New fresh spring makeup
I did quite a bit of shopping this week. Wednesday I picked up a couple of new items in Target, one of them was Covergirl Lastblast Luxe in Black Royale, which has some blue shimmer in it. The wand is really nice in this mascara. It is not like the conventional mascara wands. This mascara has little rubber nubs and it’s easier to apply close to the root and really elongate your lashes. I have long lashes already and this really extends them even further and gives them a really nice curl.
Tonight however, I decided to see what CVS had on sale because lately I have been hitting some really great deals. I got a huge haul of H.I.P. a few weeks ago, B.O.G.O. Tonight they were running the same deal but on Revlon and Maybelline cosmetics, not the L’oreal. I did not pick out any Maybelline but I did get two new palettes from Covergirl, one of them was a three color eye-enhancers palette in firecracker, which is actually the top palette pictured. This reminded me of a tutorial I watched from Svetlana a few days ago where she got inspiration to do an eyelook from a green orchid. If you have ever seen one of those, they have this really pretty dark pink accents on the green petals.
I did take advantage of the B.O.G.O. on Revlon and actually stepped out of my comfort zone and bought a pink lipstick! This is so uncharcteristically like me in that I always go for neutrals or bold colors like crimson or chocolates. The color I picked out is called Paparazzi Pink, lol it was too cute to resist. So anyway, here are my results with all three of the new products I purchased.
