Beauty Finds/ Recent Purchases

I love Lipsticks and I'm in the process of getting more spring and summer colours.  Yes, I am anticipating spring even though it doesn't look to be coming anytime soon.  Anyways, it seems that crayon/pencil lipsticks and lipbalms are a big thing now across all the major cosmetic companies.  I went to Target the other day and picked up two new lip balms/lip sticks which I really didn't go there for but I'm an impulse buyer.  

The first colour I got was the pink one in the middle, which is NYC City Proof Twistable Crayon.  The colour I got was Fulton St. Fushia.  Its a bright pink colour with a slight shine.  It is very moisturizing and pigmented.  It is a build-able colour, meaning that it isn't as bright with just one swipe but can built up to a very opaque pink.  The only problem I had with this one was that it does show any cracks in your lips, which I don't like.  It is workable and since I like the colour, I will continue to use it. This lipstick was around 3 dollars which I find very reasonable.

The second lipstick I got was the Rimmel London Colour Rush Balm in the colour On Fire.  The colour is a very similar to Coral.  The lipstick is very moisturizing and pigmented with a slight shine.  I find it to be more opaque then the NYC City Proof as well as it hides the imperfections in my lips a lot better.  It is a great spring and summer colour.  It retails for roughly 6 dollars.

The Makeup Forever item pictured above to the far left is a Mascara that was included in Sephora's beauty insider birthday pack.  It was my sisters but she didn't really like it and gave it to me.  I'm not a big fan of it either simply because the colour, Extravagant , is not a deep black and shows to be more of a grey colour.  I don't find it does anything special to my lashes for me to purchase the full bottle either.  The mascaras I have from the drug store brands do a lot better job.

Last but not least is my acrylic makeup holder! I have been looking for this thing forever and I am so excited to get my new lipsticks to fill it up with.  I'm not really big on makeup but I do love some lipstick and mascara.  I got this set from winners for 12.99, which in my opinion is more then reasonable.  It has space for 15 lipsticks and three additional spaces that can hold your brushes, mascara, powders or any additional items. I've just filled mine with some temporary items until I get my new lipsticks. I've already ordered a new mac lipstick which I can't wait to add in here.
