Walgreens Haul!

Cover Girl, Milani, Maybelline, Sally Hanson, and Jordana

Today I was lucky enough to do a small shopping trip to Walgreens. Almost everything I bought was a new product for me, the only thing that was a repeat purchase was the Cover Girl Lash Blast Clump Crusher mascara. I also bought the new Cover Girl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 foundation in Ivory. The right color for me would have been Classic Ivory but they didn't have it in stock and I didn't have the patience to wait till they had again. So in the mean time I'll be deepening it up with some bronzer. I also picked up the Milani Fix Brow Kit in Light. I've been using a pencil from Maybelline for years, but I'm curious to see how this powder functions. I've seen EleventhGorgeous use this brow kit before and it seems to work well, they also got it based on a recommendation from a makeup artist so that really helped push me to buy this. Then I picked up two of the new Maybelline Color Whispers in One Size Fits Pear and the other in Pink Possibilities. I did try these in the car because I was too excited and One Size Fits Pear seams pretty transparent with a little shimmer. While Pink Possibilities has a nice, buildable color. I also picked up a Jordana Fabuliner in Black. I have never been good at using liquid liner and I have decided that I'm going to master that skill if it kills me! Plus the liner was only $1.99.  I also picked up two new nail polishes. Lately I have found that I'm really drawn to taupes and rosegolds. One heck of a combination, I know. So I picked up Smokey Taupe from the Cover Girl Outlast line and Strobe Light from Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear. All in all I'm pretty happy with my purchases. I haven't really used any of them enough to form an opinion about them just yet so reviews are soon to follow. Be Fearless. Be Beautiful. Be You.

Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear in Lacey Lilac

Can I just say that I am loving all the colors coming out for spring? I went to Target not too long ago and bought some new nail polishes. Of the two that I bought this one turned out to be my favorite. It is an absolutely beautiful color. I like the way it looks next to my skin and I love how it looks spring like but it's still a little muted so you can wear it now in the middle of winter. I've worn this a few times now and every time that I do I get questions about the color on my nails. I am happy to report that is is a long lasting nail polish (if you couldn't guess by the name Xtreme Wear) which is great for me. I'm a nursing assistant and I work full time in a nursing home so I was my hands a lot. I mean A LOT. So of course this means my nail polishes chip easily and faster than they would on their own. Most other nail polishes might start chipping 2 days after I put them on once I go back to work. This last 5 day's before I see chipping. That alone makes this polish a good buy!

Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet Review

I love watching beauty and makeup videos on Youtube. One of my favorites to watch is LegallyBrunette214. For the past week or so she has been wearing this beautiful mint color that I have been loving. Of course I don't know what it is. So today when I was in CVS getting more cotton balls and 2 new Wet n' Wild products I stopped over to look at the nail polishes. It had been a while since I bought a new color and there was a time when I bought a new color every time I went to the store. Then I saw it. There was this beautiful mint green that caught my eye and I knew that I had to have it and it was coming home with me. I went home and took of my old chipped polish and immediately put this on my nails. The application was very smooth and the color was very opaque. One a scale of 1-10 of opaqueness I would give this an 8. I did have to put on a fairly light second application to get the color pay off that I wanted. This is definitely a matte color and while the polish has a gloss finish of it's own I put on a separate top coat to get the supper glossy look that I wanted. I love this color and I have a feeling that this color is going to become a regularly used polish of my collection.
