NEW! at the drugstore! (Maybelline Edition)

Hey everyone!
So I don't know about all of you but I am constantly popping into my local drugstores to see what's new even if I don't purchase anything, I want to be up to date and see what's new. I also feel like we get things a little later here in Canada so I wan't to see new stuff ASAP!
So I decided I would start posting things that I see pop up in the drugstore. Today I have a bunch of stuff I spotted at my local Shoppers Drugmart, some of which I didn't even know existed.
e

So here we go!

Yesss! And the Baby Skin is finally here! I've been hearing about this for what seems like months. I believe it came out first in Asia and just recently showed up in stores across the US, well guess what my Canadian beauty junkies?! THAT'S RIGHT! Its here!
This is suppose to be a pore eraser and many have compared it to higher end primers such as Benefits Porefessional and the Smashbox primer.
I didn't purchase it (yet) but I did test it on the back of my hand. At first it felt very slippery (I find that with my Tarte primer as well) but after a moment or so my hand felt soft and the lines looked more filled in, I'm very curious as to what it would be like on my face!

This retails for $12.99 at Shoppers Drugmart!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick "Catfight" Review

Hey beauties!
I have been eyeing the UD Revolution Lipsticks since they first came out mid-2013 but the $26CAD price tag has always stopped me. This Christmas I didnt hesitate to pop a few of these bad boys on my wishlist and lucky me because my love picked up Catfight & gifted it to me.

Catfight is a gorgeous colour, it's hot pink with an edge of red that is equal parts sexy & classic. Now, let me just say, my absolute favourite lipsticks have been the MAC mattes/retromattes which, let's face it, can be drying so using this UD lipstick was a refreshing change of pace for me. The colour glided smoothly across my lips and was uber pigmented and opaque! It wore for about 4 hours and while I didnt put it to the test by eating with it on I DID have a drink while wearing it (a frappe, fyi ;]). Catfight did not leave a stain on my lips which could be a pro or con depending on whether you like lipsticks that do leave a stain or not.

Simply put, I adore this lipstick. The price is abit up there (IMO at least) but the coverage and pigmentation are fab. I am SO, so grateful that I was lucky enough to receive it as a gift and I am loving it in every way! There is a slew of different shades that are definitely worth checking out, you can find them here!

Have YOU tried out this lipstick? If so, or for anything else remember to leave me your thoughts in the comments!

And here come the pictures for good measure!

Love, Luck & A Happy New Year!
