I know it's a little late... it's more like post-weekend wishlist lol.  But I keep finding new things that I put on my wishlist.  So I thought I'd share with you currently on it.

Aqualillies for Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye And Cheek Palette



This has been raved about on the beauty blogosphere... I just have yet to see it in store. (maybe I just missed it?)  It comes with a blush, a bronzer, a highlighter, and 6 eyeshadows.  It's a perfect way to try out their product (or if you're like me, try more of their products lol).  They claim that it's waterproof, but we'll see about that!

Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm
I have never been a gloss girl, in fact, I ALWAYS pick lipsticks over lipgloss.  But I didn't mind the new Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm* (CA $8.95).  Coming in 10 gorgeous shades, this moisturizing lip care formula is hitting the drugstore in Canada in July 2013 (it's already available in the U.S.).

Benefit The Rich Is Back! Makeup Kit Cover Art
In celebration of Sephora's 15th Anniversity, Benefit Cosmetics teamed up with British Fashion Designer Matthew Williamson to create limited edition The Rich Is Back Makeup Kit* (CA $40 / US $34) that is exclusive to Sephora.  Being a master of colour and glamour, Matthew Williamson featured some of his "favourite iconic prints" with kaleidoscopic colours on the design of the palette.  I absolutely love the cover art, inside and out.  It is just so much fun and colourful.

Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Single Face Brushes
Who's a fan of Pixiwoo on YouTube?  (One hand up).  Who's a brushaholic?  (Both hands up).  So Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman brushes seem like must-tries for me.  Many people like to try their brush sets out, but I opted to try the single brushes out.  I have 5 single face brushes here to share with you.

First of all, let's talk about what they all have in common.  The make of the brushes are excellent.  The bristles are made with hand-cut synthetic taklon, which are 100% cruelty free.  They are quite soft, but not the softest that I have felt.  What I like the most about the bristles is that they don't shed.  The worst thing is when you have to pick hair out of your face when you're already in a hurry in the morning.  Each brush comes in an aluminum handle that covers about 2/3 of the whole handle, and the remaining 1/3 is plastic with flat bottom.  The flat bottom comes in handy because your brush can actually stand up on its own, so it's quite good for storage.

L'Oreal Caress Shine Stains, from L to R: Eternally Nude, Pink Rebellion,
Pink Resistance, Infinite Fuchsia, Lilac Ever After
Earlier this year, L'Oreal Paris has a launched a new line of glossy lip stains — L'Oreal Paris Caress Shine Stain (CA $12.99 / US $9.99), that is said to be a dupe for the luxurious YSL Glossy Stains I first got a sneak peek of this product at the L'Oreal Paris Holiday Party last year, and I immediately wanted all of them.  Dupability aside, let's talk about the product on its own.
