    Okay..so the other day I wandered into Shoppers Drug Mart to find a new foundation and the gal from the 'better' cosmetic's department met me and long story short....I bought a new foundation, mascara and 'highlighter'.

    And yes, they were expensive, but if you ever want to treat yourself to something lovely, or put them on your Christmas wish-list, I don't think these would disappoint you.

    Dior "Forever" foundation...what can I say? I have 'aged' skin...getting a little drab looking, not many wrinkles, but I'm beginning to notice a few large pores, and when I put this on, I look flawless! I've actually caught myself in a mirror and said...oh! that looks goooood! She matched my colour perfectly and really...all you need is two 'squirts' of it to cover your whole face, so I imagine this will last a long time. It's not shiny, you don't feel like you're wearing a mask...and it's not irritating my sensitive skin.

    Dior "Diorshow" mascara: The other day we went to our daughter and hubby's place and she looked at me and said..."Are you wearing false eyelashes?!"....nope, I said...it's just my new mascara....to which she replied..." Omg...I want one!". So it'll be in her Christmas stocking. I have to cut back a little on using it, because it makes my lashes so full and long that they bang up against my glasses! lol!

    Dior "Skinflash": So every so often I see someone in the stores who's my age, and yet looks so ... refreshed! Awake! Well...this is probably the product she's using. It's a skinny little tube with a brush on the tip..you rotate the bottom to 'load' the brush, and pat it under your eyes, in the corners of your eyes near your nose...under and over your eyebrows, and wow! Instant lift! I wear glasses, so my eyes tend to get lost in them, and this just pops my eyes! Even without glasses, this is a gem!

    The best part, is that, except for the mascara, you can try these products before you purchase them and see for yourself how they can transform you!

    I'm SO glad I found these, even if they are a little on the expensive side, and I won't let go of any of them, ever!

    Hope you get to enjoy them, too!

    I love my MAC cosmetics, sure my clothes come from Wal-mart but I'll be damned if my face does *lol* The Dior sounds really nice too. MAC usually offers free shipping on their site and they always offer to put my "face" on for me when I go to The Bay. They let me try new colours, types, even mascara.(They use disposable wands for the mascara) My must haves are the ZOOMLASH and the lip glass. Amazing! (And if you buy it from the Bay you get HBC points)

    Sounds like a nice brand, too, Julie. I'm nowhere near a Bay, and I'm not certain Sears carries that line...no Sephora here, either....sigh...
    Geez....and all I thought we were missing was an Ikea!! Sephora must come here!! hah!

    Dior isn't cheap. Lip glosses start at around $24 a tube but the colours and texture are fantastic. Foundations are in the $50-70 range.

    I've always rationalized my purchase by the old "I know I'll use it because I like it". How many times have you bought a $4.99 lippie and found out it wasn't the right shade or you didn't like the way it smells? Through away two Revlon glosses that you think "might work" and you could have bought the Dior one you loved and tested.

    I got a bunch of lipglosses through the elle grand prix recently, they are high end brands and they are fabulous, better than anything I have bought in the drugstore. Yes, there are good products in the drugstore. But as you get older, you realize that it's better to buy LESS stuff but BETTER quality.
