| Milani Baked Powder Blush in Red Vino |
When I saw this was on clearance for just a little over $3, I just had to pick it up! I'd been wanting to experiment with more Milani baked blushes, and I'd been searching for darker tones to try out. It was a perfect combination of solutions! And this blush is GORGEOUS! I'm so glad I got it when I did because it is perfect for winter time. It gives you this rosy flush as if you've been outside in the cold. It's also a great blush because it can work for all skin tones. The gold shimmer helps to warm it up for those who need it warm, but if you really blend it in, more of the blue-toned red comes through. It's great!

| NIVEA Lip Butter in Raspberry Rosé Kiss |
Oh my gosh. How have I not bought this before now? I love it! It smells and tastes amazing. I run the risk of eating it. SO delicious smelling. And it is so moisturizing. It leaves my lips feeling so hydrated, soft, and smooth! It's wonderful!!!
Oh, and I thought the back of the packaging was super cute:
It's sold in a plastic casing attached to a piece of cardboard. All the advertising stuff is on the cardboard, and I just thought the stuff on the back was so cute! "We make kissing better." HA! Love it.

| Hard Candy Mod Quad Baked Eye Shadow in Brownie Points |
I had a gift card to Walmart, so I thought that it would be best to use it to buy things I could only get at Walmart. I'd been wanting to try some more Hard Candy things, so I picked this up. The shades are pretty sheer dry, but I'll have to see what they look like wet.

| Hard Candy All Lid Up Cream Eyeshadow in Lady Like |
I've been wanting to see how other drugstore cream shadows hold up, so I picked this up as well. I don't know why, but I've been really drawn to pink shadows lately. I like this because it's thinner than Maybelline Color Tattoos. Don't get me wrong, I love Color Tattoos, but you kind of have to be careful when applying them so they don't get too thick and skippy. Since this one's so thin, I think it will make a nice base for other shadows.

| Flower Beauty Kiss Stick Luxury Lip Color in Baby Buttercup |
I've also been really wanting to try some more from Flower Beauty, so I decided to pick up a lip stick. This shade looked like it would be nice for spring. I think I'm a bit disappointed with it, but I haven't used it too much. I'll report back after playing with it more!

| Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow quad in Velvet Crush |
I heard that Maybelline revamped their eye shadows so they were supposed to be longer wearing. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the old ones, but whatever. Maybelline just can't seem to make up its mind on what it wants to do with its line. Anyway, I wanted to try it out. The liner color drew me in. I'm just gonna tell you now, I'm pretty disappointed. These are not amazing. They're hardly alright. The swatches are so pathetic! So powdery and not very pigmented. C'est catastrophique! I'm just going to have to do a whole other post on the subject because Maybelline is making me mad. Moving on.

| Maybelline Master Hi-Light by FaceStudio Hi-Lighting Blush in Nude |
In retrospect, it was pretty dumb of me to pick up this blush after not liking the eye shadow, but a lot of people were saying good things about the different new face products, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm still making up my mind on whether or not I like it. It's a subtle blush. Probably depends on what you're going for. It's very warm-toned and peachy.

| Maybelline Color Tattoo by EyeStudio 24hr Eyeshadow in Tough as Taupe |
I've been wanting to buy this for a while now, but just haven't. I think it's so basic, that my attention was always diverted to other newer and more extravagant things. But I finally got it! I like that it's matte. There aren't too many matte eye shadows in the permanent line. Someone needs to write them and tell them to change that. Maybe that someone will be me. Who can say?
Alrighty y'all! I hope you like seeing what I got around the various holidays. I know it's quite a while after the fact, but surprisingly, I haven't used all of these all that much. A few I have, but not all.
Here's a fun picture of what happens when you remove teal nail polish from your nails. It can get pretty messy.
I've honestly never had that much trouble removing polish. Thankfully the skin returned to normal color by the next morning (I removed it at night), so no one was the wiser! In case you're wondering, the culprit polish was Ulta Salon Formula Nail Lacquer in Dance Teal Dawn.
Have a marvelous day!
