Product Review: Maybelline Color Show Holographic Nail Laquer in Mystic Green

Maybelline, Maybelline, Maybelline. We need to have a talk. In the past, we've been pretty good buddies, but recently your new collections have been brining me down. First your new Electro Baby Lips left my lips itching for moisture, and then your new Shine-Free Stick Foundation left me rethinking my reflective complexion, and now this holographic polish has left me anything but dazzled. What's going on?

Maybelline claims that Mystic Green is a "holographic"shade, which is total bogus. It's a gorgeous sea green with a slight blue shift, but it's by no stretch of the imagination holographic.

Product Review: Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm in Minty Sheer and Pink Shock (purchased)

Pink Shock and Minty Sheer

The hype surrounding the Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm has stayed pretty consistent during the year or so that they've been on the market. Since Baby Lips and I seemed to get off on the wrong foot during the initial launch, I decided to pick up a few of the new snazzy looking Electro ones to see if there had been any improvements.

Well, to make a long story short; You can put a goat in a suit, but it's still a goat.

Swatches and review after the jump!

Drugstore Sightings + Haul

I went to my local Fred Meyer today just to take a peek at what was going on in the makeup isles and I ended up finding a few new interesting displays!

L'Oreal seems to be churning out new collections and products lately! I managed to come across the new Magic Nude foundation (they're a liquid to powder product... how strange), a few Visible Lift blushes and a whopping two shades of Visible Lift CC Cream, a whole display choc full of new pink lipsticks and Le Glosses, and some new Infallible Vibrant Color lip colors.

Product Review: Total Intensity by Prestige Long Term Relationship Fierce Color Eyeshadow in Hocus Pocus

Before we get into the long bits of this post I have two things to say about this "Total Intensity by Prestige Long Term Relationship Fierce Color Eyeshadow in Hocus Pocus" eyeshadow:

1. The brand and product type name are stupidly long and I will hereby be referring to it as Prestige Hocus Pocus. 
2. Get this. Now. 

The packaging of this eyeshadow isn't anything too terribly exciting beyond the holographic product sticker on the back. The round pan is nestled in the center of the square, plastic packaging. If anything, it's a little excessive. It looks a little ho-hum right now, since it's giving off the illusion of being a deep murky, steely green... but don't let that fool you. The swatch will blow your mind
