Fall Drugstore Haul

CVS got a little visit from me the other night and I did a little damage. I have been pretty good lately with not buying any new make-up which is surprising since I've walked passed Sephora almost 5 different times this past month! It is hard to resist that place, but I held out.

So, when I had the opportunity to wander the aisles of CVS I took it! I am pretty happy with everything I bought too.

Above, are two Maybelline Color Tattoo colors and I am in love with them! They are incredible cream shadows with intense staying power. After swatching them on my hand even with make-up remover I was scrubbing. The one on the left is Tough as Taupe and on the right is Bad to the Bronze. 

Next, I was looking at some concealers but I really like the two concealers I have been using (Bobbi Brown and Sonia Kashuk's Hidden Agenda Palette), so I opted for a brightener. This is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser for Dark Circles. It is a great product because not only does it do its job of brightening but it offers a little extra coverage. I am victim to the dark circle so this helps me combat them even if I'm not wearing anything more than some concealer and powder.

 Then I couldn't resist the nail polish section and got these two beauties. I have to say these might be my go-to colors for the fall. The purple is called Sexy Divide and it is a true royal purple, and I love it! On the left is Mink Muffs, a browny taupe color. They are just so nice to look at and they apply really well. 

Finally, I picked up yet another Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey. This is a mauve pink color and it is a great lip color for the colder season. It isn't too bright but the color payoff is perfect and it would probably compliment most skin tones. 

Monday: Blushing

Sometime last week I had to run to the grocery store, and if you know me, then you know I made a beeline for the make-up aisle. I took a peek to see if there were any Revlon Lip Butters but alas it was a no. But I saw these and I was ecstatic! The Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes are awesome, here are some pictures and swatches.

Starting with the bright pink color, that is number 15 names Rose Petal. This is a beautiful color that will work with almost anyone. The next one is number 60 which is named Coffee Cake. I honestly think this might be my favorite. It looks more gold/orange in the picture but it is the perfect neutral blush ever. Of course, I would stick with more light/medium skin tones with this. It might not show up on darker skin tones and the really light skinned, it could just look a little dirty. The last one is number 50, Plum Wine. I adore this color, but I haven't really used it yet because it's more of a nighttime color at least for me.

I included a picture of the profiles to see that it is puffed up and that you can squish it down. Honestly, they are regular cream blushes but they dry to a powder finish which is kind of nice. The squishy-ness of the product is just fun, not really any need for it. I give these 4 stars, only because the two lighter colors you really need to pack on, and I could see the product being used much faster especially because of how soft it is.
