Catrice has made quite an impression on me since launching at Shoppers Drug Marts in Canada. Today I am going to talk about two products, HD Liquid Coverage Foundation and Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer. 
Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation
Hi-Def Coverage! Catrice's HD Liquid Coverage Foundation is an ultra-lightweight, high coverage foundation for a natural looking finish. • Vegan • Paraben free • 24 hr-wear • Cruelty free • Second skin effect -shoppersdrugmart.ca
Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation comes in 23 shades, it is high coverage with a natural finish. The formula is supposed to mattify the skin while lasting 24 hours all while having a lightweight formal and a natural skin finish. Let's take a look at how it worked for me.

The bottle has a nice frosted look to it and an eyedropper for application. It looks pretty darn high end for drug store and its $13.99 price tag.

The formula is relatively thin for a full coverage formula but dries quickly because of its long-lasting and mattifying qualities. Because of this I really like using a wet sponge to apply it (currently loving the Real Techniques sponges for it). I also like to work section by section in my face so that it doesn't dry up before I have a chance to smooth it out. I personally have dry skin so using a hydrating primer under makes it go on a lot smoother and better too. If I apply it on its own I find I get some flakiness around my nose.
The coverage is actually pretty light but buildable. I like to give a once over and then a second go for a fuller look.

As for the wear, I found it wore pretty darn long and into my day with powder and setting spray. I did find with my dry skin that powder wasn't as necessary and didn't actually make the foundation look great on me. It made it just a little too dry.

I have been using shade 05 Ivory Beige. Which to be 100% honest is my perfect shade. I could not ask for a better match for me. If you want to see some fairer shade comparisons head on over to CrystalCandy Makeup for some swatches.
Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer
Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer is high coverage and long-lasting concealer for an improved skin. -shoppersdrugmart.ca
A little while back I reviewed some new (to me) Catrice products, one of which was Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer in 010 Porcelain, I was also sent with this foundation another shade to review 007 Natural Rose. 
I personally really like the formula of these concealers. They are full coverage like the name implies, but also creamy and smooth. I have used them many times as the only product on my face and been quite happy. They blend out super easy and look great all day long without any creasing. It performs exceptionally well, especially since it is only $7.99 Cad.

010 Porcelain is a shade that almost has a beige quality to it, which at first I was thrown by, but love how it cancels out any red in my face. It is such a great shade for me to use for just about anything going on.

070 Natural Rose on the other hand runs peachy. This has become my go-to for undereye circles.

This concealer is good enough to use as your only complexion product but also can take a product that you don't want to use too much of up a level (like a sheer foundation).

I have been using it with the HD foundation on my blemishes and under eyes as well as around my nose.
How I really like to use these products together is by applying a hydrating primer, sponging on the foundation, applying concealer and setting with a spray. If you have actually normal or oily skin I would definitely recommend some powder.

Here are some photos of me wearing it mid-summer. 
You can see I get a real natural look using the products but still the coverage I need. 
Overall I am loving these products. The concealers are now my go-to product. They have the coverage I need while being fantastic for smoothing out and not looking thick. They look like my skin and I love that.

The foundation is great and a perfect option for when my skin is feeling a bit more oily then usual or I want a long-wearing option. It looks natural on my skin but can look a bit dry if I don't hydrate properly before applying or powder (once again, I have dry skin though).

If you are looking for some great drug store options I highly recommend picking these up at your local Shoppers Drug Mart or online.

Have you tried Catrice Cosmetics yet? What are your thoughts?

