I think I did pretty good in terms of staying away from the Smashbox, Urban Decay and the perfume sections. Although, at first I did pick up Urban Decay Primer Potion (I'm using MAC Prep+Prime right now and I do not like it whatsoever, but I'm pretty sure that if I buy another product of this kind, my MAC one would just go to waste. So I decided to use at least half of it and then try something else).
So here is what I bought from Ulta: 
-- O P I Nail Polish!!!--
Ulta had a "buy 2, get 2 free" offer which I don't think many people can resist....
Left to right: base coat; Who Needs A Prince?, Parlez-vouz OPI?; top coat.
I haven't tried "Parlez-vouz OPI" yet but I did try the Who Needs A Prince one and I LOVE IT! It looks light and neutral inside but you can actually see beautiful pink undertone when the sun hits it.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lippies--
Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lippies--Ulta had the same "buy 2, get 2 free!" offer for these to, so I decided to give them a try.
Left to right: Pink Cloud, Royal Red, Metallic Mauve, Wine on Ice.
I think Maybelline Moisture Extreme is good enough for the price and it goes on just like the Revlon Lustrous from my Mini Drug Store haul, which I included in the next picture:

I have to say that Maybelline and Revlon are probably my favs drug store lipsticks. What is your favorite drug store brand?

Great swatches, those are really pretty colours. I wish my camera couls capture swatches so well - it won't focus too well that close up. Are the maybelline lipsticks really moisturising? I haven't ever tried them, always end up going back to lipgloss cos I usually find lipstick too drying...
ReplyDeleteI find that these maybelline lipsticks are a lot more moisturising than NYX round lipsticks, for example. But I have to keep reapplying them every 40 or so minutes.
ReplyDeleteI actually went back to using lipsticks not so long ago - lipglosses are my favorite too!
