Drugstore Goodies & Giveaway Announcement!!!

*All products purchased by me*

The other day, a lightbulb went off in my head. I thought, "Hey! You should do something special for your readers!". So off to Walgreens I go, searching for something I'd want to giveaway to my readers & subscribers. So what was I looking for? Find out after the jump!!

Out of the Box: Velvet Provocateur Nail Kit

*Product sent to me by Pretty Woman USA (complimentary), solely for review purposes. This review is my own honest opinion.

Remember a while ago when I posted about a certain velvet nail kit from Rite Aid? The idea of velvet on my nails was very intriguing. Well, I finally got to try it out for myself thanks to Pretty Woman USA who was very nice to send me the kits for review.

Let's start with what's inside the kit. 

Spotted: Velvet Nails

New texture nail polishes and kits are popping up all over the place. Like Ciate's nail caviar, OPI's glitter sand, and more. On my latest run to Rite Aid, I spotted a new nail texture polish/effect I have yet to see.

Pictures after the jump!

Christmas Already?!

I always feel this time of the year, the holidays just stack on top of each other. I walked into a local Rite Aid the day after Halloween, and spotted several holiday make up and nail polish displays set up already!

Spotted: Magic Lumi Tru Match Foundation & L'oreal Youth Code BB Cream

Lately, I feel like every time I walk into a Rite Aid, Target, CVS, or Walgreens, I see a new BB cream or foundation...

I have my go to BB creams (Dr. Jart or Skin 79) and my usual pick of foundations (L'oreal True Match, Maybelline FitMe, and the new Naked Skin), but that doesn't mean I'm not curious about some of the new products.

I'm especially curious about the L'oreal True Match Lumi, which sounds like the put the True Match foundation together with the Magic Lumi primer/highlighter. For me, True Match goes on my skin very smoothly, its easy to blend, and it stays on my face pretty well. I love a dewy look, so if this foundation can achieve that, it will make it into my collection of everyday foundation =)

And then there's the array of BB cream popping up all over. I haven't tried any of the new ones by Garnier, Maybelline, etc... but the L'oreal Youth Code BB cream caught my attention. I use Youth Code serum at night as part of my skin care routine, so I wonder how the Youth Code BB cream will compare to my current BB creams.

Mini Rite-Aid Haul

Stopped by Rite-Aid today after work and thought I'd share with you what I brought home.

First, I spotted some new additions to the L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadows. I didn't buy any since I already have 6 and that's enough... for now.

I don't know if L'oreal created these new colors for the Spring, but I love them! The new ones are Pink Sapphire, Gold Imperial, and Gleaming Bronze. Also on the display (not photographed) was Golden Sage but that's not a new color so I didn't take a picture of it.

Pink Sapphire is a very pretty soft pink. It definitely has that "Spring" feel to it. I think it'd be a really great all over lid color on a lot of people.

Gold Imperial is a gold like Eternal Sunshine, but slightly lighter. I think it'd show up on me more than Eternal Sunshine because of the gold/yellow tone in my skin. Think of Gold Imperial of a mix between Iced Latte and Eternal Sunshine.

Gleaming Bronze was the one I was most tempted to buy. I think it'll look a lot like Maybelline Color Tattoo's Bad to the Bronze, with more of a metallic finish.

If you're familiar with the Infallible Eyeshadows, then you know that they're long lasting and super pigmented. You really can't go wrong with any of these colors. I look forward to see more colors added to the collection!


I need new lipliner, but wasn't looking to spend too much so I was looking at the NYC and Wet n Wild ones. Then these guys caught my eyes:

Jesse's Girl lipliner in Melon & Naked

I don't know if this is a new brand but it's the first time I've seen it. I got them for $1.99 each. The colors are Melon and Naked.
The lipliner feels very creamy and goes on really smooth. I also like that they have a sharpener built into the cap.
Melon matches really well with my Peach Parfait lip butter, which I wear almost everyday. I haven't tried out Naked with any of my lipsticks yet but I think it'll match well with Berry Smoothie or even Fig Jam.

Last but not least:

They were 0.79 each! I couldn't pass these up, lol!
