I found a Well.ca coupon (Spend $40 get $10 off) which I shared the other day on my twitter, and here is what I picked out! Well.ca is basically your online drugstore based in Guelph, ON and they offer FREE SHIPPING in Canada with no minimum purchase. I've wanted to order them for a while now, but nothing really interested me. For some products, their prices can a bit pricier since they are offering free shipping. They also carry specific items that you can't normally find in a Canadian drugstore - like organic products, natural products, Canadian-based products, Milani, Duo eyelash glue, etc. etc. Here is what I picked up and my quick thoughts on the products!
1. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pink Pop and Coral Reef - I actually saw these in my local SDM the other day, but held back because it was $10+. Well.ca actually had them for $8.79. I probably could've just went with one of these, because they look very similar in colour on my lips since they are naturally pretty pigmented. They are a little sticky, but just the right amount of sticky for it to last long These will be perfect for Spring/Summer :)
2. Milani HD Advanced Concealer in Light ($10.99) - A clickity click concealer! I contemplated between this and L'oreal Touche Magique but Milani was only available in certain Sears. I never remember to go to Sears just to get this, so when I saw Well.ca had Milani brand products I had to try it! Initial thoughts - the texture is light and fluffy, great for the undereyes, covers redness pretty well, can be used to brighten areas. Would love to try the YSL one someday!
3. Revlon Illuminance Creme Eyeshadow Quad in Not Just Nudes ($9.25) - I was skeptical about getting this because years back I bought one of these creme eyeshadows and they were so chalky and dry. They have improved since then! These are super creamy and blends so easily. The colours are beautiful and perfect for everyday wear and it also includes a long mirror that spans across the palette!
4. Burt's Bees Baby Bee Nourishing Baby Oil ($9.97 for 115 mL) - I saw this on the site which I've never seen in store before. So I decided to google some reviews on it before I bought it. On Makeupalley.com it had a 4.3/5.0 from 184 reviews. If you've been to this site, you would know that kind of rating is rare!! People claimed that it was excellent for dry skin during winter and used it once they get out of the shower without towel drying. They also raved about smelling like yummy apricots for hours! My initial thoughts - I used it yesterday and felt weird about slathering oil all over my body, but it absorbed very quickly and it really really did smell GOOD. I love it! :) Wish I could use this everyday, but it's quite pricey for such a small bottle! :(
All in all, I loved everything I picked out from Well.ca and the shipping was super fast! Everything was intact (I was terrified that the baby oil would leak and spill everywhere) and it only took 3 days to arrive! I will definitely consider purchasing from them again. Hopefully they will carry even more brands, and have more appealing weekly sales.
Onto some Urban Decay NYC Palette swatches!
So I realized, you can't even buy this at Sephora anymore? Is that true? But I decided to share the swatches anyways because they are AMAZING. And in case they sell these individually or if they decide to include these colours again in present/future palettes.
I love the range of colours they offer. Personally, I'm really scared of colour, but this palette makes me want to step out of that bubble :)
Award to the most fun colour - Midnight Cowboy Rides Again - very shimmery light pink/taupe! Favourites from above picture - Smog, Maui Wowie, Haight.
(Sorry for the faded swatches at the end towards my hand!) Uzi is definitely lots of fun with the chunky glitters! My favourites from above picture - Bordello - lovely purple/pink shimmer, Snatch - peachy shimmer, and Snatch. Sorry for my horrible explanation of colours, but this definitely is a fun palette and I had a lot of fun swatching them on my arm and finding out how silky, pigmented and beautiful the colours were :)
Happy Friday and thanks for visiting! xoxo

Oh I love the lipglosses too! The shades are simply gorgeous!
And the colors from this palette look so beautiful! Psychedelic Sister reminds of Stars'n'Rocket from MAC!
u mak me wanna try burts bee oil now. ive been looking into the brand to try something other than thir lip stuff =P and UD never disappoints do they? love the swatches!!
Hey Jenny! You can buy Milani products at Zehrs! You don't have to go to sears for it :) Im sure its cheaper at Zehrs anyway. I dont knwo if they have the whole collention, but I know I have seen it there
Nice swatches! I love UD<3 I have the Revlon lipgloss in Coral Reef too! :D
I've been wanting to buy from well.ca as well! But I can never find enough stuff to make the $40 cut to use the coupon. How long did the shipping take??
lovely lip glossess <33
Such bright colors! I encourage you to step out of the box(;
Nice haul! I loove that palette, use it pretty much everyday :)
i just bought the revlon lipglosses in the exact same shades you did 2 weeks ago, but they're still sealed and brand new, I'm keeping them for summer but am pretty bummed out, that they don't show up as much on the lips, so are they sheer glosses? because I read so many reviews saying that they are pigmented :/ Oh and I don't want to open them up yet because I keep opening stuff and leave them there. So yeah I would love to hear your thoughts haha xx
The glosses look gorgeous! I love Revlon lipgloss.
I don't think I have heard about Burt's Bees Baby Oil before, but I sure could use it on my super dry skin!
Absolutely LOVE the swatches from the UD NY palette :) Last Call is such a gorgeous color!! Love your well haul! Let me know how you like the super lustrous lipgloss :)
By the way! I tagged you for an award <3
ooo love the swatches!! the colors are very nice!
The baby oil looks super interesting! I used to use burts bees lip balm, the one with the cooling sensation? But I found it a bit too waxy and not enough moisture for me so I switched brands, but I always and still do hear rave reviews about their other products! Though I do agree with you on price, it's a little more for a drug store brand =P
OMG yeah darn you eyelash curler!!!! OMG I was so sad when I found out I totally freaked out and my bf thought I left something SUPER important at home lol! Did I mention I also forgot to pack pads? My strawberry came and I had to buy super expensive pads at the hotel store T_T o0o0o0o walmart, the savior of all things! I actually almost never stepped off disney property besides taking the shuttle to the other parks hahaha
I love leggings!!! I can't live without them too, I find jean and even jeggings too "hard" and "rough" now haha Im so pampered in leggings =P Though I did find a pair of jeggings I like from Aritzia but it turned out to be 250$!!! omggg....
@beautymark3d - OOo thanks for letting me know kayla!
@priincess emily - shipping was quick - 3 days!
@Dyna - they are somewhat pigmented - not as pigmented as the NYX ones. my lips are naturally pretty pigmented so the difference of colour between the two on my lips was minimal!
awh thx for replying jenny :)
My lips are pretty pigmented too so I think I won't like them as much as I hoped to :/
I have nyx glosses and they are pretty pigmented I was hoping they'd be somewhat similar, oh well. We'll see haha. Thanks again hunnyyy xxx
interesting... i never knew about milani getting that HD stamp on one of their lines. thanks for sharing! and those shades of gloss are pretty much what i'd get myself, too! nice picks.
awww... UD palettes aren't locally available from where im at... booo. and seeing those amazing swatches make me boooo all the more.
I definitely will :)
Those Revlon Lipglosses are to die for!!
oooh. I've always wanted to try Milani but it's always empty whenever I visit it @ Superstore. Thank you for posting the site! And UD shadows look so gorgeous!
My eyes went straight to the Midnight Cowboy Rides again looking @ your swatches. Must refrain myself from visiting Sephora!
Great buys babe! Love the UD palette :D. Makes me wish I bought it... I guess I'll keep an eye out for the next one and hopefully get that one :]
wow, gorgeous colours.
