Walgreens Spring Makeup Look!

Walgreens_CornerOf_Lockup-HorizStagger_Multi_RGB drugstore-beauty-2014 I generally try to avoid the local drugstore. It’s not that I don’t love it, but rather that I love it a bit too much, and seem to get trapped in some sort of time vortex once I start browsing. I can spend hours wandering the beauty aisles! I’m not one to pass up a challenge, so when Walgreens Beauty (through POPSUGAR Select) provided us with a list of items to incorporate into a Spring makeup look, I was all over it! Click HERE to check out Walgreens Beauty Deals!Confession: Once I found the items for my new makeup look, I did indeed spend an extra 30-45 minutes there, simply browsing the selection. There are so many fun makeup goodies to choose from! I also signed up for the Walgreens Balance Rewards program before checking out. Why? Not only can you earn points toward future gift certificates, you even get to use paperless coupons during checkout.

Introducing The Team

Curve It Hair Styling Cream, L'Oreal Colour Riche Lip Stain, L'Oreal Miracle Blur Eye Cream, and L'Oreal Butterfly Mascara — The Team: Curve It Hair Styling Cream, L’Oreal Colour Riche Lip Stain, L’Oreal Miracle Blur Eye Cream, and L’Oreal Butterfly Mascara

Nivea Kiss of Color, A Kiss of Care & Color Lip Care — Nivea: A Kiss of Care & Color Lip Care

Above are images of some of the products I incorporated into my new Spring look: L’Oreal Butterfly Mascara, L’Oreal Colour Riche Lip Stain, L’Oreal Miracle Blur Eye Cream, L’Oreal Curve It Hair Styling Cream, and NIVEA A Kiss of Care & Color Lip Care.

Step 1 to achieve my look is to protect the pucker with NIVEA Color Lip Care! The NIVEA product is not new to me. As you’ve gathered from reading this blog, my love-affair with NIVEA was rekindled, and I’ve been using NIVEA lip care product all winter long to protect my lips from becoming overly dry and chapped. It’s easy to remember this step if you buy NIVEA A Kiss of Care & Color and carry it in your bag, because this balm leaves behind a gorgeous trace of color. My favorite shade is Sheer Berry, but Sheer Coral is also perfect for Spring.

Step 2 is to apply L’Oreal Curve It Curl Taming Cream to damp hair after you shower. One pump is all that is necessary. Start application at roots and work upward. I have naturally curly hair that I usually wear straight, and this product is amazing for taming frizz and leaving hair smooth and shiny.

Step 3 is to apply L’Oreal Miracle Blur Eye Cream under the eyes on clean, dry skin. This oil-free under-eye moisturizer can be worn both under makeup or applied at night. It’s not only an anti-aging treatment, Miracle Blur Eye Cream provides some instant camouflage for aging skin using light-diffusing technology.

Step 4, I applied my usual foundation, concealer, powder, eye shadow and eye pencil. Then I got to play with the new L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara. This mascara is crazy efficient at delivering extra length to those outer lashes thanks to the shape of the applicator. The longer bristles of the mascara wand should always be at the outer corner of the eye, making those lashes so long and luxe! The underside of the brush has short bristles, perfect for a quick swipe along the lower lashes.

Step 5 I applied a cream cheek color, and then finished off the look with L’Oreal Colour Riche Lip Stain in Coral Tattoo. This orange hue leans red, and is a great choice to usher in the Spring season. Coral Tattoo instantly brightens any look! Another perk? It wears like a gloss, but delivers the long-lasting color of a stain. I’m crazy about this product, as I don’t have frequent opportunities to reapply my lip color throughout the day.

The Reveal!

I paired my new makeup look with a blue knit top and a tangle of my favorite necklaces.

NARS Instant Line Pore Perfector

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]It is a sad state of affairs, but now that I am in my 40s, I am certainly happy to have products like the new NARS Instant Line Pore Perfector at my disposal. Unlike some pore-minimizing products that come in the form of a thick lotion, the clear crayon format of this new NARS product allows precise application only exactly where needed. It literally couldn’t be easier to use, simply run the slender tip along the lines you are trying to hide, allow the product to set, and then apply your makeup as usual!

This product contains hyaluronic acid to gently plump the area to fill lines, and also contains antioxidants Vitamins A, C and E.

Retail price is $28.

Tarte Colored Clay CC Primer

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]New from tarte! Colored Clay CC Primers! This new product applies to the skin easily, in a chunky crayon-like format. This CC Primer is available in five shades: fair, light, medium, tan, and deep. But there’s a twist! Colored Clay CC Primer also contains a purple highlighting shade to brighten the appearance of the complexion, and a green shade to neutralize redness.

Tarte Colored Clay CC Primer Review

If you have nearly-perfect skin, you can use this new primer stand-alone, as a glorified concealer. Personally, I use it as a first step prior to applying foundation and a powder. I love how this primer neutralizes the redness that I battle daily, with ease! Because the colored clays are kept separate in the product like adorable colorful wedges, you can also focus application on one shade more than another, depending on your complexion needs.
