Hey y'all!
So I picked up some new goodies at Ulta the other day.
I tried out a few of them today and wanted to do a little first impressions post. 😊
*I wore these products for roughly 7 hours to get a good feel for them & an idea of how they wear.
1. Neutrogena Hydro Boost (Nude 40):
So I'm pretty impressed by this stuff! I applied it with a beauty blender. It applied smoothly, didn't crease, settle, or look cakey. There's really nothing out there that I've tried that I love as much as the Garnier BB Cream for combo to oily skin but this 1 is a contender. It's super comparable; however, it's consistency is thicker and it has more claims that would ultimately be better for your skin.
I have also heard it's a near exact dupe for the $110 La Mer foundation.
(Compliments of ShadesofKassie on YouTube.)
I don't really know if it would necessarily work as well for me in Summer months because I'm more oily and I started to get shiny near the end of the day but it's definitely a winner!
2. Stila Magnificent Metals (Rose Gold Retro):
1 word. Obsessed! Living, Dying, Resuscitating for these!!
These shadows are so gorgeous I really just have no words. My only negative is that it has a bit of fall out that got in my lashes and was slightly blinding. Next time I'm definitely going to try it with a primer, but even if it doesn't help they're totally worth being temporarily blind for!
As far as a similar comp, I think they are in a league of their own, BUT the Maybelline Tattoo Chrome shadows are somewhat similar for a fraction of the price. The Tattoo shadows have more of a gritty glitter texture and are harder to remove hence the name "tattoo", the Stila shadows have a bit of fall out but are far more intense in my opinion.
Swatches comparing the 2 shades I have are below.
TOP: Maybelline "beige luster"
BOTTOM: Stila "rose gold retro"
Natural Sunlight VS iPhone Flash
3. Bare Minerals Gen Nude Butter Gloss (Groovy):
This is such a pretty color, I hyperventilated! The perfect soft nude/ pale pink shade. As far as price point, I can't help but feel there's better/ similar products at the same price or even cheaper but overall I liked it. It's super pigmented and long lasting to be a gloss. I'd compare it to Buxom "White Russian" as far as consistency and staying power. I wore it with a nude liner and it looked really nice. I think it would be a great lipstick topper too. Definitely worth checking out!!
Here's some additional photos wearing these products....
Overall, these gave me the feels you guys, and I'm impressed.
I definitely want to grab 1 or 2 more shades of the Stila shadows!
There's so many new makeup products coming out this Spring & Summer, I can't wait!
I hope you guys enjoyed this post.
Stay tuned for more first impressions posts!
