Mini Drugstore Makeup Haul!

I've been really into drugstore makeup lately. I have never really been interested in anything from the drugstore, but Emilynoel83 on YouTube changed that. I was watching her videos and it just hit me that hey, the drugstore looks like it has some great stuff! I mean what have I been doing all my life pinching pennies to buy all the high end items I want (it's been better since I got a job and I can actually afford to buy makeup) when I can just go to the drugstore and get some really great items at some really great prices. So long story short, that's how I got into drugstore makeup. I would still say I'm a high end girl, but I LOVE some drugstore items as well!
So here are the items I picked up:

First off, I needed a new liquid eyeliner, so I decided to try out this NYC liquid liner since I've heard good things about it. It's really just a standard liquid liner, it reminds me in finish of the Wet n Wild one, it dries to a matte finish. 

Next up, I got this lipstick from the new Maybelline Dare to Go Nude collection. The shade is "Ravishing Rose." It is a lot paler on the lips than I was expecting, but I really like it. It looks pretty topped with Benefit "Life on the A List" or NARS "Giza" gloss. I absolutely LOVE the formula of these Maybelline Color Sensation lipsticks. I have 4 of the vivids collection and I love all of them. The formula is creamy and comfortable on the lips. One of my favorite drugstore products.

I also got a L'oreal Infallible shadow in the shade "Golden Sage" This is my first Infallible and I really do enjoy it. I find them a bit on the expensive side for being a drugstore product seeing as you only get one color, but they are really lovely, quite a soft texture and very pigmented.

I got this Sinful Colors nail polish in "24/7". Right as I was writing this post I realized I already own a shade from Sinful Colors called "24/7." They are both pinks but this new one looks more peachy and less bright then the other one I own. So for that reason I will keep it because I do really love the color. I thought it was odd that the colors were so different with the same name. Anyway I love Sinful Colors nail polishes, they're only $2 and I think they have a lot of really pretty shades with a nice formulation.

Another drugstore favorite of mine is these Hard Candy nail polishes. I love love love Hard Candy polishes. They have the most unique colors at such a reasonable price. Their topcoats are my FAVORITE. They remind me of the Formula X Xplosive topcoats but much cheaper. They have some really unique combinations and they just give you something different than you see in the typical drugstore polish. Can't say enough about Hard Candy polishes! The shade I got this time is "Emerald's Eve." It reminds me a lot of that Deborah Lippmann polish "Shake Your Money Maker" but that one is $19.

I also found these photos of someone else comparing the two:

I also got a pink sparkly eyelash curler from Revlon but I forgot to take pictures of it (oops). I also got the 2 new Spring Wet n Wild palettes, which I didn't include swatches of because I'm going to be making a separate post about them soon. But that's it! I hope you enjoyed this mini haul :) I might be doing another one soon so look out for that.
I hope you had an amazing day, beautiful!
