small drugstore haul

Last night I went to Walgreens for some late night snacks and picked up a few things from Revlon that Ive been searching for. The things I picked up are:

Revlon Creme Gloss in 005 Crush on Coral
Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer in Blackened Brown
Wet n Wild Bronzer in Goddess

Ive been looking for a milky coral lip gloss for the longest and seen that Revlon had one called crush on coral. Ive been debating whether I should pick one up or not then gave in when I seen it was on clearance. We went to Walmart first because I wanted to try some things from NYC but our Walmart didn't carry that brand :( The makeup aisle was a mess! Everything I wanted from Revlon was sold out except the Creme Gloss in Crush on Coral. There was one left of that but I didn't buy it because it looked too orange, not milky and shimmery like the ones I seen at Walgreens.

You know how makeup at Walmart is usually cheaper than Walgreens, Target etc...? I wonder if its because they sell defective ones. I know that when I used to work at Nordstrom Rack the ladies would go crazy over the seven jeans they sold there but I later found out that the Rack sells the jeans so cheap b/c they were either slightly defective or out of season. I wonder if Walmart does the same thing b/c the color of that creme gloss looked really off...

Anyhoo, here is my quick review and some swatches...

Wet N Wild Bronzer in Goddess
This I plan to use as a contour. I was a little upset to find that it had shimmer in it when I swatched it but I'll test it out for awhile and see how I like it. I'm very pleased with the color though. One thing to note is that the packaging is very difficult to open, but I guess that goes with the price. I think this was only $3.29 or something like that





Revlon Creme Gloss on Crush on Coral
I love this color! Its goes on lighter than it appears to be. I wanted a coral lip gloss and swatched Revlon's Coral Reef but that was too orange for me. This is the perfect color BUT it smells soooooo gross! like plastic but stinky plastic, and as with all twist up gloss its takes like 50 million twists to get the product out. The color is spot on what I was looking for but I don't know if I could take the wretched stench of this

Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer in Blackened Brown
I fell in love with Revlon's ColorStay line after I tried the foundation so I figure Id give the Brow Enhancer a try. Since I'm growing my brows I wasn't looking for a product to draw them in, rather just a tint to give my brows definition. I thought this would be perfect because its a brow wax. Unfortunately the wax draws dark like a crayon. The highlight side I didn't really care much for, its shimmery so I wouldn't use it everyday. Nice color though. I think I'm gonna give this a try for a few more days and if I'm still not satisfied I see if anyone else wants it
