Glow on the Go: Behind the Decks at the Shoppers × SKIP “Grab N’ Glow” Pop-Up

The last weekend of September (Sept 26–28), I had the chance to DJ the Shoppers Drug Mart × SKIP The Dishes “Grab N’ Glow” Pop-Up at STACKT Market, Toronto. It was a three-day celebration of beauty, convenience, and culture — all brought to life with music, free experiences, and plenty of surprises.

The pop-up marked the launch of Shoppers Drug Mart on SKIP The Dishes, meaning Canadians can now order beauty, wellness, and everyday essentials straight to their doorstep.

The “Grab N’ Glow” activation at STACKT Market featured:

  • Free makeup touch-ups (lips, cheeks, eyes)

  • Customized cosmetic bags with monogramming + beauty samples

  • Exclusive vouchers & giveaways

  • A Glambot + photo-worthy setups

  • And of course… a live soundtrack from yours truly 🎧

As the DJ, my role was to set the energy, guide the flow, and keep people engaged as they moved between activations.

  • I built sets that matched foot traffic — higher energy during peak crowd surges, softer transitions during beauty touch-ups.

  • Music became a brand voice, blending accessible, fun tracks with a “glow-up” vibe.

It was such a privilege to soundtrack this activation and be part of the Shoppers × SKIP story. The energy was high, the crowd was glowing, and it’s always amazing to see how music can tie an entire brand experience together.

Until next time, Toronto,
Lissa
