Beauty Finds, Tips, and Tricks

For some reason I feel AHAVA gets overlooked a lot. I was talking to their PR lady about that this morning. Their products are SO good!!!!

 

So many new Wet n Wild palettes at CVS. And the individual shadows are on sale for like .88 cents. Woot woot.

 

This is technically complaining and bitching, but I feel the gravity of the situation will be more appreciated here.

I can't find my tube of NYX matte lip creme in Prague. I had to settle for Milan today. Still an awesome color, but not what I wanted.

WHERE ARE YOU PRAGUEEEE

 

Pretty excited about these.

 

Haven't used them since they first launched - I know they have good products, but other shiny things caught my eye by being more heavily marketed. It'll be fun to get reacquainted. They sure do smell delicious!

 

You have curly hair, don't you?

 

Samples! Lots of stuff I've never tried. Yay!!

 

Don't know about cover girl shadows, but do know Walgreens has a great return policy if you're not happy with it.

 

I've never been impressed with Covergirl eyeshadows, they always seemed to fade faster than my old standby, Loreal HIP. When I wore eye makeup I swore by Covergirl mascara, though.

I haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if this has been posted already. I recently picked up Glamglow Tinglexfoliate on a whim. Never been impressed by masks but I'd read good things about it, saw it while I was checking out, and decided to get it. Holy shit, it's a miracle in a jar. My face looks brighter, tighter, and my pores seem smaller every time I use this. It's pricey - the full size is $69, but I bought the $19 mini and have used it 4 times and expect to get 6 uses out of it. I'm totally hooked.

 

All of the glam glow products are excellent!

 

I've actually had pretty good experience with CG eyeshadow. But, I always use an eye primer or a thin layer of concealer as a base, so pretty much anything stays all day.

I don't think you could go wrong with most of those. The Stila ones look nice, but I find the color payoff isn't as great as other palettes. The Lorac Pro is fantastic. It's my next buy. My friend has it, and the colors are so rich and creamy. The Chocolate Bar is great, but it definitely has some weird colors that I would never use, like the weird shimmery pink. It smells fantastic though. And you know how I feel about my Smashbox.
