Drugstore Haul and first impressions

I just wanted to share some of the things I have gotten from the drugstore recently in case anyone wants a full review on any of the products! Sorry I didn't have time to take pictures of all the products so I just got photos from online.Clean and Clear Finishes Mattifyng Moisturizer
First Impression: This stuff is pretty awesome! It's like a mattifying primer and moisturizer all in one! I can see my skin mattifying as soon as I put this on!

Clean and Clear Finishes Pore Perfecting Moisturizer

First Impression: This has the same concept as the mattifying moisturizer; a primer and moisturizer all in one. Because I don't have very oily skin I used the mattifying moisturizer on my t zone and the pore perfecting moisturizer on the rest of my face and I'm really liking these so far.


Loreal Go 360 Clean Deep Cream Cleanser

This is a re-purchase. I love this cleanser because of the minty fresh feeling it gives your face.

Pantene Restore Beautiful Lengths Breakage Defense Shampoo & Conditioner
These are also a re-purchase. Love them.
This is the old packaging that you might recognize.


Aquaphor Healing Ointment
First Impression: I have been using this on my super dry lips and it's like heaven!

Loreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelee
First Impression: This isn't really a first impression because I have been using this for quite while now and I LOVE THIS! Would you girls like to see a full review?



Pssst Dry Shampoo
(this is the old packaging but the new is very similar)
First Impression: Good smell. Works good. I guess I should add this to my last post about dry shampoos?

Suave Heat Protection
First Impression: I don't really know why I got this because I have gone through over five of the Tresemme heat protectant and I love it. I have just been using this along with my Tresemme. Nice smell.
Let me know which products you would like to see a full review on please!

Drugstore Foundation Haul & First Impression

I went by CVS today mainly to get a new powder because I think my MAC MSF natural might be breaking me out. I've been wearing it for almost a year and haven't noticed anything until now though. It could be another product I'm using but I can't figure out what it is! Does anyone else have a problem with MAC's mineralized skin finish natural breaking them out?
Maybelline FIT me foundation in 120
I picked up this foundation to try even though I don't have high expectations for it because I have heard that it even makes people with dry skin oily. ew. I wanted to try it out for myself though.

Revlon colorstay foundation
combination/oily
200 nude
I picked up this foundation because this seems to be everyones all time favorite drugstore foundation.

Revlon PhotoReady Powder
Light/Medium
This is what I got to try instead of my mineralized skin finish natural. I hope this works!
Let me know if you would like to see a review on these!


*After I got home from CVS I tried on Revlon colorstay on one half of my face and Maybelline fit me on the other half and Revlon colorstay is definitely winning!
Contemplating exchanging the Maybelline fit me foundation..what are your thoughts?*


*PLEASE let me know if you have tried any of these products because I would LOVE to hear your experience with them!

Small Sephora Haul & first impressions! YSL, Illamasqua, Too faced

Here are a few things I got from Sephora recently and my first impression of them!
YSL Gloss Pur in # 48 I believe the name is pure petal
The consistency of this is really great! Very smooth, not clumpy or slimy at all! It also has a very nice scent..I'm not sure what it is but it's the same as the YSL lipsticks


YSL Blush Variation in #2
I was pretty disappointed when I got this because I think the pictures online (the one shown below) are a little misleading. To me the blush looks a little bigger and more pigmented in the picture from the website. Also, there is not much pigmentation in this blush..especially for the high price. : (

Illamasqua blush in Chased
This blush is so pretty and very pigmented! I'm loving it and I have my eye on a few other shades!


Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
I have been needing a matte bronzer because all the ones I own have shimmer so this is what I choose and I really like it! It's the perfect shade for my skin tone (NW20 from MAC). This is also made with real cocoa so it has a slight chocolately smell to it!
It also has a really nice large mirror in the compact which I like!


Let me know if you've tried any of these products and what you think of them!
Also, let me know if there are in other shades of the Illamasqua blushes that you would recommend!
