Haul: L’Oreal Sale

*Purchased

Hi there!

I hope you are having a great day. I come to you with a haul. At the start of the year I said that I would be cutting down on hauls, and I have to some degree. A couple of weeks ago though, my friend asked me if I would be interested in going to this L’Oreal sale. It’s a ticketed event but his mom got them from work. SO. HAPPY. No buy? No more.

My friend and I trekked out not really knowing what to expect. I knew they had some pretty good deals on Essie, but other than that I wasn’t too sure. When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised. Here’s what I picked up!

 

1. Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes

Price: $5.75 CAD

I didn’t actually really want to buy these. These were actually one of the more expensive things that I bought. I am running out of makeup wipes, so instead of being economical and going out to get cheaper wipes, I bought these. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this in the store. Meh, I’m usually game for trying any type of makeup wipes. We shall see!

2. Ombrelle SPF 45 Ultra Light Cream (Sunscreen)

Price: $5 CAD

Just realized I photographed the French side. D’oh. But you get the point. I actually need a new face sunscreen and I haven’t used the Ombrelle brand in forever. I used this today actually and it’s pretty nice! The only thing is that it expires next year, so I’ll have to spend a lot of time in the sun this year!!

3. Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew in Light

Price: $12 CAD

As usual, I’m always late on the bandwagon. This was hot a couple of years ago (maybe more than a couple of years ago). This was more of an impulse buy, but I thought, meh, wanted to try it. Me buy. πŸ™‚ I’ve used it a couple of times and like it! The only warning I have is that it is VERY VERY scented. I don’t actually mind the scent, but if you’re not a fan of fragrance in makeup I wouldn’t recommend this.

4. Maybelline Baby Lips in 70 Coral Crush and 95 Strike a Rose

Price: $2 CAD each

I was so happy to find these! I’m already a fan of the Baby Lips line (other than Dr. Rescue), so I thought I would branch out from my clear one. I’ve used the Coral one and really like it! Can’t wait to see how pigmented the bright pink one is. πŸ˜€

5. Essie Nail Polish in Vices Versa and Strut Your Stuff

Price: $4.75 CAD each (I think)

I thought I would go bananas for the Essie, but I reigned myself in. πŸ˜‰ Both of these are from the Neon 2014 collection. Can you tell I’m ready for spring and summer?!

6. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 90 Nude Compliment, 80 Pure Nude, 85 Beige-ing Beauty

Price: $2.75 CAD each

These took a lot of digging in the big bins, but I managed to grab 3 that I really love. Can you tell I like neutrals? The only Colour Tattoo I have right now is Bad to the Bronze, so it’s nice to add a few lighter shades to the mix.

7. L’Oreal Colour Extraordinary Lip Colour in 104 Dancing Rose

Price: $3

When I saw these there I probably (embarrassingly) squealed a bit. I got one of these at TIFF this year in the L’Oreal hut and I’ve been waiting to purchase more. It’s a lip gloss that wears so nicely. It also leaves a nice stain on your lips. I’ve been holding off just because of the price in the drugstores,  but this one was such a steal! So glad I waited!

And there we have it! After doing this haul, I feel like I could have gone a bit crazier. I’m gad to be saving my money though. :p This sale was totally worth it and I’m so happy that I went. πŸ˜€

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day!

  1. Ombrelle sunscreen, to me, always smelled like plasticine. I could never get over that scent and have avoided it since I was kid!

    Those Essie colours are fantastic! I really love them! Can't believe the price on the Colour Tattoo. Holy crap!

  2. Great haul! The Pink Baby Lips is pretty pigmented! Though not as much as the Sephora balm I got. I probably didn't need both since they are quite similar in colour πŸ˜›

    I feel meh about that Garnier BB Cream. It's too dark and greasy for me! Apparently the one meant for oily skin is better, though I have enough BB creams to last me awhile.

  3. Lol that's funny! I actually just went to smell it and I didn't notice anything too offensive. After the Tartelette thing you'd think I'd be on high alert eh?

    Thanks! I wore the green one for St Patrick's Day and I love it! I know, the prices were insane!!

  4. Oh okay! I look forward to trying it then!

    Oh fair enough! I noticed yesterday when I wore it with no powder that my oil slick known as my nose was very shiny. Maybe I'll try and find that one too… They're sorta pricey though at like 25 bucks though I think right? Wish they had spf. πŸ™

  5. Ah I was going to go to this but… I'm on a budget and I don't trust myself in warehouse sales. lol I really like the shades you picked out for everything (yas, spring colours BECAUSE SPRING IS COMING!) That lipstick though.. want.

    My friend texted me while there asking if I wanted product and I had to tell her to stop because I was WEAKENING and would have accepted anything. hahaha

  6. I've been pretty good about cutting back on my beauty purchases this year too (WELL, I KINDA HAD TO SINCE LAST YEAR ME BOUGHT EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING so this year is more focused on using stuff up). A friend of mine loves the Garnier BB cream, so I've wanted to try it for the longest time, but realistically I probs won't, just because I'm 'gon need a lot more coverage than what BBs offer!
    I love the Maybelline colour tattoo shades you picked out, and YES I have Coral Crush and it's so pretty! It's also quite similar shade wise to Oh! Orange! though.

  7. YES OMG I totally feel you. I was even thinking that I mayyyy not make VIB this year. I think the only thing I got from Sephora this year was my Z Palette. With a gift card. I've been eyeing a couple of things for the sale, but I don't want to go crazy.

    Yeah I totally get that. I really like BB creams just because I suffer mostly from mild redness. If I have a pimple though, I'm definitely layering with concealer!

    Well thank you! I have been using these ones lately and I am LOVING the feel of them. They all blend beautifully. You are the Baby Lips queen haha,

  8. Thanks Anu! When I saw them I was like wahhhh! I noticed since using them they might be old or discontinued colours. One of the packaging broke on me and they take a little more working to get it to a creamy consistency. I honestly cant complain though!!

    Oh I know when you mean. Isn't that the worst feeling ever? I feel this way especially with my foil packet collection! I need to make my way through that!
