Haul: new beauty products at the drug store!

Hi everyone
I ran to Walgreens today specifically looking for the new Revlon  lip products since I love Revlon and people had said a lot of good things about their matte lip balms!! So as I was looking for those I totally got side tracked into buying a couple more items, all of which are recently introduced products!!

Hope you enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the Revlon color burst matte balm in the shade : elusive FIRST IMPRESSIONS --  I really enjoy it! It's a very moisturizing balm that is matte. Now it's not as completely matte as something like the NYX matte lipsticks but it is really matte for a lipbalm and totally pigmented! Lots of good shades also;)
Price- 8.99 but if you have a Walgreens card it's only 6.99

Swatch of Revlon color burst matte lipbalm in shade Elusive (has a minty tingly feeling and scent!)

Jordana twist & shine moisturizing lipbalm stain in shades (top to bottom) nude chic and honey love FIRST IMPRESSIONS--  I really think this is a solid dupe for the Revlon just bitten kissable balm stains, but not as pigmented. They have a fruity scent and do stain the lips. My only complaint is that the nude chic shade has shimmer, and actual chunks of glitter which doesn't make application easy, and leaves chunks of glitter on your lips after the shine has worn off. I don't really love the color but its a good product. The other shade isn't like this.  Price 2.99

Cranky girls holiday set of 4 single shadows. FIRST IMPRESSIONS--  I think this set is really cute, and a nice starter set for anyone just starting out with makeup or for a gift! The shadows are nicely pigmented, and the shade range is good. The only shade I have a lot of trouble with is the black shade, it is VERY chalky, sheer and doesn't transfer well with a finger swatch and a brush swatch would be even worse. Shown below is swatches and the very end two are the black swatched with one coat and two coats. I think it's an overall good product but the black is lacking in all categories. (There are not shades, it's just a little set that doesn't have shades or numbers)

Price-- 1.00  for little set available only at Walgreens

De beaute (by profusion) eye shadow palette. Shade 03. FIRST IMPRESSIONS:   I think this a very nice palette for a gift or even for a starter with makeup. The shades are nicely pigmented and creamy and there is a very nice shade range. My complaints are that the layout is cute but not very practical , it's kind of hard to get a brush in the product. And I realized that in Profusion eyeshadows which is the same company that produced the cranky girls shadows that they are very lacking in matte shadows.. The black was very chalky and so was every matte in the other palette
Price-- 1.00 only at Walgreens

Wet n wild Fergie the dutchess' tools luxe brush set includes :: powder brush, blush brush, two eyeshadow brushes, and a brow grooming brush. FIRST IMPRESSIONS- I'm so happy with this purchase, they are so so soft and supple. They have a nice thickness and will be really easy to work with. The eyeshadow brushes will be really good for cream shadow application or concealor, and the face brushes are so multi use. And brow brushes are always good. I have no complaints , and the packaging is adorable, chic, and very professional looking. 
Price-- usually 10 dollars but it was 25% off so I got it for 7.50 available at Walgreens




Hope you enjoyed my haul!!!

Love
Jacy
