Maybelline Eye Studio in Cooper Chic Swatches: My New Love

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Beauty on a budget doesn't have to be boring.  This is probably one of the most beautiful eye shadow quads I have seen a the drugstore.  This is part of Maybelline's permanent collection so you can find it almost everywhere that Maybelline is sold.  Depending on where you shop, you'll find it for anywhere from $6 to $10.  I suggest Walmart of Target for your best price.  While drug stores are convenient, they always jack up the price a bit.

These colors have been so perfect for a colorful summer look.  But at the same time, I look at it and see fall and autumn leaves. I can already tell it's going to be a quad I go to all year long.  The only thing that is missing from this quad is a matte shade for the crease but I have so many that it wasn't a problem for me.  This quad creates beautiful looks with or without an additional shade.

You will most definitely see a tutorial with this quad soon.  

Thanks for checking out one of my  new favorites!!

Maybelline Color Whispers in Pin Up Peach and Cherry on Top: My Current Go To Shades

First, I love the packaging.  I'm always drawn to the packaging and I love this.  I love that it's thin and sleek and they easily fit in to my back pocket or in a small clutch. 

Both of these shades are perfect for me for summer.  I love wearing Cherry On Top for an easy everyday bright pink lip.  Pink Up Peach has been my go to color on days I'm wearing a bronzed or golden eye look.  They are both simply beautiful.  

The formula is smooth and comfortable on the lips.  They have a shorter wear time than a regular lipstick, which I don't mind.  I actually enjoy getting to reapply these.  

Left: Pin Up Peach , Right: Cherry On Top

 R to L: Cherry On Top, Pin Up Peach

These are my current go to shades from the Maybelline Whisper's line.  I have been getting so much wear out of the both of them.  

What are your favorites from this line? I would love your recommendations.

Maybelline Vivid Lipstick in Hot Plum: Swatches and Review

What can I say?! This is yet another amazing lipstick from the Maybelline Vivid's collection.  Hot Plum is a bright vivid magenta but it's not really a neon like some of the other shades from this line.   It's consistency was creamy and smooth.  It applied beautifully.  

Swatches photographed in natural light.  

I love the sheen that the Vivid's leave on your lips.  Hot plum wore on me for 5 hours and left a slight stain to my lips.  This color is going to be great for a variety of skin tones.  This is a great shade if you're looking for a bright summer color.  

Thanks for reading.

Maybelline Quad in Emerald Smokes

This has to be one of my favorite eye shadow quads for fall.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE my neutrals and wear them almost every day but this is a beautiful inexpensive pop of color for fall.  These greens just speak to me on cloudy dreary days.  

The smokiness of these colors make this quad so fun.  Pair these shadows with either a nude or berry lip and you can take it from day to night. 

Have you tried this quad?

MAYBELLINE COLOR SHOW NAIL LACQUER IN STYLED OUT

Nails Of The Week

Indoors

Natural light

I recently had to toss some of my old makeup and nail polishes.  Among the nail polishes that were thrown away was Chanel's Blue Satin, a long time favorite of mine.  Blue is my favorite color and I was planning on repurchasing it but the $26 price point had me a bit gun shy.  I stumbled upon this color during a recent Walmart trip and had to pick it up.  It cost less than $3 for .23 fl oz, which is less than a normal bottle of polish which is .5 fl oz.  But I think in price to fl. oz. comparison it evens out.

This color is beautiful! It is super shiny going on but it does loose some of it's luster after it dries.  But you can use a top coat to fix that.  It dried really quick.  I did apply 2 coats but I could have gone with one thick coat.  With just one coat you could see streaks when I held my nails up to the light but otherwise it looked completely opaque.

This is a different color from Chanel's Blue Satin.  Styled Out is slightly lighter in color, has silver shimmer in it, and does not have as shiny of a finish.

I have decided to put my Chanel purchase on hold for now.  I love Styled Out! It reminds me of a dark denim jean and I'm excited to wear it a lot during the fall.

If you love blue polish, I would definitely pick this one up if you see it.

This is gets 5 stars from me!

Have you tried any Maybelline Color Show polishes?

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold

When I was out last week, I randomly picked this up.  I had been looking at it for a while, because I love the color tattoo in Bad to the Bronze so much.

This applies smoothly and it has great pigmentation. I have been wearing it on it's own and also with my Urban Decay Naked palette. This is definitely a yellowish gold, but I think that makes it perfect for summer.

How many Maybelline Color Tattoos do you have?

Mini Maybelline Haul

I went out looking for the Dream Lumi Concealer and I picked up a few extra things.  I have had my eye on the Color Tattoo in Bold Gold for a while and picked it up since I love Bad to the Bronze so much.  The eye quad was limited edition and there was only one left so I grabbed that. I picked up the nail polish on an impulse, but I'm glad I did.

I will be posting reviews and swatches soon!
