Party in the USA (Haul)

 The Cosmetics Company Outlet

Clinique Even better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector - $39.75 USD ($63 CAD in Canada! WTF)

I'll keep me posted on whether it works.

 Walmart

Neutrogena Healthy Skin (40 Nude) - $11.97 USD (You can't find this in Canada, boo)

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser (150 Neutralizer) - $7.94 USD ($11.99 CAD in Canada)

Burt's Bees Radiance Eye Cream - $17.97 USD ($24.99 CAD in Canada)

I'll keep you posted on whether Healthy Skin and the Concealer live up to their hype.

I'm giving the eye cream a try too.

 Walmart

Wet n' Wild eye shadow (Brulee) - $1.97 USD ($2.99 CAD in Canada)

Finally, got it.

It's impossible to find one that isn't shattered to bits in Canada.

L'Occitane Outlet

Cherry Princess Body Silk & Solid Perfume pack - $13.60 USD (Not available in Canada)

Cherry Blossom Hand Cream - $10 USD ($12 CAD in Canada; mini travel sizes not available anymore?)

and the samples I got.

Woohoo, found more Cherry Princess stuff!  They're completely sold out in Canada.

These "Body Silks" are super liquidy, which is awesome, cuz I can use them as hand lotion.

I stocked up on another two tubes of the Cherry Blossom hand lotions, because all their hand lotions are in the twist-plastic tubes now.  The new tubes have a new formulation, so the consistency is thinner.

As you can tell, we get screwed over in Canada...

seriously, the price differences are ridiculous

especially when our dollar has been on par with the American dollar for quite a while now.

Some other random shiz that M bought in March

Holy shit, I bought a lot of stuff in March -- So much for being broke!

THE BODY SHOP tea tree oil

It seems like it works the same way as my Burt's Bees, but the Burt's Bees is all natural.

The two's price points are the same, too.

So, I'm gonna call Burt's Bees the winner of the dupe challenge.

THE BODY SHOP nutriganics drops of youth

Still trying it out.  It seems aite?

MAYBELLINE 24 hr color tattoo eye shadow (35 tough as taupe)

AMAZING.  Very little is needed for pigment.

I would never wear makeup for 24 hours, but the shit stays on as long as I need it to, without primer!

It's a gorgeous matte mushroom taupey grey.

I got it at London Drugs when they had their 30% off all Maybelline products deal, so it was only $6.29 CAD!

JOSIE MARAN organic argan oil to go

I bought this because R raves about the thing.

My skin doesn't soak it up nearly as crazy as hers thought.

I use it for my hair tips, and it's awesome possum.

It's good for random dry patches too.

I wish I had this with me when I was in Calgary!

 BOURJOIS 10 hour sleep efflect foundation (71 abricote clair)

I can't wait to try this out tomorrow, because all of my in-store and home swatches have been incredible.

My beautyblender and it will be making love all over my face tomorrow!

It's oil-free!!!  The watery consistency could become my new HG over my Almay clear complexion!

I bought this in Shopper's Drug Mart for $26 CAD (holy mark up!).

Oh, an update from my last post about the Sephora VIB haul:

I returned the TARTE emphaseyes brightener, and got the MUFE aqua eyes eyeliner (champagne 23L).

The TARTE one was smooth on my hand, but on my waterline, it was so chalky and inconsistent.

This MUFE one is amazing, but less beige-ness and more pinkness.

I swatched it with my Bourjois above.

Aaaaannnd the biggest purchase of March:

It's APRIL already?!
