SDM Redemption Haul

Shoppers Drug Mart had its beauty bonus redemption points this past weekend. I have accumulated enough optimum points to do a $200 redemption. Usually, I would redeem points for products I would not usually get. Since I am home in Toronto visiting family, might as well went to a beauty boutique and redeem higher end products.

The beauty boutique I went to carry a lot of the prestige brands, such as Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Stila, Urban Decay, Origins etc and I picked up a few products which I have been eyeing for a while.

Dior Addict Lip Glow

"A sheer balm that enhances your natural lip color while moisturizing and protecting the skin. "

I have been hearing lots of great reviews about this awesome lip balm. I love lip balm which is more subtle but still give a natural enhancement of your lip color. Once you apply this on your lips, in a few minutes, it would darken and adjust to your lip color. 

Origins United State Balancing Tonic

I am almost out of my current toner and I enjoy Origins products a lot. So decided to pick this one up and try it out.

Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream

Another Origins product I picked up is this GinZing eye cream. I am an eye cream junkie and decided to try this new eye cream which claims to help with de-puffiness and dark circles. 

Le Blush Creme De Chanel in 62 Presage

Comes with a velvet pouch

I believe Chanel just released this line of cream blushes. There are 6 shades to choose from. When you first swatch it, it feels like powder. It is crazy crazy pigmented. I picked up this shade, 62 Presage, which is a coral shade. The other shades are very pretty but more pink and bright. You only need a tiny tiny bit for your cheeks. This one is fairly reasonably-priced at $40 for a Chanel product.

Dior 5 Couleurs Mystic Metallics Palette

Last but not least, is my most excited product of the whole bunch. This is the Dior fall 2013 collection eye shadow palette. Comes with 5 gorgeous shades, which include a shimmering cream highlight color, an olive brown shade, a bronze-taupe matte color, a beautiful turquoise shimmering shade and a rich greyish blue shade.

The palette is so pretty with the stars embedded. I don't usually splurge on high end eye shadow quads/palettes. They are mostly very shimmery and often times, I can only use 2 shades out of the whole palette. This one, I find all the shades are usable for every day wear. Yes, this is quite pricey at  $60 I believe. That is why I would get this only when I redeem my points for.
