Shop and Tell #4 - Drugstore Lipsticks and Swatches

Heyyy alllll :) I thought I'd do a show and tell for these lipsticks I got in the past month. All of these ended up becoming some of my FAVES. I got some crazy brights, and some neutral pinks. Hope you all enjoy the post :)

1. Maybelline ColorSensational Vivid lipstick #902 Fuschia Flash

    Its just a crazy bright pink with purple undertones with a slightly glossy finish although over time it dries kinda matte. I saw makeupbycamila2 on YouTube use this in one of her videos and I just knew I had to get it cos I've nothing like it!! On my bare lips, it comes out more purple than a pink, but when I conceal my lips first and then apply it, it comes out more pink :) 

2. Maybelline ColorSensational Vivid lipstick #910 Shocking Coral

   I think the name itself describes it the best. Its a beautiful shocking coral color with a slightly glossy finish but it looks matte over time. Once again, it comes off more orange on my bare lips, so I like concealing my lips before applying to get the true color of this lipstick. For some reason, in the first picture the lipstick looks more orange. I took another picture just so you can see its true color :)

3. Rimmel Colour Show Off lipstick #110 Pink Gossip

    I was shopping with my bestie when we spotted a buy two get one free sale on all the cosmetic brands in Centerpoint. Both of us went CRAZY and bought three lipsticks each from Rimmel! So the first color I gravitated towards was this one- its a bright pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. If you look closely on the tube of the lipstick, you can see some golden sparkles but when applied you can't really see them. 

4. Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick #102

    This is a beautiful neutral pink with a matte finish which looks very natural on the lips. Its a basic pink that all girls should have because it goes with every makeup look! 

 

5. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick #070 Airy Fairy 

   Its a pink nude with a finish that feels like its right in between a glazed and a frost. Perfect for those days when you want a nude lip without looking washed out :) 

Here are swatches of the lipsticks I've mentioned-

(mini) Shop and Tell #3 [+ my favourite shop in Andalus Mall!]

Assalamu alaykum all!

Hope you are well :)

A few days ago, I went to Andalus Mall and here is a mini Shop and Tell of what I bought-

1- Maybelline Baby Lips for SAR15
Where I purchased it from: Orjwan beauty shop opp. to Hyper Panda in Andalus Mall

After hearing all the hype on YouTube about it, I decided to get this, especially since it was just for 15 Riyals! I picked up two extra ones for my nieces.
So, after trying them my first impression is that-- I can totally get what the hype is about! These are amazing mashaaAllah! This one in specific at least since this is the only one I've tried so far. I was sort of skeptical about them, but the colour is build-able, it feels smooth on the lips and it stains them too! Will definitely be going and getting more ^_^

2- Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Care Mascara for SAR45 
Where I purchased it from: Orjwan beauty shop opp. to Hyper Panda in Andalus Mall

This was a repurchase because my previous tube was getting old, this is the only mascara I've been liking at present. However, I'm still on the look-out for amazing mascaras so any suggestions are welcome! Especially anything that has a shorter wand, is extremely black and gives great lengthening.

3- Maybelline Colossal Kajal eyeliner for SAR20
Where I purchased it from: Orjwan beauty shop opp. to Hyper Panda in Andalus Mall

I was on the look-out for a good black eyeliner, and a lovely blog reader suggested this one as being her HG- so I bought it!

4- Eye makeup brush (Stiff dome) for SAR15
Where I purchased it from: Beauty Keys shop opp. to S-Mart in Andalus Mall

I was looking for a bigger stiff dome eye makeup brush than a Mikyajy one that I had- and lo and behold! My favourite shop in Andalus had it at a great price!

My favourite shop in Andalus...

... well, ONE of my favourite shops! Hahah! I love the products they have and the affordable prices. This is the shop in Jeddah where you can get Milani cosmetics. Also, they recently got an amazing range of affordable makeup brushes which I will soon talk about in another upcoming post, so keep an eye out for it ^_^

A sneak peek of the post ;)
