Walgreens Beauty Haul March 2013

Yay yet another haul for you guys! After finals I thought I would go out and purchase more new products that I haven't tried and some are new in the drugstores as well.
I went out and got the Babylips which I heard were great, Wet n Wilds brow pencil, CoverGirl Mascaras Last Blast Fusion in the purple tube and Clump Crusher in the green tube.
I will be giving first impressions and reviews as well! Let me know what products you have tried and your comments of them below!

Haul Exchange

With the haul that I purchased at Walgreens I traded in my Revlon Colorstay Foundation and the L'oreal BB Cream. What I traded was for the Maybelline SuperStay Concealer and the L'oreal Magic Lumi Concealer/Corrector.
The L'oreal Magic Lumi Concealer/Corrector is $12.99 for 0.05oz in the shade in Fair and the Maybelline SuperStay Concealer for $7.99 0.18oz for Ivory.

The Maybelline SuperStay 24 hour Concealer has a odd smell sort of like paint. Smells weird. When you apply this concealer do not use a lot because a little can go a long way. It has a sponge applicator inside. I heard great things with the foundation so I got this. It claims to not transfer, natural-looking coverage, doesn't settle into creases or lines, conceals imperfections, flaws, under eye darkness and circles. Non comedogenic, hypoallergenic, oil-free, dermatologists tested, ophthalmologist tested and fragrance-free. So I do believe this lasts 24 hours a day, but it does get cakey but if you smooth over it it will be fine. Cream texture. I usually put this under my eye instead of my acne but I feel like it might irritate my skin more and cause a reaction. Pretty good concealer so far.

The L'oreal Magic Lumi Concealer/Corrector, I intended to get the Maybelline one I believe but got this by mistake. It comes in a pen version with a brush like applicator. Has a paint smell but not as strong as the Maybelline SuperStay. You twist the bottom of the pen applicator to get more product out to the brush on top. It is sheer and light coverage so I apply rhis over my foundation routine. This product is okay but I would not repurchase. Cream texture as well but more sheer and light coverage than the SuperStay.

Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow

Why hello there!

This product is just too good to be true! It is a big rave to other beauty fans! Today I will be reviewing the Wet n Wild's Coloricon Eyeshadows in the 8 color pan.The two that I purchased at Walgreens were $4.99 each and I got the 738 Petal Pusher and 738 Comfort Zone. You can find these mostly at all drugstores I believe except Target, I didn't find any there.

These colors are so pigmented for a drugstore brand but yet very glittery so if you into matte colors this might not be for you. Try the Wet n Wild Trios $2.99, they are less glittery or even the one shaded eyeshadows for $1.99. Majority of them are pretty glittery but there are some neutral shadows.

 

As you can tell from the pictures above they are pretty glittery and have 4 shades to choose for an eye color. They all have labels on them that say where to place each color, but of course you can mix and match as well. The darker colors are very pigmented and you would only need to tap a very small amount on your eyes to get the color payoff. With the lighter colors, you might have to go over it a couple times until you are satisfied but for me the Petal Pusher eyelid shades, were very sheen.

Here are the swatches on my hand accordingly to the order from above with Petal Pusher on the left and Comfort Zone to the right.

Here on top are the four shades on the right side of Comfort Zone

Here on top are the four shades on the left, the more neutral brown shades of Comfort Zone

On top are the left side lighter purple shades of Petal Pusher

& lastly here are the right shade colors of Petal Pusher.

The Wet n Wild eyeshadows are a great makeup starter kit and fairly good payoff for drugstores. They do not crease, and the color lasts for a long time, about 10 hours! Check them out and let me know how you like them!
