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


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


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. :(

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)
