Revlon Nail Polish

Revlon Nail Polish
Whimsical


I picked this up in Harmons and it reminds me of melted ice cream. I have a few other glitter polishes from Revlon and I love them, application is great, but removal is always a PITA!

Cos Bar for Target Nail Polish

Cos Bar for Target Nail Polish
Lime Green, Bronze


The Shops at Target (info from Target) Cos Bar is available from 5/6/12 until 5/12/12 from what I understand. I picked up two of these polishes for $3 each. 

Wet N Wild Fast Dry Nail Polish

Wet n Wild Fast Dry Nail Polish


I think I went a little crazy in Kmart! Wet n Wild $1.99 polishes were on sale for BOGO 50% off, so I picked up 6........And this is why I have almost 300 bottles of polish. I really love the names of the Fast Dry polishes, and I have to admit that I really bought Saved by the Blue just for the name, luckily I really love the color too.

NYX Cream Blush

NYX Cream Blush
Glow

I love blush, I love it in all its forms: pressed powder, cream, loose powder, stick, whip and any other way you can think of! I have a few other NYX cream blushes so the formula isn't new to me. Usually I don't wear cream blushes in the warmer weather because I have oily skin and they tend to melt on me. Lately I have figured out a way to layer them with translucent powder and don't use as much product so that I won't melt!

Milani Powder Eyeshadows

Milani Powder Eyeshadow
Olympian Blue and Shocking Pink



New from Milani are the Powder Eyeshadows, exclusively available at CVS. I picked up 2 from my local CVS, these are the matte shadows, they also have pearl shades.

Well lets get right down to the nitty gritty of these, as most matte shadows are they are chalky. BUT super bright. When taking pictures the pink washes out quite a bit but it is NEON! If you love brights and neons these two shades are for you. Blending is a bit difficult because of the chalky texture, but used over NYX eyeshadow base made things easier for me. I would buy this over and over and over again! In fact I have my eyes on a few more colors - On to the swatches!

Jordana Lip Out Loud Lipgloss

Jordana Lip Out Loud Lipgloss
ASAP, XOXO, BTW

Jordana Lip Out Loud Lip glosses range from sheer or slightly pigmented. I have picked up 3 of the Lip Out Louds, one is sheer with glitter, one is tinted, and one is slightly pigmented. They have a sweet candy like smell to them, they aren't overly sticky, and apply nicely. Wear time is just like any other lipgloss, it stays put for a good amount of time until you eat or drink.

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow
Fierce & Tangy, Tenacious Teal, Pomegrante Punk

Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadows are highly pigmented cream shadows. These are becoming my favorite cream shadows, mostly because they are the only ones that I have gotten to apply correctly. I have oily eyelids so with out a primer or base they crease something fierce on me! As long as I use a base they will stay put for up to 8 hours, maybe even longer, but 8 hours is pretty much my max before I remove my makeup. So far I only own 3 of these put I plan on picking up more. I find that using my finger or a concealer brush works best for application. The color payoff from these are wonderful and they are so buildable! I have even used Tenacious Teal as a base for a few teal eyeshadows with great results!

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush
Plum Wine, Fresh Pink, Hot Tamale

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush is a light cream blush. When I say light cream it has a power like finish to it. Which makes it perfect for spring and summer. Since cream blushes tend to be heavier and melt I only wear them in the cooler months. I love these blushes, application for me has been a little tricky, I don't get the color payoff I want with a brush so I have been using my fingers. They blend beautifully, and wear very well.
