Drugstore Must haves

Hey Everyone! So it's taken me QUITE a while to write this review on a few drugstore things I think are a must have! First and foremost, I shop the drugstore section almost all the time because I have learned there are MANY dupes and of course better products in general than the ones we spend mega bucks on. Recently, I saw a commercial on a new eyeshadow called Maybelline Color explosion. The commercial made the eyeshadow look BEYOND amazing so I INSTANTLY wanted to try and see if the glitter was shown in its true colors! There were a few others to choose from but I decided to go with a purple palette since purple is good with brown eyes. I went with "Amethyst ablazed" which looks like this:

Now the way its set up as you can see is it has 4 colors and a shimmer "glitter" that is to be applicated after you get the colors you desire on the lid. to give it a WOW factor. I noticed that after using it the glitter is a bit tricky to apply and it DOES leave alot of fallout. I recommend doing the whole look BEFORE foundation. However, the shimmer is pretty overall.
The colors are gorgeous! VERY pigmented and look like so:

Overall i'd definitely say this is a worthy purchase! I am very pleased with the color payoff as well as how well it stays on! you can mix our own combos and get really creative with it! A Must have and affordable!

Along with this purchase, I also decided since I am a sucker for blushes that I would also give a Maybelline blush a try as well. I got one from the "fit" collection and it was in Medium nude which looks like this :

As you can see this is a BEAUTIFUL pale,frosty pink! It works as a beautiful frost highlight or a subtle blushed look which I think is perfect for this weather! It isnt very pigmented so it does take a few applications but it is very similar to Mac's mineral skin finishes. I think this is also a must buy and am impressed by the FIT products in general.

Lastly, I purchased the FIT foundation in 120. It has a light pleasing scent and the coverage is NICE and Medium! I didnt take a picture of this because i figured description is just as good on a foundation. It hasnt affected my pores or caused unnecessary breakouts and to be honest the smell is actually cool to me considering most foundations stink. It also has an spf in it which is ALWAYS a plus.

ALL in all , I recommend you try the maybelline FIT line as I am very impressed by them! Give them a go! Let me know how YOU loved it!

Lumiere Cosmetics Review

I was sent some eyeshadows,blush and face powder to review from a company called "Lumiere Cosmetics". They are mineral makeup and I was excited to try it out. Let me just say, I was nervous that it wasnt going to be that great but decided to give an honest review and try it out anyways.I was BLOWN away. These colors are all amazing and GORGEOUS! So I decided that I needed to get the word out and share them (swatches and pics) with you! I tried all of it on and I was amazed that the eyeshadows were so sparkly and stayed on so well. The blush matched perfectly for me and in all honesty, I am glad I tried these! Here are the eyeshadows I tried as well as swatches: Keep in mind, I did not alter these pictures in any way...These colors are all showed in their true light:

from left to right : Light plum, Dirty blonde and Expresso

The Above Gorgeous chocolate brown has beautiful gold reflects in it. This HAS to be one of my favorite eyeshadows to date. Beautiful for fall! The name of this one is "EXPRESSO". You Barely need any on application because this one is truly pigmented but shows of the reflects beautifully!

This neutral beige-y color called "Dirty Blonde" is almost a perfect dupe for Macs "Omega" I am going to recommend this one for work, the pinup eye look as well as if you just prefer a neutral eye.

This is a BEAUTIFUL Plum color that also has gold reflects in it. This is also a must have for fall! This one is called "Light Plum" This one is also pigmented so you dont need much but is gorgeous when applied as a crease color!

From Left to Right here are some swatches of:
Light Plum, Dirty Blonde and Expresso!

I definitely recommend these eyeshadows. They are gorgeous in pictures but more beautiful in person. The pictures dont do justice!

As I stated earlier I was also sent blush and Face powder! Here are the swatches/Pics of those as well!!!

The above blush is called "Clay". It is a Salmon /coral pink. Its a lovely color for the summer and you definitely don't need much application for it is really pigmented!

If you want something softer, this is "Sweet Cherub". BEAUTIFUL! It is a pale/light frosty pink with gold reflects. it is a shimmer and reminds me of the MAC MSFs. This one is perfect for fall and summer as it gives a slight frosty glow!

Here is a swatch that is also unaltered to show you true representation! From left to right is sweet cherub, then Clay!

The last two things I was sent was Facial powders. A cashmere and a luminesse. These were also very well made. Coverage was light/medium and I was also fond of these two. I am currently fair/light so they sent me those. Here are swatches!

The above is the "Light/Medium Beige

This one is Light/Medium Neutral

I didnt do swatches of these because, well they pretty much blended into my skin so you couldnt see them! They did work very well for me so I also recommend those as well!

Check out Lumiere Cosmetics on twitter as well as the website. Amazing colors, beautiful Application and I am very impressed! I will be doing a yt video wearing ALL of the above products sent and talk about them there as well! Hope you enjoyed my first review!
