Drugstore Haulin'!!

Hey lovelies! Over the past few weeks, I have been completely stressed over starting my new job! OMG, I don't know what it is about this particular job change that has me son on edge, but I tell you it is affecting me big time! So not only has it caused me some stress pimples, but it as resulted in me engaging in retail therapy! For some strange reason, I believe that since I am starting a new job, I need new makeup. Go figure.

As you can see, I have purchased several things. I even feel like this isn't all of it, but it's all I can remember at this time!. What I do know is that some of these things I have been wanting to try and I just happened to catch some really good deals, so why no indulge in this stress induced haul! Here's what I got:

Wet N Wild: Coloricon blush in Apri-cot in the Middle and the photofocus Settinf spray. The blush I could have done without because it's too light. I think it was 3 or 4 bucks so I'll just give it away! I am currently testing out the setting spray, I'll let you know how that goes!

Elf: From elf I got the blush palette in dark, the pro liquid eyeliner, contour brush, and their mist  and set spray. So I have been having a hard time getting my hands in everything I hit except for the eyeliner. I finally came across a stocked display and was able to get all but the setting spray. Later I went to a CVS and got the last mist and set spray and discovered that I had a $3 reward bucks coupon! So I got my mist and set spray for $.24! SCORE!

Revlon and Maybelline: Great

Story! I went to my neighborhood Kroger to grab a few things for dinner and did what I always do: walk down the beauty isle! To my surprise, all the makeup was on clearance. I got the Maybelline lash blast volume mascara for $2.50 and the brow drama brow gel for $2.25. Then I ran across those Revlon HD matte lipsticks! They were $3 a piece: you know I copped those! I even went back and got one more!

The other stuff, y'all already know the deal! Those L.A girl pro concealer and color corrector were $2.99 each and I picked up that Covergirl Queen ebony bronzer for about $8. The shadows are from a brand called Zuri I think and that little palette was about $3.50 so I picked it up!

I have been experimenting with everything and trying to create some looks for when I begin my new gig next week! I will also have some more blogs going up as I will be comparing a few things and telling you what I think. See ya next time!!!!

 

Review: influenster #FitMeFoundation and Too Faced Sugar Pop palette!

(My look using Fit Me and Sugar Pop. I swear my car is my photo studio!)

Hey there! So I wanted to jump on real quick and review my Fit Me foundation by Maybelline that I got to try out from influenster! I also wanted to give a quick review of my new Sugar Pop palette from Too Faced!

First things first! I received Maybelline Fit Me foundation from influenster to try out and review! Well after receiving this product and wearing it I stand on my original opinion: This is my holy grail! First of all, the color match is unbeatable for me! I wear Coconut 355 and it matches my skin perfectly! The finish is more satin than it is matte which I really like. You do have to set this or else after about 5 hours, your oil will be shining all the way through! I don't wear high end foundation. Because it's just not on my budget at this moment, but I can imagine it's pretty comparable to some higher end foundations out there! It's easy to work with and blend and the coverage is buildable! I think most who try this will like it!

Next I want to talk about my Too Faced Sugar Pop eyeshadow palette! Now I have not been into shadows until recently, so I know I'm late on this palette, but I don't care!! I have been really wanting the Chocolate Bar palette, but I caught this one on sale for $18 (retail $36) and I liked the colors so I bought it! This is my first high end eye shadow palette and I'm glad I got it! The shadows are very buttery, pigmented, and they blend very easily, which is the best perk for a beginner! Blending is everything and these shadows do that well! Now that I have an idea of how these palettes work, it is beyond necessary that I pick up not only the Chocolate Bar, but also the PB&J palette as well! I'm glad this was my first high end palette because it was so worth it!
