Meijer and CVS Haul & The Best In Beauty Competition!

   

     Hello Everyone! Today's post is dedicated to some new things that I have recently picked up at the drugstore. I was originally going to do this post exclusively on my blog but relied on my Facebook page (link here) to see what you guys thought I should do! Everyone said to do a video so that is what I did! Like I say in the video, if you ever want any input regarding my posts and/or videos that is the best place to follow! :) Enjoy!

     I originally took all of the following pictures before my CVS trip so please enjoy these in-depth photos of the products I picked up at Meijer.

     Physicians Formula Super BB Powder: Uh oh! As soon as I took this out of the packaging I heard something rattling around and it turns out that the entire pan had come loose! There was only a tiny portion of glue attaching it to the compact so adding a dab of hot glue would possibly be an easy fix. However, this was a new product! This should definitely not be happening...

     Milani Powder Blush in 02 Flora Passion: I swear I love this packaging even more every time I lay eyes on it. I love the simplicity of the packaging and the gold detail is a nice touch. The formulation is nice- it is VERY soft and smooth to the touch. However, I could see this product being a bit powdery but if you use a light hand you should be fine! I have used this a few times on my cheeks and have loved the color pay off. At first glance I didn't think the product was SUPER opaque but you do get a nice flush when using this that is definitely buildable!

     Milani Nail Lacquer in Purple Martin: I said pretty much all I wanted to about this polish in my video. I was a little let down by the color but overall it's a nice, opaque formula with average staying power.

     Milani Total Lash Cover Mascara: Behold my first Milani mascara! This brand is definitely one that I want to get more familiar with in the near future. I feel like I hear TONS of great drugstore finds coming from this brand that is pretty reasonably priced. The brush on this is not my favorite.... The pink part is a little too hard and the softer bristles are kinda of difficult to get to. I just don't understand the brush at all really. The formula is on the wet side and doesn't do anything too drastic to my lashes so as of right now I will be returning this but remember my first impression could definitely change!
