Mini Maybelline Haul from Rite Aid

What can I say, Maybelline does it again! I never thought I would be a fan of their lipsticks. When Maybelline released the Color Sensational® the Buffs I knew I would purchase at least two lipsticks.

Image

Image

Image(L-R) Touchable Taupe, Untainted Spice

These lipsticks are very pigmented and creamy.

I also purchased the Face Studio Master™ Glaze in Plums Up. I really love this cheek color. The color is very pigmented so a little goes a long way but the color is buildable. Goes on smoothly and blends so nicely.

Fall Makeup Tutorial: Featuring Sleek i-Divine Sunset Palette

I came up with this affordable Fall makeup tutorial using the i-Divine Sunset Palette from Sleek Makeup. If first primed my eyelids with the Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Primer.

Image

Next I used the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Rust as a base on my eyelids.

Image

I applied the rust color to the inner and outer third of my eyelid.

Image

I applied orange to the center of the lid.

Image

I applied the burgundy color to the crease.

Image

Next I applied black to the outer V.

Image

I used this champagne color as my highlight.

Image

Applied NYX Slide On Eye Pencil in Jet Black to the upper lash line.

Image

Applied NYX Slide On Eye Pencil in Brown Perfection to the lower lash line.

Image

I applied this pale pink shade to the inner corner.

Image

Image

Applied Maybelline Falsies® Big Eyes® Mascara to the upper and lower lashes.

Image

I used the NYX Powder Blush in Cocoa as a contour to my cheekbones.

Image

I applied NYX Powder Blush in Desert Rose to the apples of my cheeks.

Image

The NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Absolute Red as my lip color was the final touch to this look.

Image

The rest of the face:

  • Covergirl Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation in Spicy Brown
  • Covergirl Queen Collection Pressed Powder in Golden
  • NYX Auto Eye Brown Pencil in brown

 

 

 

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.

Rite Aid Haul (I was only supposed to be buying school supplies)

I recently visited Rite-Aid to get school supplies for my youngest daughter Naomi. She tagged along to make sure I bought the ink pens she really liked. While at Rite-Aid these items also found their way into my cart.

Image

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Moisturizing Lip Balm in Pink Shock  Baby Lips great at moisturizing your lips while providing a hint of color. Naomi wanted to try one for herself. She usually wears lip gloss.

Image

The Limited Edition Great Lash Colored Mascaras are back. I like the colors this year better than the ones last year. Naomi picked I See Blue for herself.

Image

 

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Special Effect Textured Nail Color in Tight Knit. Naomi saw these nail polishes at the nail salon she frequents. She wanted to try one for herself.

Image

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment. I use this oil as a pre-poo and have been really happy with the results. The other bottle I had ran out thanks to Naomi. 

Image

 

ULTA Haul: Featuring Maybelline

When I learned Maybelline was coming out with the Color Tattoo Pure Pigments, I was very intrigued. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a few of them. I was already very pleased with the Color Tattoo Cream Gel Shadow.

Image

Maybelline also released more Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm.

A Closer Look: Maybelline Volum’ Express the Rocket™ Mascara

Image

I have always been a fan of Maybelline’s mascaras. They are my favorite drug store brand. The first mascara I ever bought from Maybelline was Great Lash®. I’ve been really pleased with the Volum’ Express line of mascaras Maybelline offers.  In the past I have used the Falsies™ and Mega Plush® mascaras.

Image

With only one coat of the Rocket™ I noticed my lashes were fuller and thicker.ImageBeforeImageAfter
