Drugstore haul

I've been a drugstore makeup junkie lately. I always like to watch YouTube videos about budget makeup finds. I was at Target yesterday and decided to try some things out on my own.  I'll give an overview and my first impressions.
1. Maybelline fit me concealer

I have a fair skin and my best match would be #10, but it seemed like all 2 available at the display tubes had been opened by somebody (why do you even do this, people?)  I went with #15 just for the sake of trying out the product. I really liked it, I usually have a problem with creasing if I use something else than my MAC concealer. This one is definitely a great catch. It perfectly covered my bluish under-eye area. It didn't look patchy and didn't crease. Now I got to get  the one in my shade.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Revlon Colorstay foundation for oily\combination skin
I actually got one in the shade 400 Caramel this time for my kit that I am building, because I already have one Colorstay in my shade (only the whipped formula) that I absolutely adore. I used this one for my wedding day in summer and it didn't let me down. I was 99,99% sure in this product and bought it to use either for my caramel-toned clients or for sculpting. I do like to use just dark shades of long lasting foundations more than powder products. I swatched it on the back of my hand, it blended beautifully, it felt very smooth on the skin, but at the same time it stayed on my skin like forever. When I washed my hand with soap after couple of hours the foundation was still there. It is crazy! I had to use oil-based makeup remover to get rid of it.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. NYC liquid eyeliner
I think I got a defected one - the applicator tip was fluffy. How the heck are you supposed to get a perfect line with bristles sticking out all over the place? I guess clumsy because this is how I did it. The formula is very liquidy, takes forever to dry and that's why I think it is so messy to use. Sorry guys, but I don't know how long it stays on because the line transferred on to the lid which pissed me off completely - I gave up and washed it off. I will eventually try it again maybe with a thin liner brush, but only when I calm down, I am still angry at this eyeliner











4. e.l.f Studio baked blush in Peachy Cheeky 

Absolutely nothing special. Yes, the color is nice, it has a little sheen to it, but it didn't amaze me.

5. e.l.f Studio Eyebrow kit
I am a red-head, but since my skin is very fair for everyday life I tend to use brow products for blonds. I don't want my eyebrows to shout "WE ARE HERE" in contrast with my porcelain skin. I can use smth darker or more red for the evening looks. So I got light to try out. The should have named it transparent because it is absolutely invisible even on me. Waist of money. I honestly don't know if darker shades are any better, but for some reason I don't even want to try.  

6. Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss lipsticks

This is LOVE, beauties. Wonderful shades and pigmentation. They are not drying your lips and stay on pretty long. I will definitely come back and buy more.

7. and some randoms:
- I have dry lips and I hate the feeling of wearing long lasting matte lipsticks (though I like the look) so I decided to try applying lip balms before lipstick. I bought original Carmex (for cold sores and chapped lips) and Vaseline lip therapy (original). Not only the packaging of Vaseline balm is iffing cute, but it also has no scent (which I prefer) and made wearing matte lipstick more bearable. Carmex smells funny, I don't reach for it and it seems that it has less moisturizing power.
