This is the lovely view from my kitchen window this morning.... UGH! It has been snowing for a few days straight now, and that only added a layer to what was already underneath.... It seems to have finally stopped though. I am not looking forward to getting to work today.
Anyways, on to makeup stuff. I went shopping the yesterday with my mom and got to do a little mini drugstore haul. I picked up a couple of necessary things, and a couple extras.
My main reason for needing to go to the drugstore was actually because I am almost out of foundation again. That's right, just a month after getting my Maybelline Fit Me Shine Free Foundation Stick it is almost completely gone!!! This is really disappointing since I loved the formula. I just have a hard time paying for something like that knowing it will only last that long. Has anyone else tried this and found the same thing happen? Am I just using too much? Anyways, I decided to go back to my old favourite, the Annabelle Skin True foundation. This stuff is amazing, and if you haven't tried it yet, a great affordable foundation. I will have a full review of it up soon. I got the lightest shade which is natural ivory. This also came with a trial bottle of their CC cream. I'm pretty excited to see how this performs compared to the foundation. I will also do a review of that once I try it.

The next thing I needed was some under eye concealer since my Rimmel concealer is running out. I decided to try the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer. I have heard some good things about this one. I got the shade Ivory. I will give you my thoughts once I try it!
Next I got some Duo Lash glue. I still haven't tried any of those eyelashes I got from Amazon and now I can! I decided on the one that dries black so I won't have to go over any eyeliner once I apply it.
Finally, I decided to get a Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick since they were all on sale for 50% off. I decided on the shade Violet Frenzy because another blogger, Aaliyah from
Shadow Liner Girl, had done such a great review on it and it looked gorgeous. This is a really pretty semi sheer berry shade. I love it! You can put a light layer on, or build it up for a super purple lip. It has a nice sheen to it without being shimmery and feels moisturizing on the lips. I don't own enough berry shades and this is a perfect addition to my lipstick collection.
Well, that's it for my little drugstore haul! It wasn't very big, but so far I'm pleased with everything I got. I also did an H&M haul that I am planning on posting soon, so look forward to that, along with some reviews on the products here!

I'll post a review ASAP!
DeleteMmmm. Violet frenzy looks like a great color. Seems almost a little time after all the blue though ;)
ReplyDeletehaha, that's what I was thinking while I bought it!
DeleteViolet Frenzy looks gorgeous! Also I feel sympathy for your snowy plight... I grew up in a very snowy area and after the (frequent) heavy snowfalls it would look like that. We had to dig tunnels in the snow so our tiny dog could go pee without suffocating, haha.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have to do that at my parents house when we had a little dog! We would stomp through the yard in boots making a path for him.
DeleteYay, you got violet frenzy!! I think I wore that shade almost everyday last week; I love it so much! And I have that duo glue too! I don't really know how I feel about it though since I'm pretty bad at applying false eyelashes. I'm pretty sure I'm the problem, not the glue lol
ReplyDeleteWell it looked so good in your post so I really wanted it! :)
