Surprising Finds!!!

Have you ever gone shopping and then found stuffs that you didn't expect to come across?? That feeling is just like discovering some sorts of treasures!!!!! And what makes it even better??? How about a discounted price?? =)

I was shopping at Rexall (a Canadian drug store) the other day, and I actually have never been to a Rexall before (I usually shop at Shoppers Drug Mart) but I was going there to look for NYX products specifically. But what I found in the end was even more exciting.........

OMG, I was literally screaming inside my heart when I saw the Befine exfoliating cleanser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never knew that Rexall carries Befine products. In fact, I don't even know if they do because these Befine products are in the clearance section and there isn't another section for their products in the store. And since they are in the clearance section, they are all discounted!!!!!!!

I first heard about the Befine exfoliating cleanser from Ingrid, who is missglamorazzi on youtube and I think she got a sample of this cleanser in her Birchbox and she loves it. After that, I heard a few more girls on youtube raved about this cleanser and I was really interested to try it out. However, at that time, I couldn't really find a way to purchase this cleanser and I was telling myself that unfortunately this is another product that us Canadian don't get to try...=(

I guess I was wrong then!! And I'm so glad that I was wrong!!!!

Of course without any hesitation, I grabbed the exfoliating cleanser. I was thrilled when I got home and checked its retail price online. It is supposed to be $25 and I only paid about $12-14 for it (sorry I can't remember exactly the price and I don't have the receipt anymore)!!!!!

I have already used it once since I couldn't wait to try it out!! It is more abrasive than I thought it would be and you definitely need to massage the cleanser with a light hand. Since I have only used it once, I really don't want to comment too much yet. But maybe I will do a more detailed review on it after I have gathered more thoughts about the product.

I have also decided to pick up the Eye Brightening Treatment with avocado oil and it retails for $30 and I only paid about $17 for it!!! I have started to use it in conjunction with my Olay cucumber eye gel and I haven't tried it long enough to say anything about the product. However, I must say I don't really like the pump. I thought I would like the packaging since it is more sanitary but the pump is so hard to use. It always pumped out more products than I need and I have tried to push it slowly and gently but it is not cooperating.





That's why people say you never know what you are up to when you are shopping~ =P

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse

This is serious!!!!!! Because I don't think I have ever used up a foundation (I have hit pan on my Chanel powder foundation, but I haven't used it up entirely yet.)!!!@@ So this must be saying something~!!! 

I was really impressed when I tried this foundation in the drug store and I wasn't disappointed after I bought this. The application is really smooth, like its name, it really is Dream Smooth~~~~~  I just use the sponge it came with to apply this foundation and it made my morning foundation routine so quick and easy! The colour matches me pretty well and I wear #180 Nude Beige. 

#180 Nude Beige 

The formula is quite hydrating and I was probably using it the most throughout February to April which is still quite cold and dry here in Canada but this foundation still performed well~ 

I will say the coverage is probably medium and the main reason why I haven't been using it as much later was because my skin has been breaking out so badly (not because of this foundation) that I need some more coverage. Also, this foundation is not very long-lasting (at least on my skin) but perhaps adding a setting powder could improve its longevity. 

Overall, I am definitely impressed by this foundation and I am happy that I have found a drug store foundation that I like. =)
