First of all, Happy Memorial Day and a big thank you to all the men and women who have served and who currently serve this amazing country! I cry almost every time I hear veteran stories because I have so much respect for those who serve, it brings me to tears every time. It amazed me how selfless these people are in a time when the majority of the population is so selfish. Anyway, if you currently serve or have served, thank you. You have the utmost respect from me and my family.
Today, I’m sharing some new Drugstore products that I have recently begun testing. There are some products that I love and one that is heading back to Ulta {yuck}!
1.Maybelline Master Contour Kit. I actually really love this kit! I have been looking for a good contour kit for awhile and didn’t want to spend too much money. These colors are moderately pigmented and go on really smoothly. I love the blush and the contour color! The highlighter isn’t my favorite, but it dos a decent job. I’m so in love with this highlighter, I don’t think I’ll ever love another one the same way. I chose the Light to Medium kit and it was perfect for my skin tone.
2.Revlon Ultra HD Matter Lip Color. Absolutely HATE this product. Hate is a strong word, I know, and Hubs would probably say I’m being dramatic, but I really did not like this product the second I put it on. First of all, the brush is supper difficult to use. I’m very picky about having clean lines when it comes to my lipstick and I couldn’t get one using this awful brush. Secondly, the color is very creamy and does not stay on at all. It was all over my tea cup even after I let the product dry for 5-10 minutes. Overall, I’m not a fan and this product is going back to Ulta ASAP! By the way, Utla has an amazing 90 day return policy where you can return any item {used or not} within 90 days of purchase. Thank goodness for that!
3.Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara. I like this mascara. Is it the best? No. It does a good job of separating and lengthening my lashes and the color is very black {which I love}. Overall, I would recommend this mascara however I still think this product from my previous Drugstore Beauty Buys post is the best.
4.Maybelline Master Prime Face Primer. I like this product as well. I’m not huge on makeup primers and I really loved how this product went on similar to a moisturizer. I didn’t really notice a difference in the application of my makeup however the makeup did stay on pretty well. I usually use setting powder so I’m not sure if the primer or the setting powder helped the makeup stay on well. If you are looking for a good primer, I would recommend this one.
5.Loreal Voluminous Superstar Liquid Eyeliner. I have mixed opinions on this eyeliner. The brush is somewhat difficult to use. I found that it was slightly harder to get clean lines using this product. It is very pigmented however which is great. I like this eyeliner and will continue to use it, but there may be better products out there.

I am working at the hospital today so hopefully the day won’t be too bad. I hope all of you have an amazing and relaxing Memorial Day!
