Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's blog post is about two new lipstick launches at the drugstore, the Covergirl Katy Kat Matte Lipsticks and the Maybelline Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lipsticks. I stumbled upon these releases at my local Target, where they were both out on display together. I was immediately intrigued by both collections and picked out three colors that I knew I would be interested in. Let's look at the claims for both lipsticks!

Review: Colourpop Cosmetics New Fall Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks


If you haven't read my blog post/review of the Colourpop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks then click here and basically you'll know that I love them. So when Colourpop came out with new shades for the fall, I just had to grab them!

The new colors that I picked up are Clueless, BeeperKapow, and Bad Habit. These four liquid lipstick shades are all perfect for the fall. First off the bat, they are the classic Colourpop matte liquid lipstick formula that I love. They come in the same packaging as all the other permanent liquid lipsticks. I'm not sure if these four colors are going to be part of the permanent collection but so far on their website they are still stocked.

Here are what all new four shades looked like swatched. 




From left to right is Clueless, Beeper, Kapow, and Bad Habit.

 If you want to see what all four looks like on my lips, swatched, and how I feel about them please click on read more below!

Review: Colourpop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick


Happy Monday beautiful's! Let's grab a cup of coffee and talk about the one beauty item that I cannot wait to get more of, liquid lipsticks. Okay, so let's think about around the end of May into June when Colourpop Cosmetics launched their own line of Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks. Here are the top three thoughts that crossed my mind.

1) How much is it?!

2) What are the color shades?!

3) HOW CAN I BUY THIS RIGHT NOW?!?!?!?

For hours, I researched on Youtube for any lip swatches of all the shades Colourpop was intending to release so that I could pick out the colors that I really wanted. If I had it my way I would have honestly bought the entire line because each was only $6 but of course I'm a broke college student and if I were to do that, no matter how amazing the price was, it seriously takes a toll on my wallet. So after hours of searching I narrowed down my choices to five that I thought I would wear often. 

But getting those five were a nightmare. The moment the liquid lipsticks launched on their website, it was impossible to get any order in. But I persevered on because that's what a makeup enthusiast (aka addict) does! I WANTED--nope NEEDED these liquid lipsticks and I didn't care how long it would take for me to get them. After probably two whole hours on the website, I finally got to place my order!

So the five liquid lipsticks that I purchased are Tulle, Bumble, Trap, Highball and LAX. These are the colors that I thought I would wear the heck out of. So please click on read more if you want to find out my thoughts on these Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks!

Review & Swatches: Rimmel Showoff Matte Lip Velvet's


Hello everyone and welcome back to a review and swatches post! Today, I'll be talking about the new Rimmel Showoff Matte Lip Velvet's. These are fairly new at the drugstore and are the sister product to the Rimmel Showoff Lip Lacquers that came out when we first started our blog. Those lip lacquers may be our first blog post ever, so getting the new ones felt pretty sentimental...well to me it does. 

Anyways, I heard about these new Rimmel Showoff's from a number of Youtube videos but I felt, knowing my area, that it would have probably been sold out already. So honestly I wasn't even going to buy them. But then, I went to Walgreens to get batteries for my brother's Christmas present (which is a coin counter lol) and literally saw all the new Rimmel Showoffs, completely in stock. Without even hesitating, I got three of the colors that I was most interested in out of the five shades they offered. The three colors that I got are Atomic Rose, Meteoric Matte, and Burning Lava. I am so super excited about these new lippies and so here are the claims.

Claims: Matte to the future! Show off lip color now with new velvety matte finish. Weightless liquid colour with a velvety smooth finish. Earth-shattering intense colour stays true for up to 8 hours. Moisturizing formula instantly increases lip moisture by 31%. 

So those are all the claims, let's get on with the review!

Rimmel BB Cream Matte & Radiance Review


Hello everybody! I have a new product to review today it is the Rimmel BB Cream in Matte and Radiance. I saw these new BB Creams while I was gift shopping at Ulta and it looked like the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation, so I thought it would be an interesting thing to try. 

Both BB Cream's have similar packaging except for the Radiance BB Cream having an orange lid and the Matte BB Cream having a purple lid. They both have similar claims as well.

Review: Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation & Stay Matte Primer


Welcome to another review here on Amaryllis Living. Does anyone find these helpful? Leave a comment below and let us know. We'd love the feedback!

Today, I'm bringing you a review on the new Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation and Stay Matte Primer. These are two very unique items from the drugstore because it's not everyday that you get to see completely matte products there. Of course I had to pick these up because not only did this intrigue me but Walgreens had a dollar off coupon for any of the stay matte products. So, I obviously had to take advantage. 

So let's get on with the review!

January Drugstore Makeup Find Of The Month: Maybelline

Hello everyone! This is a new 'segment' on our blog where I talk of some interesting beauty finds at the drugstore. This isn't necessarily a full on review but more like a first impression but less critical. Does that make sense?

Here's what I found interesting at the drugstore:
