You won't catch me near a mall on Boxing Day, but the day after...well, that's a different story. Most stores carry their Boxing Day sales throughout the week anyways, so I would rather maintain my sanity and hit the stores during the calm after the storm.
The bulk of my Boxing Week "hauling" (someone really needs to come up with a better term than hauling) is compromised of Benefit products. I was downtown Vancouver and Holt Renfrew carries different Benefit Creaseless Creams than Sephora (and vice versa) and they are all the same price. There are still a few shades that I don't have but they aren't must-haves or completely unique shades so I will skip them (for now). My new shades are:
- Gossip (Holt Renfrew)
- Purple Snap (Sephora)
- Samba-Dy Loves Me (Holt Renfrew)
- Sippin' N Dippin' (Holt Renfrew)
Comparison and Dupes
In the jar, Sippin' N Dippin' looks very similar to MAC's Rubenesque and Let Me Pop pain pots, but when they are swatched it is much more opaque and the consistency/texture is far superior to the MAC paint pots.
I will review the rest of the products in individual posts otherwise this will reach manuscript length.
What exciting finds did you pick up over Boxing Week?
I think a few bloggers suggested "shopping spree" instead of "haul" :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, that might work. But when I think of shopping spree, I think of a lot of purchases and a lot of $$$. I wonder who keyed the term "haul"?
ReplyDeleteWas there a sale at Holts for these products?
ReplyDeleteThe Bay and Holts were having $10 off of beauty purchases. I don't know if the promo is still on.
