CVS Haul (Feat. Almay & Milani)

Hey everyone! Yes, I hauled some Almay products again! Actually don't be surprised if you actually see more Almay products again. I am actually running low on my Almay concealer so I have been buying back-ups of it. Its a good concealer that covers well and doesn't break me out or irritate any of my blemishes. This haul was actually bought a few weeks ago when both Almay and Milani products were BOGO 50% off. I actually thought that it was a good deal (for me) since I need another back-up of the concealer and because I have been wanting to try my hand at a couple of liquid eyeliners. Milani is pretty well known for their pigmented eyeliners so I knew that I had to try a couple. Plus since Almay was on sale as well, I thought I might as well give some of their liquid eyeliners a try as well.

WHAT I BOUGHT:
◊ Almay Clear Complexion Concealer "200 Light/Medium" (X2)
I really love this concealer. I already have one that I am almost running out of. I will probably be cutting the one that I am using right now in half to make sure I can get every last product out before I have to throw it away. This is actually the one concealer that doesn't irritate my pimples when I cover them up with this. It is a bit light coverage but thats fine. Its supposed to "help clear and prevent acne blemishes", according to the actual packaging because it contains 1.08% salicylic acid. This actually the one product (well this and the Almay Clear Complexion liquid foundation) that made me want to try out other Almay products.

◊ Almay Liquid Eyeliners "222 Brown" & "221 Black"
I actually never tried any of Almay liquid eyeliners before and haven't heard any reviews about them so I thought I might as well try them out for myself. Plus since I don't have much experience with liquid liners, I thought I might as well try ones with different applicators. This one claims to last up to 16 hours, hypoallergenic, and water-resistant. Plus it comes in a little inkwell "pot" where the tip is the actual brush applicator. To get product onto the applicator, you just shake the whole product to get fresh color each time. You can get two different types of lines with this applicator, you can lightly apply it for a fine line or use a firmer touch for a bolder line.

◊ Milani Ultrafine Liquid Eye Liner "01 Black Vinyl" & "05 Sparkling Turquoise"
I actually never tried these eyeliners out before but I have heard a couple of good things about them. I was just going to buy two colorful eyeliners to use in the summer as a pop of color for the eyes but decided to just get one color and one plain black for everyday use, in case I end up liking it. These eyeliners claim to be waterproof and provide intense color with an ultrafine felt-tip applicator. According to the packaging, they are "long-lasting and smudge-proof with ultrafine, felt-tip applicator for easy application." Hopefully the black eyeliner is matte but if it isn't, I can probably just set it with a matte eyeshadow for that matte eyeliner look. I actually can't wait to wear Sparkling Turquoise in the summer because it looks like it will be a gorgeous pop of color with neutral eye looks. So that is all that I bought at CVS! I actually can't wait to try out all the eyeliners.

So far, I have already tried the Almay liquid eyeliner in black and I am still trying to get used to applying it. If you would like to see a review on any of these products, let me know and when I give them a try, I will post one! Also please let me know if you have tried any of these products and what you thought about them. Plus if you have any recommendations for the perfect liquid eyeliner for beginners, please comment before but I would love to know!

Spotted: New Maybelline Products

Hey everyone! I just wanted to show everyone some new products from Maybelline. They just recently came out with their very first Maybelline MasterDuo 2-In-1 Glossy Liquid Liner. According to the display, you can use this liner to create both thin and thick lines with its dual tip. Plus its considered long-wearing. These actually sound pretty interesting. Plus I already have some of their EyeStudio Gel/Cream liners and I love those so much so I might have to try these out someday. They have these liners in black, purple, brown, green, and navy blue. If you seen this display, please let me know if you bought any of these liners and whether or not they are worth buying.

Also, if you are definitely a fan of the Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles, then you might actually want to try out the new Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot. While the Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles is meant to be used to cover up dark circles and fine lines for the under eye areas, the new Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot is meant to cover instantly and fade dark spots over time, according to the display. This is actually pretty interesting because I have always wanted to try the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles but I don't have any dark circles or fine lines under my eyes so I wouldn't really know if it was a good product or not but so many people have been raving about it. So I am pretty excited that Maybelline has finally come out with one that I can use for my dark spots and maybe acne spots. This is actually a concealer with a treatment. Plus it has Vitamin C in it, which is always good.

