Have any of you checked out make available at Shoppers Drug Mart? I picked up to Gosh lipstick pencils tonight to try out (clearance). They also carry Art Deco and Pur Minerals at the store closest to me. The city stores are often really good for brands. Any reviews of these lines?

I'm not in Canada... interesting about Art Deco. I don't have any of the make up but I've bought a few nail polishes in Switzerland and a friend's sends them to me. I really like them.

And Gosh I've always meant to try the make up product but again I've only used the polish. I have to liner that I bought on clearance too. But have never tried them.

Pür Minerals. I absolutely hate the pressed powder compact. But the lipstick I have is very nice. They have two new palettes that look neat to try. And if they have the skin care line. There is a make up remover Melt Away Emulsifier that is awesome.

I don't know anything about those ones, but the Annabelle kohl eyeliner pencils are my favorite and I stock up every time I go home, lol.

I had never heard of these lines of makeup, so I assumed it was just a crap product Shoppers was trying to sell. I keep hoping my local store will get a Benefit, Smashbox or UD section. I would be so happy!

Yeah they are actually pretty nice lines. Gosh is Danish I think. And Art Deco is German and at my Swiss Drugstore (not a all like the North American ones) it was trying to compete with Estee Lauder. Pur is at Ulta and Kohls in the US. I've heard mostly good things.

Maybe now that I have more info I'll check them out! I'll try out the Gosh lipstick pencils I bought and see how I like them, then think about other products. I'm excited since I like Shoppers point system. I'm almost at the top level so I can get my electric tooth brush!

Yup, I have a few Gosh lipsticks! I really like them. All our locations have Beauty Boutiques (Benefit, Lancome, Smashbox, UD etc.) I get my Cover FX concealer from Shoppers.

Me too.  I had to choose between Shoppers and Sephora for the points and I went with Sephora.  The Shoppers points add up pretty quickly though. Especially on 10x the points days etc.

I find at the big Shoppers locations, they often have a lot of the same stuff as Sephora. I've had a pretty easy time getting points at Shoppers. I used a bunch last summer to get a Canon Rebel camera. I much prefer that kind of point system compared to just samples at Sephora.

Nice! I love visiting the nice locations when I'm in the city. They are so awesome!! I don't think there are many products they don't sell that Sephora does at some.

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one wondering about this. I’ll take your advice and run with it. Those people north of the border always seem to be getting good deals.

Small town Shoppers locations often have great deals. Since they don't seem to sell as much of the high end stuff, sometimes it goes on clearance. I recently bought a $100 Dr Brandt eye cream for $20 since they were replacing older stock.
