New at the Drugstore!
Hi everyone! I'm back with a bunch of new drugstore products and some mini reviews! I tried out all the products you see above and I'm super excited to share my thoughts. In the midst of trying them I came up with this cranberry-mauve look and I really like how it turned out. Without delay lets get into the mini reviews, shall we? :-)
*Maybelline Dream Cushion Fresh Face Liquid Foundation in 30 Warm Nude($16)- I really like this foundation! I completely agree with the
"fresh face" claim, it's luminous but not too much. I personally prefer matte foundations but now that Spring is coming along and the weather is warming up it tends to be too heavy for me. This is perfect because it's
lightweight but still provides
great coverage leaving your skin looking youthful! It does come with a sponge applicator which I
didn't end up liking, I felt like it made the foundation sit on my face and didn't blend it in. I use my Beauty Blender instead and it gets the job done beautifully.
*CoverGirl Outlast All Day Soft Touch Concealer in 830 light/medium($12)- This concealer is great for everyday but
not my favorite for a full face of makeup. CoverGirl claims that this concealer instantly erases your dark circles which I
disagree with. I end up having to layer this concealer because the coverage is pretty light. I don't mind lighter coverage for work or for running errands but for a full face of makeup I wouldn't reach for this one. I
really like the sponge applicator, it's perfect for such a sensitive area so kudos to that!
*CoverGirl Outlast Matte Finishing Powder in 830 light to medium($13)- This is a great powder! I really love it for
touch ups because it instantly makes my face matte and we all know I love a matte face
haha. The foundation doesn't need to be set but out of habit I did it anyway (
just my t-zone) and I loved it. I would
highly stay away from using it alone as CoverGirl suggest because it made my skin feel so dry! But over foundation and for touch ups it was
awesome.
*ULTA Matte Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette($20)- I purchased this palette on a great deal and it was totally worth it! The shadows are
buttery,
smooth and
beautiful colors. They are
powdery but they blend so well so I'm OK with that. After comparing it to another higher end all matte palette I found that they have very similar colors so stay tuned for a possible
dupe post very soon! ;-)
*Maybelline Color Sensational Inti-Matte Nudes Lipstick in Brown Blush($8)- Maybelline makes
my favorite drugstore lipsticks and this new collection is...so good! The collection is the same formula as their
creamy mattes, just warmer nudes that are made for different skintones. The lipstick is super comfy, pigmented and smooth and on top of that it's a
mauve-brown... need I say anymore?! Definitely check out this collection if your a fan of Maybelline lipsticks!
Alright, that's all I have for you today! I hope these mini reviews were helpful and stay tuned for some more posts in the near future! :-)
