Drusgtore lippies and eye liners review + swatches

 The lippies and liners for this review are the ones from this drugstore haul. (You can find it here: http://beautymadn3ss.blogspot.com/2013/01/drugstore-haulage.html).

Rimmel - Moisture Renew in 105 Pink Benefit : I was really hoping I'd love this, but I hate it. I hate the applicator, I have to keep going back into the product several times to cover my lips. When worn by itself, somehow it manages to make my lips paler, which is odd, because they are pigmented by themselves. When I swatch this it looks like a gorgeous pink, but it definitely doesn't look like that on my lips. It tastes horribly and no, I don't eat my lip gloss, but you can't help but feel the taste of any lip product you wear at some point. It's called "Moisture Renew" and my lips didn't feel moisturized at all, actually they felt drier. I don't like this one bit and don't recommend it at all!

On lips:

 Maybelline - Colorsensational High Shine Lipcolor in 805 Pink Freeze :This is by far my favorite lipstick from all of these drugstore ones I got in that haul. It goes on super smooth, it feels super creamy, my lips feel moisturized and it still pigments amazingly. The shade is a really cute pink with a bit of a frosting look to it. The shade of pink is not too dark and not too light. It works great for getting a "sweet/innocent" kind of look. I love it! It doesn't have a bad kind of a taste, it's not annoying. It wears great throughout the day and doesn't make my lips feel dry.

On lips:

Revlon - Lip Butter in Sugar Frosting : This is super soft and moisturizing on my lips. It doesn't have a lot of color, it just adds a frosting effect. I really like this and it wears great throughout the day.

 On lips:

Wet n Wild - Megalast Lipstick in 968 Pinkerbell : This is the prettiest color evar! This is a dupe for MAC Viva Glam Nicki. This lipstick is super pigmented and bright and it goes on soft on the lips. BUT, it gets super dry after a while. I like the color a lot, but if your lips are not the softest, most moisturized lips ever- it might show chapping. It does also create a ring around the lips, which is sad. It almost even goes on chunky.

Eyeliners:

Wet n Wild - Coloricon Eyeliner Pencil in 650D Purple and 659C Turquoise: Both of these eyeliners suck! The Turquoise is way less pigmented than the Purple. Seriously, they suck. They feel like I'm dragging a rock over my lash line, water line or lower lash line! They are not pigmented at all on the water line and somewhat pigmented on the lash line and lower lash line. This is, however only when worn alone. When worn with eyeshadow, they completely remove the eyeshadow. LOL! I do not recommend these at all! I know they are not worth a lot, but don't waste your money on this!!

Swatches:

Left side without primer, right side with.

Primer.

No primer.

On eyes:

 As you can see they barely show at all on the water line.

Disclaimer: I purchased this with my own money, and this is my own personal opinion :) 

NOTD: February 11th(First Jelly Sandwich!)

 I decided it was time to experiment with Jelly Sammiches! And so I did, I used Deborah Lippmann Call Me Irresponsible and Revlon Girly!

  I applied 2 coats of Call Me Irresponsible(because it's really sheer), one coat of Girly, another coat of Call Me Irresponsible and one coat of Seche Vite.

Close up:

I really love the end result! I absolutely fell in love with this polish, so much I wore it until the 13th, because I wanted to make a Valentine's day look. I think this came out really cute <3 I love it!

BzzAgent Glade Expressions Campaign

   I signed up for BzzAgent in October and this is my second campaign. If you don't know what BzzAgent:

Connecting people and their favorite brands since 2001, BzzAgent is the leading social marketing company. What's that mean to you? We put products in the hands of hundreds of thousands of real consumers and help them share their opinions about them with friends and family via reviews, Facebook posts, photos and videos, blog posts and more. We wouldn't call ourselves heroes, but it's okay if you want to.

Taken from BzzAgent's website

  Now that you know what BzzAgent is, they have campaigns were we(the BzzAgents/consumers) get to try out products and "bzz" about them. Meaning- we try them out and spread the word of what we think about said products we tried out.

  I got in a campaign for Glade Expressions. I received 2 coupons for a free Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter Kit and a free Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser Starter Kit. I picked both of them up at Walmart (OMG did she just admit to stepping into a Walmart? OMG yes, yes I did. I don't think you are less or more trashy for the store you step into and shop, I think you either are trashy or you are not, regardless of where you shop.). 

Fragrance Mist on the right, Oil Diffuser kit on the right.

