New Products!

I was going to wait until the end of the month to share what new products I have tried but I have tried a lot in the last couple of weeks. I also do not plan on trying any more new things this month so I am doing it early. Some of these products I like and some I do not like.

Nail polish
Wet n’ Wild Megalast nail polishes in Bite the Bullet 207B, Wet Cement 201C, I Need a Refresh-Mint 218A, and On a Trip 213C.
  • I love the Megalast collection! The applicator brush is one of the best things. It is a bigger brush which makes it go on so much smoother and in fewer coats.
 
The first two in the picture I have not tried yet.
From right to left: Silvivor, Blue Wants to Be a Millionaire, Wet Cement, Bite the Bullet, On a Trip, and I Need a Refresh-Mint.  

I Need a Refresh-Mint and On a Trip.
 
Bite the Bullet and Wet Cement
 
Hair Products
Pureology Serious Colour Care Essential Repair Condition Apres Shampoo (what a mouthful)
  • I had some samples laying around from my hair dresser and I decided that I should probably use them. So I tried this. It was not anything special. I did not really see a difference in my hair...so it is not worth buying a full size.
 
Dove Hair Therapy Refresh + Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo
  • It says it is supposed to refresh and revive hair between regular showering. I used this today and I love the smell. I am going to try it again before actually saying it works because today has been three days since I have washed my hair. Next time I will try it on the second day and see if I think it works. Anyways love the smell!
 
 
Conair Bobby Pin Container
  • I got this because I am constantly loosing bobby pins. So far I think this would be great to keep them together in a drawer, in your purse, or travel.

 
Skin
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
  • This was also a sample. The little packet it came in, said it can be used to treat problem dry skin, split cuticles, chapped lips, eczema, and sunburns. When I got it I thought ok great maybe I can use this on my elbows. My elbows are always dry and rough, does not matter what I try. So I tried this the first time and the smell is weird. I thought if it works I can get over the smell. I tried it three times and I did not see any difference in my skin.
 
Teeth
Luster Premium White Power White Daily Fluoride Toothpaste.
  • It says it is an enamel-safe dentist peroxide formula and removes surface stains as well as deep stains. I think this works pretty well. After I brushed my teeth it felt like I had just been to the dentist. Only thing I did not like was when I opened it for the first time compressed air came out and the tube was really only half full. So I paid for air....not cool.
 
Makeup
I have been loving Physicians Formula Makeup. So glad I found this new brand!
 
Physicians Formula Organic Wear Lash Boosting Mascara.
  • I  have heard great things about this mascara. Something that appealed to me is it is organic. It says it is 100% free from hash chemical, synthetic preservative, parabens, clumping, smudging, flaking, fibers, and dyes. It also says that it makes lashes longer, thicker and more dramatic looking. I tired this and I love it! It does not clump, smudge, flake, or make my lashes hard. I would not say it made my lashes any longer but I already have really long lashes. Something I really liked about this was the big brush and packaging.
 
 
 
Top to bottom: Physicians Formula and Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express
 
Physicians Formula Eye Definer Felt Tip Eye Maker Liquid Eyeliner
  • I heard good things about this too and decided to try it. It says it is easy to apply, smudge proof, smear proof, fade proof, and fool proof. It also says it is easy to make a fine line or bold line. I did not like this. I had to keep going over and over it to make it dark enough. It was not an easy application like it says. This product is not for me. 
 
 
Top to bottom: One is just a quick swipe across the skin, several thin swipes, and several thick swipes.
 
Physicians Formula Powder Multi-Colored Pressed Powder in Creamy Natural for Light Skin Tones
  • I just wanted to try a cheaper powder and so I decided to try this since it was on sale. I love the packaging for this product; the powder is on top but them flips up with a mirror on the other side. This would be great to keep in my purse. Unfortunately it is too light for my skin. I might be able to use this when I am more pale but for now it is too light.
 
 

 
Physicians Formula Powder Multi-Colored Pressed Powder in Buff for Light to Medium Skin Tones
  • So I went back to get a darker color and this one matches my skin tone better.
 

 
Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Powder in Translucent
  • I bought this to use as a highlight for my cheeks or brows. The packaging is so cute, practical, and easy to throw into my purse. I do not know if it really boosts your mood but it smells good. It says it has a sweet sent of Violet which I like. 
 

 

Top to bottom: Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Powder, Multi-Colored Pressed Powder in Buff, and Multi-Colored Pressed Powder in Creamy Natural.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in Cherish 015 and Honey 001
  • I watch this one Youtuber and she is always talking about these balm stains. She was absolutely loving these. So I was at CVS the other day and they were on sale buy 1 get on 50% off so I bought these two. I really like these. It goes on more like a balm and smells a bit like menthol (its not bad). It last a long time as well. I would say after about 8 hours the color is still there but I wanted to reapply because it was a bit more faded and dried out.
 

Left to Right: Cherish and Honey
 
Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil Pure White 071
  • I do not have a picture of this one, sorry. I bought this to use in my water line to make my eyes look bigger and more awake.
Maybeline Line Express Eyeliner in Soft Black 902
  •  I do not have a picture of this one either, sorry. I bought this just a basic eyeliner.  
Deluxe Lux Purple Glitter Makeup Pouch
  • I actually traveled with this over spring break so technically it is not a new product for this month. I love it. It is the perfect size for my everyday makeup!

 
 
Almost all of these products can be bought at Wal-Mart, CVS, or Target. I bought the makeup pouch online at Little Black Bag, it is not available anymore on their website.
 

Ok that was a lot but that is a rare occurrence for me to try that many new things in a month. Keep checking back for new blog postings. I have some ideas in mind for the next couple of blogs. If you have any suggestions for products you think I would like or blog posting ideas, comment below. Thanks again for reading!

  1. Yay for trying new products! I bought a new shaving cream and a new razor recently, and that's it for my new product buying. However, I do like this razor way better as it gets a closer, sharper shave, and the shaving cream spreads way better than my previous one did. I love those nail polish colors. I would try them all, but especially I Need a Refresh-Mint.

    So what's up with the all nails except one in a different color? I've seen it around a bit, and I'm assuming it's a new trend.
