Maybelline came out with a new Color Sensational collection called the "VIVIDS". The colors are all daring, eye popping and strikingly bold! There are 10 shades in the entire line ranging in bright pinks, fuchsias, oranges and reds. Definitely will keep your heads turning. I decided to pick up a few to see what the rave was all about. On with the review...
#870 Shocking Coral - Pinky Coral, very bold and bright! (My fav)
#885 Vibrant Mandarin - Orange/Red, bold and fierce shade
Swatches (Top to Bottom) Vibrant Mandarin & Shocking Coral.
Comparison: The two shades and MAC Watch Me Simmer.
Watch Me Simmer looks like the combo of the two shades combined. Gorgeous!

★ CONS: NONE

★ RATING: A+
★ OVERALL: Very impressed with this collection. This wouldn't be your everyday lipstick color but definitely something to wear on a night out. It's extremely pigmented and smooth on the lips. One swipe and it's fully covered. Only picked up two shades for now to review them but after trying it out, I am going to grab a few more shades! Only issue is to decide which colors to get...isn't that always the issue? Luckily these are in the permanent line and not limited edition. You have plenty of time to grab them! Nobody would believe you're wearing a drugstore lipstick. Hey MAC... you're not that special anymore! ha ha

Awesome deal I just figured out for anyone who's interested in purchasing these Loreal Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stains. I have been debating for weeks on getting these or not. They are considered YSL Glossy Stain Dupes and that really caught my attention. When I found out they were $9.99, I sort of hesitated at first. After numerous amount of googling and looking over reviews/swatches, I gave in ONLY because I came up with this fantastic "DEAL" scenario. For me, It's a "must" to justify the purchase somehow with a double/triple deal. Can't stand paying retail when I know there's a way around it to save even more. ha ha
With that being said, I really got sold when I saw my dear friend/blogger Angie's swatches on her amazing blog VANITY|ROUGE. She has one of the best review/swatches/photos of these lippies on her blog. She chose 4 of my fav colors that I ended up buying as well. Go check it out and be sure to tell her "Julie" sent you. Thanks a bunch! xoxo
On with the deal scenario...
- Walgreens is having a Buy 1 Get 1 1/2 off SALE on Loreal products
- All beauty, personal care, and fragrances are 20% off - code (PRETTY)
- Free Shipping on orders $25 or more - no code needed
- Ebates Cash Back - 3.5% - Sign up here
What I did was choose 4 of the Loreal lippies. I got the shades Endless Red, Rose On and On, Berry Persistent, and Pink Resistance. Two were $9.99 and the other two were 1/2 off at $4.99. Then I was left about $1 and some change to qualify for FREE SHIPPING. So I browsed around for something cheap and found some Wet n Wild Mega Last lipsticks on SALE for $1.69! Score! I've always wanted to try these out so it was perfect. After the B1G1 deal, 20% off discount and taxes, the total amount was at $27.40. Then you will get 3.5 % ($.89) cash back from eBates later on. Below is a screen shot proof of this quadruple deal! (click to enlarge) ^___^
Isn't that pretty awesome? Now I don't feel so bad buying these... hahaha Seriously can't wait till they come in so I can try them out and review them for you as well. Now who's going to jump on this deal? The 20% off code lasts till this Saturday Jan. 12th. The B1G1 deal is over Saturday as well. Hurry! :)
For those that already purchased these lip stains, what shades did you get? Which ones are your most fav/least fav? Share with me.
Xoxo,
Julie P.
