Great Lash Maybelline New York Wink of Pink Limted Edition

   My sister needed a new mascara a couple days ago so she went to Target. She was just going to get black mascara but ended up with pink mascara! She hadn't realized it was pink until she opened it. She is really didn't want pink mascara so I took it. :D It is a really pretty bright pink color. Its kind of strange to have pink eyelashes but its really pretty. I have brown eyes and I think that the pink looks pretty with them. The down side to having pink eyelashes is since its a lighter color is they aren't as dramatic looking from far away. Of course having pink eyelashes is dramatic in its own way. I put 3 layers on and it seems pretty build able. Of course it isn't a lengthening or volumizing  mascara so don't expect those things from it. I think its fun to try different color mascaras, I wore blue mascara for a couple months once. I think its fun to try crazy things with makeup. Pink mascara might not be great all the time but every now and then its good to do different things. I think makeup should be looked at as a way of expressing yourself not a way to hide what you don't like about yourself. I think makeup should be fun! You should be able to find Wink of Pink at Target!

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Compact Powder Foundation Review

   I purchased the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Compact Powder Foundation a couple weeks ago and I have been loving it ever since. I use this powder foundation on a daily basis. I rarely use liquid foundation anymore. This powder foundation is light to medium coverage. I wear the shade Classic Ivory 10. It is a tad light when I first put it on but after it sinks in the color looks really natural. It has SPF 20 in it which is nice. It comes with a sponge applicator which I never used because it didn't look like it would be a very good way to apply. Instead I just use an E.L.F total face brush which does the job perfectly. It has 0.34 oz. (9.6g) of product in it. I like the packaging, the powder lifts up and underneath is a place for the spongy and a mirror. The mirror is really nice and big. It has the very faint smell of makeup/SPF but I don't notice it unless I'm smelling the powder. (which I don't do very often :D) It's a higher end drugstore product so it costs around $12. But it is a way better product than some of the less expensive powders I've tried. It doesn't get cakey when I touch up my t-zone during the day. It stays matte for a couple hours. I would recommend this powder foundation to anyone looking for a natural coverage foundation.

NYX Lipstick Review

    A couple weeks ago I was shopping for a new lipstick at Target and discovered that Target is now selling NYX products. I was really excited because I have heard so much about NYX products but I'd never tried them. It just so happened that they had exactly the color lipstick I had been looking for. I was extremely excited about the price. The lipstick I bought was around $4 which seemed like a great price for a 0.14 oz tube! I purchased the color Narcissus 509. The lipstick has a flowery scent to it. It doesn't bother me but it might annoy some people. The lipstick has great color pigmentation but it does extenuate the fine lines on my lips. I would recommend exfoliating and moisturizing your lips before putting it on but make sure your lips are clean before applying it so it goes on smoothly. I think its a great bright pink color. It is very Barbie pink which works great with many skin tones. I'm fair skinned and it is a little on the light side but I still think it's the perfect pink for me. I think that this picture makes it look a little more blue pink than it really is. In person the lipstick appears to have a little more coral undertones.

   I got this picture from the NYX website and the link is underneath. I think for the price and the color payoff this product is great! I would recommend this product to a friend! Thank you for reading my review!
