L'Oreal True Match Pressed Powder
This is going to be a review on the L'Oreal True Match Pressed Powder. I also purchased this product with the L'Oreal True Match Liquid Foundation. This powder claims to match perfectly with any skintone and give you a flawless finish! The things that I love about this foundation is that its a light pressed power perfect for setting a liquid foundation. I absolutely love this powder because its so true to color, the color you see is the color you get. This is an affordable product perfect for someone on the move or that travel's a lot. One thing I like about this product is that the packaging is very pro-hygine the product is on top and there is a another compartment under where the sponge and mirror are contained. There isn't really I don't like about this product because overall its an amazing pressed powder for a drugstore. So if you've run out on your pressed powder and looking for something new to try out I would definitely recommend this. I would also suggest this product for a touch up powder used throughout the day to get rid of shine and excess oil. You can purchase this item for $8 to $10 dollars at any drugstore.
Haul with Reviews
So I went to CVS and picked up a few things to review, these are first impression review's. The first thing that picked up was the Revlon ColorStay liquid foundation, I was itching to buy this because I've been hearing everyone rave about this product so I just HAD to get it. Upon first use I really liked, this product it seemed like my dream's had finally came true Revlon PhotoReady without the sparkles! I used my regular Essence of Beauty foundation brush. It's full coverage and last's a long time and it is also transfer resistant, so this is also a thumb's up!
The second this I got was the Revlon ColorStay pressed powder, and I basically just got this to set the foundation. It work's great, get's rid of shine and provides some extra coverage. This pressed powder comes in light, medium and dark. So upon first use this is a great pressed powder and it's also a thumb's up!
So since I start school Tuesday I just thought I'd pick up a new eyeliner to try out since that's like the key to my morning makeup! So I was just randomly chose the L'Oreal MicroLiner Ultra Fine Liner, when you first buy this it's sharpened so sharp you could poke your eye out - easily. The pencil is thinner than an average pencil, it's creamy and easy to apply on the water line. So another thumb's up for this item.
While I was in the L'Oreal section I spotted the Voluminous Carbon Black mascara, so I picked it up and let me just say I really love it. I was blessed with long lashes but I like them to be more "voluminous" hence the fact I bought this mascara. This mascara granted my wishes, it's a mascara that adds volume to my lashes.
So this is a mini haul with review's, if any of you guys want an in depth review of any of these product comment below and I'd be more then welcome to do that for you guys, and if you have any kind of other post idea's feel free to comment's and I'd gladly try them out. If any of you know of a good every day eyeshadow palette's please let me know because I'm looking for a back to school one.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder
This is going to be a review on the Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder. I bought when I bought the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Foundation because I tend to like when my foundation and power are from the same line. Revlon claims that this foundation is an oil-absorbing pressed powder that leaves you with a flawless, shine-free complexion that lasts up to five hours. It also says that it will help to minimize the appearance of large pores. The good things about this foundation is that it's very light, and it set's liquid foundation really well. I use it with the Essence of Beauty angled blush brush the picks up just enough product to set the powder and get rid of shine but not make you look cakey. Something I'd change about this product would definitely be the fact that it kind of goes on powdery and take's a couple minutes to soak into the skin. I would recommend you purchase this product with the purchase of the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Foundation. You can purchase this at any drugstore from $3 to $6 dollars. So you should definitely go and get it.
L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
This is a review on the L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation this is one of the first foundation's I used. It's great for beginner's that are looking for a good drugstore foundation. This foundation is one of the several foundations that L'Oreal came out with when they came out with their True Match line. L'Oreal claims that this formula is cleaner, truer, an even more natural looking. The good thing's about this foundation is that it's light weight, easy to apply and gives light to medium coverage. It's a great foundation for someone looking to even out there skintone. The packaging is great and the glass bottle makes it durable and sanitary, but with any glass product it's breakable. The thing's I don't favor about this product is that it's very light, and if you're someone like me that has acne you need something more then this. This would definitely not cover up redness or blemishes. It does have glitter but it's not noticeable once applied. You can get this 1oz. bottle for around $7 to $10 dollars at any drugstore's close by you. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who need's a foundation to get a smooth skintone. I personally wouldn't purchase this foundation again because of the fact that I have acne and I need more coverage.
Rimmel London Stay Matte Clarifying Matte Foundation
This is a review on the Rimmel London Stay Matte Clarifying Matte Foundation, I ran across this foundation looking for a cheap foundation to use for the last couple of week's of school since I had gotten a little more tanner and I needed a little bit of a darker foundation. I wasn't looking for anything high end because, I wasn't planning on wearing foundation during the summer. Rimmel states that this product is a liquid shine-free formula, that claims to leave your skin flawless for 12 hours. It also contains botanical extracts purify and minimize the appearance of pores. This product is great, I love that it's an oil free formula and contains a small dosage of Salicylic Acid which is a popular acne medication. The packaging is very modern and the squeezable tube allows you to get the correct amount of product that you need so you can get the most of your foundation. The only thing I don't like about this product is that it's only 1 oz. This product only cost's $4 to $6 dollar's in drugstore's and grocery store so it's worth it for the 1 oz. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an on the go foundation, it's easy to apply with your finger's although I use it with the the Essence of Beauty foundation brush that you can purchase at any CVS Pharmacy. It's also great for travel, just make sure that the cap is secure. I would definitely re-purchase this foundation.
Revlon PhotoReady Foundation
This is a review on the Revlon PhotoReady foundation, you might have heard about this product because when it came out it was raved about like no other drugstore foundation. Revlon claims that this product gives you a poreless, airbrushed skin in any light. The photochromatic bend and reflect light to erase every flaw. It's said to live a soft, luminous finish. The good things about this product are that it does give long lasting, full coverage, and this foundation comes in a wide range of color's so it should not be a problem to find the perfect match for your skintone. Although this product seems to be perfect it does have several flaws, one thing that you might have heard about this foundation is that it has sparkles and it truly does have it's share of sparkles. If you're someone like me who tends to wear this foundation at school or work you don't want a face full of sparkles. Something else I don't like about this foundation is that if you have dry patches or blemishes on your skin like me, this tends to be more of a dry foundation so it molds around your blemishes and dry spots putting more focus on them. You can purchase this product in a range from $9 to $13 dollars at your local drug and grocery stores. In conclusion, I would not recommend this product although it gives amazing coverage the sparkles really throw me off from this product. If you are looking for a foundation with a sparkly finish then I would say check this product out. I would not re-purchase this product again.
Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Today I am going to do a review on the Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion. This product claims to moisturize you skin for a full 24 hours. This product is an oatmeal formula that help's prevent and protect dry skin. It also says that it will provide temporary relief of the scaling and chapping associated with dry skin. Some of the great things about this product is that it truly does what it say's. It provides amazing moisture for dry skin. During these sunny summer day's I was really into tanning, so with staying outside so much my skin became dry. I was looking for a really good drugstore lotion. Although this product does not have many flaws one think I don't really like about this product the fact that it does not soak into your skin quick, saying that you might think that this is an ultra thick lotions similar to a body butter. It's not it's very creamy, but once you apply it to your skin it does thicken up. I would suggest applying this at night and wearing legging's so you will wake up with amazing baby smooth skin. You can purchase this ranging from $8 to $12 dollars, for a 12 oz. bottle and you can get it at any of your local grocery or drugstore's. In conclusion I would recommend this product to anyone who has dry skin or is looking for a great moisturizing lotion. I would definitley be re-purchasing this product.
