]

Yeah just looked a Mac lipstick and my creme cup one says made in Canada. I live in Florida

[sokolum79]

@starbucksishawt I was surprised to see that many of my products were manufactured here too!

[jotilalli]

haha best ending ever!

[sokolum79]

@jotilalli ^_^

[jotilalli]

i bought the QUO master brush set and i really didn't like it. the powder brushes are far from soft. :(

[sokolum79]

@jotilalli Yeah, the limited edition sets are always different than the permanent line, same with MAC.

[HayzStrawberry]

hahaha, so funny, I always do my tutorials in pyjamas XD And I was so reluctant to buy annabelle eyeshadows... I hate investing in eyeshadow that end up having a poor color payoff. What do you think of them?

[sokolum79]

@HayzStrawberry Most of them have a great payoff, occasionally there is a dud, like MAC.

[nakiestona]

Yay for cover fx! I told ya it was awesome ;) their brushes are amazing too very dense but soft. Thx for doing a video on Canadian products!!

[sokolum79]

@nakiestona I will have to check their brushes out. :)

[Kona]

Non-makeup related question. Haha. Did that piercing between your collarbones hurt? Or is it bothersome to have there? o:

[sokolum79]

@Kona It hurts like a regular piercing, but a there was a little more pressure. I rarely snag it, but I have to be careful in the shower.

[exoitckris]

Great review! I really like my Quo makeup brushes and lashes! Thanks for the insite on the other brands :)

[sokolum79]

@exoitckris No problem! :)

[1971browneyes]

Lol at the ending!! :)

[sokolum79]

@1971browneyes Shhh, it's a secret! :D

[TheShannonMunro]

I really like ur look in this vid :)

[sokolum79]

@TheShannonMunro Thank you! :)

[fictionwriter04]

great video! I also really like the eyeshine eyeliners from Lise Watier and the lip stains from Joe Fresh.

[sokolum79]

@fictionwriter04 I'm not a lip stain fan because my lips go too pink without opaqueness. I have a lot of Gosh liners so I haven't purchased the Lise Watier ones yet. :)

[rox0459]

great vid, love those glasses and pajama pants......

[sokolum79]

@rox0459 Haha! Thank you! :)

[LydiaSfacefun]

Love the pjs:) xo glad I found you !!

[sokolum79]

@LydiaSfacefun Thank you! ^_^

[cosmeticcouturier]

Aww yes we YouTubers are not afraid of 'Jama bottoms.

[sokolum79]

@cosmeticcouturier Haha! If it weren't for PJs, I'd be a grumpy old hag in my videos!

[MySaloh]

Hair tutorial plzz.....

[sokolum79]

@MySaloh Will do!

[annelieCT]

Heather, please do an updated hair tutorial :) pretty pleaseeeeeeeee

[sokolum79]

@annelieCT Will do!

[262Trinity]

Great video! :)



[sokolum79]

@262Trinity :)

[cookiefarrer]

This is such a cool video! I have a lot of Canadian patients who come down here to Florida for the winter, and I love to talk cosmetics with them! So excited to share some of my new knowledge with them!

[sokolum79]

@cookiefarrer My grandparents used to have a home in Florida. :)

[alaneah]

@sokolum79 i love the look you're wearing! Could you do a tutorial for it? :) pretty please?

[sokolum79]

@alaneah I was thinking about doing a bold lip look sometime in the near future so I just may. :)

[18Soma]

I need to go to Canada! Or at least make Canadian friends. Hi my name is Socorro, I call myself Soko. :-)

[sokolum79]

@18Soma You do Soko, we're a down to earth bunch of people. :)

[fabkath36]

I'm a big fan of Cargo. Annabelle looks interesting. Much aloha!

[sokolum79]

@fabkath36 I actually haven't tried Cargo yet. There is a new HUGE Cargo counter at our downtown Sears so I may have to go take a look.

[moizissimo]

@sokolum79 Good to know! I'll have to check it out. :)

[velvetulipemj]

I miss my Canadian products !!! *sighs*

[sokolum79]

@velvetulipemj I can imagine. If I ever move away, I will too.

