Mini Revlon and Ardell Haul

Hey everyone! Guess what? I went and bought myself another foundation even though we all know that I don't need anymore since I still have like 4 backups of my favorite Almay Clear Complexion foundation. Plus I have other foundations in my collection that definitely need some love as well. But I really couldn't help it since all the drugstore brands have been coming out with new foundations. Its just so hard to hear about a new foundation and not be able to give it a try. LOL

If you don't know what foundation I am talking about, it is the Revlon ColorStay Whipped Foundation. I bought mines in the shade 250 Medium Beige and I just hope and pray that it will match my skin. Its just so darn hard to figure out the shades with their glass packaging. I was looking at all the shades that my store had and they all freaking looked the same! From th lightest to the darkest shade, I really couldn't tell that much of a difference. I couldn't even tell if it was yellow toned or even pink toned. It was just too hard so I went with a color that I think I could work with if it didn't truly match. If it was too light, I could just use a bronzer to darken it up and if it was too light, then I could use a light foundation powder to set it. Once I give this a try, I will definitely do a post. I will probably do a first impression review post soon, so definitely expect one. Its definitely on my to do list.

Since Revlon was BOGO 50% off, I decided to get another Revlon product because if I had just bought one product that would have been kind of a waste of a sale. LOL I actually wanted to pick up the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stains but couldn't find any at my store, which is weird. I think either they ran out and haven't stocked or they were just placed somewhere in the store that I didn't know about. IDK but I will find them! Since I couldn't find what I really wanted, I decided to just go with a blush because I love my blushes! I have been wanting to try out the new blushes from Revlon so I decided to go with the Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush "100 Pinched". I actually wanted a pink shade but my store didn't have it. Gosh, IDK why I even went to this one store. LOL I haven't given this a try yet but I have heard great reviews on it! If you have given it a try, definitely let me know how you feel about it!

While I was on my way to the cashier, I noticed that some of the lashes were on sale so I decided to take a look. It wasn't that much of a sale but I have always wanted to try out some demi lashes by Ardell since Michele1218 always raves about these Ardell demi lashes. I couldn't remember which ones that she uses but I bought two pairs of the Ardell Fashion Lashes "120 Demi". These look gorgeous and I can't wait to give them a try!

So that is all that I bought during this mini haul. I know it isn't much but I have really been trying on not hauling as much and trying to save up money so I can buy some new storage for my makeup collection. Plus I am just really tired of how my room looks right now. Plus I just want some new storage to store everything in. If you guys have any ideas on any storage, definitelty let me know below!

QUESTIONS:
Have you tried the new Revlon ColorStay Whipped foundation yet?
Have you tried any of these products?
What kind of storage do you think I should get?

Review/Swatches: Maybelline EyeStudio Cream Shadows "05 Flash Of Forest"

Hey everyone! I'm back with another review! I just have so many pictures on my computer right now that I definitely need to start posting up. Its so crazy that my computer is actually starting to lag. LOL I just have a bunch of hauls and reviews to post up that I am going to try to post everything (well almost everything) for the month of September but we are already hitting up the middle of the month so we will definitely see how that will work out.

Okay onto the actual review! For today, I am going to be reviewing a Maybelline product, which is the Maybelline EyeStudio Cream Shadows "05 Flash Of Forest". I don't remember which drugstore I bought this from but you can buy these at CVS, Walgreens, Target, RiteAid, Walmart, Ulta, and any other store that sells Maybelline products. Prices vary by the store. I think this was one of the very first Maybelline cream shadows that I had ever bought. My first cream shadows were from the $1 line from ELF and I was so in love that I just had to expand my cream shadow collection. So far, my cream shadow collection now includes the following brands: ELF, Maybelline, Revlon, Benefit, WnW, and Almay.

PACKAGING:
This comes in a sturdy plastic packaging. The top is clear so you can actually see the shadows and you would just flip the top open. I actually like the packaging because I feel that it won't break or fall apart if I throw it around in my purse or if it accidently falls on the floor. All three shadows come in their own pan, which is great because you wouldn't have to worry about the colors actually getting mixed or melting together.

PIGMENTATION:
These shadows are very pigmented. As you can see in my pictures, the swatches on my fingers were all done with one heavy swipe. They are very silky and soft to the touch. These are easy to blend and can be used with either your fingers and/or makeup brushes. I personally like using my fingers because I feel like cream shadows apply easier with the warmth of the fingers. These almost have the same pigmentation as the Maybelline Color Tattoos IMO but I can't really test that theory since I only have one Maybelline Color Tattoo. I waa going to buy more but I felt like I didn't need to since I already have a bunch of Maybelline EyeStudio cream shadows in my collection.

