Haul: Second visit to the L'Oreal Warehouse Sale

Hi everyone,
Just before the end of the sale, I went one last time... I got a ticket through my bf's mom. She was receiving them from her work! ^^

Here are the products I got the second time I went.

  • Biotherm face multi-protection sun cream SPF 50
  • L'Oreal extra-volume collagen mascara
  • Maybelline Instant Age Rewind
  • Biotherm Homme gift set


My man has been using this product ever since I got him a set for his birthday 5 years ago! I'm so glad he's still using it and doesn't think it's too much "work" for him in the morning/night. I do see improvement in his skin ever since he started using this. I never see flaky dry skin any more! He likes the AquaPower Oligo-thermal care ultra moisturizing (in gel) because it is fast absorbent and doesn't feel oily. I try to grab this moisturizer for him every time I go to the Sale!


I'll be back soon with swatches of the products I got from my other hauls! Stay tuned!
Till next time...~

Haul: L'Oreal Warehouse Sale

Hi Ladies,
I went to the L'Oreal Warehouse Sale this morning at the opening time. Unfortunately, I wasn't there early enough to be one of the first! There was already a line up when I got there at 8:30am (Opens at 9am)!! I was still able to get a few things that I was eyeing for a while... and here's what I got.

From Lancome:
  • Tresor in Love Fragrance Gift Set - Includes Tresor in Love Eau de Parfum Spray, Tresor in Love Eau de Parfum Miniature, Tresor in Love Perfumed Body Lotion and Hypnose Mascara all in a black purse.
  • Juicy Tubes Gift Set Sparkling Pinks - Includes Butterflies, Sweetheart, Pink Bling, Raspberry Ice, Miracle and Dreamsicle 
  • Oscillation Gift Set - Includes Oscillation Mascara, Bi-Facil and Mini Khol Pencil
They did have other gift sets with the Tresor in Love Fragrance in them, but I believe this came with the most product for the price.



I might put this aside and give it away as a Birthday Gift to a friend.

There was a similar gift set, instead of the Mini Khol Pencil, it came with a mini lipgloss for $2-3 more. (Not sure if I might give it away...)

From Biotherm:
  • 123 Skincare Essentials kit - Includes Cleansing Mousse, Clarifying Lotion and Gel Moisturizer 
  • Aquasource Superserum
  • Biotherm Homme AquaPower Ultra Moisturizing (for the bf)




From L'Oreal and Maybelline (got these for a friend):
  • HIP Studio Secrets Professional Intense Eyeliner in Dark Sky
  • Expert Wear Eyeshadow in Sapphire Ice and Lavender Fields
I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any felt tip liquid eyeliners.

Unexpected Finds...
I was VERY surprise to find Shu Uemura makeup there. From what I remember, they had their eyeshadow palettes and lipgloss.

I'm hoping to go one more time and hopefully find other products. They usually restock or have other items to replace the ones that are cleared out! The prices did go up compared to prices last year, but still better prices than getting them in stores!

I will be doing reviews on the products I purchased, so come back to see how I like them!

*Did anyone go? What did you get?*

Till next time...~

Review: The Falsies Volum'Express from Maybelline

Hey Beautifuls,

I went to Pharmaprix a few days ago and saw that Maybelline has come up with a new mascara call "The Falsies Volum'Express". I saw it on sale for $3.99, which was an awesome buy and a great price to try out a new mascara.


What it claims:
  • Unique flexible wand helps to lift and separate lashes to provide the look of more lashes
  • Patented Spoon brush and Kera-fiber formula instantly build 8x more volume without clumping to complete the false lash look
  • Ophthalmologist tested
I only have on Almay eyeliner in Black. So here are my lashes without anything:




And here are my lashes with The Falsies:





My verdict:
  • I do love the Spoon brush
  • It keeps my curls intact for the whole day
  • Does extend my lashes
BUT:
  • Does clump if not applied carefully
  • Need to apply several coats quickly because it does try out pretty fast
Would I purchase again? Yes, only if it's on sale for $3.99!!! =p
Till next time...~
