Haulage Week! Essence, L’Oréal & OPI

fivezero2 Comments

Happy April Fool’s Day!

This week, I’ll be posting about some little hauls I’ve made recently, rather than swatches and reviews. Here’s the haulage post schedule for this week:

The last installment of Haulage Week! includes two items from Dollarama and one from Shoppers Drug Mart. From the dollar store, I picked up a purple L’Oréal mascara and one of the ugliest shades of OPI ever seen, for CA$3 apiece. From the drugstore, I got the much raved about Essence gel top coat on sale for CA$2.99.

I can normally only use waterproof mascaras due to my extremely stubborn lashes that uncurl in a slightly humid bathroom, but ever since I have been using a Korean waterproof mascara undercoat, I’ve been able to enjoy using regular mascaras! So L’Oréal Voluminous Miss Manga Mascara in Purple Pop was mine at the cool price of $3.

Dollarama also sometimes has OPI polishes, and they’ve recently had heaps of one particular shade: Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window. (I get motion sickness very easily, so this kind of speaks to me on a personal level.) As you might have guessed, it’s a kind of vomit-y, pea green shade. I’ve passed on it many times, but this time I finally bit the bullet. I might save the swatch for Halloween!

Finally, there’s been so much hype about Essence The Gel Nail Polish Top Coat that I spotted it on sale last week for $2.99 and immediately bought it. I change my polish too often to test it out properly on my fingernails, so I’ll have to try it on my toenails, instead.

Enjoy the weekend, and I should be back with swatches and reviews on Monday!

Haulage! Dollarama (Canada) — OPI, Nicole by OPI, Sally Hansen, & Minions

My local Dollarama (Canadian dollar store chain) usually just has some Sally Hansen, Wet n Wild, snakeskin Essies and loads of odd brands like Mariposa.

But I lucked out this week and found some OPI and Nicole by OPI (they usually have the latter, but in really boring/unfortunate colors) that piqued my interest.

Minions, Despicable Me, excited applause

I guess browns and golds are not as popular, so they end up at the dollar store! The masses’ loss is my gain!

Dollarama Deals (Canada) — Burt’s Bees Honey Lip Balm

I found Burt’s Bees Lip Balm (made in USA) at Dollarama for CA$2. It retails for $4.89. Admittedly, it’s not my absolute favorite lip balm, but for $2, I’ll throw it into one of my handbags permanently.
