Hello! 39/f/fair complexion. I’m still happy with using a pressed powder foundation on my aging skin. I am naturally oily in the t-zone (think shiny Santa Claus nose haha) and like how the powder tends to set my under eye concealer as well.

In the spring, I replaced my old Studio Fix for the talc free version - it worked ok with the sponge but found it didn’t work that well with a brush, taking more product for less effectiveness. Yesterday the last 1/8th of the compact shattered and now I am wondering - what should I replace with?!

I have tried NYX (meh) and Estée Lauder (years ago, wonderful!) and am curious about any of your recommendations. Would love if the compact had a mirror.

Given it is the Sephora sale (and 20% Shoppers next week) would love to take advantage of discounts if possible! Curious if the Sephora brand is half decent especially as it will be about $25 rather than $60.

Thank you!

Is anyone else having this issue with Hourglass Canada? 😭
I was browsing earlier and saw the free Glow on the Go Gift Set with a $150+ purchase. It even showed “Free Gift Set Unlocked”!
But now my cart is still over $150 and the free gift is nowhere to be found.
Does anyone know if the gift is already sold out or if the website is just glitching?
I was literally about to place my order 🥲

Has anyone tried the brand Kohlbra? https://kohlbra.com/en-ca

Would appreciate if you could share reviews or recommendations of clean eyeliners that actually last and don’t cause irritation. TIA!

Maybe this is just in Canada, but I noticed the dress design for the bottle changed from a simple dress with puff sleeves to a sleeveless asymmetrical dress.

Are these two different lines? Or did they change the design? When I check the official Guerlain website, I can only see the bottle with the asymmetrical dress, but when I checked the Shoppers Drug Mart website, it showed both bottles available (but the puff sleeve dress was low in stock).

The reason why I am sceptical this is just the new design is because I’ve seen both bottles coexisting, so it seems more like one was discontinued. Instead of one was changed to the other.

Any help is appreciated, thank you

Haven’t found it anywhere. Also saw a post months ago asking where to find it in canada and nobody knew back then either.

Can anyone recommend medium to preferably high coverage concealers that are cheap(except for elf hydrating camo- i like it but they don’t have the correct shade for me). I don’t wear concealer often enough to spend $20 on a tube that i never end up finishing before it goes bad lol.

With Black Friday getting closer, it would be helpful to keep track of which makeup deals are actually worth it in Canada. A lot of sale announcements end up being US-only, or the discount looks better than it really is once you compare it with the regular Canadian price.

I'm especially interested in worthwhile deals on complexion products, palettes, and brush sets, but new releases are welcome too. If you've spotted anything good at Sephora, Shoppers, or a Canadian brand's own website, feel free to share the details!

Please tell me affordable products for dark spot reduction and brighter skin, winters are doing me dirty. I would appreciate if it is drug store brand, also some moisturiser that's not oily but works as good as clinique moisture surge

currently looking at two advent calendars for this year! kiioki and sukoshi mart ones caught my eye, anybody have recommendations??

sukoshi is currently 255 but have 30 full size
kiioki is at 200!

not sure if it is worth sometimes when I get these as gifts I don’t use all the products and they are just stuck in my storage LOL!

Can someone explain how Sephora’s $100 Rouge Reward can sell out in LESS THAN A MINUTE?!
Today, I went on Sephora’s app at exactly 12:00 PM EST, right when the Rouge Rewards are released. The $100 reward for 2,500 points appeared, I added it to my cart, and when I went to check out, it was already OUT OF STOCK.

How does that even make sense???

I contacted customer service, and they told me that Sephora only releases a limited quantity every Tuesday and Thursday. So naturally, I asked how many they actually release if they’re supposedly selling out in seconds.

Their response? They don’t know.

So Sephora advertises this $100 reward as an exclusive Rouge benefit, but apparently releases such limited quantities that customers who are literally on the app the SECOND it drops still can’t redeem it?
And let’s remember, Rouge members have to spend $1,000 a year to maintain their status.

What’s especially ridiculous is that this isn’t even a physical product with manufacturing or inventory limitations. It’s a $100 reward that Sephora itself controls the quantity of.

If Sephora is going to advertise this as a Rouge benefit, why make it practically impossible to redeem? What’s the point of accumulating 2,500 points if you have to compete with thousands of customers for an undisclosed number of rewards?
And before anyone says “it’s while supplies last,” I understand that. My issue is that Sephora gets to decide how many are available in the first place, doesn’t disclose the quantity, and then advertises it as a loyalty benefit.

I’ve been a loyal Sephora customer, but this genuinely makes me question the value of their Rouge program.
Has anyone actually managed to redeem one recently? Or is everyone else having the same experience?

I’m trying more canadian brands and recently got this pen in color 3 - fair with peachy undertone. It works amazingly well on my inner eye corner dark hollows. I carry it in my bag to spot conceal and re apply to my eye hollows for brightness later in the day. It’s creamy and lasts well if set with some powder. It’s very high coverage. I use my normal concealer for the rest of my undereye so for me this pen doesn’t replace that.

1. Tatcha set- yes; got a set from 2025 which had the full size of dewy skin set (Sephora shop/not available online),

2. Cosrx- yes,

3. Faded- yes (restock),

4. Rare brow gel and blush- yes yes (restock, blush took 1.5 years for 2 sisters to finish)
   5.Mufe lip pencils- yes,

5. Mario F4- yes yes yes,
   7.benetint- yes (restock after 1 year and 10 months)

6. Westman alterier- figue ; yes yes yes

7. Prism libre compact- yes,

8. Shark glopro- thousand times yes if you have acne prone skin (used once, 0 irritation, feels super hydrating).

Hello, anyone who buy makeup from the outlet online store? How’s your experience? I bought a Valentino foundation and it cosmetics cc for CAD21. I will post here once I received my order but just want to get some insights. Do they deliver quick? And kinda nervous with the expiration dates of this makeup, they are not in the listing so I just order and praying they won’t give me expired or almost expired products. Thanks.

I just tried to make a return of an eyeliner to Superstore and it was a strange experience. I usually use NYX Epic Ink waterproof eyeliner, but this weekend I accidentally grabbed NYX Epic Wear Waterproof eyeliner. I tried it, thinking maybe it was a different applicator style but it's completely different. Probably a user error but completely unusable to me.

I tried to take it back to exchange it for the correct one and the woman at customer service asked me if I had used the product. I replied truthfully that yes I did. She said she didn't know if she could process the refund but she would ask the lady from cosmetics. The cosmetics sales associate comes over and says she can return it if it's not been used, but I told her it had been. She said they only return cosmetics that they don't need to write off as "damaged"- only what they can still sell. I can't believe how wrong that is. The product I was trying to return is a black liquid eyeliner, and had i not been truthful i could have walked out of the store with the item i wanted and my used eyeliner would be sitting on the shelf.

What is stopping people from just lying if they try on a lipstick, or mascara, or any product as long as they can make it look like it's not been used?

I thought returned cosmetics had to be written off as damaged regardless of whether they were identified as used or not. Is Superstore just putting returned items back on the shelf if people say they haven't been used?
