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. :(

The Smouldering Eye Palette by Ciate London and Olivia Palermo: Swatches, Photos, and Quick Review

I purchased this product during the VIB Rouge Sale and I absolutely love it; So,I'm gonna keep this review short and sweet with a simple pros and cons list!

PROS

• The shadows are very pigmented and smooth- you can tell they are very good quality.
• The palette's packaging is very nice, durable and sophisticated.
• It is a great travel size palette. 
• There are many different versatile shades with different finishes. You have the warm reds and browns and cool blues and greys. You also have satins, mattes, and shimmers all in one small portable palette. I LOVE IT!!!

CONS

• Price is a bit steep at $39
• It doesn't come with any kind of brush. I like it when my palettes come with brushes so I dont have to remember to pack one.
• It can be hard to open; but, that can also be a good thing because you don't one it coming open in your bag.

Swatches

I took one photo with the flash to show how pretty and shimmery some of the eyeshadows are. 

The photo in natural light is more true to their color.
