Target and CVS Haul

So this past weekend I did a "little" bit of shopping. I think we all know the meaning of "little", anyways I wanted to try out some products, and then maybe do a little review on them. What do you think, would you be interested in a review? 

Nope I didn't need these products but what can I say--they called to me. 

I wanted to try the CoverGirl + Olay facelift effect firming makeup foundation and the concealer as well. Also at Target I picked up Loreal Visible lift blush in Soft berry. I'm nervous because I'm not experienced when it comes to applying creme or liquid blush. From Loreal I also picked up the New infallible silky pencil eyeliner in #230 Highlighter. I also picked up the Maybelline mascara - Pumped UP Colossal - classic black in waterproof. I also wanted to try the Loreal youth code dark spot corrector, let us hope it works!

I also stopped at CVS and picked up some Milani lipsticks and a NYX blush. The blush looks a little scary to me...it's orange looking. I picked it up because I've seen how sometimes the color doesn't come out as scary when you actually put it on. Let's hope and see what comes of it. This is a swatch on my arm. (not very good I know) NYX - Cinnamon PB08

The Milani lipsticks - I love the way these lipsticks smell and taste. I know we don't eat them but - let's be real we do taste them whether we want to or not. These are the three colors I picked. (PS- I used my CVS coupon I got $3.00 off) 

Well --I also did a bit of online shopping at Sephora, I can share that as well if you would like. I love looking at hauls, specially on youtube. I just love to see what other people find and it gives me an idea of what to try and what NOT to try. 

Well my Chicadees until next time, I'm trying to get my June faves ready - hoping it will be done by Wed this week. 

Lorac Lipstick

Well hello lovely chicadees! Wanted to give you all my thoughts on the LORAC Alter Ego Highly Pigmented Cream Lipstick. (wow what a mouthful). All though they have amazing colors - I'm not that brave to try some of those beautiful bright colors. So I normally pick colors I can wear everyday (like to work). I got the color CEO #1495. 

(disclaimer: I suck at describing colors and scents) 

The color is described as a dusty rose. It is very creamy, and smells ah-mazing! It has a somewhat vanilla scent, very soft and not over powering or anything like that. It is very pigmented - and lasts a decent amount of time. But as with some lipsticks as the day wears on you are left with a ring around your lip line and not much color in the center of your lip. You just need to re-apply but other than that I really like this lipstick. 

The picture below will show you what it looks like on bare lips (no balm on lips). If you have dry/chappy lips you will see the lines.

I got mine at Ulta for $16.00. Not a bad price, considering some of the prices out there. They do have a lot of colors, I believe the most popular one is the Goddess one? I think that is the color the youtube beauty gurus have been going crazy for. I tried it but I felt for me that the color didn't look good on my tone of skin. (Of course my friend was like it looks great, but I wasn't feeling it). When I tried it has a purple tone underneath it, but I felt it washed my skin out. Not sure, maybe with proper makeup it would look better. 

Well thank you for stopping by, and reading my very first beauty blog post. I'm just a makeup lover. I'm not in anyway a professional or an experienced makeup artist at that. I just like to play with makeup and see what comes out.
