Maybelline Spring 2014 Collection

While I'm always the last person to pick stuff up and no store near me besides Harmon's put out displays I was lucky to get these shiny shadows before it's too late.  Point! --- Nude Romance (eyeshadow quad) This eyeshadow quad is completely matte so for anyone who hates that there are no good mattes well here you go. Other than the out of the ordinary matte shadows I really like them, they are soft and easy to use which is the whole point of the drugstore in my opinion. The warm brown is so close to my skin color it blends right in. Next the Color Tattoos  Wish I could've gotten the lip glosses but they were all tampered with so I had to pass. My Walgreens will have them out in the next month but they will be almost 10$ a piece there 😓. These are 4 out of 6 colors. These are Nude Compliment - quite pink but metallic warm tone nude Beige-ing Beauty - warm tone metallic beige  Stroke of Midnight - glittery black matte Sleek & Spice - warm tone brown very metallic Al...

Problem Product: NYC City Proof Twist Crayon

So here yet again and really it's not even the second time it's just the second time I say down to type up a blog about it. I bought the new NYC lip products the City Proof Twistable Lip Color Crayons super long name first of all and then of course it doesn't live up to its claims. First off its got the worst fake bubblegum scent ever! It smells soo bad that I can't bare to keep it on and it actually turns my stomach. It's just too much fragrance. Then it's greasy, slippery and has almost a lip tint effect but can be build able.why you would build up that greasy lip color I don't know because it feels imediately like a 1$ cheap waxy lipstick. Waxy is the word and it melted on me even though the high temperature for this week was 35 F. So long story short they are aweful, in my swatches they will look more opaque but that's because they melted. I suggest wearing them as cream cheek colors and not on your lips I think they will be great cheek products beca...

Problem Products: NYC Showtime Mascara

Usually I throw out products that don't work for me and I leave them behind without comment but I'm thinking I may start posting about things that leave me irritated. Literally, this mascara has made my eyes burn in the past but I thought I would hold onto it and see if it was me (I have very bad seasonal allergies) or if it was the mascara. Now that it's winter I can definitely tell everyone that this mascara has something in it that makes my eyes afflicted. Perhaps it's the formula, I noticed little flaky bits on the inside of my eye lid, the only mascara that left behind flaky bits for me in the past was Hard Candy's eyelash stain. But that did not irritate my eyes likes this mascara, so I assume it is the dye or whatever particles that makeup the black base for the pigments and not the binding agent. Either way I am steering clear of this in the future since it's been 2 days with red bruised eyes and I have no intention of prolonging my own suffering.
