I Am Returning This: Maybelline 24 hr Color Tattoo in Waves of White

Summer Collections time!! 

I got lucky and got to snatch this beauty.

Maybelline Color Tattoos in Waves of White is duo chrome white cream eyeshadow. It looks so plain in the jar. It's just white, but when you swatch it you'll see so many colorful dimensions. 

These guys are so pigmented! The first time I put this on, I slapped it on with my finger, and it was "woah." 

Instead, I put a really thin layer and it gives a very pretty iridescence. 

Unfortunately, I'm returning this. I have REALLY oily eyelids and here's my proof. It creased on me! I haven't even left the house yet! I'm sure I can put primer on, and it might last. But what I want in a cream eyeshadow is put it on and go. If i have to put on primer and cream eyeshadow, what's the point? I can just put on primer and powder eyeshadow. 

Back to Walmart, we go! 

Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya

Ladies, this baby is worth the find! 

Why this isn't permanent is beyond me. 

Revlon Lip Butter does not need an introduction. There are thousands of reviews about them. The first few I got was Peach Parfait. I used it to it's bitty end. It's gorgeous, but I noticed it gave me a allergic reaction. My lips peel then later it made my lips sore. A huge bummer. 

I'm sure it was the glitter that affected the allergic reaction, so I decided to try this sucker. This stuff is creamy and hydrating while punching a ton of color. And Juicy Papaya a coral pinky nude color. Is that too much color description? Swatched on my hand, it looks a sheer coral, but on my lips it's pinky coral.  

Is it just me or is there little product in these things?

April 2013 Favorites

 How has it been already a month? 

Didn't I just post a monthly favorites? 

Time goes by too fast. 

CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation: I have been using this every day. This replaced all my Dior and Chanel foundations. The lasting power on this bad boy is unbeatable. If you're wondering, I have NC 20-25 skin and I use 832 'Nude Beige.' 

Benefit High Beam: I never really fell in love with this. I hate packaging and the nail polish applicator. The packaging doesn't help when you're in a rush. Other than that it's a great pinky moonstone highlighter. I love mixing it with the CoverGirl Outlast Foundation for a spring look. 

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit: One of the very few cream shadows that lasts on my oily eyelids. If you are experiencing creasing, try looking down for a few minutes; that lets the cream shadow dry a bit. The color birthday suit is like the color of my skin with lots of mini glitters. I love it. It's like I have no makeup on, but my eyes are poppin'! 

Stila Convertible Color in Peony: I need more colors!!! I shove this on my cheek like no other. I look like a clown, and I don't care. This stuff is gorgeous. A dusty mauve pink that contours my cheek while giving a gorgeous glow. The do fade in time, but it doesn't fade very blotchy or patchy. It's still very pretty. I just need more colors. That's all. 

L'oreal Telescopic Shocking Waterproof Mascara The best discover of this month! It actually holds my curl, which never happens! It doesn't smudge, which doesn't happen! This is a really great day time mascara. It makes your lashes look fake. It's THAT lengthening. I can't believe I found a mascara that holds my curl!! :) 

Such great stuff this month! 

What are your makeup standouts? 

Origins Plantscription Anti-aging Concealer

 Honestly, I did not expect a lot from this little concealer. Origins is not exactly known for their makeup. But some people are raving about it, and I thought "why not?" 

And I'm kind of loving it.. 

Origins Planscriptions Anti-aging concealer ($17.50) is my on -the-run concealer. The doe foot applicator makes it easy to pop it on my blemishes then blend with my brush quickly. Depending on  how you apply it, it can give a medium to very full effect. I have a lot of acne scarring. What I do is tap the concealer on the icky spot for maximum coverage. 

The best part of this concealer is it doesn't feel like concealer. It feels like nothing at all. 

But there was some sucky parts. It doesn't have a large color range. There are only 3 colors. I have light/medium and it's dark on me. (NC 20-25). It does have a tiny salmon tone, so try it under your eyes. Sometimes it works on me. It depends how much sleep I have been getting. If you have severe dark circles, it may not work for you. It also doesn't last. I would say within 2-3 hours I would get shiny. This is definitely something suited more for dry to normal skin tones. 

I know, it doesn't lasts and the color is wrong, so why do I love it? 

Because it looks so natural. When I wear this stuff it never looks like I'm caking stuff up to cover a pimple. 

Wet N Wild Megalast in Purty Persimmon

Confession: I'm scared of bold lipsticks. 

I think attracts too much attention, but I don't mind it on other people. 

I know it's just me, so I'm trying to stretch my limits. 

I'm gotta tell you.. The packaging sucks. It feels cheap. It's all clear and black plastic. My biggest gripe is twisting the bullet up and down. It's a little tough to do so. It feels it'll break any time soon, but it's $3. What should I expect, right?

Wet and Wild Megalast in Purty Persimmon is a red orange matte lipstick. I bought Wet N Wild Megalast in Purty Persimmon because I heard it's a dupe for Mac Morange. I don't think this is an exact dupe. Morage is way more orange and brighter. I do like this lipstick more because it feels more wearable than Morange. I love matte anything. I never liked lipgloss. It may be a generational thing because my mom doesn't like them either. She says lipgloss looks like pork oil on my lips! Scarred for life. 

I didn't like the color when I first put it on. I was like WOAH! But it's growing on me. I think I can manage.. 

What do you think? 

Yay or nay? 

Cover Girl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation

Oh man, was I pleasantly surprised!! 

This is a winner, girls! 

Honestly, I am not a fan of Covergirl. They don't bring a lot to the makeup table. I never been wowed with any of their products before. They are also a huge for animal testing. I'm sure I use makeup brands that also test on animals, but Covergirl is a big one. I just avoid them. But, everyone one is raving about this foundation. I have yet to hear a bad review.  So, I bit the bullet. 

This is everything I wanted Revlon Colorstay to be. I found Revlon Color stay too thick and oxidized on my skin. Covergirl Outlast 3 in 1 foundation is a thinner consistency that gives a matte medium to full coverage foundation. I'm having pimple issues this week. (boo), so along with this foundation I use Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage for that extra coverage. The best part of this stuff is that IT LASTS. I am really amazed. No foundation lasts on me!! Ever! That alone is a winner. I don't need to wear primer when I wear this foundation. Just with the foundation alone, this can lasts up to 6-8 hours before I get shiny.

I love mixing other products with this stuff. Lately, I mix Benefit High Beam with this foundation. It's great because I get best of both worlds. I get a dewey complexion with lasting power! 

If you are even slighting thinking about getting this foundation. Get it! 

You will not regret it. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
