NEW Drugstore Collections Spotted This Week!

So, I am one of those gals who ends up in the drugstore at least 3 times a week. I am the crazy make-up collection stalker lady. Haha! In reality I run into places like Walgreens and CVS so often because there is literally one on every corner where I live. Not only is this convenient for everyday items, but I also have a better chance of scoping out and purchasing NEW or Limited Edition drugstore make-up collections. This week I stopped into CVS and they had a lot of collections that I have not seen at Walgreens or at any other store for that matter. I find that CVS always has a lot of fresh make-up displays where I live. 

I've really been trying to be a good girl and not be so impulsive when it comes to purchasing make-up, so I did not purchase anything from any of these collections, but I am definitely going back for one of the items because it caught my eye and I think it's going to be amazing! Let me share my finds with you all!

The first collection I spotted was the Coming Up Roses Collection from Milani. These are limited edition blushes priced at $8.99 a pop which is a little higher on the drugstore price spectrum. BUT, these blushes look amazing. They all looked like they had a matte finish without any shimmer, but when you look really closely these look as if they will apply very airbrushed and beautiful. They almost  look like they have a silky feel to them. I am definitely going back this week to pick one or two of these babies up. I will keep you updated in my videos. 

My favorite color in this entire display was 04 Bella Rosa. It's just the most beautiful and perfect girly pink. I think this is going to look great during the winter to freshen up the face and keep it looking healthy and fabulous during summer to give a light pink flush. The other 3 colors in the collection seemed Fall appropriate and the bronze looks as if it could be used as a contour. The packaging is beautiful on these blushes and they are massive. Hopefully the color payoff is as beautiful as everything else about them. 

The next collection I spotted were these Rimmel Glosses. They are the 3D-Licious lip glosses. I have to admit that nothing about the packaging or marketing really jumped out at me and made me want to purchase any of the colors. From the display we can tell that these colors are definitely transitioning into the fall. There are deep rich colors with one brighter color to finish off your summer with. These just seemed like any regular gloss to me. Let me know if you've tried these!

Milani is on a roll with releasing new collections at the moment and this collection of nail polish colors is called Fantastical Plumage. These are beautiful cream finished nail varnishes that really pop out and catch the eye. As we can see there is one color in the collection that has a glittery effect to it. If I didn't already own over 200 polishes (don't judge) I might have picked up the entire collection. The orangey red and creamy purple are some definite eye catching colors. I've also heard great things about Milani's nail polish formulas. These are $5.79 a pop and are obviously a bit more than my favorite drugstore nail polish (sinful colors) which are priced between .99 and $1.99. But, none the less these colors are beautiful!

Round of applause for Milani who released yet another collection of nail colors called Retro Glam. Again these are a cream finish with one glittery polish thrown into the collection. Unlike the Fantastical Plumage collection these are a little more toned down. These are more pastel like colors and they are definitely focused on the colors green and pink. Something about this collection just seems a little off for me. I wish they would've released different colors with this collection rather than just greens and pinks. The sparkle effect nail polish doesn't really look like it would be complimentary to these colors as well. These are also $5.79 a piece.

So, these were some of the most recent new and limited edition collections that I have seen lately. Let me know your thoughts or if you've tried any of these products. What have you spotted lately???
