Yummy411- Drugstore Paparazzi NYX
This isn't new, but since forever, this image of this chick has made me aspire to be a bronze beauty goddess. Isn't she just gorgeous?! We know that companies and pics lie, so I've never picked up a PP bronzer. I've heard all the raves of the shimmer/bronze strips, but I have enough already for a lifetime!
Here's more from Jesse's Girl, though these shades aren't new and are found in the regular lineup. However, the eye shadow transformer is. Hmm, I'll pass on the $5.99 price tag with my glycerin at home. Anyone have experience with this or packaged transformers and how they compare with DIY transformers? (Kris, check the Jean Nate' bubble bath to the right, in HUGE bottles LOL!)
Maite presents NYX! Finally, on shelves near me! Pictured- glitter pencil sticks. I picked up the green and white pencils. I love glitter. Not for all over shimmer, but as accents with makeup for more dimension. Black glitter on a smokey eye.. yum! I wish they would have sold a black glitter =/ Reatil $3.49. The stick spreads the glitter evenly without the color of the actul stick being prominent. Staying power? Hmmm, a lot left to be desired. UDPP opens a world of possibilites, so we shall see.
Blusher and bronzer oh my! I swatched the darkest bronzer mosaic pot and it seemed a bit light. I think it would work well on me, but I'm not so certain for darker skintones. The pinker blush may work.. try it for yourself! I got a small drugstore haul. I would like to use some of the items for a bit longer before reviewing.
Tried any of this stuff? What's new in your neck of the woods and what should I look out for at my drugstore?
