Oldie But Goodies!

I was cleaning up and decluttering my makeup collection the other day and rediscovered some great products I had completely forgotten about! One of the main reasons that I decided to go on a no buy was that very reason!  I have so many wonderful products that get lost in the shuffle because of the newer items that I add in.

Here is the look that I came up with using my oldie but goodie products.

 

Some much-loved makeup! I have a lot of products, so when I hit pan this hard you know that they have got to be great products!

Here is a list of the products worn in this look:

Benefit Porefessional primer
Real Techniques Beauty Sponge
Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless shade 120
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in brightener
Rimmel Stay Matte Setting Powder
NYC Cosmetics Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny
Wet N Wild Color Icon Blusher in Pearlescent Pink (old packaging and shade, so much better than the new shade)
Wet N Wild Single Eyeshadow in Creme Brulee
Clinique Stay the Day Eyeshadow in 01 Blushing Nude (I’m pretty sure this isn’t even available anymore.)
Wet N Wild Petal Pusher Palette
Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Mulberry
Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara
Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks#450 Mauve Mania

Recently I have been using BB creams and had completely stopped using both my real techniques beauty sponge as well as this Maybelline Matte and Poreless Fit Me Foundation.  Both are such great products.

I had completely forgotten about my Wet N Wild Petal Pusher Palette!  I enjoyed using it just as much as I remembered, I’ll be adding this back into my rotation.  These purple and pink shades compliment my brown eyes so nicely!

 

I just heard that NYC Cosmetics will definitely no longer be sold in the US. I’m so upset about this since this bronzer is one of my favorites as well as the NYC loose setting powder and the liquid liner. (NYC will still be sold in Canada, this is one time that you Canadians luck out ;-))

Mauve Over! Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks

maybelline sensational lipsticks | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comI am a big fan of Maybelline, they offer so many great makeup products at a reasonable price.

I’m very particular when it comes to the way that lip products feel on my lips. I do not like lipsticks that make my lips feel dry and uncomfortable.  I hate it when my lips hurt for days after wearing a lip product.  I haven’t found that to be an issue with the Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks.  They are so smooth and comfortable to wear. After I tried my first shade I liked it so much that I went back and purchased three more!

When it come to choosing a lipstick shade I always find myself leaning towards mauve.  Mauve is a color that can have a wide range of shades.  Magnificent Mauve #430 is a lighter pink based mauve, while Mauve It Up #440 is a more purple/blue berry toned mauve. Mauve Mania #450 is a reddish mauve.  On the Mauve #445 is my favorite.  It has purple/brown under toned and is just beautiful.  With its blue tinge it makes my teeth look whiter. There are several other different shades, formulas, and finishes of mauve to choose from the Lip Sensational Lipsticks.

Maybelline Mauve | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

If you are not interested in Mauve, I recommend you check out some of the other 32 Lip Sensational Lipsticks shades.  They are so rich in pigment and creamy in texture!   With 32 different shades available from light corals and nudes to deep vampy purple reds, you are bound to find a perfect shade for you.

Have you ever tried any of the Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks?  What is your go to lipstick shade? What is your favorite type of lipstick finish? What is your favorite brand of lipstick? Let me know in the comment section below.
