Can only be found in Walmart! Hard Candy prices in America and in Canada are the exact same! It is one of the few brands that stay consistent with their prices. However I have never seen them on sale unless they were discontinuing the item.
HERE IS THE VIDEO:
** As you notice, I spend more time with my video than my blog posts. I apologize!!
While I find these super pigmented some of the shades can come out chalky. Be careful of fallout. For the price it is totally worth it and one of my reached palettes!
I am pretty sure all my posts are inspired by my videos I
create... whoops sorry!
HERE'S THE VIDEO:
My friend requested I do this tag! So I
did this one for her :)
1. What is the
oldest item in your wardrobe/closet?
My purple sesame street shirt. I got this shirt way back in the day maybe when I was 11. I think that's a reasonable age to still be watching sesame street...
2. What is the
newest item?
I realize the winter jacket I mentioned was literally the last thing I bought because I haven't gone clothes shopping in forever. It was meant for the winter... AND vancouver likes to lag behind its still cold and rainy sometimes so that is when I crack out the jacket I got from RW&Co.
3. What is the
most expensive item?
Chanel clutch I got in Japan. I cant find it anywhere online. BOO.
4. What is the
cheapest/most affordable item? (that you wear/use a lot!)
Forever 21 Tank top. I wear a different colour everyday. I wish I was kidding
5. What was
the biggest bargain?
LC skinny Jeans! They were originally $60 and I got them for $6!! That't 90% off.
6. What was
the biggest waste of money?
Colourful neon dress I got from Urban Outfitters. Still haven't worn it.
BONUS QUESTION
- Show us your three favourite items right now!
I LOVE this mascara!It has all the criteria I look for in a mascara. I got the waterproof edition.
It looks really natural. Super voluminous at the root, lengthens at the tip of your eyelashes! I've worn it and forgotten it is on me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
I got mine from superstore for $6.99. Let me know what you think!
Today I wanted to talk about one of the underdog cosmetics line which isn't very popular partly because it is so hard to find!! Essence is one a really low-cost drugstore make up line that is in the ballpark range with Wet n Wild, NYC, and E.L.F.
If you are Canadian you can find all the products at Shoppers Drug Mart.
For the purpose of this blog post all the prices will be listed in USD and links will be to Ulta for Americans. The shoppers website does not list the prices and you cannot purchase these online either.
Here is the video response if you don't want to read through all the questions!
