Review: NEW Katy Perry & COVERGIRL #instaGLAM Collection

I kept seeing this advertised in various magazines, so of course, I had to find it! It wasn't an easy process. I checked Ulta, Target, Walmart and finally found it at the second Walgreens I looked at! 

  

The collection, concealer, powder foundation, nail polish, lip crayons, makeup remover wipes and eye liners. I just wanted to try the foundation and concealer. 

The day I bought them they were on sale and they were buy one, get one half price. I believe I paid around $10 for a foundation and the concealer. 



The display was set up really well and it was easy to color match and find what I needed. The really cool thing is that the foundation and concealers correlate with each other, so that was really easy to match. 
The foundation wears really well! It lasts all day and it builds really easily, which is really nice because I like to wear a pretty full-coverage foundation. I really like the concealer. The color is a little bit light, so if I purchase this again I will go one shade lighter. It's working really well as a highlighter for me right now!  

Lush

Have you been to Lush on 23rd Street in Portland? If you haven't, I recommend that you do. Soon! You know you are getting close to the store because you can smell it a block away.



Lush prides themselves on being a cruelty-free company that uses all natural products.

 Everything at Lush is homemade! Amazing. Lush is famous for their bath bombs. They have a whole array of homemade bath bombs that range in price from $5-8 dollars a piece. In my opinion, that is a lot for one bath, but I just had to try!

Here are the two that I recently picked up. I think I paid about $12 for the two of them. Let me tell you . . . they smell A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! My whole bedroom and bathroom smelled like the Lush store. Now here is the sad part. I am highly unimpressed with the bomb that I tried. I used the smaller one because I just love the pretty rose one and didn't want to use it quite yet.

Pros: 

Smells good. Subtle, but good 

Pretty water

Left my skin soft

Cons: 

No bubbles

Left a slight pink ring in the tub

Price

Would I buy another Lush bomb? Maybe. The verdict is still out!

Ipsy: June 2014

1.Mark Anthony Beach Spray - This spray is suppose to take stick straight hair and make beachy waves. The full-size of this product is $8.99 at Ulta.This is a 1.5oz travel size.
2. Be a Bombshell Lash Out Mascara - I looooove mascara! I have never tried Bombshells' mascara, but I know their eye shadows are great, so I can't wait to give this a try. The retail price of this is $15.00.
3. Nicka K Shimmer Eyeliner in Green - The eye liner is perfect! I love the color and it went on really well! I love using green eye products with my blue eyes. This retails for $4.99.
4. NYX Butter Gloss- This stuff is pretty great. It is my ultimate favorite lip product and this color is beautiful! I was really excited to see this in my bag this month. :) These retail for $4.99.
5. DermaDoctor DD Cream - I think I have said before that I am not really into BB/CC/DD creams, but I am always up for trying something new! The retail on this is $38.00 for the full-sized and can be purchased at Sephora.

Total retail value: is $25 for the three FULL-SIZED items I got and then I would say probably at least another $5- for the two deluxe sample sizes! So I retail this this Ipsy bag at $30'ish or so, not including the bag! LOVE IT!

Sigma Beauty Highlighting Pencil

This makeup review is about the Sigma Beauty Highlighting Pencil. This came in my very first order from Sigma. If you didn't know, you can only purchase Sigma products online, so it's always a treat when I get to order something. This is a dual-ended pencil that focuses on subtle and more noticeable highlighting around the eyebrow area. If you want to accentuate your brow bone and define your eyebrows then this is a must have. One side (marked as the matte side) of the highlighting pencil gives a softer matte highlight while the other side of the pencil (marked as the shimmer side) gives a more shimmer effect. 

Pros

• very pigmented
• sleek & sturdy packaging
• very soft texture
• blend-able
• matte side
• shimmer side (can be used as a highlighter on the skin)

Cons

• availability (Internet only)

Holy Grail: MAC Oil Control Lotion

      I've found it. I have finally found it!! MAC Oil Control Lotion is my new must have, holy grail item. As I have mentioned before I get really shiny in the middle of the day in my T-Zone and have been searching for the perfect item (lotion? powder?) to combat that shine. Well, folks, I have found it! It does say oil control lotion, but I will warn you the consistency is very watery and not thick like a lotion. A little bit of this goes a very long way. I expect that this small 1 oz bottle will last me a couple of months.
      Oh, and if you are wondering why I only have the 1 oz tube vs. the regular size bottle (1.7 oz), here is why: #1 I wanted to try it before I invested the money, so I went with the travel size and #2 this lotion costs $10 for 1 oz and $32 for the 1.7 oz bottle. Uh, that's a no-brainer. I could buy three travel size tubes at 1 oz each for $30 and I would get more and save money than if I bought the 1.7 oz bottle for $32. The pricing on this is just bizarre, but otherwise this item is a hit! I will definitely be sticking with this lotion for the long haul!
