Damn! They Sell THAT at Dollarama?

By

So the buzz about town is there are some amazing deals to be had on BRAND NAME beauty products at Dollarama. I was quite the skeptic at first (especially since the price point would be too good to be true – $1!), so I didn’t bother to investigate. But last night, while shopping with Lotus and Rubes, I thought, “What better way to embarrass my friends than to march into Dollarama armed with a camera?” TOUR-IST!

So off we went. I have to admit, both gals were terrific sports, not only helping me sift through the product, but also posing with the evidence. And the buzz was absolutely bang on! I couldn’t believe how many brands had appeared on the shelf of a dollar store, selling decent lines for just $1 and $2! I grabbed some pics of my favourite beauty steals – all priced at $1 unless otherwise stated:

Pantene Brunette Expressions Sleekening Balm

Salon Selectives (!) Rise Up Volumnizing Mousse


Sunsilk Daring Volume Plumping Creme


St. Ives 24 Hour Moisture Cream


Dove Energy Glow (Self Tanner) and Pro Age (Facial Moisturizer)


The lovely Rubes posing with her steal – Dove ReEnergizing Night Lotion


Frankly, there were quite a few other name brands – everything from shampoo to nail polish remover to lip balm. Most of the items looked to be from either discontinued or sluggish-selling lines, but regardless, the product quality would still be there, and you may even stumble upon a long lost favourite! Now that I think about it, I was meaning to grab the Lypsyl balm – next time :)

Of course, my very favourite Dollarama deal would have to be the $1 pregnancy test…

Cause, you know, it’s not like the test has to be THAT accurate or anything, right? (Rolls eyes)

Stay tuned for more Damn! They Sell THAT at Dollarama?

    but no Salon Selectives mousse for curly hair…not fair. On that note, i did receive my order from well.ca. I must say it was very well packaged and i really appreciated the personal note and smiley face on the packing slip from "Steve"?!?!

    We saw those $1 pregnancy tests too, and had always meant to try them after we knew Cathy was pregnant. Dammit! I'll have to remember this for next time…
