Review: Almay Pure Blends Eye Shadow and Lip Gloss....

I picked up all the Almay Pure Blends Eye Shadows and one Almay Pure Blends Lip Gloss during my 1st CVS Clearance run.( btw, I went back today to see if the Maybelline 50% stuff had been marked down some more...nada)

The eye shadow colors: Cocoa, Steel, Lavender, Sage, and Oatmeal and the lip gloss is Nude.

I'll admit, I ignored these when they first came out thinking they were not brown girl friendly...

Sometime doubt will bite you in the ass...lol
I love them:) Seriously, they are soft textured and beautiful on my skin. They blend well and give just enough color for a natural look...

In today's look, I'm wearing Sage on the lid, Cocoa in the crease, and oatmeal blended from the crease up to the brow...

***Excuse the lip gloss on my teeth. I didn't even see it til I downloaded the photos!***

The lip gloss, however, was not as exciting. The initial application was oily, but I like it has no taste and practically no smell. The nude is really pretty paired up with my faithful MAC Cork liner.

If your CVS has any Almay Pure Blends eye shadows left ( at 75%) grab them up.:)

Super Rave!: Maybelline Mineral Power Powder Foundation and Blush...

Even though I went into Divas On Main to scope out new Tyler Candles and other goodies, I didn't pick up what I really needed and that was Bare Escentuals Foundation. I just wasn't going to peel off the dollars for it. It's cheaper just to buy a brand new starter kit. I went to CVS after work on Thursday and picked up Maybelline Mineral Power Powder Foundation in Tan/Dark 1 and got the Maybelline Mineral Power Blush in Soft Plum for free according the week's deal.

The foundation is perfect match. It work just like B.E.'s although they can chuck that little cheap kabuki brush. I just used my Tarte Kabuki Brush or my B.E. one.Good for the skin and good for my pockets. Can I get a Amen?

The blush is just as great on me. I love it. I've been wearing both for the last three days with no problems of fading or skin issues. Now I want the Maybelline Mineral Power Finishing Veil Bronzing Powder to try next.:)
