CVS Shopping

By Phyrra on April 18, 2010

Thanks to my lovely friend over at Nouveau Cheap, I knew that I should head to CVS today to pick up several things that were on sale.

Here’s what I grabbed:

Covergirl LashBlast Fusion in Very Black
Maybelline color sensaction in Peachy Scene
Lash Curler & Tweezers
Physicians Formula shimmer Strips Custom eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner for Blue Eyes
   Black with Blue Glitter
   Deep Blue
   Deep Brown
Physicians Formula Healthy Wear SPF 50 Powder Foundation in Translucent Light
Sally Hansen Black Nail Art Pen

Let me just say, my eyes are Blue-Green. Sometimes Blue-Green-Grey. Sometimes I can make them look Teal, while othertimes, grey, but usually they look green and sometimes blue.

I really wish that someone out there would put together makeup kits to bring out the Teal in my eyes, or bring out the grey.

I’ve been told that mint eye shadows are what I should be wearing to bring out the teal. I seem to get better results when I wear deeper teals though, as long as I don’t throw in a favored yellow-green chartreuse.

Anyway, I did swatch the eye liners and the lipstick for you.

I’m so happy to have snagged those liners finally! Between Nouveau Cheap & Nymphette I’ve been dying to try them

Maybelline New Color Sensational Lipcolor

By Phyrra on July 16, 2009

I was at Walgreens today, taking advantage of their $5 off coupon (good today and tomorrow, July 17) to pick up more of my daily moisturizer, and I saw the new Maybelline Color Sensational lip color and decided to use that to reach my $25 mark (have to spend $25 to get $5 off). I also got a $1 coupon off on the Maybelline lip color as well.

I picked up lipsticks in:
Very Cherry 635
Red Revival 645
I picked up the lipliner, which I am returning, thank god for Walgreens return policy as the color is way too dark:
Rose 0
The nice lady working at Walgreens thought that this lipliner would work, as it was the lightest pink in stock in the store. It’s way too dark. Not me. I need a nice nude pink shade for the times when I just don’t want to use my clear lipliner.

I did swatch the colors for you, because I feel the swatches on Maybelline’s site are inaccurate.

I absolutely LOVE the square red clear packaging. They’re easy to stack and store like thsi! The lipstick feels very moisturizing on my lips, as well, but I’ve got to put it to a better test. I really do love their fall in love with color campaign.

I do not like how the lipliner feels. It doesn’t flow smoothly on my arm, so I can’t imagine it would apply smoothly to my lips. However, I’m pretty spoiled by my MAC lipliners.

I may exchange the lipliner for Plum Paradise or Coral Crush.

Has anyone tried these lip colors?
What do you think of them?

Edit:
I did go return that Rose lip liner since I hated it. The woman I bought it from was at the store and when I showed her how much darker the color was than the lid, she was appalled. Bad lip liner!

That said, I bought the Coral Crush lipstick, and really like it!

I exchanged that for the lip liner, and then since the only pink lip liner we could find in the entire store was the Jordana Baby Dreams and it was on sale for 50 cents, I bought that. I only paid 53 cents total.

I’m very glad that Walgreens will let you return things, even though I very rarely do it.

The Baby Dreams is a pink I can work with and the texture seems ok. Much better than the retractable Orange Marmalade Jordana lip liner I had a while ago.
