This is just a quick pull from my Instagram featuring some of these finds, more in-depth reviews (or at least swatches) forthcoming.
From my local Jean Coutu drugstore, I picked up these Jumbo Glossy Balms from Marcelle. They were discounted 50% off from 12.49$, so 6.25$ each. A little bit less than comparable stick glosses from Cover Girl and Revlon at full price, and I'd been eyeballing that display for weeks.
Also from that same Jean Coutu, I noticed a limited edition nail polish display from Maybelline. Half of the polishes were this polka dot type texture, and the other half were holos. (HOLOS, people. Though they looked almost like a cross between duo chromes and holos.)
These weren't on sale, but at 3.49$, it was a nice option to temporarily curb my lemming for the Illamasqua speckled polishes. Because I desperately want nails that look like bird eggshells.
The duo itself is very nice, with a satin-finish white and a grey-taupe matte, both pigmented like crazy, so it was 30 minutes and 50 bucks well spent. If you can't get to a store, use code VIBREADY to add the duo to your cart.
And also at Sephora, I raided the Charlotte Ronson end cap over the past month to get ALL THE PALETTES, as the whole line is now discounted. (These went from 26$ to 18$, though a few of them were 10-15$. Those the SA actually had to look for in the back, since they weren't even on display any more.)
So all in all, not a bad month for me in terms of getting the most out of my beauty dollar!
What about you guys? Did you come across any great savings or deals? Or conversely, did you haul big?
darn, that vib code is canada orders only! Ah well. You got so many goodies, and that is SO EXCITING!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's unusual! Usually it's Canadian online orders that are always exempt from any special deals or freebies. o.O
DeleteGreat post! I love all these items....That nail polish and the Marcelle look too hard to pass up on.
ReplyDeleteHey, thank you! :D They just put the nail polishes down to 1.99!
DeleteHow do you find the Hydraluronic? I feel like it's one of those weird, hyped up things that only work under certain conditions or for certain skin types.
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot, but I think it depends on what your skin is like as a baseline, and how you use it. I think if you have relatively firm, unlined skin, you're not going to see a marked difference. My skin is combo and dehydrated, with lines around the eyes, so I find this really boosts both the hydration level and the plumping effect of my moisturizer.
DeleteHi Maggie! I just read about Caroline rave about the Hydraluron! May i ask you which pharmaprix did you specifically go to to purchase it?
ReplyDeleteHi! I think I got it at the Pharmaprix in Kirkland? I can't recall for sure, but I know I've seen the brand at a few different locations. It's not in the high-end skincare aisle, but with the drugstore skincare. They usually have their own displayer on the shelf. I hope you find it!
