For the past few months I’ve been following Flower Beauty‘s launch, created by Drew Barrymore. This line is exclusive to Walmart in order to be affordable to everyone. I never go to WalMart, but I just HAD to to grab a few things from this line. I am most excited about the Zoom In Mascara, which has a changing brush! (Check it out on my Vine). Other products I picked up was an orange polish, a concealer, and a lipstick. I think next time I will check out the lip liners and some other shades of lipstick! Let me know what products you’re most interested in, and I’ll be sure to review those first! I think I’ll also do a video review!
Sneak Peek: Youngblood Spring 2013 Collection
Hi guys! So today I wanted to give you a sneak peek into Youngblood‘s Spring 2013 collection that contains 3 products. I will be doing separate reviews on each of these products once they are launched on March 1st!
The three products in this collection are a new Anti-Shine Mattifier, a lipstick in Debalicious, and a new gel eyeliner in the shade Lagoon.
Anti-Shine Mattifier: This product is for everyone who gets oily throughout the day! It absorbs excess oil on the skin, so it is perfect for mid-day touch ups. Some ingredients include Nigella Oil, Pumpkin Oil, and Tocopherol, also known as Vitamin E. These ingredients will moisturize, calm, and protect skin from sun damage. It retails for $36!
Incredible Wear Gel Liner in Lagoon: Lagoon is a teal with golden shimmer that is gorgeous applied either as a liner or under eyeshadow. Some ingredients include Lecithin, Vitamin E, and Iron Oxide pigments. These ingredients will hydrate and provide rich long-lasting pigment. Youngblood’s gel liners retail for $21.
Lipstick in Debalicious: Debalicious is a bubblegum pink that has a creamy finish. Ingredients include Sunflower Oil, Candelilla Wax, and Vitamin E. These ingredients are going to moisturize your lips! Just like all of Youngblood’s lipsticks, this will retail for $19.
And lastly, here’s a little teaser shot of these products applied to my face! I wore the Anti-Shine Mattifier on my t-zone, Lagoon Gel Liner on my upper and lower lash lines, and Debalicious Lipstick applied lightly on my lips.
These products will be available online starting March 1st, 2013! Look out for my full reviews in the coming weeks!

Tangerine Tuesday #18: Maybelline Vivid Lipstick in Electric Orange
I haven’t posted a “Tangerine Tuesday” in what seems like forever, because honestly, I haven’t been buying many orange things because I’m pretty satisfied with what I have, and I’ve been obsessed with darker shades for fall and winter. But, Maybelline recently came out with a vivid lipstick line that included a few oranges so I knew I had to try one out! I picked the shade “Electric Orange,” for obvious reasons! Lol.
Electric Orange is a bright orange shade with a glossy finish. I find that it’s a bit red/coral toned, a little more than I’d like, actually. Regardless, I love the formula, they smell great, and are affordable, at only $7.49 each. I believe mine was only $5.99 at Target, though, but I don’t have anything to prove that!
It applies like a dream, and makes lips look uber juicy! See all of the shades swatched at one of my favorite blogs, BEAUTEZINE. Maybelline is providing the perfect blooming shades to introduce spring, don’t you think?
Comparison: Wet n Wild Cherry Bomb vs MAC Media Lipstick
With yesterday’s post all about MAC’s Media lipstick, one of my newfound loves, I knew I had to compare it to my other favorite oxblood shade, Cherry Bomb by Wet n Wild. And since I have already compared Wet n Wild and MAC lipsticks before, It seemed like a spot on idea to me!
Here are the two shades swatched side by side. I’d say Cherry Bomb is a little darker and more pigmented, but in real life they look exactly the same. Let’s see those lip swatches!
These photographed differently for me, but in real life they are pretty much dupes. On camera, Media is a lot more purple, and Cherry Bomb is a bit more red. But, in real life I can’t tell much of a difference, except Cherry Bomb is more pigmented. So, if you are afraid of the dark pigment, I’d recommend the MAC ($15), and if you want a cheaper alternative, get Wet n Wild for only $1.99! I love both of these lipsticks so much, I recommend both of them, definitely!
MAC Media Lipstick (Review and Swatches)
As you may already know, I’ve been crazy about the “oxblood” trend for fall, and have carried it on through winter. I love Wet n Wild’s cherry bomb lipstick, but I wanted more! I had a ton of empty MAC products (mainly brush cleanser), so I grabbed 6 and headed to the nearest MAC to trade all of them for a brand new lipstick! I love the Back to MAC program, don’t you? I instantly gravitated towards Media, a dark cherry lipstick that looked pretty similar to my beloved Cherry Bomb.
And, once I swatched it, I knew I was in heaven. It’s a very buildable burgundy shade, so if you’re scared of dark shades, don’t be!
And here it is on my lips. It was a pain to photograph, but it looks gorgeous in person. I’ve been wearing it a lot, so try to spot them in my YouTube videos! 😉
