Lipstick League Question of the Week:
What’s the last drugstore beauty item you purchased? And how is it working for you?
G's answer: I literally just bought one of the new scented polishes from LA Girl (now at Rite Aid). I haven't tried it yet (but I'll be showing you pics of the display a bit later). I bought it because I don't already have a neon yellow jelly in my collection, and the fact that it's lemon-scented makes it even better. Hopefully I can make a good "jelly sandwich" with it. I'll definitely post a review in the near future.

What's the last drugstore beauty item YOU purchased, and how is it working for you?
Friday night I purchased Revlon Blue Lagoon and Tangerine polishes on clearance at Walgreens. I applied Blue Lagoon right away and am in awe: it's stunning. Yes, it's streaky, but after 3 coats it's somewhat okay - 4 coats would have made it even better. It's my new favorite shade.
ReplyDeleteLast week I got a little carried away, so I bought quite a few things. One of my favorites has been the Maybelline quad in designer chocolates. Three very nice neutrals, and a beautiful dusty rose shimmer. I've worn it three days this week, today I did a neutral eye with it, then the color tattoo in tenacious teal on the lower lashline... beautiful. I also picked up one of the Milani shadow eyez (the beige) and it is very nice, super creamy, pigmented,stays right where you put it. I would have gotten more if I did not already have all of the color tattoos, which have most of the other colors. Another great purchase was the PF eye booster liner pen, it is really great. Extremely fine tip, product flows without a skip, stays right where you put it. It was an impulse buy because of a spur of the moment coupon deal... but it replaced my other liner pens, blew them out of the water.
ReplyDeletehmmm... I think the wet n wild eye marker thing. I soo disappointed in it though, it's nothing like the jordana one :(((((

Maybelline Lots O Lashes mascara and it has ruined me for all others. That pink brush is magical!
ReplyDeleteOne of my newest drugstore buys is the Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer and it works wonderfully! Almost as well as the Prime Time primer, but not quite (my face gets a tad bit more oily, but not noticeable unless pointed out).
ReplyDeleteRite Aid had Black Radiance products on sale and I had been eyeing some of their eyeshadow quads on sale for 3.99. I bought the Moroccan Mix. LOVE it! Used it last night for my mans b-day festivities and I used MAC longwear concealer as a base. Held up during the night of dancing!! The colors in the quad are a gold, teal, bronze and a dark gold.
