Drugstore Products "Show & Tell"



WHATTTTT??? B shopping for makeup at the drugstore? lol...yes, I am even surprised. As i've stated before, I have been let down many times by the quality of certain drugstore brands so I usually do not purchase anything from there. But I actually went into Walgreens to see the e.l.f. villains collection and walked out with one product which was from the Fergie collection put out by Wet n Wild. I then went in search for the L'Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense at CVS and I was out of luck, so from there I walked out with an Alway Liquid Liner and the Out the Door Top Coat (recommendation from MakeupbyTiffanyD). I then ended up at Target and did not find the friggin L'Oreal liner either. Since Ulta is literally next to it I went in to browse around. ARGHHH it was bad going to the prestige side, I really wanted to buy the Lorac Pro Palette but I opted out because I own too many neutral shades and I have both UD Naked Palettes. Didn't need anymore. Anyways I finally found the L'Oreal Liner I was looking for and saw an NYX eyeshadow in the clearance section that I liked so I totally got it :D
Coming back home, I researched a little more on the Fergie Collection and saw that it was only available at Walgreens. Going on the website I saw that all of the products were on SALE plus an they had an extra site wide 15% off! I decided to get 3 more products that looked interesting and took advantage of also ordering some e.l.f products that i've been meaning to try. Now I haven't used these products extensively (i received the order today ^_^) so I can't really say much on how they perform but I did do a smokey look with the Fergie Eyeshadows in "Dutchess Lounge" and the highlighter powder, along with the e.l.f cream blush. Picture at the end. So here are some pictures and swatches. I'll probably do a "Thoughts" blog on some of the products once I use them enough.

Collective Show & Tell (April 2013-Present)

I haven't posted in a while because I felt like I had nothing to talk about or share. BUT I am back with a Show & Tell that started a couple months ago :) I've done a little bit of damage on some products that I've been wanting/replacing/new found staples/ trying. Before I show all the stuff, I just want to say that yes, I spend money on high end products most of the time because I rather pay for something of QUALITY that will not only last me a long time but it will also last on my face for the whole day. Of course I've tried drugstore products before, I just don't like them (most of them) or like how they perform with my skin. They're just not that worth it to me. AND no I am not saying that high end products perform well all the time. I would be lying if I said that because I have ran into some high end products that sucked. Any who, here it goes in somewhat chronological order since April to my most recent stuff. Enjoy :D
