CVS Beauty Fashion Week challenge + win a $50 gift card!
Sooooo another Fashion Week has zoomed right on by and with her she dumped a ton of beauty trends that have beauty-obsesesd folx like myeslf going gaga.
Like last season, I’ve been trying to see if I can comfortably mimic some of those trends without lookin’, ya know, too cray cray. Aaaaand with the help of CVS/pharmacy, I think I can do it. If it turns out a total disaster, at least I’ll be covered with CVS/pharmacy’s 60-day Beauty Guarantee.
Trend #1:
Strong brows.
Considering I was born with massive brows, I’d say that I’ve been rockin’ this trend for a good 28 years now. For serious. Big brows are back and if you’re like me and yours need constant defining, check out Maybelline’s Eye Studio Master Shape brow pencil ($7.99). Even a newb like me can fill in those sparse areas with ease. But remember – less is more.
Trend #2
Insanely bold lip colors.
Yas! Y’all know I love to rock a bold lip and will do so no matter what the season is. Maybelline’s Color Sensational Vivids lipsticks are freaking ah-mazing. I’ll be reviewing them but in the meantime, how awesome is Vivid Rose? I scooped her up for $7.39 and got Neon Red for $3.69.
Hollerssss. It’s easy to hoard these because every shade is super pigmented and goooorgeous.
Trend #3
Blue eyeshadow
Say whaaaat? I didn’t see this one coming. I don’t have anything against blue eyeshadow. I just don’t wear it often. This trend has me being a bit more creative when doing my makeup in the morning. I’ve been trying to find ways to comfortably wear blue. I’m lovin’ this L’Oreal Colour Riche eyeshadow palette.
Not bad for under $8.
Trend #4
White/neutral nail polish shades
I love white nail polish. Like, luuuuurve. I just don’t wear it often because they can be a bit of a pain to apply. But if you find a good one like Sally Hansen’s Sheer Bliss ($7.79), you better rock it, sister.
Thanks to these affordable products, I hit 4 trends and stayed under $50. But remember, for every $50 spent on beauty at CVS/pharmacy, you get $5 in ExtraBucks Rewards!
Enter the Rafflecopter below for a chance to win 1 $50 CVS/pharmacy gift card to snag some products that you were inspired by this past Fashion Week. Good luuuuck!

SO difficult to decide …. I guess I’ll go with White/Neutral nails since that’s what I’ve been incorporating most, until summer comes then it’ll be the other 3 trends too lol
I’ve got to go with bold lips as my favorite trend- even though I can only work up the courage to rock it every once in a while!
Bright lips for sure. Even I have natural bushy brows so quite tired of hem.
Bright fuschia lippies are calling me
Bright lips! I love them even though I can’t pull them off hahaha
I’m loving the bold lip!! I used to never wear anything but Vaseline on my lips and this trend has opened a whole new world of lip colors to me! Also, tysm for the giveaway but maybe a cool future giveaway idea would be to have somebody put together their own look and compete for prize money!

I’ve just fallen in love with bold lipsticks and I LOVE white nail polish!
I hope I win this. I go to CVS a few times a week just to wind down and browse the beauty aisle. LOL
I think I want to try the blue eyeshadow. It’s not a color I reach for often.
Loving the neutral nail polish trend!
I would have to say the bold lip color trend. I have a warm skin tone and I think some kind of orange or red color would be FABULOUS!
I love the bold lip best. Bright pinks work best for me!
The bold lip colors–swoon!
i LOVE LOVE LOVE insanely BOLD lip color
I love strong eyebrows!!
Hard to pick, but I think I’ll go with the blue eye shadow. It’s not like that crazy frosted stuff we wore in the ’80′s. lol. They’re such beautifully blended colors now.
Maybelline always nails it in the lip color and mascara dept. I love those new lipsticks!
i have always loved bold lips. now im also liking the white polish.
I love the bold lip, I haven’t tried it yet due to a discolored front tooth, but I love it.
Tina recently blogged about Exposure Camp X Teen Game Jam
I love both the strong brow and bold lip color trends. I really love a bold lip with a neutral eye, bold liner, and long lashes!
Trend 1! Doesn’t require much effort on my part, I was blessed with thick brows.
Bold Lips . . . White nail color is such a pain to do . . .

