Review - Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Foundation Primer

November 26, 2011

Smashbox is known for their face primers, and this Photo Finish Hydrating Primer is the newest added to their collection. I was excited to try this out, being that my skin is dry and gets even drier in the winter. The Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer works great on my skin, so I expected this one to be even better considering it is supposed to be hydrating.

Revlon Color Burst Lipgloss Limited Edition Holiday Swatches - Eggnog and Decadent

November 16, 2011

Revlon came out with their Spice It Up collection for the holidays, consisting of limited edition Color Burst lipglosses and nail polishes. I ended up getting two of the lipglosses, in Eggnog and Decadent. I only wanted one other, Cocktail Dress, but they didn't have it. Which was odd because it was a brand new display. So I wasn't sure why it wasn't there. Anyways, here are swatches of these two glosses.

November 11, 2011

I have been wanting to get a new mascara lately, and I originally wanted to get a high-end brand mascara. While at Walgreens though, I saw this mascara and the display intrigued me.

November 8, 2011

I have only had these lip balms for about 2 days, but I had to do a post on them for a run down of what I think so far and the great deal that they are this week. I went to Walgreens and this week (until 11/12) you can get this for free! Here's how: Buy it for $1.99 and you will get a $2 Walgreens Rewards for your next purchase. What a deal! Lip balm is an essential for winter, so now is a good time to stock up. Your probably wondering how good they are. Let me tell you more about the two lip balms.
