Drugstore Haul!

, , , 0 Comments

Today we have a fun little drugstore haul! I did a little bit of damage at Walgreens and have some fun new/new to me products to try out.

The Goods

Some of these products I simply repurchased, like the L’Oreal Brown Stylist Plumber in light to medium (top middle) and the L’Oreal Infallible Pro Spray & Set. These have both proven to be great products that I continue to repurchase.

Foundations

I am desperately trying to get away from my Hourglass Vanish Stick foundation after being obsessed for months. The L’Oreal Infallible Total Coverage is a newer foundation on the market, added to the already well known Infallible line. It is advertised to be a natural finish foundation (somewhere between matte and dewy) with a ton of coverage. The L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte was an old love of mine I am picking up again after a few years. It is a matte finish foundation with great coverage.

Powder

Next we have the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder, a cult classic powder I have just never really had the opportunity to try. This is a basic setting powder, which is used to set your under eye concealer or your whole face.

Lashes

As a lash lover  I had to pick a few of these up. Eyelure lashes came out with a ‘Vlogger Series’ of lashes where popular beauty vloggers created their own styles of lashes. As a long time Nicole Guerriero fan, I had to pick up her #onefourthree pair, and the #Krazyglam pair from KrazyRayRay were calling my name as well. I have always loved Eyelure’s lash quality for the price.

Lipsticks

My lipstick game has been off lately. I am not really a fan liquid lipsticks, and I feel I really get stuck in ruts with the same nude lipstick. So I picked up a new formula (still nudes) that looked interesting, the L’Oreal Infallible Paints (literally could I pick up anything else from the L’Oreal Infallible line? I did not notice this until I went to make this post!) These are not liquid lips, I find them more similar to a melted lipstick. The color on the left is 314 Spicy Blush and on the right is 312 Nude Star.

Finally we have another lipstick in, what else, a nude! This is part of the new releases from Maybelline, a new selection of matte nudes. This color is 545 Beige Babe.

Reviews will follow once everything has been sufficiently tested! I hope everyone has a great weekend, thanks for stopping by!

Favorite Drugstore/ Affordable lashes

, , 0 Comments

It’s officially time for my first post!

And for my first topic we have one of my favorite beauty items to really just take up any look. Before lashes was a sad time for my makeup. I just could not figure out why all these beauty guru’s just seemed to have their eyes on another level! When I thought fake lashes, I thought dance recitals, and I couldn’t see why I would even need them with my decently long lashes. Mascara should do the trick right? Wrong.

So when I finally tried them out I quickly realized the error of my previous ways. They were game changing! And while there are many many different kinds of lashes (very high end mink, very low end shiny) I feel I have found some very affordable options for all needs. Here we go!

All Lash 2

There they are! From the top going clockwise we have:

  • Eylure Exaggerate No 143
  • Ardell Natural Babies in Black
  • Ardell Natural Beauties in Black
  • Eylure and Vegas Nay Grand Glamor
  • Ardell Wispies

So we will go from the biggest most glam to the most natural. I bet you can guess what we are starting with. That lovely blue box, the Eylure and Vegas Nay Grand Glamor lashes! If you are looking for a big lash that is somehow still really wearable, you will find it with these. Fluffy and slightly wispy with some great volume.

Everyday Glam Lash

 

Next in the slightly more natural/ everyday lash department we have these guys. The Ardell Wispies are classics. They look like your lashes just longer. Much longer. That is the only thing I will say, be aware that they may reach up to those eyebrows, but they definitely still have a natural look. The Eylure Exaggerate 143’s are a great find. I typically can only grab them at Ulta, and every time I go if I see them I snag them. They have slightly more volume then the Wispies but are definitely shorter. They just really give me the finished eyes I am looking for. Both of these guys are my go to lashes, night or day, just to bring my eyes to the next level.

Natural Lash

 

Finally we have the natural guys. For the lash beginner, I definitely recommend starting here! The Babies are literally for those who just want some slight “umph” to their lashes. No length really, just slight volume. But they are great when you are first starting just to throw on to practice applying lashes. The Beauties are a step up, with slight length and slight volume, but really nothing crazy by any means. The natural line by Ardell has many options for the lash newbie, and I recommend any really, the more wispy the better.

Both of these brands are available to drugstores (CVS, Walgreens), Target, and Ulta. They are very affordable (around $5 a pair) and can be worn a few times before tossing.

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you soon 🙂
