Hello!
Wow it’s been a while since I was able to put up a blog post. I’ve been pretty busy with school, work, and everything else to write posts, but I’ve had them in mind for a while. I have about three posts in the waiting, so here we go.
Shoppers Drug Mart (a drugstore in Canada) has a rewards program called Optimum where you earn points for every dollar spent in store and then redeem for discounts. Occasionally (actually like, every week) they have special point promotions such as the ever popular 20 x the points where they multiply your points earned in a transaction by 20.
Usually these points promotions are the times that I end up purchasing my hauls, just to build up my points. 🙂 So here’s a haul of some stuff that I bought during one of these promotions.
1. Olay Fresh Effects: Bead Me Up! Exfoliating Cleanser
I bought this on a whim. I needed a new exfoliator, and I thought I would try this out. I looked up reviews on this after I bought it, and I’ve read mixed things. First impression is that it has a very strong scent, but I hope it will work out okay.
2. L’Oreal Elnett Hairspray – Unscented
With my TRESemme hairspray running low (and getting really tacky and sticky) I decided to try this one. Ingrid, my favourite YouTube beauty guru has recommended this one along with a friend, so I thought I would try it out.
3. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum
I actually picked up two of these. This is a funny product as it’s one that doesn’t make my hair look amazing, but when I stop using it, my hair goes nuts. C’est la vie I suppose. I think they are repackaging this product, so it was on a really good deal.
4. CoverGirl Jumbo Gloss Balm in 240 and 216
This type of lip product has been hot on the market since summer: glossy balm lipsticks in a thick tube. I thought I would try these Cover Girl ones, just to see if the hype is real. 🙂 The colour 240 is coming up a lot more orange on camera than I expected.
And there it is! A short but satisfying haul. :3 Until next time!
