More Lashes and Lips

For my second part reviewing new beauty products I bought, first up is a matte red lipstick I saw while I was making some purchases at Madrag. I love matte red lipsticks now, so I just added another one and I was in for a treat because it was a very long lasting lipstick. A very high pigment red that seems to stain your lips, which is why it lasts a long time. I liked it so much that I bought two other colors today, pink and orange.

Another new product I bought was a mascara, since I was in need of a new one. I had gone to Walmart with my roommate and she had suggested this one from L'Oréal since she got one too. She had mentioned that the best mascaras are the ones that have a base coat and she was right, it makes my lashes a lot more voluminous as the name suggests.

This mascara is definitely a keeper.

Multiple Beauty Product Reviews

Unknown beauty , blue 0 Comments

I've bought a few new beauty products and can now say a few things about them, which includes some Chanel, Revlon and e.l.f. I bought a Chanel lipstick to replace my discontinued color from years ago and the purchase came with a free sample of mascara, which I finally tried and I have to say I love! The mascara makes my lashes stand out more and of course the lipstick is heaven, I leave them for special occasions.

I first put on my lipstick and mascara for a boat trip with my friend and my parents I'm Nicaragua.

I had bought this mineral infused fave primer from e.l.f. as it was only $6 compared to the $15 primer I had been using from Sephora, which I did love, but it was just too much and I had to replace it too often. I thought if try this less expensive option to see if it was a better option and it was.

Works just as well as the $15 one amd it is lasting me longer, not to mention the price tag is better.

I was at CVS with my friend after work and we had checked what coupons we had on the coupon machine and a Revlon coupon was printed for $3 off with no minimum purchase, so I'd thought I could get a $3 product for free and I found this eyeshadow for $3.19. In the end it was 19 cents and I got it in a pretty light blue to add to my colors.

I tried it out 2 days later on my day off with another blue eyeshadow I have, Chanel mascara and lipstick with many blue accents in my outfit like my new bejeweled sandals, which is mentioned in my last post.

New Chanel Lipstick

Unknown beauty , Chanel lipstick 1 Comments

I've had a Chanel lipstick for years now that I really loved and have been wanting to replace with a new one, since it was low. Now it was definitely extremely low and wanted to take advantage that I worked at Macy's to get it. It was my last day of work before I would have the two events on Saturday and Sunday and flying out to Nicaragua for 2 weeks on Monday. I went on my break to the woman's Macy's, since at this mall it's two separate locations and asked for the color that was the most similar.

I had seen online at my register before starting my shift and this was one of the colors I had thought was most similar, 414 Sari Doré. That day I was wearing a black dress with pearls, which is what the woman wear that work for Chanel, so it looked like I worked for them. A customer even asked me where the men's department was. They gave me some free goodies with my purchase, foundation and mascara.

I had seen so many fashion illustrations of this Chanel lipstick and I finally have my own.

My old Chanel lipstick with the new one, it's a discontinued shade and the bottle design was also no longer made that way.

I have yet to try any of my Chanel products, I will post when I do.

Avon Lashes and Lips

Unknown 24kt gold , Avon 0 Comments

I just realized I forgot to post this last week!! My last Avon order came Monday, I ordered a mascara and a nude colored lipstick with 24 kt gold in it. I started working on this post the day after I received the items, but I had no internet to post it. Mom's paycheck hadn't come in yet, so my dad couldn't go into the next town to pay for my phone internet and my friend just came this Monday at midnight and we've just stayed in watching movies, so I have not been out anywhere and still have not tried my new make up.
