First Impressions

Ok I know I said I was going to get this post up after finals but right after finals got crazy with graduation....so I am finally getting it up now.

First, I got some more Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Polishes. I got Through the Grapevine 208 B, Haze of Love 215 B, Disturbia 217 B, and Under Your Spell 216 B. If you read my New Product blog in April, you will know I love the megalast nail polishes. So I was really happy when I found these on sale again. Through the Grapevine is a really pretty fuchsia color and it went on very well. Haze of Love is a dark red that is almost a red wine color and this one also went on well. I have had my eye on Disturbia for a while now and so I bought it this time. It is a deep shimmery purple. I was disappointed in this one though. It went on very thin and it took 4 coats to look good, also when it dried all the shimmer was gone. :( I also had my eye on Under Your Spell for a while. I thought it was going to be this dark brown with red shimmer in it. I was sooooooooooo disappointed with this. It went on like a thin black brown with red shimmer. :( :( I am so unhappy with this one I will probably not even wear it again. I usually love the megalast nail polishes but these last two were just not up to par with the others.

Second, I tried the Physicians Formula (PF) Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 in Light to Natural. It is 100% natural and 80 % organic.  It is free of harsh chemicals, parabens, synthetic preservatives, GMO's, synthetic colors and, synthetic fragrances. Plus it is not test on animals (huge plus for us animal lovers). It claims to hydrate skin, even out skin tone, and protect against sun damage. I have been wanting to try a tinted moisturizer for the summer because it would be lighter than the M.A.C. foundation. So I was at CVS when I walked past the PF section and I saw a bunch of things on sale. I saw the tinted moisturizer and was like ok I like PF. What appealed to me was that it was organic, just like the mascara I bought in April. When I opened the bottle it smelled strongly like it is organic which isn't bad. The only thing I would recommend is to apply this in section because it dries and absorbs into your skin pretty fast. It does leave a dewy finish so I went over it with powder to make it more matte. It does oxidize a bit so it makes me look a bit more than I really am. I am not really upset with that but it goes on more like a foundation.

 Third, I bought Wet n Wild Perfect Pair Eye Wand in 105501 and 200901. These are double ended eye wands; one end is an eyeliner and the other is an eye shadow. I thought these would be great for travel because they are compact. The packaging says it is a creamy eye shadow and eyeliner. UH FALSE, they are very dry when they went on and not blend-able. 105501 is a grey eye shadow with a black liner and 200901 is a gold bronze eye shadow with the same color eyeliner. 200901 was  disappointing because I was expecting the eyeliner to be darker than the eye shadow. The only thing I would say is when they are on they appear to be creamy. Not very happy with these at all. I have not worn them since I tried them.

All in all it was kind of hit and miss with these first impressions.

Heads up!

Hey guys,
Sorry it has been a while. It is coming down to the end of school and fortunately this week hasn't been to bad. Most of my major projects were done towards the end of last month so that is why there hasn't been a post in a while. I did want to give you a heads up to a new post coming soon. I bought a few new beauty products and I kind of wanted to do a first impressions post of these products. I am not sure when it is going to get up because I have finals and graduation next week. So...it might get up this weekend but if it doesn't it will be up after next week.
