Recently, my local Walmart did their Wet N Wild display and there were quite a few new products on the shelves - so of course I had to reign myself in from buying a little bit of everything. I did, of course, pick up a few things though and two of those things are the Wet N Wild Megalast Lipsticks - available in high shine and matte finishes. Admittedly, at just over $4 each, I was tempted to go mad with lipstick buying power like I once would have, but I decided to be good and just try one of each to see how I liked the formulas.

These days, I don't jump to pick up all of the new drugstore releases the way that I used to - the size of my collection has definitely led me to be a little bit more discerning about what I spend my money on - but as soon as I saw the new Essence Insta-Care Lipsticks on the shelf I knew I was absolutely going to be picking up a couple to try out.  I went with the two more nude shades because I knew that those were the ones I was most likely to reach for as well as being the shades I figured I would like most in a nourishing type of formula like the ones these seemed to be.

I feel like there have probably been a lot of these types of posts in the past few weeks since all of the controversy started with Jaclyn Cosmetics and the... dubious condition of a lot of the lipsticks that customers received. Admittedly, I was pretty interested to watch the bonfire myself. But really, the more I thought about it, I really wanted to go into my collection and share some of my personal favorite nude lipsticks on a spectrum from very, very light to deeper and richer. I don't really want to comment on anything to do with the JC launch or any of the issues, but I did want to show you guys some of my absolute favorite nude bullet lipsticks.

When it comes to my luxury Wish List, there are really a lot of things from Charlotte Tilbury on that list. Until now, I hadn't owned anything from the brand because I don't have a local stockist and I like to swatch and test higher end products before I pick them up. However, I've had Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipsticks* in my cart more than a few times in the past, because they've pretty much topped my wishlist for quite some time now. Recently, I finally got the chance to try them out and I'm over the moon excited.

I have to be honest, when I first heard about the new Maybelline The Loaded Bolds Collection, I really didn't think there was going to be much for me there since I've definitely become more of a nude/mauve lipstick kind of girl. To my surprise, this is a really full range with a selection of both really wearable shades as well as some over the top shades that are beautiful, but that I'd never wear. Though I'm always tempted to buy those shades specifically to feature them here on the blog, I tend not to just because I know they'll go to waste once I write about them and I'm actually trying really hard to be less wasteful with my makeup collection.  I decided to pick up the two shades that really called to me, so I grabbed #770 Mauve It and #820 Berry Boss.

If I were to name the top drugstore makeup trends for spring 2015, it would probably be a tie for the top spot between liquid lipsticks and contour products. I swear, they're blowing up and every brand seems to be releasing their own version. Because I'm vaguely obsessed with drugstore lip products, I've been grabbing them like crazy whenever I see them. This is why, of course, I couldn't resist picking up the Hard Candy Velvet Matte Mousse Lip Color in Cherry Blossom as soon as I saw it at Walmart. And by as soon as I saw it, I mean that I saw the box full of the new Hard Candy products waiting to be unpacked and I rummaged through it like a fiend. Is that bad? Anyway, I've been trying this out and I'm definitely ready to let you know what I think of it.
