Spotted - New Revlon Display at Walgreens - New Products

Yesterday, while doing my drop in at Walgreens, I discovered a new Revlon cosmetics display.  I was surprised to see new eyeshadow quads in it.  It is rare to see quads in the stand alone displays.  Normally I only see quads in the limited edition sets.

I'm surprised by the colors of the quads as they are blues, pinks, purples, and greens.  One of the sets is the only true neutral, and even then it has a blue in it.

Also on the display were new nail polishes for Revlon's Gel Envy line.

See below for pictures!

Spotted - Revlon Limited Edition Electric Chrome Collection - Amazing Spiderman 2

Hello, everyone!

I hope you are doing well today.  While I was at HEB today, I was lucky enough to find that they had two new Revlon displays out.  The one that I wanted to talk about in this blog post was the new Limited Edition Revlon collection.  This collection is a tie-in with the upcoming movie the Amazing Spiderman 2.

Swatches - Maybelline Master Hi-Light and Master Glaze Blushes

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to make a quick update to my original post showing the display and products of the new Maybelline Master series for blushes.  You can see that post here.

I purchased a few more of the products tonight, so I wanted to share some more swatches with you.

First up, I re-swatched the Pink Rose Master Hi-Light blush.  I have worn this once and I used too heavy a hand.  My cheeks looked sunburned!  Because of that, I do suggest using a light hand with these blushes.  I have noticed that all the blushes have a lot of shimmer to them, so if you do not like shimmer you will want to avoid these blushes.

But I digress, swatches!

Master Hi-Light in Pink Rose

Master Hi-Light in Nude

Master Glaze in Just Pinched Pink

Master Glaze in Make a Mauve

So far I have found the glazes to be very nice and creamy, but need a little bit of work to blend out.  Everything is highly pigmented, so a light hand will really do the trick.

I hope you find these swatches helpful!

New Products - Physicians Formula - Nude Wear Products

Hello everyone!

I found new products at Ulta today.  I saw a post by Physicians Formula on Instagram about these products just a few days ago.  They retail at Ulta for $14.99, so I am going to wait to purchase them until Ulta is running their Buy One Get One 50% off sale or some other sale.  I did snap some pictures for you guys, so you can see what the new set contains.

The Display - Physicians Formula Nude Wear Products

There are six face powders and one concealer in this display.  The pinkish colored powder is in the display twice and is called Rose.

Here is a closer look at all the items:

Glowing Nude Powder in Light

Glowing Nude Bronzer in Light Bronze

Glowing Nude Bronzer in Bronze

Glowing Nude Blush in Rose

Glowing Nude Powder in Medium

Concealer/Highlighter

Have you seen any of these displays at your local drug or beauty stores?  What do you think of the products?

New Products - Revlon by Marchesa Beauty Tools

Hello everyone and happy Friday!

I wanted to share with you pictures of new products I found while out tonight at my local Walgreens.  This is a set of beauty tools by Revlon done with the Marchesa designs on them.  I thought they were very cute.  Sadly, the display I found did not have the price listed on them.

There are five products in the collection.  Two sets of tweezers, a nail file, a compact, and a box of six nail files.

The display looks like:

And I have pictures of each of the items:

Box o' Files

Slant Tip Tweezers

Mirror Compact

Nail File

On the last item, the nail file, it looks as if you can peel off the top layer and there are multiple files.  Seems interesting.  Has anyone else seen this display out yet?

New Products - Maybelline Hi-Lighting Blushes & Master Glaze Blushes

Over the last few days I have seen the new Maybelline blushes all over the place.  While at Ulta, I managed to snap pictures of all the displayed products.  I have only purchased one of the blushes for swatches and review.  I have had horrible luck with Maybelline blushes in the past, so I did not want to rush out and purchase the slew of them until I tried one or two out.

I have pictures of all the products below in no certain order.

Master Glaze: Plum

Master Glaze: Make a Mauve

Master Glaze: Warm Nude

Master Glaze:  Coral Sheen

Master Glaze:  Pink Fever

Master Glaze:  Pinched Pink

Master Hi-Light:  Deep Bronze

Master Hi-Light:  Coral

Master Hi-Light:  Nude

Master Hi-Light:  Mauve

Master Hi-Light:  Pink Rose

Of all the blushes, I picked up the Master Hi-Light in Pink Rose.  This pink blush has a slight shimmer to it and is wonderfully soft.  The blush is nicely pigmented and blends out quite well on the hand.  I have not used it on the cheeks yet, so I will give a further review in the future.

Below are pictures of the product and swatches.

Rumor - Urban Decay Naked 3 Launch Date

If you haven't heard yet, Urban Decay is launching their latest palette Naked 3 later this year.  The palette appears to be more rose gold and pink neutrals then past palettes.  The palette will retail for $52.00 and be available at the Urban Decay website, Sephora, and Ulta.

There is already a review and comparison to Naked 1 and Naked 2 on Temptalia for you to peruse.  The palette received decent marks from her, so that is always a good sign.

Rumor has it that both Sephora and Ulta will be launching the palette on December 11th at 9:00 A.M.  Make sure you get in line for this one, as I am sure like a few of these palettes in the past, it is going to sell out super quick.

Happy shopping!

First Look Swatches - Laura Mercier - Artist's Palette for Eyes

I am a weak person.  Very weak.  I am the sort of weak person that sees the 20% off at Sephora for VIBs and can not help myself.  I had gone on Thursday and purchased the Tarte Off the Cuff Blushes and figured I was going to be done.  Then I saw all the posts about the Laura Mercier Artist's Palette for Eyes and I just couldn't help myself.  It is sold out online and I managed to snag the last one at my local Sephora.

Everyone, I can totally see why it is selling out.  Oh my lord, the swatches alone make me want to take off all my makeup and redo my eyes.  This is a wonderful little palette.  The shadows are nice and creamy without being too powdery.  They swatched smoothly for my purposes here.  I have not used the palette yet, but I wanted to get the swatches up for you.

The Laura Mercier Artist's Palette comes in a brown faux leather case with a magnetic closure.  It has a large mirror in the top and a magnetic closure.  The palette is heavy but not cumbersome.  There is a large mirror in the top of the palette that is the size of the top.

The Artist's Palette has 12 eye shadows with a mixture of finishes.  Each eyeshadow is .03 ounces.

(Top Row:  Sparkling Dew, Guava, African Violet, Plum Smoke, Kir Royal, Violet Ink 

Bottom Row:  Vanilla Nuts, Primrose, Fresco, Bamboo, Truffle, Espresso Bean)

The back of the box states that the colors African Violet and Bamboo are lusters.  The colors Vanilla Nuts, Plum Smoke, Violet Ink, Espresso Bean, Truffle, and Fresco are mattes.  Finally, Primrose, Guava, Kir Royal, and Sparkling Dew are sateens.

(From Top to Bottom:  Sparkling Dew, Guava, African Violet, Plum Smoke, Kir Royal, Violet Ink )

From Top to Bottom:  Vanilla Nuts, Primrose, Fresco, Bamboo, Truffle, Espresso Bean)

I can not wait to use this palette.  I can see myself using all of these shadows so very often.  

How did you do at the Sephora sale?  Any goodies out there I should keep my eyes open for?

Hope you're having a great weekend.
