Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick

Maybelline New York came out with a new line of lipsticks in 48 different shades, called Colorsensational, which fall in the color ranges of pinks, reds, naturals and plums. Here are some images I cropped from there interactive site. I hope it’s OK to use.

On the interactive site, you choose your poison, in this case, you choose your shade. After that you choose your skin tone and then you describe your tastes by the items they have you pick from. There is a rose, a black dress, stilettos, sunglasses and other objects (I can’t remember them all). This just basically narrows down the lipstick shades so there is less to choose from because there are so many shades to choose from.

Maybelline Clearance Haul from Target

So, I went through the makeup clearance bin at Target yesterday to look through the last of the products that were left and I ended up picking up all Maybelline products.  I got each item for under 2 bucks each so hey, no worries.

I picked up a Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Cream Foundation w/ SPF 18 in Tan / Dark 1 for $1.98.  I have never read any reviews on this foundation and I know nothing about it, but all I know is that I need more coverage and my Bare Escentuals Foundation is just not doing it for me anymore.  I could go and pick up Bisque, but I don’t feel like spending the money on it so I’ll give this foundation a try and HOPE it won’t break me out as I’m having issues with breaking out this season.

Second, I picked up a Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer with Micro-Minerals in Latte / Dark0-3 for $1.83 and I’m hoping it’s in the right shade.  Again, I never read any reviews on this concealer and I know nothing about it.  I’ll give a try and we’ll see what happens!

Third, I picked up a Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish in Spiced Cider (245), which looks like a peachy taupe color, for $.87.  This color will go good on my toe nails.

Lastly, I picked up two Maybelline Lip Polish in Sweet Blush (200) for $1.24 each.  It looks like a diced, creamy peach (the fruit) when you look inside the packaging.  The gloss is peachy with a nice gold undertone sheen in it with bits of pink swirl in it.  It comes out light and sheeny on my lips, but for me, it will make a good top coat over a lipstick or a tinted lip moisturizer.

Oh and I picked up a bottle of nail polish remover because I spilled my other bottle empty last week.  It was a new bottle too.  Bleh!  Had to include it in my haul because it is a part of beauty.

That’s it!

A Beauty Supply Haul

I love beauty supply stores so when I saw one while walking around with my hubby and daughter at Columbus Farmers Market yesterday I had to go in.  It is a wholesale store call J&M so everything in there was priced cheap.  My total order came to $20. so that was good.

J&M had  lots and lots of CoverGirl, Maybelline, Victoria Secret, Jordana,  L’Oreal, Avon, The Body Shop, Physician’s Formula and Revlon makeup (there were more brands, but I can’t think of any more right now). They also had lots of makeup brushes and other tools.  They had nail polishes of a brand I never heard of and I cannot remember the name.

Earlier in the day I had watched GregoryGorgeous’ new Youtube video re: Skincare and he mentioned St. Ives (but he switched over to Cetaphil) but I grabbed a couple of products anyway because my breakouts are still going on since I switched over from Neutrogena to Clean & Clear.  So yeah, I grabbed St. Ives Elements Olive Scrub (which I tried out already and it left my skin so soft and feeling clean $2.99) and St. Ives Swiss Formula Firming Mask (that I also tried out today and it left my skin amazingly soft – $2.99).

I also grabbed a bottle of Johnson’s Extra Conditioning Baby Shampoo for my brushes ($1.99), a random bottle of top coat for my nails because I needed one ($1.00),  L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Liquid Liner in Carbon Black ($1.99), Secret Deodorant ($2.00) and two Maybelline Unstoppable liners in Espresso and in Onyx.  Hubby picked up some Colgate toothbruhes and something else…I can’t remember.  Here is my beauty supply haul pic.
