Pink/Peach Haul

Spring is finally, finally here, thank God.  I don't think I could've handled the cold for much longer.  So in celebration of the warm weather and freshly tanned skin, I picked up a few pinky/peachy beauty products for Spring.

L to R: (Top Row) Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoos in Inked in Pink, MAC Sheertone Blush in Peaches, Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipstick in Pink Pop, Revlon Just Bitten Lacquer Balm in Demure, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Snow Pink.

Here's Peaches:

I've been eyeing up this blush for a long time!  It's a lovely sheer matte peach, giving a soft, subtle glow.  MAC Blush in Peaches, $21, maccosmetics.com.

This is just a soft pinky-nude shimmery gloss that goes perfectly over a nude lip for a bit of shine!  Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Snow Pink, $5.99, Target.

This is such an adorable Barbie pink lipstick.  Goes on smoothly, has a soft touch of shine. It's just so adorable for spring and summer.  Maybelline always has the best lipsticks at the drugstore!  Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in Pink Pop, $7.49, Ulta.

These little guys are all over the beauty blogs.  Revlon Color Burst Just Bitten Lacquer Balms!  I had my eye on these for a little while, and being that Ulta just had a buy one get one sale going on last week, I thought I should give it a go.  It was adorable.  So cute for everyday!  Revlon Color Burst Just Bitten Lacquer Balm in Demure, $8.99, Ulta.

If you've read my past blogs, you know I'm a massive fan of the Maybelline Color Tattoos.  The cream eyeshadows work as a base, a highlight, and even work very well on their own.  This soft, shimmery pink is my second-favorite inner corner highlight (next to Urban Decay's Dust!) and works incredibly well as a chic pop of color on the lid.  These are great for anyone wanting to try out brightly colored lids but aren't sure where to start.  All around great eyeshadows! Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in Inked in Pink, $6.99, Ulta.

That's all for my little pink/peach haul!  Check back in for a MAC Peaches Blush review soon.  Until then,

xxoo,

Ulta/Target Spring Haul

This past week, I stopped into Ulta Beauty and Target and picked up a few things, so I thought I'd post them all in a March/April Spring haul!

Left to Right: Nyx Butter Gloss in Raspberry Tart, it's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product, CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in 325- Black Diamond, eos Lip Balm in Honeysuckle and Tangerine, realTechniques Expert Face Brush, Nyx Lipliner in Pinky, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius Kit in Medium Brown.

First up: Anastasia Brow Genius Kit.

Top Photo: Brow Genius Kit in packaging.

Bottom Photo: Anastasia Brow Wiz Loose Powder, Brow Genius Clear Waterproofing Gel, Applicator Brush.

I have mentioned this product in my eyebrow tutorial blog post before, and a full review and tutorial are coming!  But I must talk about this, because it is the single best brow kit I've ever used.  I've heard a lot of hype about this kit, and I am so happy I bought into it.  Like I said, a full review and tutorial is coming because I just can't get enough of this!  Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius Kit in Medium Brown, $24, Ulta.

Next: eos Lip Balms

Left to Right: Honeysuckle, Tangerine

I'm definitely on the eos bandwagon at this point.  I've already bought the Raspberry Pomegranate and Summer Fruit flavors in the past, and when I saw there were new (at least new to me) scents, I had to jump on them.  They're deeply moisturizing and smell amazing!  A great buy.  Tangerine, $3.29, evolutionofsmooth.com. Honeysuckle, $2.99, Target Stores.

Nyx Lipliner:

Nyx Lipliner in Pinky.

I've been in desperate need of a lipliner to match my MAC Candy-Yum-Yum lipstick since I bought, and this is the perfect match!  A phenomenal deal, too.  All the Nyx products at Ulta this week were buy one get one 50% off, so I snagged this baby pretty quickly.  Nyx Lipliner in Pinky, $3.49, Ulta.

Nyx Butter Gloss:

Nyx Butter Gloss in Raspberry Tart.

This gloss is my ultimate favorite.  Smooth, creamy, long-wearing, and opaque, it comes in a huge range of colors that are universally flattering.  It's so easy to wear and I just can't get enough of it.  I also own this gloss in Apple Strudel, a pretty, soft coral, and I just love it.  Nyx Butter Gloss, $4.99, Ulta.

RealTechniques Brush:

RealTechniques Expert Face Brush

I've heard a lot of fantastic reviews about these brushes, and I figured since my old face brush was getting rather old and worn down, it was time to try a new one.  I came across this brush in Ulta and it just looked too good to resist.  It's got a beautiful, slim design and is very easy to use, with soft bristles and a sleek handle.  So far, I really like how this brush applies my foundation.  Quite happy I picked it up!  RealTechniques Expert Face Brush, $8.99, Ulta.

Covergirl Nail Gloss:

Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in 325 Black Diamond.

Who doesn't need a good black nail polish in their repertoire?  It's a staple for a sharp, edgy look.  Clean lines and dark colors are always chic, and this polish is just a perfect accent to any outfit.  I bought this in the store when it was on sale for only $1.41.  I absolutely couldn't pass it up!  It's also got great color payoff and a high gloss finish, and in the photo, I hadn't even used a top coat.  Great buy!   Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in 325 Black Diamond, $3.84, Target.

it's a 10:

it's a 10 miracle leave-in product.

I got this small sample as a free gift at Ulta, and the bottle tells me it will heal all my hair concerns.  We'll see how it goes!  4.0 oz it's a 10 miracle leave-in product, $18, Ulta.

Target T-Shirt Dress:

Mossimo Junior's T-Shirt Dress in Black, size XS.

I purchased this adorable staple piece at Target.  It's a super-soft cotton tee dress, and it's just the right amount of comfortable and flowy for Spring and Summer.  Easy to dress up with heels and pearls or down with flat boots and a sweater.  A great staple black dress!  Mossimo Junior's T-Shirt Dress in Black, size XS, $19.99, Target.

That's it for my haul!  Expect a Brow Genius tutorial coming soon! 

Until then,

xxoo,
