L'oreal Warehouse Sale Fall 2014 Haul ( Sept 20- Oct 12 2014)





Here it is, finally!!! :)  I've been waiting for this sale for the longest time. Everytime I go to Walmart I would stop by the L'oreal and Maybelline section to check out the quads and the infallible eyeshadows and never buy them coz I know they will be much cheaper at the warehouse sale. I was able to get a few Maybelline tattoos on sale at Target a few months back and loved it so much that I wanted more! So as you can see I hoarded the Maybelline quads and tattoos :) LOL.

Ok, here's what I got:
130,400, 300, 100, 200, 140
I got 6 Maybelline Quads for $2.75 each, reg $ 9.96. Thats is definitely a steal!


Here are the rest of the Maybelline products I got:
Master Glaze in Plums Up - $ 3.75, reg $9.96
Master Highlight in Nude - $ 3.75, reg $12.96
Baby Lips - $2.75, reg $ 3.96
Bigeyes Falsies Mascara - $3.75, reg $ 8.96
Dream Lumi concealer in Beige - $ 3.75 - reg $ 9.96
Color tattoos in Rich Mahogany, Edgy Emerald, Electric Blue and Mossy Green - $ 2.75 each , reg $ 6.96

Here's the L'oreal products:
Voluminous Power 24H mascara - $ 2.75, reg $ 8.96
True Match foundation in Suntan - $ 6.75, reg $ 12.98
Magic BB in Fair - $ 5.75, reg $ 10.96
Visible Lift in Classic Ivory - $ 4.25, reg $ 5.99 ( saleevent.ca)
Youth Code BB Cream in Medium - $ 4.75, reg $ 19.96
Quads in Neon Skirt and Midnight - $3 each, reg $ 9.96
Infallible eyeshadows in Bronze Divine and Magnetic Coral - $3 ea, reg $9.32
Lipgloss in Infinite Fuchsia - $ 3, reg $ 7.96


A couple of Garnier products:
Hydra recharge - $2, also on sale at walmart for the same price!
Ultralift Eye roller - $ 4.75, reg $ 16.47

And lastly....
Lancome Hypnose Star mascara - $ 18.75, reg $33.50 - the most expensive one in this haul!


I am totally pleased with what I got and in total I saved about 60% off retail ( compared to Walmart prices). So again, never buy these products at full price! Be patient and wait for the warehouse sales! :)

The Revlon sale is also ongoing at the International Center, in case you want Revlon, Cover Girl and other P & G products...

Until next time...

L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint - Review and Swatches

Hey Glamourose peeps! It's been over a month since my last post and I have a lot of stuff I wanted to share with you :) First is this LA Girl Glazed Lip Paint! I've seen a lot of good reviews and I got curious about this product, however I can't find any Canadian reseller online! It's probably at the Designer Cosmetic Shop but I'm sure the price will be more than double ( sucks to be in Canada sometimes :( ) Anyways, I found it at ikatehouse.com and their shipping charges are very reasonable. They sell it for $2.99 each but  if you buy a set of 6 shades  ( which was the original release - now they have 18 shades), you can get it for $15.99 and shipping to Canada is only $7+! I got the shades Coy, Bombshell, Hot Mess, Baby Doll, Blushing and Pin-Up.

Here are the swatches:

My favorite is the shade Blushing - it's like a nude pink brown. Sorry the pictures does not do justice to the actual color :( Bombshell is Fuchsia, Coy is Purple, Hot Mess is Orange, Pin-Up is Red and baby Doll is Barbie Pink. All these shades are very opaque and pigmented. I used a lip brush to apply to kinda lighten it up, otherwise it will be very intense. It has a minty feel when you apply it  due to the peppermint oil but it does not feel dry even after hours of wear and no sticky feeling. It also has a long wear time and fades nicely. I would say it lasted about 3-4 hours on me, even after drinking and eating.

I really love this product and for the price I can honestly say, you get more than what you paid for! This is definitely a good buy for me! I hope to get more.... soon! :) 


XOXO
