Drugstore Haul #3

I'm going to take a small break from the Minneapolis Haul to quickly show you what I got at a recent stop to the drugstore. A friend sent me a snap on Snapchat of a Physicians Formula display she saw at Shoppers Drug Mart. Everything from the brand was on sale! You can thank her snap for this haul!




Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara

I finally got my hands on this mascara! I've been wanting to try this out for so long! I've heard great things about the brand and specifically this mascara. I'm a contact lens wearer and my eyes are usually pretty good with all mascaras with one exception. Because of the exception, I've been interested in trying out a mascara that is organic. Anyway, the sale for Physicians Formula products was 40% off, so I was finally able to justify buying this mascara.

I originally went in to buy the Jumbo Lash mascara but because of the sale, I decided to take a look at the mascara beside it. I'm glad I did! I usually shy away from the Physicians Formula section as everything is super expensive considering it's a drugstore brand. This mascara claims to enhance the length, thickness, and volume of your lashes. I've tried this out a couple times and so far it's been pretty awesome. The brush is a little big but it's manageable. 

Essence "All About Nudes" Eyeshadow Palette

This was a bit of an impulse buy. I have been looking for a dupe for Too Faced's Silk Teddy. One of the colours in this palette looks quite similar. I still need to physically compare them but I'm hoping they're a match. I also really like the other colours in this palette. They're all wearable shades, especially the dark brown colour. I'm not going to be upset if this palette doesn't contain a dupe for Silk Teddy as it was only $4.99! If this palette works out well, I'm definitely interested in trying out Essence's All About Chocolate palette.

This may come at a bit of a surprise, but I bought nail polish! For some reason I'm not a fan of nail polish. I find it heavy and I feel like I can't do anything with my hands when I have polish on my fingers. I've recently been giving nail polish a try once again. It doesn't seem to bother my toes as much as my fingers. I've been reaching for clear coats or pale pinks, but because Fall is fast approaching, I decided to try out a darker shade. I kind of wanted to go black but my friend who is a polish ADDICT, convinced me to dry a different dark shade. I took her advice and went with this deep purple. From a far, my nails look black but up close or in the light you can definitely tell that it's purple. Not sure why, but I find that super cool! I love it so much I'm considering putting some on my fingernails. Still a bit skeptical but who knows, I might give it a try.

Have you recently bought a drugstore product that you've been dying to try? What shade of nail polish is your favourite to wear during the fall season?
