Shoppers Drug Mart Best of Beauty: Fall & Winter 2019

Every season Shoppers Drug Mart releases a list of their latest and greatest beauty products and this year it's all about skincare!

The Life Brand Moisturizing Hydrogel Lip Mask ($4.99) couldn’t have come at a better time. Everyone in my family is complaining about dry, chapped lips and slathering on extra balm is not always enough.

This lush formula is infused with vitamin E, collagen and berry extracts to nourish, soften and rejuvenate your pout. I definitely need to stock-up for the holiday season.

While your lips are bathing in vitamin serum, try the Oh K! Chok Chok Smoothing Under Eye Mask ($5.99). These refreshing gel patches contain vitamin C and chamomile to soothe and brighten tired peepers. They are also vegan and cruelty free!

The first thing I do when I get home is remove my makeup, take a hot shower and dive right into my skincare routine. No matter how tired you are there is no excuse to sleep in foundation.

To make the task easier, Quo Facial Wipes ($10.00) are always readily available on my bathroom counter. The cucumber and micellar formulas remove impurities, excess oil and makeup without irritating eyes or sensitive skin and the cloths are thick, durable and moist.

It is always beneficial to use a multi-step cleansing method and the Tea Tree Foaming Face Wash ($9.99) eliminates dirt, sebum and pollutants while preventing and treating breakouts. The formula is mild enough for daily use and leaves skin feeling fresh and revitalized.

To exfoliate while you cleanse, try the Quo Facial Sponge ($8.00) shaped like a rose. It gently buffs away rough skin and abolishes lingering making for a supple finish. The little carrying case is super cute! I’ll probably use it as a beauty blender travel pouch because the mesh allows sponges to air dry.

For advanced skin resurfacing try the No7 Protect and Perfect Serum Activating Pads ($26.00) enriched with 10% glycolic glow complex containing AHA and PHA to remove dead cells. If you are a bit sensitive to exfoliation like I am, refrain from using the pads with scrubs, pore purifying clay masks, cleansing brushes, abrasive treatments and even the Quo Facial Sponge until you know how your skin reacts. The serum is formulated to promote a clear, youthful glow while smoothing lines and wrinkles.

I’ve read rave reviews about the Catrice Primers ($9.99 ea) and now I know what all the hype is about. These silky bases are a must for flawless makeup.

Goodbye Pores provides a lovely soft-focus effect. The lightweight, silky cream refines pores, blurs wrinkles and smooths to perfection. It also prevents transfer and prolongs wear.

Keep Me Matte is a moisturizing base that minimizes unwanted shine and controls oil for a fresh-faced effect. It does not seem to blur roughness and skin texture as well as Goodbye Pores but it does improve the look of foundation.

The Quo Prep and Prime Facial Brush ($20.00) is designed to apply primer, serum, moisturizer sunscreen, and oils more efficiently. I never considered using a brush to apply these products but I absolutely love it! The bristles are soft and flexible so you can buff everything in for better absorption.

Nude By Nature’s Satin Liquid Lipstick ($23.00) is highly pigmented, velvety and full-coverage. The creamy formula contains sweet almond oil, antioxidants, shea butter, plum and desert lime to keep lips soft and healthy. I love the satin-matte finish and gorgeous shade selection.
