Beauty haul ft. mostly drugstore stuff and a bit of high end :)

Thanks for watching! American drugstores are strange and magical places. I ventured into CVS, Walgreens, and Target. This is what I got. Also went to the outlets and TJ Maxx... :)

I also really appreciate your likes and comments :) It really helps me to know what kinds of videos you lovely people want to see!
My fashion purchases video is next!

I have both the Sonia Kashuk sponge and the beauty blender. I LOVE the Sonia Kashuk and almost never touch the beauty blender. I suppose everyone is different, but I just think it was a waste of money.

@Jannabelle126 That's really good to hear! I don't think I could ever bring myself to spend $20 on a sponge, and this helps my resolve. Thanks!

I got Moonlit Madness a while back for free at Sally's. It is a really nice colour. I bought 2 Revlon Lip butters at Target and was surprised they only cost me around $6 each. I couldn't find the one I really wanted so I paid the $12 for it at SDM. That is one reason I hate shopping in Canada (the tax). Also I spy The Sims in the background. Oh and think of CVS like we have Tim Hortons. They are everywhere.

[cheesestreet]

@bluehawaii19 Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by how cheap the lip butters were in the states! The cheapest I've been able to find them here is at Walmart for just under $8. I hate Walmart but they do have the best prices. and LOL LOL I laughed forever about the CVS/Timmies thing because it's SO TRUE! XD

[clanaaa]

@cheesestreet OMG, I hope you like it then! ;) I don't want a foundationfail on my concience! ;) What I like about it is that its light to medium, buildable and that its neither too yellow or too pinky/orangy. I am probably neutral to cool, so thats why it works for me. i do hear that the Natural in alabaster is a bit lighter than in the other formulas...you could go with Skin fdtn too if u like that formula. ----tbc---

[cheesestreet]

@clanaaa Haha Sephora just ruined my plans, apparently that foundation is "Canada Restricted" and I'm not allowed to buy it. I guess it wasn't meant to be! I'll look around for it... some Murale's carry BB, and I think Holt Renfrew does too.

For the eyeshadows, I'll try to have something done this week... maybe a top 10 mac shadows video or post or something of the like :)

[bluehawaii19]

@cheesestreet I don't think any of the Walmarts near me carry it them. I have only seen them at Target, SDM, and Ulta so far and I hated paying the $12 for the one I really wanted (Peach Parfait) at SDM when I know they are much cheaper at the other two. Yeah, Timmies are everywhere. In Napanee (not a big town), I think there are two or three or them alone.

[clanaaa]

@cheesestreet CONTINUED: I will check the smashbox product out... up untill now I have been using Elf Browkit in ASH...also a powder and a wax duo. The shadow is similar to MAC Omega, but I feel omega is a tad too yellowy in tone, if that makes sense. Re: my eyeshadow request, it's totally up to you! I just need recs ;) I mostly wear neutrals which is why I suggested that. But I am open to widening my horizons to bolder colors!!!

[cheesestreet]

@clanaaa I have the foundation in my Sephora cart right now haha! For my brows I use Smashbox brow tech in taupe/soft brown. It's a duo plus a wax, and they're the coolest toned brow products I've been able to find for a decent price. They aren't quite cool/ashy enough, but they're very close! I mix the two shades together and it's very good! As for the eyeshadows... I'll think on that and maybe do a blog post (but I'll try for a video!). Do they have to be neutrals?

[clanaaa]

Let me know about the Alabaster. Btw I have two questions for you.

1. What products do you use to fill in your brows? I see yours look very cool/neautral as mine... most brow fillers, eyesadows or whatever are always too red or yellowy brown.

2. Could you do a My Favorite MAC shadows/My MAC neutral Palette vid? Or just tell me the sades? Going to the US in 2 weeks and I wanna buy a lot of their e/s. I only have satin taupe atm.
