Spotted: Great Deal @ Superstore

Another short & quick "Spotted" post for my Canadian readers!
Passed by Superstore after dinner and picked up two Joe Fresh cosmetic products - both from the Holiday 2010 collection.


From L-to-R: Joe Fresh 5 Must Have Brushes; $9.50 (down from $19) and Nail Set of 3; $5.00 (down from $10).

Both of these sets are currently on "quick sale" for 50% off ontop of their sale price which means they're actually $4.75 and $2.50! Remember, the sets have to have the pink 50% off sticker in order for the discount to work and TELL YOUR CASHIER TO APPLY THE DISCOUNT. Cashiers usually don't check for the pink sticker and scan the item as is but these items are reduced for clearance!
Joe Fresh 5 Minute Holiday Face Palette(?) is reduced to $9.50. No pink 50% off sticker so I didn't grab that. Maybe next time!

Quality of the Products:
I haven't washed the brushes yet but they feel soft but not teddy bear soft. It has that "one hair is hard and scratch but the rest is A-OK". The Blush brush, Large Eye Shadow brush and Crease Brush pick up powder products well but I have yet to try t he Eyeliner brush or Concealer brush.
Definitely worth the buy if you haven't tried Joe Fresh cosmetic brushes before. I mean, it only comes out to be like a dollar per brush!

The nail set contains Joe Fresh nail polish in Onyx, Steel and Beet. I've tried them all already and the formula is good in Onyx and Steel. Beet requires three coats for perfect opacity. I can still see a little bit of my nail bed with two coats of Beet even though the color is so dark?! :\
Steel is opaque in ONE coat but applies thick (do not mistake thick for goopy!). Onyx requires two coats and it's a solid steel grey/black - best if you don't want straight black nails!

Really short but I hope everyone else spots these deals at their local Superstore!

TTFN,
Ashley :)

Spotted: ELF & "Too Faced" @ Winners

I'm going to make this quick & short since I don't have many photos of my sightings but, here I go:
I've been to three different Winners in the past week & have found....
A) Limited Edition ELF 11-piece Studio Brush Set (glittery one) for $24.99 (versus $20.11/$30 on ELF website)
B) A knock-off or replica of Too Faced Smoky Eye Palettes for $7.99.
C) Alicia Silverstone for EcoTools 6-piece Brush Set for $16.99. Different from the ones I purchased at London Drugs. It comes housed in a 2 or 3 compartment cosmetic pouch.

Follow me on Twitter if you like to be updated on great/weird finds. I go out quite often & tweet photos of said great/weird finds. It's easier than doing separate "Spotted" posts as sometimes I only find one or two things at a time. That's it for now, thanks for reading!
