NEW LIPGLOSS

Summer seems to be the time when I buy and reach for lipgloss. Something about being out in the heat or at the beach makes me want glossy lips instead of a think matte lipstick. I picked up some new glosses at the drugstore lately that I have really been impressed with and wanted to share. 

First up are the three glosses released in the NYC City Sambe Summer 2014 Collection. I saw these bright colors in my local Rite Aid and was immediately drawn to them. I think they were around $1.99 a piece so I grabbed all three.

Next up are two of the Ulta Butter Balms. I just happened to be perusing the Ulta brand cosmetics display looking for any new products because I usually skip that section, but I saw these and was intrigued. I love my NYX butter glosses and the Ulta brand was buy one get one free and I had a $3.50 off coupon so I paid $4.50 for both of these. I do like these glosses, but they are not as good as the NYX ones. These tend to exaggerate any dry patches or imperfections in the lips but over a lipstick they are beautiful.

COLOURPOP

These are the prettiest shadows I have ever seen in my life.  I am so in love with these colors. 

ColourPop cosmetics is a fairly new company that offers bright and vibrant eyeshadows that are creamy and majorly pigmented. The best part? They're $5 a pop. I know, right?

I purchased seven colors but I can totally see myself having them all. These shadows give a punch of color and are so fun for parties, the weekend, or if you're like me, everyday.

The shadows came packaged very carefully and there was even a hand written note thanking me for my purchase. Little touches like that make me feel special and want to place more orders. 

The Colourpop eye shadows are a cream to powder shadow that lasts all day long with minimal fading and fallout. They say to keep the lid closed tight to prevent the shadow from drying out. 

Onto the swatches:

Are you dying over these colors yet? 

Go get you some of these!
