Makeup Update: New Budget Friendly Makeup Products I'm Dying To Try! + Video Update

So,

I haven't been to the makeup section of Target or Walmart in a bit.

Well, I went to Target tonight and there is a TON of new products. I didn't realize how many new makeup products had came out since the beginning of 2016!

Maybelline new products16  featuring eyebrow makeup

From what I saw, Maybelline has the most new products. It looks like they are really giving high end products a run for their money. I've never seen so many different palettes & primers in the target /Walmart/drugstore setting! I'm thoroughly impressed! I just hope the products are good quality.

I recently purchased one of Maybelline's new matte liquid lipsticks & I was very disappointed in the product. Usually their products are amazing, but that was a dud.

I'm holding out hope for the rest of the new products though!

Covergirl had some new products also, but what stood out to me is the new Tru Blend blushes and bronzers! I've seen these being used in a few youtube videos lately, and the color payoff looks beautiful. They have a baked marble formula, which, from my experience, always has a natural, flawless, luminous finish. Some of my favorite Laura Geller and Milani products have a baked marble formula.

Loreal 2016 by macy-dofash on Polyvore

Loreal has a new Lumi Cushion Foundation. I believe this is the first drugstore brand to introduce this Korean beauty trend at an affordable price point that is easily accessible. I'm probably the most excited about this product because I have wanted to try a cushion compact foundation for the longest time!

Lastly, I noticed that my local Target is now carrying the brand Essence! I'm not sure if this is news to anyone else, but my Target has never carried Essence before. I've never had any Essence products, so I'm very intrigued by that!

Also, my Valentines Day makeup video will not be up by Valentines day. I attempted to film the video again and my camera cut off mid-filming and I didn't notice till I was 90% done with my makeup. I was BEYOND FRUSTRATED! I honestly think I wasn't meant to film this Valentines day tutorial, because this is the second time some freak accident has occurred during the filming process. LOL

A video will be posted though, just not by Valentines Day. :(

Tiny Maybelline Haul & New Maybelline Products!

Tonight i picked up a few items from Target that i'm extreamly excited to try!! 

Apparently Maybelline has some new products out and they look awesome! I got a new mascara called the Lash Sensational Luscious mascara. I absolutly love the original Lash Sensational mascara, its my favorite mascara and the only one i've used for months now! I also purchased a new lip product called the Vivid Matte Liquid in the shade Pink Charge. I've really been into liquid lipsticks like the Sephora Cream Stains, so i'm hoping this is similar! Lastly, i got the Dream Lumi Concealer. Its not new, ive used it before and its a really nice brightening concealer. I was wanting to get more of the Age Rewind concealer, but sadly, they were out. 

Let me know if youve tried any of these products & what you think about them! 

I might post a review of them, so keep an eye out! 

& If i dont post till the new year,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 

Also i got this super shiny mermaid-esque wallet and i'm in love with it <3

Maybelline Master Conceal Review!!

Hello everyone!

Recently, Maybelline has come out with a ton of new products including this Master Conceal Camouflaging Concealer. I haven't heard too much about this product yet, but everything that I've heard, so far, has been positive. Therefore, I decided to pick this concealer up and try it out. 

Ive been using this concealer for a couple of weeks now and its awesome. I dont have a single bad thing to say about it, so I'm going to keep this review short and sweet by using some bullet points. 

• It is is medium-full coverage and is buildable without looking cakey.
• The packaging is easy to use and sanitary. It is just a squeezy tube.
• The price is great. Its around $7.99.
• There is not many shades in the range, but the fair shade is perfect for me.
• It lasts all day.
• It doesn't crease under my eyes.
• A little goes a LONG way. I use a tiny dot. (photo example below) 
• I wear it under my Laura Mercier mineral powder foundation and it looks flawless!

I used this much and it was still a tad too much!

Before and After!

In the before photo you can see some blemishes & dark circles. In the after photo you can see how amazingly this concealer covered those areas.

Final look!

This is how my foundation looks after applying the Maybelline concealer, Laura Mercier mineral foundation and some bronzing powder.  (I was only going to the grocery store, so I didnt bother with eye makeup lol)

First Impresion: Maybelline Color Tattoo Leather Eyeshadow in 90 Vintage Plum

I have been wanting to try these shadows for a while and now I finally have one! YAY! Anyways, I was drawn to this Vintage Plum color because it was purple but it was also very neutral. Its purple without being an overwhelmingly bright- in-your-face- purple. When I swatched it I noticed that it was significantly creamier than the original line of color tattoo shadows. It is also matte. I think all the shades in the leather range are matte, but I'm not completely sure. This shade looks almost brown in the picture, but it looks more plum colored in real life.

Maybelline Color Elixir Swatches + Review in #065 Caramel Infused & #085 Hibiscus Haven

I recently purchased two of the new Maybelline Color Elixir lip glosses. They are supposed to have the pigmentation of a lipstick, the comfort of a lip balm and the glossiness of a lip gloss.I purchased the shades #065 Caramel Infused (a darker neutral rosy beige) and #085 Hibiscus Haven (a bright magenta-y pink). I was very skeptical about these when they first came out. I'm always very skeptical of drugstore lip glosses since i hardly have any luck with them.My favorite lip glosses of all time are the Buxom lip glosses, but they are somewhat pricey. Prior to my Maybelline purchase, I had received a sample of a Buxom Lip Cream that I loved in the shade Mudslide. I had fully intended on purchasing the full size version of it which would be around $18. One day when i was at the store I noticed the Maybelline display with the Color Elixir lip glosses on it and saw the shade Caramel Infused. It looked IDENTICAL to the Buxom Lip Cream in Mudslide; So, I bought it and the shade Hibiscus Haven.

• MY THOUGHTS

I have to say these lip glosses are pretty amazing! They do exactly what they claim to do. They are very pigmented, creamy, moisturizing and long lasting. They are also not sticky at all. They are very inexpensive at about $6-$8 compared to the $18 I was willing to dish out for the Buxom Lip Cream. For me, Caramel Infused is the prefect nude shade. It doesn't wash me out like all the other nude shades I've tried. Hibiscus Haven is the perfect girly springtime pink. Its very bright, but not intimidating because you can put on a sheer layer or build it up to be more opaque. They really are perfect.

• DUPE ALERT!

Caramel Infused is a perfect dupe for the Buxom Mudslide lip cream.