[lilianajimenez2003]

Hehe I love this because I visited Canada and found Annabelle in Walmart Mississauga

[sokolum79]

@lilianajimenez2003 Walmart is one of the best places to buy Annabelle too because their prices are the lowest. :)

[isladerossi]

So wonderfully informative for US folks :D Thanks!

[sokolum79]

@isladerossi I always love seeing what's available in other countries. :)

[onyxfaith]

hmm... It appears that the Annabelle eye pencils don't use parabens. Score! It's tricky being paraben sensitive. >_< I may either need to bribe/pay you to send me a bunch of those or get my sister-in-law to bring me some next time she visits. ^_^

[sokolum79]

@onyxfaith I can for sure do that for a friend! Let me know what you're interested in. :)

[onyxfaith]

@sokolum79 Thank you! I'll definitely be in touch.

[brunettebarbie881]

The pro discount your speaking of for cover fx, do you need to order it offline to recieve that or are you able to recieve it in shoppers? I've only ever purchased from shoppers. love that you did this vid and show some Canadian love, theres not enough Canadian youtubers eh:)

[sokolum79]

@brunettebarbie881 I believe you have to order it from their website to get the discount, eh.

[NandeDx]

this is great! i always love buying canadian so this is ridiculously helpful! thank you!

[sokolum79]

@NandeDx Awesome! I'm glad you found this useful. :)

[redblaze82]

nice! ty =) i will check some of those out

[sokolum79]

@redblaze82 Great! It's surprising how many products we have for such a small population. :)

[TheMissarf]

OMG! Finally! I was waitting for this video!Thanks a lot! :) Kisses Adriana

[sokolum79]

@TheMissarf I always like to see what's available in other countries too...which always makes me envy people in other countries. :D

[ShannoninBC]

PJ'S! lol great vid on cdn cosmetics, perhaps a coverfx review/tutorial in the future? :)

[sokolum79]

@ShannoninBC I could add it into one of my tutorials for sure! :)

[LAYDAESP]

Nice PJs ! :) Got them from Old Navy ?? But I enjoyed seeing what you guys have to offer ! as well as seeing your favorite items !!

[sokolum79]

@LAYDAESP Oh yeah Old Navy pants all the way!

[LAYDAESP]

@sokolum79 Yeah, Old Navy to best sleepwear pants ! :-) Can't wait for another tutorial. I love watching your ish!!!!!!

[Lilchicmama]

I love that your canadian. You were the first canadian "beauty guru" I found on youtube which just makes me so happy :D Anyways love you keep doing an awesome job *thumbs up*

[sokolum79]

@Lilchicmama Us Canadians are too few and far in between, eh.

[Lilchicmama]

@sokolum79 it is so true! lol Your a BC girl too arn't you (im not anymore I moved to the cow province now in teh boonies no less :P) I miss living an hour and half away from vancouver... ahhh the shopping options x.x lol

[TheMzCherryBerry]

i had NO IDEA that lise watier was a drugstore brand!! lol! the name is so fancy! it sounds super highend...which is what i thought it was :P

[sokolum79]

@TheMzCherryBerry Even Elizabeth Arden, Lancome, Benefit and Cover FX are sold in our drug stores, but Lise Watier is exclusive to drug stores. Must be the French name. :D

[TheMzCherryBerry]

@sokolum79 it totally IS the name that got me!! i went on ebay lastnight because i couldnt find anywhere here that its sold. and woooweee, it might as well be super high end, because it was EXPENSIVE!! maybe one day when i FINALLY make it to canada ill have to go and get some from the stores instead of ebay!! i have a great friend whos from Mississauga :) & ive been promising a visit for years! plus my aunt & uncle have a chateau in Quebec :) I've been dieing to go there too! I need to get busy!

[givepeaceachance000]

your hair is FAB! love it!

[sokolum79]

@givepeaceachance000 Thank you! It's driving me insane right now...trying...trying to grow it out. >_<

[LeOhio817]

Thanks for the heads up on the Canadian makeup brands. Your look is great in this vid and the glasses are fierce.

