Quo 2019 Holiday Collection – Shoppers Drug Mart

Holiday collections have hit the stores and one I look forward to every year is Quo, only available at Shoppers Drug Mart. Quo 2019, is all about beautiful sets and they’re such great gift idea options! Here are some of the holiday sets you’ll see at a Shoppers Drug Mart near you:

I love this ‘Pucker Up Lip Gloss Set’ because you can gift it as is or you can open it up and use each one individually to create a smaller gift basket with other items! Or how about stocking stuffers? Price: $20.00 You can take one and add chocolate and some nice jewelry to make a cute yet practical gift.

These Quo 2019 cosmetic crackers are so pretty for decorating your dinner plates for the holidays or pretty much any event! Stock up on these at $15 for a set of 6. The glosses come in many colours and stay on power is great!

The above neutrals/nudes are a perfect choice for any of your fancy holiday attire. Don’t forget to pair it with a bold lip! These eye shadow duos also work as beautiful ornaments. Price: $6 You can hang these on your Christmas tree or around your gift of choice. The pigment is also perfection!

This Quo winter rescue kit is perfect for someone who needs an introduction to skincare and beauty! Or someone who loves to travel and seems to always lose their skincare while travelling. Price: $30 This set comes with a serum, lip balm and face gloss. This is a great deal!

I’ve said this many times before and I’ll say it again! The limited edition make-up brushes by Quo are amazing! I’ve never had a Quo brush from a set that I didn’t like. I would highly recommend getting a brush set by Quo if you’re either just starting off in the make-up brush realm or a professional.

If you’ve been watching my Instagram stories, you would’ve seen the first part of the below unboxing. Enjoy the Quo 2019 holiday collection and get it before it’s gone!

Quo Summer 2019 Limited-Edition Collection

Eid Gift Ideas – Quo Summer Collection 2019

Quo; a Shoppers Drug Mart brand, comes out with the most amazing seasonal collections! I am particularly excited about the Summer 2019 collection because it launches with a theme of my favourite summer colours and cute stars on the packaging. Stars, that tie in with the moon and stars theme for Eid. So you bet I’ll be gifting this collection to family members! It’s the perfect addition to a basket full of goodies.

“Eid al-Fitr also called the “Festival of Breaking the Fast”, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.

Quo Ombre Eye Shadow Palette – $18.00

This palette comes in two options: Cotton candy and popping peach. I have the popping peach and the pink tones are great for every day and can create a beautiful warm neutral look.

Quo Ombre Face Palette – $20.00

This palette comes in two options: Dancing lights and berry beam. I love the summery shades and the true ombre look that can be achieved. The bronzer is a perfect tone if you’re looking for a sun-kissed look.

Quo Face Brush – $14.00

I’ve said this before in my previous posts, the limited-edition make-up brushes with Quo are my favourite! They’re unique packaging and the hairs on the brushes are superb. I’ve never had a limited edition brush I didn’t like. The wide handle fits your fingertips perfectly and I love the wide brush at the top for contouring or applying bronzer.

Quo Transforming Lip Kit – $16.00

The stain in the lip duo set has amazing staying power. I swatched it on my wrist and when I went to remove it, I had to use a cleanser. So awesome for long parties where you’ll be eating and drinking. Staying power is necessary. The sheer iridescent lip gloss, pairs perfectly with the stain. Gives your lip a nice highlight!

Quo Glow Beauty Oil – $18.00

This lightweight oil works alone, under foundation or even use it as a natural highlight in focused areas. Tip: Add a drop into your foundation for a more uniform natural glow. I love that it’s lightweight, perfect for the summer when you don’t want to feel like you’re wearing a lot of make-up.

Pick this collection up before it’s all gone! The limited edition can only be found at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Quo – What’s New & Summer 2018 Collection at Shoppers Drug Mart

A new season means NEW make-up! For the Quo Summer launch, I get to check out all the great goodies Quo has that’s new and in their limited edition Summer 2018 collection. For those of you who have never heard of Quo. It is a house brand for Shoppers Drug Mart. I’ve used many of their products for years and have gotten to know what are their great products and which Quo I’m not a huge fan of. I’ve been using their Wet & Dry powder foundation for years. It’s honestly my favourite. I’ve actually tried replacing it with other brands and had no luck.

8 brushes for $60.00

I have also noticed that not all of their makeup brushes are good. I’ve actually tried every single one as a make-up artist and know exactly which ones fall apart quickly (brush hairs falling). The foundation and concealer brushes are great. However, the Powder and blush brushes are terrible. But if you ever see any limited edition makeup brush sets, make sure you snag those. Because they’re usually awesome and you still get the house brand price of course. You’ll be happy to know that the Quo Summer 2018 collection has some pretty cool makeup brushes (metallic design) and the makeup bag it comes with is so nice that you’ll want to use it every day.

Top 5 EyeShadow Palettes

Why do you love EyeShadow Palettes?

I love them because you have all the colours you need in one organized palette. That’s not always the case, but your go to palettes do have that quality. I have way too many, but I’ve rummaged through them all to pick my TOP 5! They’re in no particular order and I love them all equally. I apologize in advance that 2 out of the 5 you won’t be able to purchase but I had to include them in my TOP 5 or else I’d be lying. Without further ado, let’s get started!

NAKED2

This palette had been launched soon after NAKED1’s success. I personally love NAKED2 more than the first one. I travel with this one every opportunity I get! I feel confident that it won’t break in transit because of the tin case and it has all the colours I would need on a trip. I usually keep my make-up to a bare minimum on trips and use more contouring and highlighting colours from this palette. For an evening look I smoke it up with the matte black.

CARGO – Plant Love

I’ve had this palette for awhile but never opened it and used it. It was like finding treasure! This line of make-up by CARGO has:

No dyes
No Parabens
Not tested on animals

This palette is an all in one. I believe it was never made for retail and was only for the official CARGO make-up artists. During my time with CARGO when they were situated in Toronto I had the pleasure of taking this kit home. How many of you would love a kit like this? It has eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers and pressed powder!

Smashbox Full Exposure

This palette is beautifully divided into two different rows of eyeshadows. One for matte shades and the other for shimmer. What I love about this kit is that it comes with an “eye shape” guide to show you based on your eye shape how to apply the different shapes. You can also learn from this Smashbox video: here

Here’s the swatch of the essential neutrals that can be worn everyday and the shimmers to take you into the evening: (I promise to do better swatches in future reviews!)

QUO

 

QUO is a Shoppers Drug Mart exclusive brand. Some people usually steer away from drug mart brands but this is one you should definitely give a chance. It’s not in the luxury end of products but some of their products like this eyeshadow palette are a bit more expensive. You pay for the quality that you get! These eyeshadows have so much pigment that you won’t be using much to get its true colour. On a side note, I would be careful with these half spheres, because if you press too hard with your brush or finger the shadow will break. That is the only downfall of this palette.

CARGO – Catwalk

This is a palette that CARGO or another cosmetics company needs to jump on this idea. Palettes with themes are great for seasonal. We see them every season. Summer, winter etc colours all in one palette. What about themes like this for any time of the year?

This catwalk palette has quilted blushes and cute buttons for eye shadows. The magnetic book is perfect for storing and the shadows have rich pigments.
