Mini Haul!

So sorry I haven't been blogging lately. Just haven't had anything to blog about. When the weather gets hot I find myself not going online much. But have no fear I'm here to bring you a mini haul. 

Picked up three things from Rite Aid a few days ago. 

1. N.Y.C. High Definition Liquid Eyeliner

2. Oral-B Complete Toothbrush

3. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze

Ran out of my fave liquid eyeliner (L'oreal Lineur Intense) so thought I give the N.Y.C. one a try. It's a Felt Tip, so can't wait to use that! ($3.99)

Needed a new toothbrush (simple as that!...lol) I actually love the Oral-B line!

I was dying to give this Maybelline Color Tattoo a try for the longest! I seen this in so many blogs and I was jelly! lol (Wearing it today and I'm already loving it!) Most likely this will be my go-to cream shadow for this summer!

Well that's all for now! Look out for some more post coming soon!

Mini Nail Polish Haul!

Wanted to share with you all my mini nail polish haul. As I was looking for some new nail polishes for summer, I decided to choose these. Actually my goal was to get new top coat, which I couldn't find. But I did find a Matte Top Coat, which I can't wait to try out!

Here's what I bought!

Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Colors in Club Havana (211B) & Heatwave (212C). NYC Matte Me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat. All three cost me $1.99 each. Which isn't bad, right? Hoping there's great color pay off! I already have other color from WnW, Wet n Wild Megalast in I Need a Refresh-Mint. Which is my favorite green minty color by far! 

I think these two will be the perfect colors for summer. I will be having swatches of these nail colors soon!

Have a great weekend!

Revlon ColorBrust Lip Butters

Yes, the title is correct. Once again another post on Revlon ColorBrust Lip Butters! I just couldn't stop myself from buying some more.

If you didn't read my last post on these babies then (click here) to view lip swatches.

The shades I picked up were Cupcake and Pink Truffle.

I've been eying these shades when I purchase the other 4 lip butters, but I had to limit myself to only 4. So I waited again for them to go on sale and they did. I'm glad I picked up these two!

Cupcake

 Cupcake is a light gorgeous baby pink.  Goes on a little sheer, which is great for me cause I can control how much color I want on my lips. The lasting power on Cupcake isn't so great. So be prepare to reapply as needed. I'm loving the shine on these lip butters. The only thing I don't like is how it settles on the lines on my lips. But over all it's a beautiful color!

Pink Truffle

Pink Truffle looks reddish brown in the tube but once applied on my lips it's more of a mauve-y pink color. It has a nice shine and very pigmented. This color holds up well for me and it's one of my favorite colors. I tend to grab this color more then the others out of the bunch!

The packaging of these Lip Butters are quite cute. I'm digging the quilted cap that's translucent. Each cap is set to match the color of the Lip Butters, and also the tops are clear so it easier to see the color of the Lip Butters inside.

Over all they have great pigmentation and lots of colors to choose from. I'm pretty much guessing I'll be purchasing more colors soon! 

What do you think of these Revlon ColorBrust Lip Butters?

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters

Finally got my hands on these butterlicous babies! I've been looking high and low for these lip butters. I was jumping up for joy when I seen the display for them at my local Rite Aid. Picked up two shades, since they were buy one get one 50% off. Then I stopped by another Rite Aid that same day and got two more. 

The colors I picked out are...

Sweet Tart 090

Tutti Frutti 015

Strawberry Shortcake 080

Peach Parfait 025

Now on to the lip swatches...

  Strawberry Shortcake

Tutti Frutti

Sweet Tart

Peach Parfait

These lip butters are super creamy and glide on very smooth, and the pigmentation is amazing!

Packaging
The packaging is really cute. I love how they matched the covers with the actually lip butter shades. It's easier for me to grab the color that I want.

Pros
Super Hydrating
Lasting Power
Pigmented

Cons
Some are sheerer than others
Careful when applying, some are softer then most

Over All
I love these! There super hydrating and I would recommend them to anyone who likes sheer to high pigmented lip sticks.

Maybelline Color Tattoo ~ Tough as Taupe

So I decided to cave in and buy at least one of the Maybelline Color Tattoos. I've heard a lot of raze on these cream eyeshadows. How they were compared to the M.A.C Paint Pots or Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams. I don't own any of the higher ends brands, so pretty excited to give this a try!

There were lots of pretty vibrant colors to choose from but I picked up Tough as Taupe. I was drawn to this color, cause I haven't seen a cream shadow like this. It states that it will last for 24 hours, but who wants any type of makeup to last that long? I'll be glad if anything will last for at least 6 hours.

I got this color cause I really love taupe colors. It applies really creamy and smooth. It's pretty pigmented, as you can see from the swatch on my hand. Tough as Taupe is a dark semi-matte color. It's a very wearable and would look good on any skin tone.

I applied it on my lids without primer. Wearing mascara in this pic.

I've been wearing it was a few hours now and it hasn't crease on me yet. You can apply it with your fingers or a flat eyeshadow brush. These Maybelline Color Tattoos are very affordable than the department store brands.

Over all I love the Maybelline Color Tattoos. I will be getting a few more of the other colors soon.

Mini Haul ~ DEAL$

There's a store where I live (NY City) and it's called DEAL$. They have just about everything...well almost everything. Anyways I would like to share my very mini haul with you.

Take a closer look in my basket!

Two L.A. Colors Nail Art Deco Lacquers in Intense Pink & Gold Glitter. Can't wait to play with those! Both were a dollar each.

I actually got two things from Walgreen's. Suave Keratin Dry Shampoo. I really like the Suave Dry Shampoo more than the Tresemme Dry Shampoo. The Tresemme works but the smell is way too strong. Plus the Suave brand is much cheaper, it smells good and it doesn't leave me choking for air! The second item I bought from Walgreen's is Personna Eyebrow Shaper. I like to use these a lot.

 Heart Doilies. It comes with 16 pieces and it only cost me a dollar. I think this was super cute and it will come in handy for Valentine's Day desserts!

The basket that everything is in was also from Deals and also cost a dollar!

That's it for my mini haul. Have a great weekend!

Mini Haul

I was at CVS yesterday and picked up three things. Two nail polishes and a lip balm.

I picked up Maybelline Baby Lips and two Confetti nail polishes in 097 My Favorite Martian and 083 Party Palace Blue. F.Y.I none of these items were on sale!

Maybelline Baby Lips is a moisturizing lip balm with spf 20. It claims to give you up to 8HR Moisture + Lip Renewal. It also claims to keep lips less dry, less rough, more supple better looking lips.

Now I don't know if all that is true cause I only tired it out once and from what I can tell it does make my lips more softer and supple. It didn't last 8 hours but I wasn't expecting it to last long. It did make my lips look a bit more plump, which I loved!

The lip balm is in 30 Peach Kiss. It's a very pretty color, but it does go on sheer. They do have other colors of this lip balm. 

As you can see it's very sheer and it also has some shimmer to it!

Over all I'm liking this product! 

Okay Next up is...

Confetti Nail Colors in (L) 083 Party Palace Blue & (R) 097 My Favorite Martian.

Party Palace Blue is a very pretty glitter polish with some pink flecks in it and My Favorite Martian is a gorgeous green polish with shimmer flecks in it. Can't wait to paint my nails!

That's all for my mini haul! Look forward to some nail polish swatches soon! ^_^

Thanks for reading!