LASTING POWER:
For me, these last all day on my lids without any fading and/or creasing. I have monolids but I do have a semi-crease (AKA line) on my lids. IDK if its because my lids are heavy or something so the skin just lags over and turned into a "crease" but to me, its more of a deep wrinkle than anything else. Lets just say that my lids are weird looking. LOL My lids aren't oily as well so most typical cream shadows tend to last all day on my lids.

SCENT:
These cream shadows don't have any scent to them, which is great especially for those with sensitive eyes.

All-in-all, I really like the Maybelline EyeStudio Cream Shadows "05 Flash Of Forest". Its a great trio of cream shadows that you can wear alone or all together for a pretty eye look. For me, I would usually wear all three together with the first shadow as my highlight and browbone color. Then I would apply the green shadow all over the lid and the brown into my crease and darken up for the outer corners of my eyes. Its a gorgeous eye look that I feel is great to wear during the summer!

Physicians Formula & Sally Hansen Haul

Hey everyone! Yes I did it again! I decided to buy a back-up of an item before I even hit pan on it. LOL Can you guys guess which item it was that I bought a back-up of? I wasn't going to buy it because I already had a back-up of it but my mom saw the eye look that I created only using this and so she wanted me go out and buy her one. I decided to just give her my back-up and buy another one for myself later on so she didn't have to wait. If you haven't guessed already, the item that I am talking about is the Physicians Formula Matte Eye Shadow Quad "Canyon Classics". This is the only quad that I have that is full of matte shadows in my collection. I used to love shimmer and frosty shadows all the way but now since trying this quad out, I am been loving mattes and plan to expand my makeup collection with more matte shadows.I also recently did a review with swatches on this matte eye shadow quad, that you can CLICK HERE to check out. I will also have the link at the end of the post as well.

I also broke my no nail polish buy during this haul. I didn't mean too but I spotted two that were still on clearance and I had coupons for them. Is that a good enough excuse? LOL I only paid like $0.75 plus tax for each. I only bought two because these were the only ones that I could find. The nail polishes that I bought are Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Polish "12 Hue" and "14 Spectrum". Spectrum is a gorgeous shimmery blue polish with a pruple duochrome. Hue is shimmery yellow that looks like it might be on the sheer side.

I also had a $3 coupon off the PF lip gloss so I decided to buy the Physicians Formula pH MatchMaker pH Powered Lip Gloss "Light Pink". I haven't tried this but I really like the concept of it. Its a lip gloss that "instantly matches you in 60 seconds" meaning that it "reacts to light and your pH for your perfect lip color." Plus what I really like about it is that the cap actually llights up when your push the button. I think the light is great because you can use it at night whenever you need to re-apply your gloss. Like I said, I haven't tried this yet but hopefully the shade actually shows up on my lips.

Since I was buying the Physicians Formula pH MatchMaker pH Powered Lip Gloss "Light Pink", I decided to get the Physicians Formula pH MatchMaker pH Powered Blush "Natural" as well. I wanted to get the matching set. LOL Plus I had one before and I really like how the compact looks with the light on. For instance, this compact lights up as well but it lights up on the sides of the mirror. This blush has the same concept as the lip gloss where it instantly matches in 60 seconds by reacting to the light and the pH for "your perfect blushing glow." If you would like to see pictures of this compact with swatches, definitely let me know!

While walking down the aisles, I noticed that they still had one more of the Physicians Formula Hydrating Eye Cream. I wasn't going to get this but the CVS red box printed me out a $5 off any PF skincare so I decided to get this since it was still on clearance. I haven't given this a try yet and I don't think I will. I will probably just end up giving it to my mom because she tends to get dry about her eyes. I do have the Ulta-Hydrating Day & Night Cream, so if you would like to see a review on it, definitely let me know. I will probably be putting up the review in a c ouple weeks. I just want to test the cream for a couple more days. On the packaging, it sys that you will "see a 52% increase in skin hydration in 2 weeks". If you have tried this before, definitely let me know if that claim is true.

So that is all for my haul! Yay! I didn't do too much damage because I had coupons and some of them were either on sale or on clearance. If you would like to see a review on any of these products, let me know below! I also have a review with swatches on the PF matte quad if you would like to check that out. The link is listed below. Plus if you have tried any of these products as well, let me know how they worked out for you. I love hearing other peoples' opinions!

QUESTIONS:
Have you tried any of the products featured in this haul?
