Thanksgiving & Black Friday

Hi, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a fun black Friday! I have to confess I didn't take a single photo on Thanksgiving. But, that won't stop me from telling you what I did! My family spent Thanksgiving with our family friends and then for black Friday, I spent the day with my friends out and about at the mall and Target. I found a good amount of presents for my family and friends, so I'm really excited! Other than that, I have been extremely lazy and that is why there is a lack of posting. However, I will be back in a routine soon enough.

Don't forget to be on the lookout for a small giveaway coming soon!

Revlon Colorstay Whipped

Hi, everyone! Today I am going to share a little bit about Revlon's Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation. I bought this for around $12 from Target. I love the idea of the Colorstay formulas and I had tried the liquid foundation so I thought I'd try this one out as well. In my opinion, the packaging is really nice. However, it is very misleading. The packaging is big and somewhat bulky, while the actual amount of product is very little.
To me, the product is very greasy. I have extremely dry skin, so when I put this on it looked moisturizing until it was set and then made my face look dry. I'm not sure what caused this.
It is easily blendable, but I found that I have to use my fingers to apply it and blend it in and then go back and use a brush and a beauty blender. As a college student who needs minimal time to work on my makeup, I'd prefer to have a foundation that I could apply easily with only a brush and not have to worry about blending too much.
Because it is so thick, (it's thicker than yogurt!) it feels really heavy on the skin when it is first applied, but it sinks in and doesn't feel heavy at all afterwards. It does stay true to the name and lasts all day. The color range is pretty good for a drugstore brand. Like I said before, it is easily blendable so don't fret if a shade doesn't perfectly match your skin.
Overall, I'm really impartial to this product. I can't decide whether I like it because the cons balance out the pros.

End of a Break

Hi, everyone! I'm finally back from a little break from blogging. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind, but I'm so happy to be back. I've had a lot of time to think about the future about this blog and I can't wait to share with you all my new ideas. I have a few new things coming up that I think you will enjoy including a giveaway, so stay tuned for that!
For the next week I will be at home spending time with my parents for Thanksgiving while my little sister is on a cruise to the Virgin Islands. Can you say jealous?! However, that means I will have plenty of time to blog and work on all my homework. I'm really looking forward to all the Thanksgiving food and fellowship.
Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for a new product review!

What have you guys been up to the last few weeks?
What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

Product of the Week/3

Hi, everyone! Today's product of the week is Maybelline's Baby Lips Dr. Rescue! I heard people raving about this and knew I had to try this product. I bought this in "Too Cool"and I really really like it. I've gone through half of it in two weeks! I think it's a great chapstick and the packaging is cute too :)

Have you tried Dr. Rescue?
