Finally, Canadians will be able to shop Glossier in person on February 23 at Sephora Canada!
The beauty brand has created a cult-like following and for good reason.
It’s launched super popular and viral products like the Cloud Paint and the Boy Brow.
It first started out with just four products back in 2014, and now spans all beauty categories like skincare, makeup, body, fragrance, and even a selection of apparel!
When it comes to makeup and beauty products, shopping online can be a bit tricky, and up until this partnership with Sephora Canada, Canadians weren’t able to shop the brand in person as there are no storefronts in the country. Which makes this launch all the more exciting!
There’s high anticipation for this partnership as Sephora Executive Vice President and Global Chief Merchandising Officer Artemis Patrick said in an email to Retail Dive, “As one of the most searched brands on Sephora.com we know our customers are going to be beyond excited to find their Glossier must-have products online, the Sephora App, and in our stores, while unlocking all the perks of our Beauty Insider program has to offer.”
Glossier will be available on Sephora’s website, app, and in most locations in Canada on February 23 – allowing you to touch, feel, and explore the products before you buy!

Canadian shoppers get excited for some real nostalgia (again). Zellers is set to enter Canada next year.
Hudson’s Bay is playing a major role in reviving the brand once again, which is due to the fact that HBC still owns the rights to the name of the Zellers chain.
According to HBC, Zellers will be back sometime next year stating, “Arriving early 2023, the distinctly Canadian retailer Zellers will debut a new e-commerce site and leverage the nationwide network of prime brick-and-mortar Hudson’s Bay locations as it expands its footprint in major cities across the country.”
So not only will you be able to shop the beloved discount store in person, but it’ll also be available online for the first time ever!
For those who may not remember, Zellers launched a pop-up store last year in the Burlington Center Hudson’s Bay. The classic Zellers logo hung high and the area was decked out in the red and white colour combo.
HBC says that some of the categories that you can expect are home decor, furniture, small appliances, and toys, with apparel coming shortly after, all at great prices.
Although there isn’t any word on whether the iconic Zellers restaurant will return (which we’re really hoping it does), we’re still super excited to see the revival of this chain again in Canada. It’s really giving us all the feels!

Of course, that means we had to do some digging to find out how you can save some cash while shopping. Check out all of the tips to know before you make a purchase at Wayfair Canada.
Here are tips that every Wayfair Canada shopper should know.
Shop the Canadian Site
To ensure you receive the best Wayfair shopping experience, always make sure you’re shopping on the Canadian site (Wayfair.ca) and not the American.

The Power of Product Reviews
Wayfair has a community of loyal shoppers who are open and honest when it comes to providing product feedback. We found it highly beneficial to read through a product’s reviews before making a purchase online. Customer reviews will give you a great idea of whether the product you are about to purchase will live up to your expectations.
Know Your Return Policy
Just in case you’re not satisfied with your purchase, Wayfair offers a generous 30-day return policy. Note: Wayfair will either send you a shipping label and deduct the cost of shipping from your refund total or you’ll have to pay to ship back the item yourself. Keep this in mind, as the cost of shipping large and heavy furniture pieces will not be cheap!
Mark Down When Wayfair’s Biggest Sales Of The Year Are
Be sure to stay in the loop for major sales. Way Day is a huge annual sale where you can score up to 80 percent off of thousands of products. The date varies, so be sure to look it up each year. Other notable sales are Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Coupon Codes With Sale Items
Typically at most retailers, you aren’t able to combine coupon codes with items already on sale. At Wayfair, if you’re lucky enough to find a promo code, you can totally combine it with your discounted items to get even more savings!
Keep Full Priced Items In Your Cart For A Bit
If you’ve found an item that you love at full price, keep it in your ‘Saved For Later’ cart or ‘Favourites’ for a while. Usually, Wayfair will email you about purchasing items in your cart, and even offer a promo code. Although this doesn’t always happen, it’s definitely worth it to try out.

You’ve likely seen the platform sandals in shop windows, noticed the return of low-rise jeans, or maybe even purchased a pair of your dad’s favourite New Balances. The ‘90s are new again, so it’s only fitting that AriZona Hard – a ‘90s staple now with 5% alcohol, is bringing back some of our fave ‘90s trends this summer for the great buy of ¢99, inspired by the original Green Tea tall can.

Starting August 2 at 1:00 p.m. EST, Canadians can get their hands on a timeless accessory: a chunky, big-faced digital watch. Inspired by AriZona Hard’s Lemon Iced Tea flavour, this bold statement piece is primed to stand the test of time – and turn a few heads – so you can enjoy summer around the clock.
There’s no time like the present (or the ‘90s of course), so set your watches for the chance to snag one of these items – they will go fast, it’s first come, first served while quantities last!
