Unnecessary Collective Drugsore Haul

Hey ya'll! I'm sincerely sorry for being completely MIA...within the duration of November lots of things happened to me. An emotional toll was taken and my blog was not my top priority. It's above practicing my violin for school, although that doesn't say much at all...oopsies.

But, what better to do than shop for makeup during an emotional time?! That's right...eat lots of junk food. LOL, on a serious note...the haul shall begin.

As the drugstore's take on Black Friday, I suppose, many brands were BOGO 50% off. Let's just say I got a little to excited.

REVLON:

Just Bitten Lip Stains
      -Dawn, a darker skin-tone shade. When layered, a deep chestnut type shade. Not internationally flattering, although attractive on fair skin tones when applied with a light hand.
     -Victorian, a dark berry shade. In the event of layering, the color will appear dramatically darker.

Let's just say that I thought the colors were lighter than they actually were.

-Lip Butters....ASDFGHJKL;OMFG
     -Creme Brulee, a golden nude. PUUUUURFECT. This doesn't make you look dead,sick, or stupid. Universally flattering, and just insanely gorg.
     -Pink Truffle, a muted deep pink. If you're looking for a dark pink that doesn't look completely PINK, you're in the green. This appears as a deep pink-toned neutral shade on the lips. I will attempt uploading pictures later if possible for such a puny brain as mine.
     -Peach Parfait, a peachy everyday color. Did anyone else notice that all of the names are yummy? Moving on...this is a gorgeous wearable peach. You're lips will not look orange, or like you just stepped off a lipstick runway. It defines the description "peachy pink" that is used too often.
     -Sweet Tart, a bright barbie pink. What else must I say? LOL. Light pinks look horrible on my lips, I look washed out and frosty...whether she lip product is matte or not. This is like a darker neon pink...LOOPHOLE!
     -Berry Smoothie, as the name implies, this is a raspberry type of shade. Not bright, but just a bit darker and deeper than an everyday shade. Perfect for mid-day affairs...and not that type of affair, ladies and gentlemen.
     -Lollipop, a bright raspberry color. It's not exactly neon, it's like a bright dark...if that makes sense. Picture berry smoothie...but BRIGHT! Loving this for fall because it's a purple-ish. Definitely not inappropriate for fall, maybe a tad deep for summer.
     -Candy Apple, GUESS, JUST GUESS! It's a bright, candy apple red. Not quite the classic red lip, but definitely a modern take.

I'm going to do a full on review of these. But basically, these are a happy medium between lipsticks and tinted lip balms. They're their own category...LIP BUTTERS! WHUT.

...just when you though i was done with revlon.

Single Babes
     -Colorstay Foundation, full-coverage yet not cakey. I spilled mine all over the floor, I thought I'd repurchase it. Ironically, this it the first-ever makeup product that I've ever repurchased in the history of time. O.
     -Matte Blush in "Perfectly Peach", the name said it all! A perfect peach color with a lack of pigmentation that gives you the BEST wearable peach cheeks. By lack of pigmentation, I mean that it's not unnecessarily pigmented to the point where you're no longer wearable.
     -Colorburst Lipstick in "Pink Sugar", a nice muted shell pink. Annoyingly sheer, but satisfyingly smooth. Before the lip butters came out, I liked this as a tinted lip balm sort of thing. Needless to say, the lip butters blew it out of the water. Awkward because they're from the same brand AND line!
     -Colorburst LipGloss in "Rosegold", a rose gold. What an original name, jeez! Don't let the tube fool you, because it looks kind of burnt in the tube. BUT IT'S GAWG ON.

phew...done with revlon!

MAYBELLINE
     -ExpertWear Eyeshadow palette in "Sunbaked Neutrals", this features 8 shades...4 of which are almost exactly the same as in the quad "Chai Latte". Pigmentation is a hit or miss in a swatch...but on a brush they're slightly better. They blend nicely...and the third shade from the left on the top row is AMAZING. Looks a lot like UD's "X". Walk into the drugstore expecting disappointment from these, and a few will change your mind. Only a few.
    -Eyestudio Quad in "Mad for Mauve", this features four eyeshadows...three being the same size and one being like two put together. I enjoy the shade selection, but wearing these all together may be a little much. Pigmentation is a let-down, but they all blend together and are smooth. Not something where you can only use this. Other shadows would be necessary for a normal person LOL.
     -MasterDrama EyeLiner in "vibrant violet", UGH. This is amazing...pigmented and doesn't budge, yet it's able to be smudged out if you want it like that. Perfect for waterline, tightline, ANYTHING. Why do I say ugh? Mine broke. It just doesnt retract. I have a tiny stub, and all the rest of my product is wedged and stuck. i wish it hadnt broken, wah.

SINGLE BRAND BABES
-Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit in "light", this has three shades. A light eyebrow shade, a dark eyebrow shade, and a shimmery eyeshadow highlight color. I actually like the highlight, which is unusual, i prefer matte browbones mostly. Nothing you have to get your hand on, but I reach for it everyday and appreciate it. sometimes i kiss it.

Without further ado, my haul has come to an end. If you read this far, you're probably my mom. go away, mom. okay i love you all, yeah mom you too, BYE.
