\n

This year marks the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of Shoppers Drug Mart<\/a>. Since 1962, Canadians have been walking down the road to their local Shoppers to pick up medicine, beauty products, magazines and groceries.<\/p>\n

The first Shoppers Drug Mart was opened by a Toronto pharmacist, Murray Koffler. His store launched Life Brand products, a private brand that has grown to include over 2,000 products today. Koffler started Life Brand to offer his customers a private-label brand that still carried high quality products. Now, customers can buy everything from toothpaste to tissues. <\/p>\n

The Canadian drugstore chain is celebrating 50 years by offering customers special deals. For beauty geeks, there will be a National Makeover Weekend on September 8 and 9 to kick off the celebration. And the BeautyBOUTIQUE<\/a>‘s home beauty brand, Quo<\/a>, is coming out with a special 50th<\/sup> Anniversary collection.<\/p>\n

\"Quo\"<\/p>\n

The collection includes a palette ($30) that features 14 eye shadows in core shades, and one blush colour, displayed in the shape of the number 50. The brush set ($50) has 10 of Quo’s most popular brushes that will suit all your beauty needs. The faux marble handles are also a luxe touch. Last year, Quo launched a collaboration with Orly, and in celebration of the 50th<\/sup> anniversary, a collection of five sparkly and glittery nail shades were created. Quo by Orly Glitter FX are Perfect for a night out, or for creating a sparkly accent nail. The makeup and brush sets will be out on September 8, while the nail polish will be released on September 15.<\/p>\n
