Pink Picks: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Makeup

This foundation has been my new found love. 

I used to wear the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse

religiously but it honestly stopped impressing me.

I grew frustrated with the fact that it dried up and gave

me flaky looking patches in my skin.

 While at first use I thought 

it accentuated my dry spots it actually was my facial that why drying my face out.

I really like how natural this looks on. It blends easily without being cakey

or heavy on the face. 

What I really like about it it's smell and texture. It's thin enough

to blend easily but it doesn't become streaky or dries too quickly.

I have this in Nude and while it would normally be a bit 

on the darker side for me I have been fake tanning a little bit with a product

that will be coming up soon, so right now Nude is a really good fit for my skin tone.

I picked this up for 75% off at Rite Aid but it's normally around $13.00.

A good pick :)

Rimmel London: Glam'Eyes Trio

When I first saw the Rimmel London Glam'Eyes Trio in 740 Fever

I was in total awe of the colors. First off because for me it's the hardest thing ever

to find really pigmented purple shadows at the drugstore. 

(w/o Flash)

I really love how all three colors really compliment each other. The darker

mauve purple is so pretty paired with the light lavender. I like that

the sparkles are fine when applied to the face so I don't get much fall out.

The only cons I would have to saw is that the eyeshadow is a bit too

powdery for my taste. 

(w/flash to show sparkles)

I really do like this palette and while I think I have to 

use it more to be totally in love with it.

The package says it compliments green eyes rather well so

any green eyed girls should probably try this!

Overall I'd give it 3.5/5. Not so bad right?

I picked this up at Walgreens for $4.

PINK PICKS: Physicians Formula: Shimmer Strips Eye Candy Collection

While I haven't ever been much of a fan of Physicians Formula, I have lately been trying some of their products. This one in particular is a GREAT buy. Yes they're are a lot of browns.

All the colors are amazing and with the bright purple you can mix and match tons of looks. 

The shimmer and consistency of these shadows are just perfect!

I find that this really compliments brown eyes (which I have) and the colors

range from light gold to dark mahogany brown. 

9 colors and they all swatch to perfection!

(Swatched w/flash)

PS: It does come with an angled sponge applicator that I didn't picture!

Review: Rimmel London Stir It Up Cream Eyeshadow

When I first saw this eyeshadow I was so excited for it!

I chose the shade "As If", when first opened it has this very pretty powdery

shimmery top and as you keep swatching the texture gets creamier.

With that being said I was sadly disappointed with this product.

While I love the size of this eye shadow because it's practically the 

size of a blush and the color did not disappoint it was terrible in it's staying power.

This eye shadow goes on quite cakey as well and even when put over primer

it lasted only minutes before creasing.

The eyeshadow is really beautiful though it looks like 

a galaxy of blue, purple and flaky sparkles.

Swatched!

While these were my results this could possibly work for other people.

This was just my experience with it and I definitely won't be buying other colors.

Overall I'd give this a 5/10. 

Currently Loving: Revlon Colorburst in Carnation

Totally random post, I know but I just wanted to tell you all

of an AMAZING lipstick that I bought the other day. 

Revlon has always been my all time favorite drugstore brand and this color in particular has been amazing.

It's a dark pink with a bit of shimmer.

Pink Picks: Top 5 Fragrances

In no particular order:

1. VERY SEXY BY VICTORIA'S SECRET

I really love the sweet/spicy scent of Very Sexy. It reminds me a lot

of my high school days. The smell is different from what I'm used to (fruity/floral scents)

but I really do love this. 

2. LOVE KILLS SLOWLY BY ED HARDY

This is a fruity scent that is not stickly sweet. It's very fresh

and light. It does have a lot of vanilla/candy notes but it doesn't overpower the fruity notes in

the perfume.

3. TRIBUTE BY MARY KAY

A really pretty feminine scent. It almost borders on powdery but

it's toned down and not too heavy.

3. CIRCUS FANTASY BY BRITNEY SPEARS

I almost feel with Britney Spears' fragrances it's almost a love

or hate relationship. I know most people do love them and so do I!

Circus Fantasy by far being one of my favorites.

3. MINE AGAIN BY MARIAH CAREY

A recent buy but I have been using it everyday which means it's

added to my favorites. Sweet and girly.

Very young and almost smells like candy without feeling too young.
