Maybelline Bleached Neons Collection (Swatches)

Hello Lovelies!

I picked up some stuff from Maybelline's new collection for summer called "Bleached Neons" & wanted to share with you along with some swatches. 

Color Elixirs from Left to Right: Orange Aglow, Radiant Raspberry, Luxe in Lilac

Color Tattoos from Left to Right: Sunwashed Sky, Shimmering Sea

Sunwashed Sky:

Shimmering Sea:

Overall thoughts on the collection: I love all the lip products. My only complaint with those is the scent of the Color Elixirs but I knew that going in. They have a semi-strong floral scent but the awesome colors & pigmentation are awesome enough that I can look past the smell. As for the Color Tattoos I'm not a huge fan of blue eye shadows overall but there was something about these that made me want to give them a go anyway & I'm glad that I did. They are SO pretty in person. Especially the Shimmering Sea one. I love it. 

Have you guys picked up anything from this collection?

Which is your favorite?

Until next time...

Stay True & Stay You

Face Of The Day + Mini Review: Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream

Hello Lovelies, 

Today I have a Face Of The Day & review of Olay's Fresh Effects BB Cream. I got mine at Big Lots for only $5.00 but they usually retail somewhere between $10.00 & $15.00. I found mine there a couple weeks ago but I have been back since & they still have them. I posted a photo on my Instagram (@madeupandtrue) the day that I bought it. So let's get into the FOTD first. 

Face:

-L'OREAL Revitalift Miracle Blur: Used as primer mainly for the sunscreen

-Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream in Fair to Light: Used all over the face

-Revlon ColorStay Concealer in Fair: Used to cover up some redness on the chin & cheeks

-Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch in Radiant & L'OREAL Magic Lumi in Fair: Mixed together & used under the eyes & on lids

-Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder in Fair: Used to set everything

Cheeks:

-Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Light & MAC Blush in Cream Soda (Limited Edition): Mixed together on the cheeks

Eyes:

 -Maybelline Color Tattoo in Nude Compliment (Limited Edition): Used all over the lid

-Covergirl Single Eyeshadow in French Vanilla: Used on inner corners & under the brows

-Revlon PhotoReady Kajal in Purple Reign: Purple end on the outer third of the upper lash line & cream side on the bottom waterline

-Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer in Blonde: Tinted wax side used to fill in brows 

-Maybelline The Rocket Waterproof: Used on upper lashes

Lips:

-N.Y.C. Applelicious Glossy Balm 

The overall look:

 

Now, let's talk about the BB Cream itself. 

Pros:

- You get a good amount, 2.5 fl oz

- Smells good, it's very fresh & light. I get a defiant green apple scent

- Moisturizing 

- A little goes a long way

- Has SPF 15

- Good price if found at Big Lots

Cons:

- Could come off greasy looking if your skin is oily at all

- Has little to almost no coverage

- Over priced if not found at Big Lots

- Small color range, only 2 that I know of

-Coverage can't really be built up

Final thoughts:

This makes a nice moisturizer but I wouldn't want to count on this for coverage unless your skin is basically perfect already. It defiantly needs to be set with a powder but that still doesn't guarantee that it will last all day. I will continue to use this until it's gone but I wouldn't repurchase it even for only $5.00 but I am glad that I was able to satisfy my curiosity. 

Have you tried this BB Cream yet? Do you want to?

Until next time...

Sally's Beauty Supply Sally Girl Limited Edition Valentine's Eyeshadow

Hello Lovelies, 

Today I have an exciting post for you today. Well, exciting for me. I got my hands on those lovely little Valentine's Day eyeshadows from Sally's Beauty Supply! Let's take a look at them 

How cute are these? I love them. Now let's get into the swatches. 

First up Falling 4 U:

Yours Truly:

Cupid:

I Adore You:

And they conntect to each other like the new Revlon Shadow Links:

As you can see in the swatches above the little pictures on the shadows are just an over spray. I figured that they would be but I'm still a bit disapointed that they don't go all the way through. 

Pros:

-Only .99 

-Small

-Nicely pigmented for the price

-Sally Girl doesn't test on animals

 -Connect to each other

Cons:

-Only available at Sally's Beauty Supply store, not online

-Cute pictures are only an over spray

-A bit powdery but lest so once the over spray is rubbed off

Overall: I think that these are really cute & fun. If you can make it to a Sally's Beauty Supply then I would say go ahead & pick them up just be aware of the over spray rubbing off the first time that you use them. These would make a cute little Valentine's Day gift. I mean, I would be excited to recieve them. 

That's all for now. I hope that this was helpful. 

Check back tomorrow for a look using all four of these shadows together!

Until next time...

Stay True & Stay You

NYX Love in Paris Palettes....Again.

Hello again.

Today I have to share with you two more of the palettes in NYX's Love in Paris' line. Today's palettes are Be Our Guest Maurice & Madeleines And Macaroons. To see my previous review on two of the other palettes in this line then just click here.

Now let's take a closer look at today's palettes. 

 Like the rest of the palettes in this line they have this cute little bow on the side that you open it. 

First up, Be Our Guest Maurice:

NYX describes this on their website as having "shimmery purples, beiges, black & white". 

 These swatches are of course done without primer. 

Now for Madeleines And Macaroons:

NYX describes this on their website as having "Shimmery & matte nudes, beiges, & pink"

 The middle shade in this palette is almost just like the 2nd shade of the Natural palette from NYX which I reviewed here & used in a Face of the Day here.

These are again swatched without primer.

Pros:

- Awesome colors

-Cute packaging 

-Travel friendly 

-Can be nicely pigmented 

Cons: 

-Shadows are a bit powdery

-Shadows don't last long on my somewhat oily lids without primer

-Difficult to find

Overall, I really like these. They are fun to play with & have some colors that are unique to my collection. 

Until next time...

Stay True & Stay You
