Target Haul: Featuring CoverGirl

I stopped by Target recently. That seems to be the only store where I can find the CoverGirl Queen Collection All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation in my shade. By the way, my shade is Spicy Brown.

I ended up buying a few more things too.

Image

Image

Image

I wanted to try the Flamed Out Shadow Pencils. I chose Gold Flame and Melted Caramel Flame. CoverGirl released a new eyeliner. I bought the Ink It By Perfect Point Plus All Day Eye Pencil in Black Ink.

It’s no secret my fondness of Maybelline’s mascaras. I’ve been curious about the Flamed Out Max Volume Mascara from CoverGirl. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this mascara. It made my lashes thicker and longer with no clumps.

To stay on trend with the deep berry and wine lip colors for Fall, I chose Fine Wine lipstick from the Queen Collection.

Rite Aid Haul: After Halloween Clearance

After Halloween clearance doesn’t have to mean buying candy. This is what I found on clearance.

I don’t necessarily have to wait until next Halloween to wear these false eyelashes.

I already have a silver glitter nail polish. The eyeshadow and lipstick I could actually wear now.

A Closer Look: Sleek i-Divine Sunset Palette Mineral Based Eye Shadow Palette

I saw this palette reviewed on http://www.temptalia.com. When I saw how beautiful and vibrant the colors in the palette were, I knew I had to buy it. I purchased this palette from the Amazon Marketplace. The seller that was used in amazon.com was RM Cosmetics. I paid a total of $15.49 for the i-Divine Sunset Palette. ($12.99 for the palette and $2.50 for shipping)S. This palette is perfect for Fall.

I do plan on making more Sleek Makeup purchases in the future. 🙂

 

Rite Aid Haul: Featuring Maybelline and Kiss

On my recent trip to Rite Aid this is what I purchased.

Image

Image

Image

Since I’m already a fan of Maybelline’s mascaras, I wanted to try the Falsie ® Big Eyes ® Mascara. I purchased Blackest Black.

Lashes after

I only applied one coat of this mascara. I really like the brush for the bottom
lashes.

I also saw the Fall 2013 makeup collection from Maybelline. I purchased only one lipstick and that shade was Midnight Plum. This color reminds me of Cyber from MAC and Talk That Talk from the RiRi Hearts MAC Collection. I really love Midnight Plum. I may have to pick up another lipstick in that shade.

Image

Image

Image

I need to get back into doing my nails. I purchased the Kiss Nail Artist. I have enough nail polish. No more excuses. 😉

Homecoming Style 2013

This past weekend October 12, 2013, my youngest daughter Naomi went to Homecoming. She is currently a sophomore in high school so she was really excited to go a second year.

Naomi has been telling her friends and classmates about my blog. One of her classmates asked if I would be able to do her makeup for homecoming.

Image

I assured Lynne’s parents I would keep the makeup age appropriate.

Image

I used NYX and Maybelline on Lynne’s eyes. I really liked the way Maybelline’s Color Tattoo Pure Pigments in Improper Copper looked on her.

Image

Image

Image

I did Naomi’s hair and makeup. The dress she got from her big sister’s closet. The shrug and booties are mine.
