New Drugstore Purchases & First Impressions

So.. the other day I went shopping with my sister and bought a few makeup items from the drugstore. I did some swatches and tried them on. :) These are my first impressions: 

1) Rimmel London Apocalips

I know that a lot of bloggers talk about these, but before I bought this one I had never tried one before. I chose the shade Celestial. 
When you apply it on your lips, it seems to be quite thick in consistency, but very glossy at the same time. As you leave it on your lips, it dries out and leaves a thin layer of pigment. I would describe it as a liquid lipstick, since it is so pigmented. It's great! :)









This is the swatch on my hand

And how it looks on the lips: 





2) Maybelline Colorsensational Shine Gloss

I already had one in 420 Glorious Grapefruit. It was more on the coral side, and I loved it, so I decided to buy another one. This one is straight pink (150 Pink Shock). These lip glosses are definitely more pigmented than others from the drugstore, but you have to layer it. In my opinion they smudge a little bit on the lips, but otherwise they are not sticky and they smell amazing!

How well it is applied

And on the lips:









3) Astor Skin Match Twist Concealer Pen

Loveeeeeeeeeeeee. I use it underneath my eyes to get rid of my horrible dark circles. Even though it does not cover them perfectly, it brightens my eyes. What I love about this concealer the best is that it is not cake and it's so easy to blend.









 I drew a line on my hand with a marker, and tested the opacity/ coverage of the concealer.
