What I Found @ Dollarama

Hey girls! Today's post is just a short one to show some great things that I have been seeing at my local Dollarama's. Lately I have been seeing some great brands at great prices, so I thought I would share with you!

Keep in mind that all Dollarama's get different products so you may or may not find these products at your stores. Happy shopping! :)

NOTD: Kozmic Colours Pastel Pink Shimmer

Today's nail of the day is one of the Kozmic Colours polishes which I showed as part of my January/February Haul. One thing that I don't like about these Dollarama polishes is that they don't come with names or even numbers, so it's hard to write a post about it and come up with my own name.

I picked up this pack of polishes because it included 4 pretty pastel colours that I thought would be perfect for Spring, and it was only $3. Three of the colours have a slight iridescent shimmer to them and then there is one cream finish shade. I am hoping to showcase all four of these polishes over the next few months.

This Pastel Pink Shimmer, is the perfect everyday shade. I think it would be good for school, a job interview, a wedding, etc. It would also look good as the base for a French Manicure. And the slight shimmer gives it a bit of depth that I feel cream finishes lack. Overall, I was really impressed with this polish and cant wait to try the other three.

It took three coats to be opaque and lasted about 5 days without chipping. I find that when I use a good base and top coat even Dollarama polishes last for almost a week.

Have you tried any Kozmic Colours polishes before?

You can slightly see the shimmer in this picture. Please ignore the cut on my finger lol

Dollarama Beauty Finds!

Hey girls I'm here today to show you some of the awesome beauty products I have been seeing at Dollarama over the last month. It seems that more and more name brand products are turning up at Dollarama for prices that cannot be beat.

Keep in mind that all Dollarama's receive different products, so yours may not have the same brands as mine.

In my last haul post I showed that I bought some Revlon and L'Oreal palettes and Kozmic Colours nail polishes. What have you been finding out your local Dollarama??

 

A battery operated nail dryer. I thought this compact fan was so cute, but because I use Seche Vite I didn't feel like I needed this.

So far every Dollarama in my city I've been too has an assortment of these Revlon Nail Strips.

I've now seen the complete line of Revlon's Shatter Nail Polishes at various stores. I'm wondering why such a new product has already found its way here.

Lots and lots of Wet n Wild and Kozmic Colours single polishes.

Wet n Wild Lipsticks. They only had this one colour though.

I've seen reviews of this product on a few beauty blogs I follow. A five pack was on sale for only $1! I didn't pick it up, but I'm thinking I should have.

Seeing this product kind of made me laugh. People have been joking and saying that Glossybox should be sponsored by Dollarama because of all the discontinued/older collection products they have been sending out. Maybe they have been sponsored by Dollarama all this time cause I found full size Wella hair products in a few of my city's stores!

I was surprised to see a Hard Candy product at Dollarama. Maybe all the products they are discontinuing this year will end up here. It would be cool to get some Hard Candy Boxed Powders at a discounted price.

NOTD: Revlon Cloud

I have to say Revlon is quickly becoming my favourite nail polish brand. I haven't found a colour I don't like, and the formula is pretty much perfect for me. I never need more than 2 coats for a perfectly opaque manicure and this polish lasts almost a week without chipping. This polish lasts so long in fact that I am taking it off because my nails have grown not because of chipping.

I bought Revlon's Cloud at Dollarama because a) it was only $2 and b) it is a shade I don't have anything like in my collection. I have a grey polish and purple polishes and blue polishes but, nothing that is all three in one. In some lights this polish looks like a perfect light grey colour, and in others it looks slightly grey-purple or grey-blue. It is a really interesting colour and one that I believe would be perfect for all year round.

It goes on opaque after two coats and I have no streaking or bubbling. I also received many compliments on this colour when I had it on. I want to thank Aleksandra for influencing me to finally wear this polish after she showcased it on her blog here.

Do you like Revlon's polishes? What is your favourite colour?

NOTD: Halloween Orange Foil

After a very long weekend at work I didn't have much time or energy for a nail art Halloween manicure. I originally wanted to paint ghosts or pumpkins on my nails but, lack of sleep and laziness got the best of me. As I was going through my nail polish collection I found the perfect polish for Halloween. It is Tivoli Cosmetics Orange Foil polish. I found this polish in a 4 pack at Dollarama for $2 and picked it up on a whim cause the hoarder in me cant say no to nail polish.

I can't find anything about this brand online and the bottles didn't have names, so I named this one myself. Since it is an orange foil I named it Orange Foil. I don't think I would ever get a job as a nail polish name with that sense of creativity lol.

This polish had a horrible smell, way worse then even the worse smelling nail polish you have ever used. But it was opaque in one coat and went on streak free. In the bottle this colour was beautiful but on the nails it is stunning. It reminded me of the aluminum wrapping on those chocolate balls you can buy for Halloween, with the pumpkin faces on them. I did two coats of polish with 1 coat of Seche Vite and I am so happy with the results. To me this screams Halloween, but I can see myself wearing this all throughout the year.

 I am loving foil, chrome, and liquid metal polishes for Fall and this is just another one for the collection. A great buy for only $0.50! Ive been wearing it for 3 days now and I have minimal tip wear and no chipping. Great quality for a dollar store polish.

NOTD: Kozmic Colours "Worlds End"

This is another one of those Dollorama $1 polishes that I got as part of my Fall Haul. The first two I have shown already Outta Line and Shufflin' had amazing colour payoff, longevity, and formula. Worlds End is no different. This medium toned blue cream polish goes on so easily, with absolutely no streaking. You really only need one coat for it to be fully opaque, but I always do at least two coats when I do my manicures. The glossiness of this polish was really good even without a topcoat. I decided to use Seche Vite Topcoat.

The wear time of this polish was a little less than the others ones I've tried. I had some tip wear by day two, but there wasn't any major chipping. This has been one of my favourite blue polishes I've worn in awhile. It is definitely in my Top 5 favourite blue polishes. If you can get your hands on this polish from Dollarama, don't hesitate just buy, you wont be disappointed.

 

 

NOTD: Outta Line

The second Kozmic Colours Nail Polish I tried from the Dollarama was Outta Line a deep raspberry creme. This polish is seriously amazing. It is already in my top 5 favourite polishes for Fall, and probably my top 10 favourite polishes ever! It goes on wonderfully and the colour looks beautiful.

I don't think that these pictures will do this polish justice. In the bottle it looks like, more of a fuscia colour. But on the nail after two medium coats it looks quite darker. I got so many compliments when I wore this polish and nobody could believe that I had bought it at the dollar store. Sally Hansen Complete Manicure has a shade just like this, which I also saw at the Dollarama.

NOTD: Shufflin'

In my Fall Haul I showed a picture of some Dollarama polishes I had picked up. They were $1 a piece so I picked up all 7, but I didn't have very high hopes for them; because they are an unknown dollar store brand. I've used a couple of the colours so far and I have to say I am extremely impressed! They go on smoothly and only require one or two coats. They have great colour payoff that matches how it looks in the bottle. I would recommend that if you see these in your Dollarama then pick some up you wont be disappointed.

The first one I tried was Shufflin' a light grass green with duo-chrome qualities. Sometimes this polish looks green and other times it looks yellow-ish. There was a tiny bit of streaking with this polish, however, after putting multiple coats on the nail and a top coat it no longer looked streaky. This polish was also a little sheer so it took three thin to medium coats to be opaque. It lasted over a week with out chipping. I did get some minor tip wear but that naturally happens when you type everyday at your job. Even though this is a summery colour I can see myself wearing this throughout Fall.
