L'Oreal Colour Riche Glossy Balms & Swatches

This post is a continuation from my Rite Aid haul post last week; the latest additions to my collection all swatched together for your viewing pleasure.  I enjoy the color payoff these balms give and the gloss, they are similar to the Cover Girl lip crayons but with much more pigmentation.  I like how they feel comfortable on my lips and I feel they are the perfect step into Fall for someone like me who doesn't wear too many bold, bright, or deep lip colors.  Enjoy!

Rite Aid L'Oreal 40% off Haul w/swatches

Happy Monday!

What better way to start a new week off than with a haul! This past week Rite Aid had a fabulous 40% off sale and I had a few items that I really wanted to pick up.  I prefer lip crayons as lip products to lipsticks because they usually have a pretty sheer color pay off and that is perfect for me.  The colors in these balms were slightly more bright than the packaging but I think I can make them work, I can already tell you that I enjoy them.  They go on smoothly and I can't tell that they're on my lips when I'm wearing them, I picked up 2 more in Fall shades as well that will be up later this week. I'm undecided on the Miss Manga mascara but I will keep trying it and keep you updated. Enjoy!

New L'Oreal Colour Riche Dual Effects Eye Shadow Quads

TGIF!
This morning I'll be sharing the new L'Oreal Colour Riche Dual Effects Eye Shadow Quad pictures and swatches.  I own 2 of the past quads but was never really drawn to trying out too many with the colors not reaching out to me too much.  These quads were a total different story, the colors and packaging spoke to me instantly and once I swatched them the pigmentation was wonderful! I swatched them without a primer and the only quad that was so-so was the Perpetual Nude set, I believe it would perform beautifully with a primer on the eyes.  As I said before I much prefer this packaging over the previous and the product is gorgeous in itself. Enjoy!

L'Oreal Nude Ballet vs Maybelline Nude Illusion

Over the weekend I made a trip to CVS in search of 2 new nude lippies and to my shock, both were in stock! The 2 I was hoping to pick up were L'Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinare in "Nude Ballet" & Maybelline Colour Elixir in "Nude Illusion", whenever I try to find the Maybelline version it's sold out so it must be good! After buying these and swatching them I really see how similar they are but I'm glad I have both, they seem to be different formulas but in the same shade so I hope to enjoy them both for a while!

My November Beauty Haul

Hi friends,

I went on vacation for the week of Thanksgiving and picked up a few items, I didn't allow myself to go completely crazy but I grabbed a few things I'd been lusting after.  I will have swatches and reviews of these products in the next couple of weeks as well as pictures of the brand spanking new Zoya collection for Spring 2014 so stay tuned! Enjoy!

The first thing I picked up was the Zoya Remove+ since my local Ulta doesn't seem to want to restock this for me, I've done a post on my Nail Must Haves and included this in it.


I've been looking for a fan brush to apply my highlighter since I don't own one but have had trouble with the $14 price tag that most of them have.  I saw someone on YouTube recommend the EcoTools as a much cheaper and comparable alternative to the high end and I've loved it the couple of times I've used it. 

Next I started collecting shades of my new favorite lip product; the Maybelline Color Elixirs, I love the color selection and the staying power these have.

On my trip I picked up 2 new nail polishes from Essie's 2013 Winter collection; Sable Collar and Parka Perfect

While at Ulta I was having trouble choosing shades out of the NYX Butter Glosses when caught a glimpse of the Enchanted Kiss Butter Gloss Set. I will have swatches of each of my Butter Glosses when I post the review.

On Black Friday Sedona Lace had their awesome 50% off sale as well as a $5 coupon so I took advantage since I'd been waiting since last year's sale; I got the Se7ven Midnight Lace Synthetic Brush set but haven't had the chance to use it yet.

After much YouTube buzz about the Physician's Formula Glow Pearls, I thought I'd give it a try.  It's a drugstore highlighter I've wanted to try this out for a while and I'm glad I bit the bullet because it's just perfect.

 Lastly I have this mascara that I bought on Vacation and I've been enjoying it, it's the L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly and I'll have the full review up later this week!

Products in this haul:
EcoTools Deluxe Fan Brush
Maybelline Color Elixirs
Zoya Remove+
Essie Winter 2013
NYX Enchanted Kiss Butter Gloss Set
Sedona Lace Se7ven Midnight Lace Synthetic Brush Set
Physician's Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls
L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara


Did you guys catch any Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals??

"Brought" vs "Bought"

Hi Friends! Today I'm sharing a new type of post that I like to call "Brought" vs "Bought" & this series will center around travel & vacation makeup. I will be showing you the items I "brought" with me on vacation and the products that I picked up or "bought" while shopping on a trip. This time I made about 4-5 shopping trips & I feel I picked up some goodies that I'd been eyeing, hope you enjoy!

Brought:

My Travel Makeup Bag Post

Bought:

My first shopping trip was to CVS & I picked up Physician's Formula Fake Out Mascara "Ultra Black", CoverGirl Outlast Nail "Constant Candy", Neutrogena Moisture Smooth Color Stick "Fresh Papaya", & CVS advanced nail polish remover.

The next trip I made was to have my son's hair cut & the Hair Cuttery we went to, happened to have the Germany & Skyfall Collection mini's on sale for $4.99, reg. price of $12.50 so I snatched them right up & can't wait to try them out!

I had tons of fun parousing the cosmetic section of WalMart in search of the new Flower Beauty line, being the self proclaimed nail polish junkie I am I've been wanting to try out the nail lacquer line so I picked up 3 to start. These are $4.98 each & I loved the bright spring shades I chose! I also picked up the new L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Explosions "Brownish Black", I've only tried it once but love how great it makes my lashes look with 1 coat!

My final shopping trip was to Sephora for a few "wants" that I haven't been able to get off my mind. My first 2 items were the Lorac Baked Matte Satin blush "exposed"& Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Cream "Mudslide".  Finally I had the great task of choosing my first high end eyelash curler, it was a toss up between Shiseido($19) & Tarte($16), I went with the Tarte knowing that I could return it if it didn't "change" my life & I could grab the Shiseido version. Included with the eyelash curler is a mini Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara, which I own in full size & love!

Thanks for reading another post!
