QUO - Shoppers Drug Mart items that remind me of Flashtronic from Mac

Hey for all your Shopper Drug Mart addicts. Have you seen the new stuff that came out under the QUO line? They look like the MAC MSF, they have a nice blush one and a nice bronzer. They also have three eye shadows. One lovely purple and two other colors I think it was brownish green and one that reminds me kinda of quarry. Have any of you guys purchased any of these yet? They looked awesome and I'm really considering on getting them but wasn't sure how well they worked.

so I just found this thread and I love it so far.

Anyway, I bought two of the products today and they are really really nice, I never had the MAC products so I cannot compare but I would seriously look into them. Plus they are on sale.

I checked them out and they do look nice. 'm going to try one, I think. Quo products are usually pretty good quality.

I bought the Sand Dune baked bronzer, it has pink undertones so it also makes a really good blush, and I am very pale and it looks good.

I bought the fire eyeshadow, it's kind of a brownish pink.

I also bought the true skin foundation, it is smooth and looks good, the only thing is it is very sheer so if you have complicated skin I would not buy it.

i went to Shoppers yesterday to check this out. here's a rundown of the new Quo summer collection:

-3 test tube lip glosses @ $8.50 each
-3 "baked eyeshadows" @ $10 each
-3 "baked bronzers" @ $15 each
-some sorta foundation

the bronzers really caught my eye! they contain a lot of product and are very pigmented. there's one peachy-pinky one called Sand Dune and one bronzey-orangey one called Sandstone. i don't have any MSF to compare them to but i think they're up to par! i bought Sandstone because it's sooo beautiful. i loved it applied to my cheekbones yesterday!! i also swiped the eyeshadows but they were just kinda meh to me. they come in Earth-greenish, Wind-purplish and Fire-brownish. the lip glosses were also cute, they are lemonade themed/flavoured and come in shimmery white, yellow and pink. i didn't bother looking at the foundation.

did you guys know that Shoppers carries the european cosmetics line Gosh now? i sure didn't! i picked up a lipstick called Darling hoping for a MAC Hue dupe. i also bought a Quo fan brush for my new bronzer, it was only $10.99 on sale! BTW my catalog says these prices are effective from May 17 - June 13 but the sale was already on yesterday so idk... HTH

awesome..i wasn't too sure what the fan brush was for..maybe i should try using it for a bronzer too..do you use it for anything else? If the brushes are on sale, I am definately going to pick up a contouring brush as well.
