Review: Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara

I went to the drugstore last week with my sister and saw a display with the new Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara. I have never been fond of Maybelline mascara, but wanted to give this new mascara a try. First of all, I really like the packaging of this mascara, perfect for spring and summer! The wand on this mascara is huge! I find it is easy to apply this to the upper lashes but more difficult to apply to the lower lashes because it is so large. It also gets a little clumpy on the lower lashes for some weird reason, but I do enjoy the formula. It not too dry or wet. Overall, its a pretty decent drugstore mascara. It is a little expensive, running about $8.50 at my local CVS, but that is easy to get around with coupons, sales, discounts, etc. 

I would recommend this mascara to anybody who enjoys Maybelline mascara.

My fiance decided to take a few beauty shots of me applying the mascara, so here's a little treat :)

Review: Maybelline Baby Lips Dr.Rescue in Too Cool

For under $5 dollars, I picked up this new Maybelline Baby Lips Dr.Rescue at my local Rite Aid. The Baby Lips Dr.Rescue line provides a smoothing, cooling sensation because it has menthol as an ingredient.  It is supposed to provide 12 hours of hydration but I find myself applying this every few hours. I feel like this lip balm does an excellent job at moisturizing my lips. I am not a huge fan of the menthol scent, but if you like the scent of cough drops, then you will love the scent of this product. Overall, I definitely recommend this line of baby lips if you have dry and/or chapped lips in the fall and winter seasons! You can find these at your local drugstore!

September 2013 Favorites!

I know I am doing this post a little late but better late than never, right? I decided to do my September favorites in a blog post rather than a video because I have been sick the past week and posts have been so much easier to write up!

Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer

This has been my go-to face moisturizer for the past few months! It does a nice job at moisturizing your skin and it also helps fight your acne! This leaves your skin feeling smooth and calm.

Sigma Beauty Eyeshadows in Resist and Escape

These eyeshadows were sent to me by Sigma when I won the July Affiliate Challenge. They have very nice pigmentation and are easy to work with. My only negative is that they do have some fall out if they are worn for over an right hour period.

Covergirl Trio in Shimmering Sands

I don't think I have to say much about this palette except that it is a must have for everyone's beauty collection. It it so easy to work with and makes the prettiest neutral eye look. Each color can be worn on their own or combined with other shades.

Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Onyx

This eyeliner glides on the water line so smoothly and has pretty good lasting power on me

Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

I love this mascara! It is my new favorite from the drugstore. It does a great job at giving your lashes volume and length. I wear it everyday and highly recommend!

MAC Mineral Skinfinish Natural

I have gone back to using this powder again as it givers more coverage than my Rimmel Stay Matte

Other Favorites: My new handbag and my new coffee table!

What were your September Favorites?

Spring Drugstore Haul

Wow, long time no post! I have been so busy these last few weeks, I haven't had time to sit down and write up a post. I managed to time a small window today to write a post up about a little shopping I did today! I am also going to NYC IMATS tomorrow, April 7th!

So, this is what I bought at Target and Walmart!

1) Rimmel BB Cream - I have heard really great things about this BB Crea, so I decided to buy it. 

2) New Rimmel 60 Second Nail Polishes - I bought four of these lovelies because they only cost  $1.50 at Walmart! I am very curious to see if they are worth it or not. They have a great color selection and for the price, you can't beat it!

3) Maybelline Baby Lips - I already own the baby lips in Quenched and I am loving it! I saw this one and though, why not? They do a great job at moisturizing your lips and they also have SPF 20!

Have you gone shopping lately??

Review/Swatches: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige

Long time no post! I am super busy with my new job that I barely have any time to write posts and make videos right now! I went to the drugstore this weekend to try and find some of the new fall makeup products that have been launched recently and picked up only one item. I bought the new Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige. It is a gorgeous neutral color, with a hint of shimmer, that I can see selling out very quickly.







I really love this color! I can see myself wearing to work on a daily basis. It is almost exactly the color of my skin but I think it works very well on it's own or as a base.

I wore this to work and it didn't budge for 8 hours with a primer.

Maybelline Color Tattoos retail for $4-$7 dollars at the drugstore.

The color tattoos are compared to the Mac Paint Pots.

Have you picked up any new makeup lately?
