Revlon Photoready Kajal Eyeliner, Brilliant Strength Nail Enamal & Super Lustrous

Spotted at CVS - Revlon Photoready Kajal Intense Eyeliner and Brightner
Brilliant Strength Nail Enamel
New Packaging of Super Lustrous Lip Gloss and Lipstick (new shades?)
Fatal Apple, Pango Peach, Raisin Rage, Kiss Me Coral and Rosy Future
Pinkissimo, Super Natural, Fuchsia Finery, Berry Allure, Sugar Violet, Pink Pop (So I think all of my favorite shades from the old line are discontinued...)

I always wondered why would companies reformulated something that's already amazing and well-received (the old Clairol herbal essences, Burt's Bees cuticle creme, Sally Hansen lip gloss and now this) but I think I just figured it out. They just want to cheap out on the product but they don't want to make it obvious. Both Clairol's and Sally Hansen have made things runnier, Burt's Bee's reformulated creme contains more filler/less emollient and in this case, the new Super Lustrous gloss contains 3.8 ml (instead of 5.9ml) of  products...

The volume actually doesn't concern me that much (consider how many glosses I have amassed) but I really don't like the new packaging or the colors I will still give them a try, when the price is good enough though.

Covergirl Wipped Creme Foundation, Clean Glow Blush & Ink It Pencil Eyeliner

Spotted at ULTA - Covergril Clean Whipped Cream makeup
The texture reminds me of the mousse foundation by Rimmel (discontinued around 3 years ago), it's watery that dries somewhat matte.
  Clean Glow Bronzer and Blush
Ink it Eyeliner Pencil
Black Ink and Charcoal Ink
Silver Ink and Cocoa Ink (I saw the slot for a turquoise one at Target but I guess it's not shelved yet)
Flamed Out Mascara
Flame Out Eyeshadow Pencil 
Covergirl and Olay Eye rehab CC cream (brightening concealer)

Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm

Spotted at CVS - Almay Liquid Lip Balm

The color are all quite bland but I am pretty sure people will buy it for Kate Hudson's duck face.

Maybelline Coral Burst Powder Blush

Maybelline Coral Burst is one of the three powder blushes from their spring 2013 collection (need to start reviewing them before I dive into the summer one, I still haven't stopped buying them though) it's a bright soda-orange with golden shimmer. The shimmer in the blush is so fine that the finish is predominately matte (stain-like) with a bit of golden glow.
The blush seems rather powdery that a ting swipe yield a lot of product (and fall out). Since Coral Burst itself is so pigmented, I need to be really careful so I end up with a big glob on my cheek. It shows up juicy orange on my skin and the color seems to be reasonably long-wearing (on top of sunscreen).  Overall: Totally worth the (7 buck) price tag so pick it up before it's gone.
 
 Coral Burst, Milani Corallina, Canmake Cheek & Cheek Candy Flower, Canmake Cream Cheek Sweet Orange, Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Warm (the tiny orange heart only, which is hard to get the color out just by itself).
Here is the rest of Maybelline summer 2013 collection with Dream Sun bronzer, face illuminator and  three limited edition shade of lip gloss.
To me, the glosses are too similar to what's in the permanent line-up so they don't tempt me that much.
