~Swatches + Review~ Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Face Illuminator....

Hey Everyone!!

Thanks to Crystalis007 on You Tube, I got hipped to Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Face Illuminator. She compared it her favorite NARS liquid highlighter, so you know I was VERY interested. I love a good, inexpensive alternative or the favorite beauty word of the day..."dupe".:)

I found Dream Sun on a display at a Rite Aid. I believe that it is a limited edition product. The display only had two of these product.

The product is more of a gel than a lotion. So when it goes on the skin, you have some time to adjust and blend, then its set in the skin.  Dream Sun, on my skin, is a warm, champagne gold. 

I applied Dream Sun with a mini stippling brush I ordered from Crown Brush a while back. I don't have much upper cheek bone space, so this brush is great for applying Dream Sun.

Overall....

Dream Sun is a AWESOME product. Its really easy to look over, because its Maybelline and drugstore and it's a liquid highlighter. Most oily skin girls steer away from the liquid highlighters! lol! However, this product is more of a gel, it stays put on the skin and its goes perfectly more blushes, other bronzers and contour powders. If I find another display of these, I'm grabbing a back up!!!

~Swatches~ Maybelline LE Vivids Lipstick in Pop Of Cherry and Infra-Red.....

Hey Everyone!!

What you seeing is correct. The beloved, chased after, hauled 2013 Maybelline MBFW Vivids lipsticks were found by moi at a Rite-Aid for discounted 50% off. This a very VERY recent collection, no more than two months old, sitting in a clearance bin. Tons of other stuff was in those bins too:new Essie polish strips, new N.Y.C. Spring collection polish.....

That was one of the craziest discounted makeup situations I've ever witnessed. 

 I picked up Pop of Cherry and Infra-Red. I didn't even think twice about buying these when they were full price because I have a zillion red lipsticks and $7 for a drugstore lipstick is STEEP.

 I KNOW. They look exactly alike! LOL! I tried my best to capture the differences in the two but my camera wouldn't capture it correctly. ( Pop of Cherry, top, Infra-Red , bottom)

You can sort of see that Pop of Cherry(left) is slightly lighter than Infra-Red( right). I will say, that both shades are bright and glossy!!!
