makeup

I’ve been buying a lot of drugstore makeup lately, haven’t been taking pictures of the stuff I’ve bought in November, but I did take a picture of a few small things I bought last week…

I regret buying the Profusion palettes, I mostly use neutral matte eyeshadows, so I really don’t understand why I bought so many weird shimmery colors, but they are quite pigmented, so I’d recommend it to those who use more color on their eyes.
I like the blushes though… 🙂

Some other drugstore stuff I bought this past month that I can list off the top of my head are

-Maybelline One by One mascara
-Maybelline Falsies mascara
-Loreal Infallible powder
-Maybelline lipstick
-Maybelline babylips
-Maybelline concealer
-Physicians formula Happy something? blush
-Ecotools brushes

and a lot more
I just realized I buy so much from maybelline hehe <3 love them!
if anyone wants reviews just contact me

(sorry I haven’t been posting a lot these days)
I’ve been lazy…

anyway a while ago I went to the Stanford mall with tiffany 🙂
and I made her wait with me in Sephora for like, 19234870923742987 hours while I tried to pick out what to buy
So I bought two things-lip stain (tokidoki) and Sephora mini eyeshadows

I really like the lip stain from tokidoki
the shade I have is carnivora, but the corally-pink one is really pretty too!

and the sephora eyeshadows
I bought it because I really like the pink color. lol
and the blue is nice too, I’ll use it for when I cosplay Hatsune Miku (if I ever get around to doing that)

So that’s all I got lol
and the saleslady gave me a random hair crap sample that I’m probably never going to use.

Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in “Va Va Va Bloom”

So I bought this eyeshadow quad recently, (been considering it for a while) and I really like it, so I’m going to do a review on it! 😀

Here are some pictures of how it looks…
I’m not using primer. All the eyeshadow used is in the “Va Va Va  Bloom” Revlon Creme Shadow quad, and I’m just wearing a bit of mascara.

Pictures in normal lighting…

with flash!

Okay so I reallly realllllly like the colors omg. I bought the darker shades of pink, purple, etc, but they also have a quad called “Seashells”, with lighter pinks and sparkly whites.
I’m planning on buying that one in the winter when my skins paler!

Packaging:
The packaging is very simple, but looks cool! There’s not a lot of product, but I probably won’t be using this every day so it’s okay. There’s a mirror, but no applicator. I actually like it better that way because then the quad is smaller and more sleek.

Pros: I love the colors! They’re pretty pigmented, and since it’s a creme shadow, no powder falls into my eyes! (I have REALLY sensitive eyes and I wear contacts.) The brighter shades look great as highlighters and on your tear ducts!

Cons:
It creases pretty easily, but with a good primer, it looks better and lasts longer.
It’s kind of annoying to open, especially if you have shorter nails.

Price:
Only $8 and probably even cheaper at some places!
I think it’s a really good deal for the price!
I would definitely rebuy this, and I’ll probably buy a few more shades too…

So, I really like this product! I’ve read a lot of good reviews on it, but also a lot of bad ones, so I guess it really depends on the person using it!
Questions/comments welcome