  I didn't have much choice on the Oil Diffuser, because there were only 2 kinds left,  but I really like the one I got. The bf's dad helped me choose because he's sensitive to smells and doesn't like certain stuff. There was a lot of variety for the Fragrance Mist Kits, but I still think I made the right choice, I really like the one I got for that.

 I'm really sensitive to smells, so usually I don't like any added smells to the house. Sometimes even my own perfume that I've been using for the longest time can give me a headache or get my nose all itchy. But these scents are actually really pleasant!

Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist:

 I got the Fragrance Mist in Italian Cotton & Mandarin. Number one on my priority list- no itchy nose = win!  I got no itchy nose from this, yay! I'm loving this spray, I put it in the guest bathroom and I spray it every so often. I could even say I do it daily, just to smell it. It has this clean, fresh, out-of-the-shower smell and I love it! If there's a smell I love is when someone walks straight out of the shower, that just-showered scent is amazing. And I say "when someone" because I can't really smell myself LOL! I'm really liking these, it adds freshness to the house and just this clean feeling to it, because it smells so clean! Nobody has complained about it so far, however, don't go overboard with it, because then it might be annoying. You know too much of something is never good. And over spraying this won't be good either, a couple spray here and there are just perfect. 

  Usually this spray bottles are hideous, but you can remove the sticker on this one and it's just a white bottle with a really stylish shape, I like it. So much I left it on display in the bathroom!  

The bottle looks good without the sticker on, I like it.

Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser: 

 I picked this one up in Pineapple & Mangosteen, because the bf apparently doesn't like the smell of cinnamon too much, so I rather avoid his old man ranting about completely irrelevant things(bf editing: hey now!). Either way, the old Apple-Cinammon smells is kinda boring for me personally. One thing I HATE about Oil Diffusers is how UGLY they are and how much they stand out between the decoration in any house, because they are usually white, plastic, ugly looking things. This one is not, it actually looks pretty good. It just blends with the "decoration", and it doesn't look bad by itself. 

Assembling this is super easy as you can see: 

 Now the scent- I'm in love! Seriously, I love it! It's sweet, but fresh at the same time, it smells like something I will call: Piña Colada Candy(invention of my own, this doesn't really exists, that's just how I'm gonna call what I think about when I smell this). I want to eat this! Of course I won't because, well it's not food! But if there was a thing that smelled like this...well I would roll myself back to Costa Rica, because I would eat it daily! It's also very relaxing, it just makes me think of the beach, because I mean, who doesn't love a Piña Colada beach side? I know I do! Or not even beach side, just anywhere!

 I placed it in a really strategic point too! It's the first thing you smell as soon as you step into the living room and it just hits you, but it doesn't like slaps you in the face, it more of a hug and let go(did that just sound super lame or is it just me?). It's a really subtle, but awesome smell(I'm sorry, I'm in love, hush). It's not overwhelming at all, it just add a touch of sweetness to the house. A "welcome, come chill in the couch right here while I make you a cocktail" kinda thing.

See how it just blends in?

   One cool thing I forgot to mention, the Oil Diffuser uses no power at all! Which is a plus as it saves some energy I guess.

 Overall, I'm super glad I got to try these out, because I'm super picky when it comes to smells and all the sprays in the market and scent thingies have really let me down. They make me sick and my nose itchy and I don't like that one bit. Both of these are dead on with the description, they smell really nice and are not overwhelming at all, but again- don't over spray the mist!

 Also, they were super awesome and sent a bunch, of awesome coupons, that leave the products at like $.98 and $1.98 or something around that! I will definitely give a bunch of them away, but I might keep at least one, to restock when we run out of this.

Disclaimer: This was sent to me for free by BzzAgent to review, I am not getting anything for giving a positive review or a negative review, this is my own personal opinion ^^ I didn't "love this" because that will make for a good review, I loved this, because I actually liked it :)

NOTD: February 9th 2013

 Last Julep February polish NOTD, again this is from my February Julep box.

 That's 2 coats of Julep Joan under 1 coat of Seche Vite. The shade has a bit more blue in it so it looks a little bit more purple.

Close ups:

 This polish has a gorgeous rose gold flake! I loved it and I'm not a fan of gold shades, so that's saying a lot!

Warning: Might stain your nails.

I used the Oxygen Nail Treatment before I applied this polish and it still stained my nails a bit, it's not super noticeable, but you can really tell with the flash.
