EDITED:Nov.08.09
I re did this post, cause I found some more, and just wanted to rearrange things…
First off, ELF is now available at ZELLERS Canada!
They unfortunately only sell kits, meaning you cannot just buy one single item. Also they look like…special items. Not the usual white brushes, nor the black studio brushes. But generally the products are the same (eyeshadows are circular instead of the quads, polish bottles look like OPI and not the rectangular ones, that kind of difference)
The kits range from 4.99CAN to 13.99CAN.
(you can sometimes find lipgloss kits, or face kits at Winners Canada as well, and they are priced a tad cheaper than those at Zellers, depending on which one you get.)
If you want individual items, check out Toma @ the Makeup Mix, where she makes those goodies available to us, at the American price, with free shipping to Canada and the US on orders over $20US. I have ordered from her a handful of times, and have enjoyed the experience every time.

These were found at CLOVERDALE MALL, in the Westend of Toronto (Etobicoke). (Seen Oct.30.09)

These were found at WOODBINE MALL, in the Westend of Toronto (Rexdale). As you can see they had a vast selection of kits. These weren’t found in the typical Beauty section, I saw them near the Christmas and Halloween discount section. (Seen Nov.08.09)

ps thank you to those who left comments/emails of encouragement. I really do appreciate it. I know I’m not alone, when it comes to having difficulties in life, but sometimes it can be tad overwhelming. Luckily I have been blessed with people who care enough to leave a little message, hug, or lend a listening ear. Thank you.

So I guess I just wanted to write words of…a bit of encouragement.

I had…well our family almost had a minor simmering issue blow up in a huge boil over this week…
And yet…on the day I found out, that the problem might get out of hand…another person had posted something that helped us out.
It isn’t a complete fix forever, just a temporary get out of jail card…
but it was something that couldn’t have come at a better time.
So though sometimes…it seems…like nothing can get you out of a jam…hang in there ladies and gentlemen…
Help comes in so many different ways…
Often somewhat humourous to us mere humans…but all part of the perfect plan.
It is SO FREAKING hard to remember that…that we aren’t alone…
but thankfully we have reminders to help remind us :)
Anyway lets hope I can keep remembering, and keep pushing forward.

Well I’m going to be a tad busy this week…cause…of family, but will be reading all your fun post on your respective blogs XD Can’t wait to see what you all have in store.
ps. OMG IMATS IN A MONTH XD

FINALLY!
I know it can get annoying to ship to another country, because rates differ by weight and size and all that jazz.
But!
$20 was a bit much to Canada. On top of that we were ’surprised’ with duty fees afterwards. Even if the product was made in the US…
Anyway I got this email, so it was something that I might look forward to…
Thank you for your continued support of HauteLook. We’re excited to announce important new changes for our Canadian customers! We’re still the place where you’ll find the world’s best brands at exclusive, members-only prices up to 75% off retail. But now, you’ll save even more!
Canadian members will enjoy a new $10.95 flat rate shipping fee along with an 18% International Surcharge covering all duties and taxes – that’s it! The all-inclusive charge will be added to your order at the time of checkout, which means there will be no surprise costs upon receipt of your HauteLook purchase.
As a valued HauteLook member, we also want to remind you to:
* Shop sale events daily: We’ll send you an email announcing new sale events. You can also preview the week’s upcoming sales 24/7 on our website.
* Get here early: Sale events start at 8 AM PT/11 AM ET and run 36-72 hours. Be sure to log in early for the widest selection.

Anyway Hautelook first started out as a referral only sign up thing…
but they have since opened it up so anyone can sign up and buy.
BUT if you use a referral link, both you and the referral individual get $10 each, valid only when you make your first purchase.
So if you don’t mind using a referral link, I would appreciate it…
Otherwise if you don’t believe in referral just head on over to their main page and sign up from there :)
Now that they have lowered their price, do you think it is more enticing to buy things from them when it looks like a good deal??

So the other day, I DROOLED over the haul that Sparkled Beauty got at her local Winners.
Needless to say, I was on a mission to get a few of my own XD
I had an appointment to attend for my dad, at Mt Sinai.
(Seriously, being bounced around from specialist to specialist isn’t fun at all. Especially when they all (80% of them) act quite high and mighty.)
And luckily that means that I am close to the Winners at College and Yonge.
Unfortunately for me though, I found an Ecotools Eyeliner brush for 3.99 CAN, and no UD that was untested by curious shoppers…so I proceeded on my mission North to Yorkville.
There…I snagged my loot XD
They had lipglosses, pencil liners, and liquid liners. A lot of Seche Blanc on clearance.
I picked up the last Seche Restore (3.30), Liquid Liner in Lucky (4.99), and 3 Powder Eye Pencils (3.99 each).
I am loving the Liquid Liner in Lucky so far, but not too sure about the Powder pencils. So gotta do some more searching on the colours and the use. But seeing as they were only 3.99, I went a little nuts.
Apparently the rating aren’t stellar on MUA, and there are suggestions to use them wet. Not sure if I want that kind of annoyance (wetting at each use) in my daily routine.
So might go return them, unless anyone is interested in them.
