Haul: Maybelline New York & Black Radiance

Hey dolls!

So today while I was a Wal-Mart I was browsing their makeup section and I've been wanting to get the new Maybelline New York 24 hr Color Tattoo Eye Shadow. So to my luck they had them....I've been searching for this for like the past week at several drugstores in my area, and had no luck finding them. I even found them on Ulta.com but all the ones I wanted were sold out :(...so I was happy to see that the new Wal-Mart Supercenter in my area had them! And I was even more surprised that they were only $5.24! I've read reviews and watched videos on this product and the prices everyone quoted ranged from $6-$7.

I picked this two shades out today (below), based off swatches I had saw on loveblendnbeauty.com. I plan on getting a few more, but wanted to try these out first. For what I've read and saw all the gurus pretty much said that this product doesn't smudge, it's easy to blend and will actually stay on for 24 hours. GREAT DEAL!



The complete collection has 9 colors:

I've swatched this one my hand and I can't wait to try them on my eyes!

Also while I was in the Maybelline New York section I picked up the Fit Me Foundation with SPF18. I've been buying different drugstore foundations this week, to give them a try and to see which one works best for me and my skin type. I've heard mixed reviews on this product, but I wanted to make my own personal opinion. According to the website, this product contains no waxes or oils and its lightweight and gives a natural coverage. For the best results it says to apply smoothly and evenly to your face and blend with your fingertips. I AM SHADE 350 CARAMEL. I tried it on my hand and I love how it blends. While in the store I tried shade 350 (CARAMEL) and shade 355 (Coconut). I think I would get the best results if I combined the two, but I went with shade 350 because 355 had more red tones in it, and my skin has more yellow tones in it. I will do an update post about my experience with this product in the near future!

There are 18 shades in this collection.


BLACK RADIANCE
At stopped in Walgreens last night and picked my a foundation I figure I'd give a try. It was under $5. And its by Black Radiance. I chose to go with the shade in Rum Spice. The color matched perfect, although it is a tad darker then the Fit Me Foundation by Maybelline and the Cover Girl Clean Foundation I currently use. It blends very well and gives me a very even complexion. I think I will use this as a back up for when I just want to through on any foundation and go! LOL.