[sokolum79]

@LeOhio817 Thank you so much! ^_^

[MsAllmadeup]

I must say doing videos in pajama pants does seem to make things go smoother for me ;-)

[sokolum79]

@MsAllmadeup Something about being comfortable and sneaky...

[TheSereneDeath]

I'm going out to buy that lipstick you're wearing riiiiight meow!

Can you recommend a good bright berry shade, and when I say "berry" I'm thinking of the purple/pink of your hair in this vid.

Miss you!

[sokolum79]

@TheSereneDeath MAC's Violetta lipstick is the bomb! I believe Revlon may also have a purple/magenta lipstick or two as well. :)

[SnapwingOnTheTube]

Great stuff! Makes me want to travel all the way from Florida just to go makeup shopping! As for the pajama pants? YAY FOR COMFORT!! Great video, thanks!

[sokolum79]

@SnapwingOnTheTube You need to find a Canadian to swap with. :)

[Macbella2]

LOL Love it! Ok so now I feel a ton better ;) crazy girl! Great vid...and great pajamas too!

[sokolum79]

@Macbella2 Merci beaucoup! ;)

[BloomingBeautyBlog]

LOVE the Marcelle Waterproof Makeup remover - total HG material.

[sokolum79]

@BloomingBeautyBlog I'll have to look into it! I really like their Soothing Cleansing Water. :)

[astounded85]

i was almost gonna be THAT person.... who says PLEASE TELL ME WHAT LIPSTICK THAT IS???! but iw as paying attention :P

[sokolum79]

@astounded85 Hahaha! Phewf! ;)

[PrincessMichelle1105]

loved this video! little disappointed that you didnt mention the Quo shadows, by far the best long lasting shadows i have ever found. Everytime i go to shoppers i head to the clearance bin in the cosmetics lol its a great line but slightly pricey

[sokolum79]

@PrincessMichelle1105 I've never tried their eyeshadows believe or not! The colours are a little too subtle for my liking I guess. :D

[davidluv4]

when you held up that blush palette, I could see a REALLY blue sky in the reflection :) and pajama pants, seriously? i am never watching you again. how dare you?!  ;)

[sokolum79]

@davidluv4 It was insane, blue sky!!!!!

[J3ssiGurl]

I LOVE your glasses :)

[sokolum79]

@J3ssiGurl Thank you! They're new-ish. :)

[BrittBlair94]

I find all Quo's natural hair brushes are too scratchy

[sokolum79]

@BrittBlair94 I don't find too much of a difference between their natural hair brushes and MAC's. Natural hair is usually more rough than synthetic as well.

[BrittBlair94]

what do you think about GOSH?

[sokolum79]

@BrittBlair94 I love Gosh, they have a fantastic colour selection. I didn't mention them because they're Danish. :)

[lisainsf]

Thanks for this video -- I think it is a first! Great information. I'm going to visit Vancouver this year and I'm going to buy lots o' goodies!

[sokolum79]

@lisainsf Exciting! I hope you have fun!! :)

[evasmakeupdiary]

Have you ever tried the annabelle le big show mascara? It is my favourite of all time :)

[sokolum79]

@evasmakeupdiary I have! It's pretty good, but I find it a little too wet. I prefer dry mascaras. :)

[babytoutou26]

I absolutly love with this vid. You look so pretty and elegent. Thank you so much.

[sokolum79]

@babytoutou26 Thank you so much! ^_^

[mjgremlin]

what do you think about Marcelle's brand? I like them and I believe they are under rated, don't you think?

[sokolum79]

@mjgremlin I haven't tried their makeup, but I really like their Soothing Cleansing Water is a fantastic makeup remover. I use it to remove my foundation and waterproof eye makeup remover (I use a diabolical eye makeup remover) before I wash my face.

