Review: Target Cyber Monday Beauty Box 2014!

What Did I Get?

*Drum Roll Please!!* Today I'll be showing you what I got in my Target Cyber Monday Beauty Box! :-) I had no idea that Target offered such a thing but when I saw it I knew I had to have it! There were three boxes to choose from and I ordered the beauty box which was only $10 + free shipping!

It came packaged so nice and purrrty! I adore the attention to detail. My box came with 8 products and a few coupons. Here's an overview:

There's a nice variety of products, most of them are full size which is awesome! The value of the box exceeds $10 easily which makes this completely worth it! Let's get into more detail:

*Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen- I initially thought this was just a typical black liner BUT it claims to deliver a liquid liner effect which is very intriguing...can't wait to try it!

*Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquer in Tourmaline- so when these released I wasn't to into them and honestly wasn't planning on picking any of them up. I'm not the biggest fan of things with loads of shimmer and it also has a brush applicator. But for it being an $8 product I think it's awesome that it was included and who knows, maybe once I try it I will fall in love haha.

*Hair Food Thickening Solution- I was most excited about this! It's a yummy smelling hair mask made with natural ingredients which is so cool. I've never tried a hair mask so this is top on my list to try. Mine is infused with honey and apricot... need I say more? Plus the size is so generous!

*L'Oreal Butterfly Intenza Mascara- I already own this mascara and it's pretty darn good! I'm happy to have a back up once I run out so this was a cool bonus for me.

*CoverGirl Eye Enhancers Kit in Smokey Nudes- I was blown away by the colors in this quad, gorgeous! I'm not the biggest fan of CoverGirl shadows but these seems to be repackaged which could also mean they have been reformulated so maybe they'll work out. I'll test it out and follow up later on.

*ChapStick Total Hydration Lip Care in Sweet Peach- perfect timing for a lip balm, thanks Target! Now that its getting colder you can never have enough lip balm. I'm excited to give it a try since it's a newer product!

*Laneige Water Sleeping Mask-  I've heard so many good things about this brand from one of my favorite Youtubers "Young Wild and Polished" so this put a smile on face immediately! It's an overnight mask which sounds so interesting and now that my skin is drier I will get some use out of this!

*Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum- I haven't been into serums but I should probably start since I'm not getting any younger haha. This one is meant to smooth, hydrate and boost your skins radiance which sounds good to me!

So this is all I received for only $10...amazing right?! I'm so happy I came across this cyber monday deal. Hopefully if they offer it next year you can take advantage of this offer because it's completely worth it! :-)

Review: NEW Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Mattes Lipsticks!

Creamiest Matte Lipsticks!

Maybelline has my favorite lipstick formula from the drugstore! When I heard about the release of this Matte line I was really excited. Matte lips in the fall is a great trend but matte formulas can be tricky to perfect. I wanted to give these a shot and I must report that I really like them! There's 10 shades in the line and I ended up with five. I highly suggest to pick them up at Target or Walmart because they have the best prices, just $5.50 each!

This is the packaging they come in, cute matte purple! They have the same scent as the rest of the Color Sensational line which I don't mind. The shade range in the line covers all the basics from nudes to pinks to corals and berries, I was very impressed by that! The formula is so different from any other matte lipstick; it's irresistibly creamy but that can be a good thing and a bad thing. They glide on so smoothly on the lips but they don't set fully like other matte lipsticks. They are ridiculously comfortable to wear which is my major plus! They don't have any drying factor whatsoever but since they stay so creamy they tend to transfer easily. So make sure the check your teeth throughout the day because chances are lipstick will be there haha. Here are some swatches:

The colors are stunning! They are very flattering and that first one is on trend with that 90's lip that's going around! :-) Here are the lip swatches:

*Touch of Spice- a pink-brown, one of my favorite colors from the bunch! Perfect nude for the fall and very on trend!

*Lust For Blush-  a mauve-pink, great everyday color and very wearable.

*Ravishing Rose- a more blue toned pink, it's not super bright which makes it a bit more wearable but not the most flattering on me.

*Mesmerizing Magenta- a creamy magenta- pink, very beautiful! This one has some dimension to it compared to the rest, very unique!

*Divine Wine- a deep burgundy, the ideal fall shade! This one makes your teeth look pearly white, love it!

Bottom line: This matte line is pretty good! I love that they don't dry out your lips at all. The color remains on your lips for a good 2-3 hours but not as intense compared to when you first apply. Maintenance is key to keep the color looking great throughout the day. I don't mind reapplying but if that is tedious for you than you might not like these. They do get the award for being the creamiest matte lipsticks I've tried so far! :-)