So far, there are five shades in this line but I am sure that Maybelline will expand the shades later on, especially if this product becomes popular like the original Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles. The following shades are:

• ◊ 210 Fair
• ◊ 215 Fair/Light
• ◊ 220 Light
• ◊ 225 Light/Medium
• ◊ 235 Medium/Deep

One thing that does get me is that I wish Maybelline had made it easier to see the actual color through the packaging like they did with the original but I guess they did that because they didn't want people getting confused and returning them if they bought the wrong concealer. I mean the white packaging does look nice but its so hard to tell which shade would best suit your skin tone and just going with the color on the paper packaging is hardly ever successful. Let me know what you guys think about the new packaging. Are you guys in the same boat as me and wish that they had made it more easier to see the actual shades inside the product? Would you guys be picking this up to try?

Also, a new collection, featuring the Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal was recently released. These are new metallic shades. All of these shades look gorgeous and I definitely see them as being wearable shades, depending on how you wear them on your eyes. There are two shades that I really want to add to my collection, if I decided to buy them but I will get to that later.
In this LE collection, there are five new shades:

• ◊ 55 Inked In Pink
• ◊ 60 Silver Strike
• ◊ 65 Gold Rush
• ◊ 70 Barely Branded
• ◊ 75 Electric Blue

In my opinion, I can definitely see both Inked In Pink and Barely Branded being the first two colors that will sell out fast. Both of those shades are definitely wearable and can be great for everyday looks. Those are definitely the two shades that I would love to add to my collection, if you guys haven't guessed it yet. Barely Branded reminds me of Barely Beige. I think it can be great for those who didn't get a chance to pick up Barely Beige because it was sold out so fast. I wouldn't say that they are exact dupes but they can be somewhat comparable. What do you think of the new LE shades from this collection? Do you plan on picking up any of these shades and if so, which ones?

Last but not least are the new Maybelline Color Whispers. Keep in mind, that I haven't tried these but I have heard that these are comparable to the Revlon Lip Butters, which I love. These actually look like they have similar packaging to the usual Maybelline ColorSensation lipsticks but remind me of the Revlon Lip Butters' packaging as well, especially when the cap is off. I actually spotted these at Walgreens for $7.99 each. If you know me, then you would know that I am going to wait for them to go on sale first and then buy some. I just hate paying full price for items unless I am going to need it (not want it but actually need it). There is a huge difference between the two but I admit, sometimes the line between them does get a bit blurred. LOL On the display, there were 20 new shades ranging from pinks, nudes, berries, and reds. I love how there are different varieties because there are a couple of light to dark shades. The different shades are (starting at the front):

• ◊ 05 Go Nude
• ◊ 10 Bare To Be Bold
• ◊ 15 Some ike It Taupe
• ◊ 20 Mocha Muse
• ◊ 25 Lust For Blush
• ◊ 30 Pin Up Peach
• ◊ 35 Coral Amibition
• ◊ 40 Orange Attitude
• ◊ 45 Who Wore It Red-Er
• ◊ 50 Cherry On Top
• ◊ 55 One Size Fits Pearl
• ◊ 60 Petal Rebel
• ◊ 65 Pink Possibilites
• ◊ 70 Faint For Fuchsia
• ◊ 75 Rose Of Attraction
• ◊ 80 Made-It Mauve
• ◊ 85 Berry Ready
• ◊ 90 Oh La Lilac
• ◊ 95 Mad For Magenta
• ◊ 100 A Plum Prospect

Whew! Now that is definitely a lot of shades! All of them look so gorgeous that I wish I had the money to just buy all of these! LOL I can't wait to see swatches of these and plus I would love to know if these are in any way, similar to the Revlon Lip Butters. If you guys have tried these already, please comment below letting me know what you think of them and if they are worth buying or not because they all look so gorgeous in the display and I am sure that they will look just as beautiful on my lips and in my collection. Have you seen the Maybelline Color Whisper yet? What shades caught your eyes?