[cyexquisite]

omgg this is such an informative video!!! i was wondering what canadian products to buy but I only knew a few...thanks so much for this video!! :)

[sokolum79]

@cyexquisite I'm glad you found this video useful. ^_^

[olivka000]

hmm pretty lipstick :)

[sokolum79]

@olivka000 Thank you! :)

[pivi1803]

Whats the Nail colour that you are wearing?! They look so bright ;-)

[sokolum79]

@pivi1803 It is Sparitual Shooting Star. :)

[melmarkarian]

You're are absolutely beautiful <3

[sokolum79]

@melmarkarian Aww, thank you so much! ^_^

[TheDancemagic100]

i wish my drugstore had some of those products lol

[sokolum79]

@TheDancemagic100 Our drugs stores have a pretty big mix of low-end and high-end products.

[Trachelle85]

haha love the pajama pants!

[sokolum79]

@Trachelle85 I know SOME people in Ottawa like to go to the mall in PJ pants. :D

[SuzieLivesInHerHead]

BY THE WAY. You look super cute <3

[sokolum79]

@SuzieLivesInHerHead Thank you so much! ^_^

[bumpkinhead16]

lol cute jammies!



[sokolum79]

@bumpkinhead16 Nothing like skulls and hearts. :D

[skullsnrockets]

Does the smell of the Annabelle lipsticks not bother you? The smell drives me nuts because it reeks of the "traditional" lipstick smell :P I die for their lipliners though!

[sokolum79]

@skullsnrockets Mine don't have the classic wax smell, maybe it's changed? I know the Revlon lipsticks in the green tube smell like grandma's old lipstick, blech!

[whiskeyromance]

LOVE your glasses!

[sokolum79]

@whiskeyromance Thank you! They're new-ish. :)

[nthgreen87]

three cheers for pyjama pants! XD

[sokolum79]

@nthgreen87 hip hip hooray! :D

[TheMisstwist]

haha you're so funny! I was glad that you were wearing something! I was like.. oh no. haha

[sokolum79]

@TheMisstwist LOL! That would be something...

[01applebees]

Great video, I love your channel.. =)

[sokolum79]

@01applebees Thank you! :)

[01applebees]

@sokolum79 Sure thing =)

[QueenAsya4]

@sokolum79 I really enjoyed this video. I'm always interested to see what makeup lines are popular in other countries; especially drugstore brands. I've been to Canada once before & plan on going back so it's good to know what products to try while I'm there. I order from a small/independent makeup company based in Canada called "MOI Cosmetics" and I absolutely love it. Holly (the owner) is a sweet person and the eyeshadow & lip glosses she makes are wonderful.

[sokolum79]

@QueenAsya4 I am not familiar with the company, and unfortunately, I am usually not a fan of mineral makeup. I have a few Lise Watier mineral shadows that I didn't include in this video because they're too shimmery for my liking.

[morganleah1980]

Thank you so much for this video! :)

[sokolum79]

@morganleah1980 Thank you for watching! :)

[pobstrel]

This was an interesting vdeo for me as i live in England and hadn't heard of any of these brands apart from Yaby. Although i must admit i was surprised as i thught the title was 'Favourite Cardigan Products'. Must put my contact lenses in before viewing next time! x

[sokolum79]

@pobstrel I was wearing my favourite cardie. :D

[prettydaysies]

i had my first peek into Shopper's when i was in Vancouver (for a short 2 days) back in October... i was in AWE of all the makeup there! great vid, Heather! :)

[sokolum79]

@prettydaysies It's nice when you come across new brands isn't it??

[pixiebirdie]

You are too pretty.. Do you get Sleek in Canada?

[sokolum79]

@pixiebirdie We have to order it. :(

[sokolum79]

@pixiebirdie And thank you! :)

[elusive73]

YAY! I love me my Canadian make up lines :) lol XOXO

also... lmfao re jammies ;)

[sokolum79]

@elusive73 I can't imagine lazing about in anything else. :D

[glamhaze]

Your face looks flawless, what foundation are you wearing, sorry to keep asking, but you rock the stuff really well! Stay glam! ;)

[sokolum79]

@glamhaze I was wearing the Cover FX foundation in M70. :)

[jessyDB]

i LOVE Annabelle !@#$!

[sokolum79]

@jessyDB Me too! I'm glad we have a trendy Canadian line. :)

[glamhaze]

i love your glasses, what type of style are they? ;)
