~Swatches + Review~ CoverGirl Queen Collection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Q810.....

Hey Everyone!!

My Wal-Mart has the new CoverGirl Queen Collection Jumbo Gloss Balm. I was more interesting in seeing the different in the Queen Collection balms and regular CoverGirl balms COLOR selection. Other than a couple heavy plums and bronzes in the Queen Collection, the colors are in the same family. *shrugs*

 I picked up only ONE( I had a coupon) which I have no idea of the name CoverGirl doesn't print the name on the gloss balms. The number is Q810. If I find out the name OR if you know the name, let me know in teh comments so I can update the post!!

 See? smh.

 This is Q810 with a couple a swipes to my lips. The consistency and pigmentation is no different from the CoverGirl one. I like this color though, great for everyday and putting it in your bag for touch ups.

Overall, I love this color and this balm, but I am so gloss stick/ balm stain/ jumbo color gloss'd OUT!!! OMG!! Everybody is doing the same thing with these balm sticks! There are a couple exceptions being some companies balm sticks are more moisturizing or more pigmented or have more longevity, but they are all dancing to the same beat. I will say, that the Queen Collection Gloss Balms will cater to women who like darker shades like plums, browns, bronzes, and dark reds. Pick up a couple if that's what you like!

~Swatches and First Impressions~ mark. Glimmer Shine Lip Gloss.....

Hey Everyone,

I got some new mark. goodies coming up this week to share with ya'll.:) First up is mark. Glimmer Shine Lipgloss.

~First Impressions( and review:))~

I found that Berry Shimmer and Nude Shimmer are completely sheer on me. They will probably work better on non- pigmented lips or lighter complexion shades. But the surprise was Pink Shimmer showed up on me really great, a light creamy pink that reminds me of MAC Creme Cup. The packaging is beautiful. I'm loving the thick slick tube with rose gold accents. I'm interested in seeing what the other colors look like swatched and worn.

Disclosure: These products were sent to me for review. I was not paid for this post and all opinions are honest.

~Swatches + Review~ Fergie For Wet N' Wild Lipstick in V.I.Pink and Old School Glam.....

Hello!

I absolutely loved my last two Fergie lippie purchases in  Bebot Love and Ferguson Crest Cabernet ( Post on those HERE!!) so much and I wanted some other colors. I picked up V.I.Pink and Old School Glam.

 V.I.Pink is a icy blue based pink. It has a bit of shimmer to it but not enough to scare me away.:) Old School Glam is a reddish blue bright pink. I thought it was just red until I put it on and took pictures. This girl is pink!!

Like, I said in my previous post on these Fergie lipsticks, they are the crown jewel of the collection. The colors might be a little "done" but the quality and packaging make up for it. The texture is soft and smooth, and they glide on really nice. I know a lot of people were diving over those eyeshadows ( which miss the mark in my opinion, they could have been a really hit if the quality was better) but the Fergie lipsticks stole the show!

~Swatches + Review~ CoverGirl Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation in Q830/ Soft Copper.....

Hey Everyone!!

I got my hands on Cover Girl Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation in Q830/Soft Copper about two weeks ago. I decided to go with the Queen Collection formula of this Cover Girl foundation because the shades of the Queen Collection match me better. I've been using Soft Copper in all of their foundations for years.

 Tip for choosing drugstore foundations: Hold the bottle near your chin line to find the closest shade possible and check it in a mirror or your phone. If it doesn't match, TAKE IT BACK. That's what return policies are for and what drugstore foundations are running lately ( This one was $9.29), return that girl if she doesn't match to your specifications.

 Soft Copper actually matches the back of my hand which for the winter is the same color as my face.:)

~Review~

First, I will say that the shade match is perfect!! Spot on match. Second, I wasn't oily ALL DAY. For real, when I first noticed this, I was blown away! I got little "sheeny" after couple of hours, but nothing like the oil pools I normally experience. I love the pump action that the foundation is in. I wish more companies would do that, even some of the higher end brands. The only negative I will say it that the foundation is a light to medium coverage. I couldn't get it to build to full, which I what I prefer.  I'm interested in seeing how this foundation will work in the summer. Maybe I'll do an update!!!



Have you seen or do own the the new Cover Girl All Day Flawless Foundation? The beauty girls on the internet are loving it, well at least on my twitter timeline. LOL! Let me know!

~Swatches + First Impressions~ Maybelline Vivids Lipcolors.....

Hey Everyone!!

I finally spotted and got my hands on some of the new Maybelline Vivids. I spotted them a couple weeks back in Spartanburg but didn't get any. I was so mad when I got back home, however my hometown Walmart finally got them. They are in the regular display wall so I almost overlooked them!! It pays to check the regular display. lol!

 I only got two colors, Vivid Rose and Brazen Berry.

~My Thoughts~

I was super excited to find these since everyone on the blogs,You Tube and Instagram are raving over them. The price is pretty reasonable, My Walmart had them at $5.84, so I'm going back for some other colors. I was underwhelmed by Brazen Berry, which reminds me of  Revlon Berry Haute. Berry Haute is a bit lighter but they in the same lavender family. I thought Brazen Berry would be brighter.

Vivid Rose is SICK. The color is just gorgeous!! Such a rare, vibrant  find in drugstore makeup. Definitely, a "Vivid" color.

Have you picked up any of the Maybelline Vivids? If so, what colors? Let me know in the comments!!
