Quo 2015 Holiday Collection- Drugstore Gift Ideas

With the holidays coming up, your wallets may be stretched with all the gift giving. But now you can look to Shoppers Drug Mart as a place to pick up reasonably priced gifts for the makeup lovers in your life! Quo is a house brand to Shoppers Drug Mart and they recently released 22 limited edition makeup sets for the holiday season. They range from $3-$75 which means you’ll find the perfect gift for your budget! I received a couple items from the Quo 2015 Holiday collection to share my thoughts on so keep reading!

This is my favorite set out of everything I received! This contains 8 lipglosses that range from a creamy nude to a dark shimmery berry. The lipglosses are surprisingly pigmented and are very comfortable to wear. I love how small these are so it’s handy to toss into the purse. There’s a great mix of shades and finishes in this set so you can either experiment or split the products with a friend.

I love the range of shades! Swatched starting from the top and going clockwise.

Contour kits are all the rage at Sephora but usually start at around $50! This budget friendly option comes with two brushes as well as a beautiful sturdy case and a full size mirror. The first shade looks very warm in the pan but works really well on the skin. The middle shade is a matte highlight which is not my favorite. The last shade would be great for someone fair skinned or looking for a very natural contour.

The angled brush is not as dense as I hoped it would be. But it did a pretty good job of creating a nice contour. Both brushes are soft and are small enough to toss in a makeup bag to go.

This eyeshadow kit contains four powder shadows, 2 cream shadows, and a black eyeliner. The powder shadows are not my type of shades but it would create a nice natural smokey eye. However, I love the two cream eye shadows and there’s great portability! The eyeshadows have decent pigmentation but would not create super dramatic looks.

Doing your brows for beginners can be daunting, so this set has everything you need for perfectly groomed brows! It comes with four stencils, a tweezer, a toolie, a brush, a wax, and two powders. I like the mix and match that’s available for the two powders so you can find your exact shade. The stencils are actually quite good! I actually used it to find my shape and pluck my brows.

My pick out of all these would definitely be the lip gloss set. The quality is amazing and there are so many color options at a great price. Even my Christmas squirrel loves it!
