Drugstore Haul (Rimmel, Maybelline, and Hard Candy)

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a restful and enjoyable Sunday. The nice, warmer weather is still here so I am enjoying it while it lasts. Today I decided to do a mini haul post for you, mostly lipsticks but a new concealer as well. Rimmel is my favourite drugstore lipstick brand and as you can see I bought another three of their lipsticks. 

 

I picked up two of the new Rimmel lipsticks from their Moisture Renew range. I think they released these a few years ago, then discontinued them, but now it seems they have brought them back. I got As You Want Victoria which is a blue based bright fuchsia which seems perfect for grey winter days, and Summer Angel which is a very shimmery peachy nude. Truthfully, I only bought Summer Angel because it was Anna Saccone favourite of the line... Not really sure how I actually feel about it, but maybe it will grow on me and I think it will be lovely in the summer. I don't recommend buying lipstick this way, pick ones that you like :) 

I didn't actually buy this red lipstick today, it was among the many lipsticks in my basket here at home, but I realized that I'd never opened it so I thought that I would include it in this haul. It is Maybelline's Very Cherry lipstick and it's a bright red. Although not very cherry coloured, more of a strawberry-orangey red. I like the formula of Maybelline lipsticks, as they are a bit more dry, so I can't wait to try this one out. It's a very Taylor Swift colour so I may use it in an upcoming tutorial. 

The final lipstick I picked up is a blogger and Youtuber favourite and that is Rimmel Kate 01. This is a true blue red and I have seen so many bloggers use it and it seems to look great on everyone. This might just be my Holy Grail red. I haven't found a blue red lipstick that I love so I have high expectations for this one (my favourite orangey-red is Bite Beauty's Matte Lip Colour in Maraschino). I believe this a matte lipstick so I think it will have great staying power which is good for long nights out   school days.

Above are all the lipsticks swatched, the Rimmel lipsticks are all super creamy and very pigmented. The Maybelline lipstick took a couple swipes to get a really good swatch.

I also picked up some new concealer. I was in the market for a full coverage concealer, as right now I am just using a sheer/highlighting one. After doing my research this one was the winner and it is Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer. A tiny drop goes a very long way and so will your $6. I bought it in the shade Medium/Light so it may be a tad dark, but with blending I'm sure it will be fine. If not I'm really not too upset about going and also buying the shade lighter (I really can't get over the $6 price tag).

The picture to the right shows it swatched, and it feels very creamy, blendable, and light. The concealer also comes with a little concealer pencil which will be great to run along the lipline to create a highlight. It would also work well inside the lower waterline.

I'm going to leave with a shot of my nails today, I went with a bright Barbie pink and I just had to show you. I'm wearing Sally Hanson's Hot Magenta Polish, and I think it is a great match for my new fuchsia lipstick. Cue matching lips and nails post. 

That's all for today! Hope you are having a great last weekend of 2014.
