ELF eye shadow palette

100 colors of matte and shimmery eye shadows!
originally $10 but purchased at target for $7!
I went to target a couple days ago and they lowered the price again to $5!
Perfect eye shadow palette for people experimenting with makeup.

For the price, I really like this palette.  It has all the colors you need and even has a variety of matte and shimmery shadows.  I've grabbed for this almost everyday.  It's also very thin, so you can take it with you when traveling.  Honestly, you really can't go wrong with $5!

Urban Outfitter's sale

Price was $69 reduced to $29.99 and then another 50% off so I got it for $15!

It's a wool like material sweater that is long enough to cover my bum. I paired it with black leggings. I love it because it gives a cozy-winter feel.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

The Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick
First look: The packaging is very simple. Black with gold and had Revlon written across.

Price: 7.99 but make sure you use coupons for each and also look for deals in CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target. They usually have buy one get one half off or buy one get one free. With deals like that, you can use 1 coupon per product! (so 2 coupons total!).  I actually purchased both of these for a buck and some change because of the crazy 75% off deal at CVS!

The 2 colors I got were were Wink For Pink #616 and Just Enough Buff #613.  I bought the #616 Wink For Pink about a month or so and Just Enough Buff just a couple weeks ago and these two lipsticks are my go to lipsticks everyday! I actually choose these over my Mac lipsticks because they are not overpowering with color and is VERY moisturous for my lips. I don't even need to put any chapstick on when I apply these suckers!  I especially like the Wink For Pink for an everyday look because it is a "my lips but better" color for me.
I was really surprised with these lipsticks because I have tried the Revlon Colorburst lipsticks and Revlon Matte lipstick in Nude Attitude and wasn't too happy about it.  The Revlon Colorburst lipsticks are overall just alright.. Doesn't give me any reason to choose that over my other lipsticks..and the Revlon Matte lipstick REALLY dried out my lips and made it crack like crazy. I'm not sure if it was the color I chose for the Matte lipstick but I looked like a dead person! Haha! After that, I was really hesitant into purchasing another Revlon lipstick however, the Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks really did the job and made me super happy! DEFINITELY will be purchasing again!

IPKN cleansing foam and mini lipgloss

I received this package as a Christmas gift from work. I haven't tried the face wash yet but I must say that the lipglosses are absolutely fabulous. It has a long lasting staying power and the colors are vibrant.  I do have to say that they have a bit of a perfumey scent and taste which I don't mind but I know some people hate that about lip products.
IPKN is a Korean brand and can be purchased in most Korean cosmetic stores.

Happy 2012, everyone!

Happy new years! Hope everybody is enjoying their first day of 2012 and spent their last day of 2011 with the loved ones. I wanted to have my first review blogged for a fresh beginning of a new year. So, here it goes!

Maybelline's Baby Lips!

from left to right:
Pink punch, Quenched, Grape vine, Peppermint

I have yet to try 2 more of these babies. (Peach & Cherry)
As you can tell from the swatches, these are tinted lip balms so they are not very pigmented. Personally I like the peppermint baby lips the best. The pink punch and grape vine do not look very good with my lips but remember that it will look different on everybody's lips.  The baby lips contain an SPF 20 and are very moisterizing.  I like to carry these in my book bags and purses because I do not need a mirror to apply them.  I've heard many good reviews of the peach one so I'm eager to purchase and try that one out.
If you want a good deal on these, definately look for the b1g1 free or b1g1 half off prices..but my favorite deals for the baby lips are at Target.  Target retails for the Baby Lips at $2.99 a piece but if you go on their website and click the beauty section on the left, there are $2 off coupons for any Maybelline lip products, so you can get one of these bad boys for only .99! I'm not sure if that coupon is still available but make sure to check it out frequently because Target puts up these coupons often.
