Small Drugstore Haul

18 Sep

Just some mascaras and a few others things I’ve picked up recently!~

IMG_8212

Clockwise from left: Cover Girl Lash Blast Waterproof Mascara in very black, Rimmel Glam Eyes Lash Flirt Mascara in kohl black, N.Y.C. Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder in rose glow, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in blue me away, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in emerald city.

Initial thoughts: Well, I really hate the waterproof Last Blast Mascara, which is why I bought another one so soon after.  The Lash Blast holds curl amazingly well but leaves my lashes so incredibly stiff and dry.  (The regular Last Blast is still lovely though).  The Rimmel mascara is alright, but I’m going to have to use this a little longer before I have a more well-formed opinion. I’ll be doing in-depth reviews on both mascaras really soon.  I love the NYC Color Wheel, it’s the perfect natural-looking cheek color for me!  And the Xtreme Wear nail polishes have always been a favorite of mine, of these new colors I’ve only tried “blue me away”  (amazing color), but I’m sure “emerald city” is gorgeous too.

Elf Mineral Lipsticks Haul

15 Sep

When Elf had a 75% off mineral lip products sale, I went a little lipstick crazy. For those interested, the coupon code was “GETLIP” but I’m not sure if it still works. I bought nearly all of the shades and I’m really glad I did. These lipsticks feel more like a balm and go on sheer but they are quite buildable.  There’s a wide range of shades to choose from and they’re only $5 each so why not try them all!

My favorite shades are Royal Red, Barely Bitten, and Nicely Nude.

Also, while the lighting in these photos is quite dim, they are actually pretty true to color.

From left: Fiery Fuchsia, Bare Brown, Barely Bitten, Pouty Petal, Cool Coral, Cheerful Cherry.

From Left: Party Pink, Rustic Brick, Rosy Raisin, Nicely Nude, Royal Red, Prime Plum.

My Sleek Palette is Here!!

My Sleek Palette is here all the way from the UK!~ The sleekmakeup.com website isn’t up and running yet, so these palettes are pretty hard to come by unless you live in the United Kingdom.  I had to order mine from www.ebay.co.uk. But, nevertheless, it’s here now!~ And it’s gorgeous!!

Check out the swatches below:

All swatches were made without a primer or base so you can see this product has amazing pigmentation.  All of the shadows are really smooth as well. I can’t wait to play around with these more!~