Another 10 I'm Tossing Post.
Wella Shimmer Delight - Shine Spray: I got this so long ago in a Glossy Box. I liked it quite a bit. Would I buy it again? No, I am using the silicone free shine spray from Pantene right now, it cost about $2 and is just as good.
Bath and Body Works Creamy Body WAsh in Butterfly Flower: I got this so long ago, back when the outlet first opened and Butterfly Flower was first discontinued. I really love the scent. I also really love butterflies (or papillons). The creamy formula is much nicer in the colder months than the regular clear body wash by them  Would I buy it again? Yes, but sadly the scent is no longer around and as for the creamy body wash, I never see it in the stores. Too bad.
Delon Green Apple Body Wash: I got this to refill my Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System. I find the Lysol refills a rip off and just wasteful. Instead I usually buy econo refill hand soaps and top it off, but I was in a rush and went to my dollarma. All their hand soaps were made in China, but Delon products are made in Canada, so I opted for this body wash. I like the apple smell and it worked well. I got about 4 refills out of it.Would I buy it again?  Yes, I think for the $2 it worked well. I sometimes added a bit of dish soap to it, since it was just body wash and I felt it needed a bit  more cleaning ability.
Mark. Mist Opportunity: I've had this forever. I like it as a setting spray. Would I buy it again?No, it is discontinued, but I am also glad I've moved on to better things.
Almay Longwear and Waterproof Gentle Eyemakeup Remover:  I finally used this baby up. I really like how well it works to take all my eye makeup off without pulling or tugging. Would I buy it again?  Yes! I love this stuff!
Avon Ultra Color Rich White Gold Lipstick in Red Karat: Way back when I sold Avon, my coworker wanted this colour, she didn't like it so I ended up with it. It is a bright red with white gold flecks. It never really worked on me. Would I buy it again?  They don't make it anymore, but no.
Mark. Earth Perfume: Once again, back when I sold avon/mark I ordered this. While I liked it an used about 60% of it up I just don't wear it any more. It really smells like cucumbers. Would I buy it again?  They don't make it any more, but no.
Estee Lauder Cheek and Lip Palette:   This one is an oldie. I really don't know how long this has been hanging around in the back of my drawer. I believe I got this about 9 years ago. I used to use the blushes a lot. Would I buy it again?    I think every shade is discontinued. I do like the quality of the Estee Lauder blushes and would consider buying them again.
Cargo Lip gloss in Ecuador: This gloss is old! Oh my I should have tossed it a long long time ago. I got it as a gwp when I got a bunch of Cargo back in 2010. While I love the shade, it is time to say goodbye. Would I buy it again?  They don't make it anymore, but actually I would love to buy it again
Makeup Forever HD Loose Setting Powder: I finally used something up that is makeup! I used this mini HD powder up. I like it for under eye setting and light dusting. A little goes a long long way so it took a while to get though a jar even if it was little. Would I buy it again?  YES, I have another one that is the same size that I am currently working on


There you go 10 more items that are out the door.

 Another month, another big batch of empties. Woo, I'm feeling good about his purge.
Let is see what is in my outgoing empties mail bin.
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips custom Eye Enhancing Mascara Duo in Green Eyes (black side): So I've had this forever, but I use disposable wands with the green side, which is why I got it in the first place. I was sick of having the black hang around when I never used it. So I FINALLY (been trying forever) popped it off, leaving me with the green side. Would I buy it again? Yes, I like these mascaras and they have such strong coloured sides, the black is great too, I just couldn't justify having that part around any longer.
Marcelle BB Cream in light: I love this product and used every drop of it up. Would I buy it again? YES! I've got the SPF version on the go right now.
Bourjois Volumizer Mascara: This is a double wand mascara. Would I buy it again? No I like the rimmel version better.
ELF Studio Mist & Set: A finishing spray from elf Would I buy it again?  No, I like the bottle, sprayer and the product better in the ELF Mineral line better.
Mary Kay Satin Hands Smoothie Hand Scrub in Peach:  I love this stuff, it lasts forever. Would I buy it again? Yes! I have big pump of it in my washroom right now.
 Joe Fresh Nail Polish Remover in Regular: I got this for the pump Would I buy it again?  No,  I need full acetone, I cannot bother with anything less.
The Body Shop Natrulift Serum: I love this stuff so much it isn't even funny  Would I buy it again? Yes, but I bought the VIT C version and I need to use it up (BTW I am hating the smell of the Vit C line).
ELF Studio Lotioin Wipes in Vanilla and Coconut:  I love these in the summer for fast moisture Would I buy it again? Maybe, they dried out really fast.

So that is what fit into my mail box, but wait there is more in a bin.
So these are three perfumes I just never ever wore and am choosing to toss or give to someone, or ditch in the buildings laundry room (it is where you put crap for people to take, ex. VHS tapes, old books, CDs). 
Avon Ungaro, Avon Make Me Smile abd Nina Ricci  L'air.
John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Conditioner: oh my lordy, another one of these.  Would I buy it again? NO!!!! How many of these did I buy when they were at dollarama? What's that? I'm on the last one, it is almost gone. WOOO!
Nexxus Conditioner: I got this in a GlossyBox Would I buy it again? maybe, I did like it a lot.
Makeup Forever HD Elixir: I love this stuff Would I buy it again? Already onto a new bottle.
Constant Beauty Foaming Face Wash I never really liked self foaming washes  Would I buy it again? No.
EOS Lip Balm in Honeysuckle: I hate this stuff,over rated and waxy.  Would I buy it again? No.
M. Asad Magic Fini: I got this in a glymm box and I got two somehow. Would I buy it again? Maybe, I do like it.
ELF Studio Complexion Perfecter Powder:  I actually really like this powder, I hit the pan and only a bit remains Would I buy it again? YEs, I have another one and one in warm that I plan on opening up.
