I'm addicted to Shoppers Drug Mart. It started off small. I found a foundation there that just rocked my world. Then it turned into more. I found a facial cleanser, then a moisturizer, then an exfoliter and it kept going. It has now reached to even my hair products. I am now fully a Shoppers Drug customer. 
Now what does not help this obessession is their magazine you get when you sign up for their Optima Card (points card for purchases there). The magazine shows me all kinds of different things that my eyes all a flutter. In this months addition they had Miss Universe, she is from Canada, Quebec I believe, anyway, her eyeshadow is so pretty on the cover. And of course my makeup addiction, which does not help my Shoppers addiction, went into over drive. I admit I used to be a Wally World addict, but since moving to Canada I find their Wally Worlds less then up to parr. So I guess I have found my new place to walk through and goo goo over stuff. LOL So I thought I would list the things I have bought there over time and tell of the things that I think are worth for you checking into. Now unfortunately I think some of this stuff is Canadian only, so I'm sorry my US friends. :P
- Marc Anthony Hair Products. I ran out of my shampoo and thought I would try something new. I found his products and they are great. I use his shampoo and conditioner for Brunettes. Its great stuff. And if you have fine hair, his conditioner won't weigh your hair down.
- Avene-Diroseal. I have problems with red checks. I'm not sure what its from. I can only think its from my sensitive skin. Anyway, this stuff is for localized redness. It works wonders! Amazing stuff.
- Biotherm/Biosource. This is an exfliant for your face. Its wonderful as well. I only use it once a week. It has done wonders for me and I love it. I also used their Aquasource moisturizer. Another amazing product.
- Last, Modele. Its a collagen lip treatment. Now, I wasn't using it for the collagen, although I do need it. LOL I love the fullness I now see, but I like the feel of my lips. Anyway, this what they say, "Reduces the appearance of wrinkles up to 30%, Improves hydration up to 60%, Restores volume up to 40%" I have noticed they hydration and the wrinkles. I am seeing more volume, but I don't know if its just me seeing it, LOL, so I'm not going to say at this point. LOL
Anyway, I just thought I would have a light moment and a girlie moment. I just needed a moment to look at something other then the junk around me. :P
Hope y'all are well! Blessings!!!

Jewels,
This is getting a little freaky... I am a Walgreen's fanatic. Anytmie my husband wants to do something special for me, he will take me up there and let me go down the makeup aisle and pick something out!! While L'ancome is my first love, I've had to improvise a little because i don't make the money i once did...or i just got more bills!
Oh, this is funny! I heard a lady on the radio the other day...she was talking about organizing the home. She got to the bathroom part and said that women have about 372 items in the bathroom, while men have eleven!! I believe it!!
Well, I'm out of bodywash, so i've got to head out to Walgreens!
Hey!
LOL oh the life! ;)
What I like about Shoppers is that they have name brand cosmetics as well. They have Dior, Smashbox, Lancome, and others. Its amazing. But what is really cool is that their consultants are for the whole shop, not just one brand. so they kindof make sure you get what you need instead of whatever brand they are selling. I'm a huge makeup snob, so this place has broken through that. I used to only wear Clinque, MAC and Estee Lauder. I mean my cleanser right now is Cetaphil!!! LOL how crazy is that, but this is the best my skin has looked in a long time. :P go figure.
but then they have that Wal-Martie type stuff. ya know? so I like to roam. LOL
oh, do you like eyeshadow? I tried Physcians Formula before? they have a new eyeshadow line called Baked Collection. I got their Baked Butter. I love it. :P
check out a pic of this place, INSANE!!! LOL http://www.shoppersdrugmart.ca/english/beauty/beauty_boutique/index.html
I wish we had that shop!
I used to use Cetaphil a while back...it's very gentle.
I LOVE physicians formula, but haven't tried their shadow. In the summer, i put my sunscreen on (i use spf 30 all year long) then put P.F. powder on, and it feels like i have foundation on...the combination is great for days i want to be light.
This conversation could to ON, and ON and ON!
What mascara do you use?
If you were on a desert island and could only have one makeup item what would it be? For me, it's mascara.
I would have to take foundation or lip balm. LOL
I actually use Maybellne Blackest Black now. I watched a thing with some makeup artist and that is what they mostly use. I really like it. Use the one with the curved brush. before that I was use Clinque one and right now the name escapes me. :P Mary Kay has a good one too.
I am now using a specail foundation called FX. its amazing product. it evens out my skin.
anyway, look up that eyeshadow. its really awesome.
I love makeup. *sigh* LOL
What about Bare Escentuals? The mineral based line? I think i have upwards of twenty of their little pots of eye shadow. Its great because it's all natural and you don't even have to worry about taking it off before bed.
