~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.

Wearing Vivid Rose....

~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!!

Hey Everyone,

I know that alot of people out there are looking for a fresh start in their journey to weight loss. I can't tell you the countless commercials  online challenges and new products I've seen in the last eight days!! I see it like this, whatever works for you is for you.:)

One the key tools in a weight loss journey is a scale. When I lost 20 lbs almost two years ago, I bought my first scale. It was your basic scale but it worked for me because I didn't weigh everyday. I chose one day out of the week, same time, same clothing to weigh myself.

 Weight Watchers® by Conair™ Digital Scale (Model WW58S) is awesome starter or even an upgrade scale to use as one of the tools on your weight loss journey. Here are some details on the scale:

The sleek, slim silver glass scale has an easy-to-read 1.5” digital display. The scale is 12.4” X 12.4” and has a 400-lb. capacity. The scale runs on one long-life AAA lithium battery (included) and has a 10-year warranty.

The Weight Watchers^® by Conair™ Digital Scale (Model WW58S) is available nationwide at stores such as Kmart and Kohls, as well as at www.conair-store.com for an average retail price of $29.99.

The scale also comes with motivational interchangeable stickers to fit your mood or inspire  you to keep going.

Here is my scale.

Directions and Stickers.

The stickers that I put on. I'm a huge fan of the classic TV show, Martin, so "You Go Girl" sticker is my favorite!!

~Overall~

The scale was easy to use and I felt like its the most accurate scale I've owned. The retail price is $29.99 and worth the investment. Its sleek and flat so it fit very well under my dresser, so well, I couldn't find it!

~Fresh Coat~ Revlon Girly.....

Hey Everyone!

Finally got around to wearing my highly sought after( by me:)) Revlon Girly. Thanks to Gia over at Nouveau Cheap, I found out that Girly is pretty sheer so I needed to base color if I wanted maximum opaqueness.

 I put one light and very streaky coat of Kleancolor Pastel Purple on before Girly.

Then two coats of Girly.

~Overall~

*deep sigh* I'm not digging it. I've been having to worst luck with Revlon's glitters and they keep pumping out really pretty colors and combinations and I keep buying them!!! LOL!

The glitter was really hard to spread. You get alot of the brush, so there's not alot of fishing for glitter. But it went on patchy and lumpy.

Welp.....On to the next color.:)

~Swatches + First Impressions~ CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Coral Twist....

Hey Everyone!!

The CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balms were not hard to find in this new year's drugstore product hunt. I've seen them at Rite Aid, Walgreens, Ulta and both of my CVS'. I only got ONE, Coral Twist, the same color Janelle Monae is wearing on the display ad.

 Coral Twist ( the name is only written on the protective plastic wrapper and NO WHERE on the product)

Swatch on the back of the hand.

Coral Twist on the lips.

~Thoughts~

I love this color. If it suited Janelle Monae, I figured it would suit me and it did! Great color payoff, smooth formula, much like the Revlon Gloss Stain sticks.

The price is BANANAS. Every where I saw them ( in my area), they were 8.99. O_O Nine dollars for a drugstore lip product? CoverGirl is feeling herself! I want some other colors, so I found a coupon in a magazine, then I have another coupon from this Sunday's past P&G brandsaver coupon book and I'll buy them at either Ulta with another $3.50 off $10 coupon or CVS for BeautyBucks.

Have you seen these? Picked any up? Any favorite colors or thoughts? Let me know!
