Maybelline: Fit Me Blush

I've heard a lot about Maybelline's Fit Me collection. I actually bought my very first blush from that collection. Before, I didn't see the need for blush, until I actually tried it and saw it gave me beautiful flushed cheeks. I bought the blush in Deep Rose. It's a really beautiful color. The product promise is that it won't clog pores (check), silky smooth texture and wears evenly (on some days, for me). I bought the product for $4.48.

I have normal to dry skin, so if I don't moisturize enough, my makeup will look a complete mess. This blush isn't chalky, but it doesn't really blend into my skin, even if I did moisturize.

So the hunt for the perfect blush continues. Any suggestions?

Revlon: Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

I bought the balm stain about a month ago and I have to say I actually like it. A year ago, I bought the original Just Bitten Lipstain+Balm. The latter, was horrible. The lipstain was extremely drying, didn't last, didn't even show up on my upper lip, felt like a marker was being dragged on my lips, and the balm FELL off the first time I used it. It wasn't retractable or anything. (Sorry, Revlon)

 But the NEW one, is an upgrade. I bought it in Crush, a pretty berry shade. It's somewhat moisturizing, but since it's a gel formula, it can be drying after a few hours. I have very dry/chapped lips, so I put lip balm beneath the lip color. But let me tell you, IT LASTS FOREVER. (OKAY, 4-7 hours). It's really pigmented, so be careful. It's retractable too :).

Revlon products can be bought at your local drugstore and this product was $8.99
