“What’s In My Make Up Bag”

Here’s an look at what’s in my makeup bag. I would love to say I don’t carry all this everyday; but I would be lying! And nobody likes a liar! My logic is simple I rarely have time to go back home ,change clothes and freshen up my makeup depending on where I am. So I carry what I need to transform my look. Makes since ,right? I do however switch out certain things like lipstick and blush colors.

Review: New Maybelline Lip-gloss Alert

Anyone who knows me; knows that I am a complete sucker for a great lip-stick or lip gloss!!! Nothing gets my gears going more than make up shopping. So I stumbled upon these beauties in Wal-Mart (Douglasville location). I was doing my usual random browsing and eureka the lip-gloss gods opened up the gates (dramatic yes, but this is how I felt). I was completely taking a chance on this purchase because I had not read any reviews on them or even heard of them for that matter! But geesh when I say I hit the lip-gloss jackpot! Maybelline has totally raised the bar and now I don’t expect them to produce anything less than this quality of glosses. I bought these for about $5 a pop; not bad if you usually purchase high-end!  I feel like I totally got my monies worth; low-end price with high-end quality.  I got 3 colors for starters. I purchased Raspberry Reflections (purplish), Electric Shock (bright pink), and Captivating Coral.  There is no doubt I am going back this weekend for more colors!

All pros, no cons:

• Great application wand
• Great color selections
• Highly pigmented (for Maybelline glosses)
• Decent moisturizing qualities
• Sleek and classy packaging (heavy, glass-like tube w/ silver cap)
• Great price point
• Awesome with or without lipstick
• Shiny; yet non sticky (which I love in a gloss)

Below are the color swatches I did on my hand to show just how pigmented these glosses are.

Colors listed top down are:

Raspberry Reflections
