MakeUp Haul & Lippy Reviews

Here are some things that I purchased at CVS and Rite Aid. Rite Aid was having a buy one, get one half off for Wet n Wildcosmetics so I decided to try out their new lipsticks since I've heard good things about them. I also got a new Revlon Mineralizing Powder and Wet n Wild bronzer. I really like the Revlon mineralizing powders, I already have one in "Suntan Matte" and I love that they add a nice subtle glow to your face sine they have a small hint of shimmer. I like to set my makeup with it but I've been looking for another powder to set my makeup with for a matte look. I'm open to any suggestions you ladies might have.

And now the reviews..I did them by brand.

"Ravin Raisin", "Just Peachy" & "Bare It All" by Wet n WIld:

pros: goes on smooth, good color payoff, long-lasting

cons: can feel a little dry but this is easily fixed by using a lip balm before applying the lipstick, didn't like the fact that lipstick doesn't go all the way down in the tube

"Blooming Lilacs" by Brucci

pros: true to color, creamy

cons:  fades quickly

"Vintage Pink" by Rimmel

pros: application is super smooth, cute packaging, lipstick goes all the way down in the tube so there's no chance of it getting smushed lol, long lasting, nice scent

cons: none so far

"Berry Haute" by Revlon

pros: smooth application, very creamy, pakaging looks high-end, great pigmentation, long lasting

cons: none so far

I finally made a watermark for my photos that I can use regularly. I want to thank PiinkCupcakez for all her help. She gave me the steps via Twitter which was really nice of her. Isn't it great how everyone helps one another?
