The drugstore is buzzing with new products from Covergirl and, of course, I had to add toss a few into my basket on my last trip to Harmon.



I purchased Flamed Out Mascara in Very Black Blaze, Lipslicks Smoochies Lip Balm in Smooch (265), Clean Whipped Creme Foundation & Base in Classic Ivory (310), Flamed Out Shadow Pencils in Melted Caramel (350) and Ginger Flame (340).





The foundation definitely has a thick, whipped consistency. I haven’t used it yet, but it seems like it will offer medium coverage. The shade range for this product isn’t that extensive. Also, I had to guess on which color would suit my skin tone best because, of course, there are no testers at the drugstore. Hopefully, this one works!




Smooch, Ginger Flame, Melted Caramel

I looked forward to using these shadow pencils. I love the ease of use of shadow pencils and hopefully these will work just as well as my favorites from Urban Decay, but at a much cheaper cost.

As each month ends, I’ll share 5 of my favorite products from that month. Think of these posts as recommendations of a handful of great beauty items!

Here are my favorites from May:

1: Miss Jessie’s Creme De La Curl
2: Miss Jessie’s Creme De La Creme
3: Korres Blush in Apricot
4: Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfum Rollerball
5: Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils
