Hey Maybelline, L’Oreal, Almay, Just Over Here Checking Your Pulse! You Guys Ok?

Summer is almost here and its been a little (A LOT) slow in the world of drugstore makeup lately hasn’t it? Remember how many seasonal and limited edition collections we’d get from Maybelline and L’Oreal? It seemed like every time you hit up the drugstore there was some new collection that popped up.

Overall, I think that many brands not just drugstore ones have slowed their roll. The releases don’t come as fast and furious as they once did! I have to say I am pretty surprised how slow things are going in Maybelline-land though! It’s been a really long while since they graced us with a brand new collection likewise for L’Oreal who has a few new releases here and there but not a solid big launch!

But as I said Summer is here maybe we can expect some new stuff from all these brands!

What would you like to see? Or are you not even a fan of drugstore makeup?

Do share!

As for me, I’m still waiting for cushion blushes to finally grace US shores (L’Oreal already has one in Japan how about a few here in the US?)! Cream eyeshadows would be nice! I’d love to see those make a comeback in the drugstore world. And maybe some sort of groundbreaking concealer!

Either way, I’d just like to see some new drugstore makeup! Feels forever since we saw a major launch from certain brands!

3 stars out of 5

Revlon Crystal Aura Glow Lip Oil ($9.99) is a new, limited edition fluid lip oil infused with rose quartz that launched with the Revlon Crystal Aura Makeup Collection for Spring 2019.

It’s been a little slow going in the drugstore makeup world lately but Revlon’s Crystal Aura Collection had some interesting items that I purchased when it was still very much available on Ulta’s website. Since the launch the collection has made its way to mass drugstores and is still pretty much available but it is limited edition so if you see it do grab the items you want before they disappear.

Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture So Extra Drenched Hydration Buttery Conditioner Review

5 stars out of 5

Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture So Extra Drenched Hydration Buttery Conditioner ($22) is a new deep conditioner that I recently purchased at Sephora. The name drew me in because when I was like 12 I wrote an essay on Madam C.J. Walker. See? Even way back I was obsessed with beauty! Madam C.J. Walker was a political and social activist but also, an African American business woman who sold developed and sold her own line of hair care around 1905. Now, Madam Walker has long since left us but this hair care line is inspired by her.

Madam C.J. Walker Beauty was created for those with textured hair but I have drier, very wavy hair and never had a problem using brands like Carol’s Daughter, Shea Moisture, etc…! I always find the formulas rich yet gentle on my hair!

Speaking of gentle, this formula is SUPER gentle!

Wet n Wild Perfect Pout Lip Color Review & Swatches

5 stars out of 5

I picked up a few shades of the new Wet n Wild Perfect Pout Lip Color Lipstick ($3.99) that launched a several weeks ago on the brand’s website. At $3.99 each these seemed like a good pick up as the creamy, lightweight formula that Wet n Wild promised sounded like something I’d love.

Not to mention they tempted me with a creamy texture that had hydrating ingredients like Murumuru Seed Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Argan Oil, and Macadamia Oil. As someone with drier lips they sounded great!
