Swatch Central!


So it's Swatch time again! If you've seen my recent ULTA Haul (http://truebeautylieswithinyou.blogspot.com/2013/02/ulta-haul-new-products.html) or follow me on instagram (http://instagram.com/toabeautifulyou) you'll already know that I picked up some awesome beauty products, but I thought it would be great to give them each a better debut by showing some swatches :)

Let's start off with Foundation:
First up, Tarte Maracuja Miracle Foundation in Fair-
This is a moisturizing 12 hour, full coverage liquid foundation that's infused with Maracuja Oil. The Maracuja oil has been known to help reduce redness, irritation, skin inflammation and increase hydration among many other benefits. Plus, this foundation is formulated without tons of harmful chemicals such as Parabens. This foundation is available at Ulta, sephora and tartecosmetics.com

Next, Stila Stay All Day Foundation & Concealer in Fair 2(and brush set)-
This was an awesome buy (from ULTA) I purchased this little guy without realizing that it also came with a concealer (and brush)!
This foundation is oil-free, leaves a flawless finish that "stays all day" it also helps to nourish the skin and prevent premature aging! The concealer is extremely creamy and full coverage with vitamins and is also oil-free. This trio is available at ULTA.

Another foundation that is fairly new on the market is Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup in 110 Ivory-
This foundation feels light and blends seamlessly into skin giving a natural, but buildable finish.
I found this at Target.

Next up isn't a foundation, but rather a BB Cream; Revlon Photoready BB Cream in Light-
Another new product on the market, this BB Cream is not only lightweight but also has SPF 30! Its like makeup + sunscreen in one!

Now it's concealer time! First up is Revlon ColorStay Under Eye Concealer in Fair-
This concealer helps to naturally conceal under eye circles while helping to protect against the sun with SPF 15.

A new concealer on the market is Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot in Fair-
This product not only helps to conceal dark spots, but it also helps to fight the appearance over time. So really, it's a Treatment Corrector that has Vitamin C + Goji Berry (to help eventually 'erase' those dark spots) but it will still effectively conceal the blemish! I think this is an awesome product and I'm going to give it a try to see how well it works.

The last concealer is L'Oreal True Match super-blendable crayon concealer in fair/light n1-2-3-
This product I'm really excited about because I've never used a crayon concealer before. The tip of the crayon allows you to conceal smaller blemishes while the side of the crayon can be used over a larger area of the skin, making it easier to control and customize application. It also is build-able so you can use only a light amount or apply more for fuller coverage.

For lip products I'm elated to share the new Maybelline Color Whispers! These babies are awesome. First up;
85 Berry Ready- (beautiful berry red, no shimmer)
75 Rose of Attraction- (rose pink with shimmer)
65 Pink Possibilities- (hot pink, no shimmer)
60 Petal Rebel- (super cute pink, this is my favorite)
They feel great, glide on effortlessly and give the perfect color payoff. I think I might have a new addiction ^-^

Well that's it for today's post. I hope you find these swatches helpful and I highly suggest to check out the new Color Whispers from Maybelline (hey, there's a reason I saved them for last- gotta save the best for last ya know ;D). Thanks for stopping by and until next time, I hope you have a beautiful day!
