DRUGSTORE MAKEUP HAUL! MAYBELLINE PRODUCTS!

SO..... I've been really bad and bough more makeup that I will ever need in my life. BUT Wal-Mart was having such a great deal! A lot of the new Maybelline products were only $5.97 which was great because normally they would be over $10 bucks! And the nail polishes were only $2.50! :O

I honestly think I have problems with money. No amount of business classes could help me and I've taken 6! I guess I'll just have to deal with the fact that I will be alone and broke in the future! :(

LASTING DRAMA WATERPROOF GEL EYELINER IN BLACKEST BLACK 

So the first thing I wanted to try was the gel eyeliner! 

REVIEW:

I really like this because it's a dryer formula than most of the gel eyeliners that I've tried and it's just great for me because I have oily eyelids! :( When companies say something is waterproof and 24 hours, they're just hyping it up. This will definitely NOT last that long and it will smudge but that's all makeup right? I really like the brush of this but still prefer an angled eyeliner brush to put this kind of eyeliner on. The pigmentation is great and the formula is dry like I have stated before so this is GREAT! This was much cheaper than my Estee Lauder gel eyeliner and I prefer this over that one as well! 

MASTER PRECISE PEN EYELINER IN BLACK

REVIEW:

I really need to stop buying these pen form eyeliners unless they are waterproof or something. This is great and the pen IS really that thin but to be honest, I don't need a thin pen because I like thicker lines. This will DEFINITELY smudge if you don't put primer or matte-fy the eyelids ahead of time because when this touches water or oil, it will move in an instant. Cray cray right? I need to stop spending money on things like this. 

Next things I got was nail polish! I am obsessed with coral and mint green this spring/all year round so I decided to pick up only 2 from this Maybelline line. I actually controlled myself for once! 

REVIEW:

These polishes are really bright and the color you see is the color that goes on the nails. The color is really opaque and definitely can be built up with more coats. It's nothing professional and it WILL chip but it's nail polish and it was cheap so I didn't mine. I just love these two colors! 

I went ahead and got two of the Maybelline Vivids lipstick line because I've heard really great things about. GUESS what colors I got? Shocking Coral and Vibrant Mandarin of course! Any lip product that has the words coral or looks orangy, I am THERE!

REVIEW:

I LOVE these lipsticks. It's not dry on the lips and it has so shimmer. I think that a lot of companies are trying not put a lot of glitter and shimmer into their products because it gets too much for daily looks. I think that these are great colors that I would wear day to day! The color stays on for a reasonable amount of time before it starts to fade and I just like the way they apply. They have a good smell to it and doesn't taste waxy which I like. I hate those cheap lipsticks that smell and taste really bad. YUCK! 

There goes more money that I probably didn't have to spend on these products so yup there you go! 

It's funny because I know no one really reads my blog but it's nice to write to people, even if it's myself!  LOL I'm a loser, I know! :P

ESTEE LAUDER HAUL

So being an addict to makeup, I am SOLD every time there is a gift with purchase. Marketing people really knew what they were doing with this one.

So Estee Lauder has a Lilly Pulitzer gift with purchase. Now, being a sorority girl, I was all up on this!

This was the gift. I'm saving the bag and the toiletry stuff for when I ACTUALLY go on a sorority trip  or traveling!!! 

AND you also get this palette if you spend over $80! They sure know how to get you to spend money. 

Normally I don't shop at department stores for makeup unless if it's skincare from Clinique or what my mom buys from Lancome. LOL 

Ended up spending $100 that day! :O

***Also, I'm not impressed with Canadian prices! :( 

PURE COLOR LONG LASTING LIPSTICK 

COLOR: CORAL SUN (OBSESSED WITH CORAL) 

TYPE: CREME 

I just can't get over coral! I basically only buy coral and pink lipsticks now... it's such a bad habit but I love it! 

CAD $32.00 

USD $25.00 -.-

PURE COLOR BLUSH 

COLOR: POPPY PASSION 07

TYPE: A LITTLE SHIMMER, MOSTLY MATTE

It looks really orange like in the picture but I assure you that it is ACTUALLY a red toned color. I think this is gorgeous because I am a BLUSH JUNKIE AND NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT IT. Honestly though, it goes on well and it's pretty matte so LOVE! 

$32.00 

DOUBLE WEAR STAY-IN PLACE GEL EYELINER

COLOR: BLACK 

I know that Estee Lauder makes good cream eyeshadows but I needed a gel eyeliner and it's probably the same formula as the Bobbi Brown or Mac one because it's all under the same Estee Lauder umbrella company. I just love gel eyeliner although I think I'm going to be in need of a new brush really soon! 

$25.00 

***PRICES ARE ALL IN CND UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE! 

Hoped you all enjoy shopping and am obsessed with makeup as I am!!! I need to stop like honestly... This is not good for me... or my wallet! :'(

IPSY/MYGLAM BAG FEBRUARY 2013 (CANANDA)

HELLO LOVELIES!

I have the Feb Ipsy/MyGlam bag to show all today! :)))

So here is what I got!

This month's theme was "GET THE RED CARPET READY" 

I really enjoyed this months bag, even the bag! :D 

It had full sized items and deluxe samples which I don't like as much as full sized (obviously) but it was nice to get try some things. 

The Bag 

- Black, shiny and pretty cute! 

First Item 

POP!beauty 

Smoky Lash Kapow!!! in No. 1 Smoky Black - DELUXE SIZE 

This is just like the old fashioned mascara. The brush is a normal looking bristles and goes on nice, but not as nice as others that I have tried. 

Second Item 

MICA Beauty Cosmetics

Gel Eyeliner in Black - FULL SIZE 

I was just needing a new gel eyeliner and I received it in my bag this month. This is a really nice creamy eyeliner that stays on a very long time. It is very comparable to the M.A.C fluidline or the Bobbi Brown one. The real MICA beauty gel liners have a brush on the top of it but the one that we received in the Ipsy bag just has a cap and to be honest I like this one better! Retail price $30.00!!! :O 

Third Item 

PIXI

Flawless and Poreless Primer - DELUXE SIZE 

I don't use primers because I don't use foundation everyday. When I tried this on my face, it went on smoothly and covered more of my pores. Overall, this is a good-priced, good-quality primer. 

Forth Item 

Coastal Scents 

Sample Quad in "In the Spotlight" - DELUXE SIZE 

I didn't like this quad very much because the little case is hard to use and it didn't have colors that I'd wear all the time except for two: Dark Goldenrod and Golden Globe. The matte color Sunbeam is useless because it won't go with many of the other colors. It was a nice sample though. I'm not a big fan of Coastal Scents eyeshadows because they have a lot of fallout and the color pigmentation is ok. Not GREAT, but ok quality.  

Here are the SWATCHES! 

Fifth Item 

LASH CARD 

Little pieces of cardboard to guard the lashes while putting on mascara or block fallout. 

The lash cards are a great idea but I already have a little contraption that block the mascara from my eyelid and it's plastic and will last longer than these lash cards. 

Hope you liked my post! :)
