Little Cosmetics Haul

On my birthday Dustin took me to the drugstore to pick out some cosmetics. I normally only purchase my mascara and eyeliner at the drugstore because I had never been a fan of the quality of products they offered for other things.  To my surprise though, drugstore cosmetics have improved so much! The brands are plentiful and there is a great variety for everyone. They also stock different price points which is fantastic... i.e. if you are looking for something a little better in quality they have it!

I am probably the worst at picking out cosmetics. It takes me SO long.  There are just too many pretty things to look at, and I always have to compare brands to see which one is better for the price. Thankfully, he didn't complain (probably because it was my birthday!) and I walked out with some new finds.

I really didn't get too much, but I was satisfied for the day. I was even more satisfied because everything was on sale for like half off. I'm kind of a sale hunting queen.

The first thing I grabbed was a perfectly pink lipstick by Rimmel. As you probably know, I swear by their mascara (and kohl eyeliner) so I wanted to try something else out.  I grabbed the last of this colour called "Airy Fairy" Lasting Finish Lipstick and let me just say that it is the most perfect shade of light pink. It's pretty much a natural shade when it's on my lips, but it just adds a bit more life to my face.

The other things I grabbed were from Gosh Cosmetics, which I had never tried, but always walked by their displays and thought how colourful and pretty they looked.  My drugstore had a box of these "final sale/clearance" colours so I spent the majority of my time digging through it all.

First I got a golden waterproof Velvet Touch Eye Liner in Rising Sun, which I planned on using as an all-over eye colour too. The other two things I snagged were both Extreme Art Eyeliners, which are "extremely waterproof"... and I can attest to the fact that they definitely are. I just loved the colours and vibrancy of them both. I got #09 Blue Art Eyeliner and #04 Yellow Art Eyeliner.  The tip is a thin brush tip and it really goes on smoothly.

See how vibrant those liquid liners are? Fabulous!  You can apparently also use them on your nails (weird, right?!):

INSIDER TIP: Apply a little on the outer layer of the eyelashes – this gives a super funky look. Use it for body art or to decorate your nails. Beautiful lines and flowers can be drawn on the nails and then sealed with a clear nail lacquer such as GOSH TOP COAT.

Overall very  happy with my purchases... well, Dustin's purchases haha. I think these shades will be great for summer too.  What colours do you like to wear in the summer? What are your fav cosmetic brands?
