Drugstore Haul / Tara

'Tis the season for new Drugstore makeup! I don't know about you guys but the drugstore has been filled with brand new inexpensive wonders that I can't help but to try out. Here are some of the goodies I picked up!

 Maybelline Colorsensational "The Buffs" Collection
- 950 Untainted Spice : Deep, brown nude
- 955 Espresso Exposed : The deepest shade in the collection, a dark purple berry (my favorite of the two)

Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder
- Shade : 20 Classic Ivory
Glides on softly and smoothly, Skin perfecting silky finish, Buildable medium coverage

Maybelline Baby Skin
Instant Pore Eraser 
Maybelline has been taking over the drugstore with their new collections, it's almost too hard to keep up! The products have been great so far, but keep a lookout for more in-depth reviews on these products soon.
Found: CVS

Wet n Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain
Moisturizing lip colour
- 124 Lady and the Vamp
- 125 Red-dy or Not
- 126 Rico Mauve
You guys know Lani and I are obsessed with the jumbo-balm lip pencils that have been coming out, and these from Wet n Wild are no different! A detailed post with swatches will be up later this week. Found: CVS

L'oreal Extraordinaire by Colour Riche
Rich color, Shines, Smoothes. 
- 103 Blushing Harmony, a medium toned pinky-mauve, a true MLBB color (typical, Tara.)
- 306 Scarlet Concerto, a deep berry red. Perfect for the winter months.
These lipcolors look chic, elegant, and expensive in it's gold packaging, who would have known these were L'oreal?! This lipstick/gloss combo has almost the same applicator as their sister product - Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain- which I wasn't a big fan of, but these definitely look more promising, have a sweet fruity scent and great color payoff.
Found: Target

Covergirl TRUmagic 
- The Sunkisser
This bronzing balm from Covergirl is one of the more innovative products I've seen at the drugstore. You can apply before or after foundation for a sunkissed glow, and under contouring powder for a more sculpted look. Do I think this is the Chanel Tan de Soleil of the drugstore? Not quite, but hey, it's progress. The line also has a Skin Perfector (clear) and Luminizer (gold highlight
Found: CVS

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer (night)
 Accelerated Retinol SA, Brightens skin tone, Smooth fine lines & texture
I know what you guys are thinking: "Tara you don't have wrinkles!!"
I have read amazing things Retinol (Concentrated forms of Vitamin A) can do for your skin, and I've heard great reviews on this line from Neutrogena. I purchased the night cream to increase my chance of cell turnover while I sleep and so far it's been great! Check back for an updated night routine soon (:
Found: Target

St. Ives Fresh Hydration Lotion 
Provides freshly moisturized skin, without the heavy lotion feel, Contains 100% natural moisturizers (glycerin, shea butter), Dispenses evenly with one all-over spray
- Naturally Energizing Citrus & Vitamin C

I love how spray lotions are becoming more and more popular, because who really has time to mess with heavy lotion in the mornings?! I have a similar spray lotion from Vaseline in the Aloe scent, but I much prefer the smell of this one by St. Ives. It comes in two other scents as of now: Coconut Milk and Orchid Extract & Oatmeal and Shea Butter.
Found: Target

 Happy New Year to all of our followers!
 Much love, Tara and Lani
