The commercials with Gwen Stephani flaunting hot red lips for the new L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge have been calling my name saying “Try me! Try Me!”

I found 4 nice colors to try and with a little coupon maneuvering and sales I got them for right at about $6 each.

One thing that I didn’t mention in the video, is that these have no smell or taste, which some can be sensitive to. I would give these a B+ for long lasting color and great color variety.

This is a tee tiny haul from CVS using my $3 off $10 Beauty purchase at CVS… Make sure you scan your card this week to save! It’s only this week.

What sucks is that there aren’t any many sales at CVS on cosmetics, like BOGOs and such. However, Sally Henson products are BOGO 50% off, you can get $5 ExtraBucks when you spend $15 on Maybelline and $4 ExtraBucks if you buy select Revlon products.

I went for the Revlon deal to try out the new Custom Eyes Mascara (Blackest Black/ Waterproof) and one of the new L’Oreal Infallible La Rouge Lipsticks in Blazing Sangria.

Also, if you are in the CVS Beauty Club (if not, it’s totally free and you get more ExtraBucks) you can scan your card to see if you’ve reached your $5 ExtraBucks reward for spending $50… and you know I did. After the CVS clearance I’ve racked up some serious points.

The tally? $9.99 for the lipstick +  $7.99 for the mascara – $3 coupon = $15! Then I got my $4 ExtraBucks for the Revlon, so it’s like I paid $11 for both… at least that’s what they like for you to think LOL! For me it’s $4 off my next haul! Woot!

I haven’t tried the mascara but the wand snaps to 2 positions giving you either voluminous or defined lashes.

As for the lipstick, I wore it — of course — for the rest of the day and it is a long wear formula, meant to last 10 hours. It does last long and the color is a less dramatic red that I think can transcend seasons through out the year.

It’s not too bright, or too bold but has lots of pigmentation. It has a bit of an orange undertone, hence the name Blazing Sangria. One of my favorite drinks!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this red! Classic. Long Lasting. Yes!

Keys to making this work… Make sure that you wait about 2 minutes so that it dries. The lip balm keeps your lips moisturized. Lastly, oil foods/drinks will make it fade some.

Overall I do love the product and colors! Linda Evangelista’s Beige is a great nude.

Make sure to stop by your local CVS, you might find some amazing steals. Great time to try new products at a deep discounted price!

If you live in Baton Rouge, the ELF section is at the Millerville Target, third aisle between perfumes and NYC… They carry both the regular $1 products and some of the studio line that are $3. All good prices!

The Ulta sale will run for the next week at least, Buy 2 Get 2 Free on Ulta cosmetics and brushes.

Enjoy! Thanks for Watching!

Hello World! Been a few days since I’ve posted anything… been on a bit of a personal vacay and shopping! I’ve been on a make up binge lately and trying a lot of products that I’ve been wanting to check out.

Two product lines that I just recently picked up were NYX and L’Oreal’s H.i.P. I’ve heard a lot about NYX, so I went on over to ULTA and racked up on a few eyeshadows and jumbo eyeshadow pencil. I wanted to make a list of colors for my wishlist so I logged on to the NYX website and the first thing that caught my eye was “Items On Sale” CLICK! There are 4 sets that all 80% off including this great set of eye shadows. There are 43 colors for $43! Each color retails for $5 each so this is an absolute steal!

The colors are preset but it’s  a great diversity of colors. They are current going fast and are only offering 250 more sets, so if you want it you better jump on it! Check it out.

Now L’Oreal’s H.i.P. line has been around for some time but I just never got around to picking any up other than the lip gloss. So since they were buy one get one free at ULTA, I figured this was a good time to go ahead and try it out. I picked up 4 of the Color Truth Cream Liners and 4 of the Shocking Shadow Pigments. I have never used loose pigment but it was a lot less complicated than I thought.

I’m also wearing the NYX Lip Gloss with Mega Shine in “African Queen” in vlog.

NYX can also be purchased at Nonpareil Boutique (currently has 20% off sitewide ending 3/20) and Cherry Culture for less than retail for some items.

Hope you enjoy the blog, I know it’s a little long but I had a lot to show you guys.

I got J. Holiday’s “Don’t Go” in the background, his new album Round 2 is really good!