Bold lips….
I’m a sucker for nude nails, so classy and clean!
Bright lips and bold brows! But especially bright lips
Emi at Project Swatch recently blogged about Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Dim Light: Review, Photos, Swatches
I’ve always loved blue eye shadows…very complimentary on my brown eyes. But I think the trend I’m most excited about is the bold lip color. I tend to stick with a more “neutral” lip palette, but I’d like to experiment with some bright, bold hues.
Love the bold lips in vivid rose!
I’m with you on the brows. My brows are naturally quite full too, so I’m loving that it’s a trend.
beautybabbling recently blogged about Products I Want to Use Up! Volume 1
All about the strong brows. They set the tone for the rest of the face.
I am loving the bold brows! I just think brows make or break the face!!
I LOVE the bold lip color! I usually go for nudes/neutral colors, but I really like the hot, bright colors.
Hard to pick just one trend. I always love a bold lip, but as a glasses wearer I like playing with colorful eyes I use them either as a liner, or over the lid with a dark brown or black in the crease to tone it down.
Bold lips! Those lipsticks are gorgeous!
Absolutely loving the bold lips!
I’m loving the bold lip color.
Definitely the bold lips! Something new for me too.
Bright lips and neutral nails
White/neutral nail polish shades
I’ve been trying to work on my brows, so that trend is on par with what I’m doing now! I am a little afraid of the blue eyeshadow and bold lip, but I’m going to try to rock it (though maybe not together?)
Rachel recently blogged about Not quite back… but a Blog Sale!
Definitely BOLD lips,(i like them all year round) I’ve been rocking the darks/reds this fall/winter but I’ll punch it up with pinks and fuchsia this spring
I’m 100% into the bright lips. I’ve been collecting new lippies for months now. So this is the trend I can’t wait to go fully into for spring/summer.

Love the bold lips!
I’m struggling with brow definition. I either look like a Telenovela actor or a failed evil villain.
That bold lip trend is caaallllling me!
Alia recently blogged about It’s That Time of Year Again

Thx for the chance!
Loving bold lips
i’m loving the bold lips! i have plenty of bold colors already but there’s always room for more. those maybelline lippies are awesome!
The bold lip colors are my FAVORITE! I love hot pink! <3
The bold lip is my favorite trend. I would love to try it in a magenta color.
i’d def like to venture into bolder lip colors since i’ve been a carmex/ vaseline girl for so so long. my brows are strong (and have been strong) on their own since forever lol! adding anything else to them would be overkill.
Luv beauty trend #2, the bright and bold lip colors The colors you choose are gorgeous.
Marisa Anderson recently blogged about Bobbi Brown Retouching Powder
absolutely L O V I N G white / nude nails !!
I’d love this! I’m definitely in need of some me time, and would love to pick up that white polish. Also, I’m a therapist and I’ve started having manicure time with my new female clients to break the ice, so it would be great to pick up some polish and beauty gadgets just for that purpose.
I like the neutral nails. Its a breath of fresh air.
I like the neutral nails. When you wear lots of nail colors like myself, it can be a breath of fresh air.

The insanely bright lips – way out of my comfort zone! So I’m playing with bright gloss layered over my tamer lipsticks as a way to work up to rockin’ a brighter lip color!
Strong brows for me
Bold lip colors for sure! I’ve always loved that look
Since I’m part of the bold brow brigade, I’ll go with that look. lol But really, they’re all pretty cool!
I think that strong, groomed eyebrows are always necessary!

Hmmm, I may have to check out the vivids lipsticks after all.
If all the trends, I am completely loving the BOLD lips!!! I’ve been venturing out of my safety zone and wearing bolder colors!! Woo hoo!!!
Ahhhhh I’m loving strong brows! I have very sparse brows naturally, so I’m always looking for a good brow pencil c:
I love insanely bold lips! White nails are also pretty sweet!
I am just loving white/light nails lately. The problem I have is I don’t like a white creme and most of the sheer ones have too much VNL for my taste. I want a white jelly/crelly that builds to full opaqueness and keeps that squishy-ness. I guess I’m a little picky…
I can’t wait for the eyeshadow
I have always been in love with white nail polish. I prefer the shimmer/metallic white to a matte, but I just love it.
I LOVE white polish, but you’re right, it can be a real pain to apply and get it to look right. I usually draw designs on it anyway.
I’m loving the bright lips! I’ve personally been too scared to try it but it’s definitely on my to do list.
I love all the trends but you can’t never go wrong with a bold lip color! Trend #2
I love the nude color trend!

I’m Team Bold Lips as well. I grabbed 4 Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids shades the other day, and will be heading back for more. I always leans towards lips over other products, but have vowed to try to pay more attention to my eyes this year.

smashedpowder recently blogged about experiment time!
I LOVE the strong brows trend. BB Cream has gravitated from Asia, particularly Korea, and the Koreans have been rocking strong, straight brows since forever as well. Besides, we all need definition.
Claire Wong recently blogged about goldflure:

Love everything about this…
While I already do the bold brow, I can’t wait to wear the bold, bright, neon-ish lip color. Since we’ve been doing the nude thing for a while now, the colorfully juicy lips are right up my alley. Lip color is so easy to be on-trend!
Definitely need to try blue shadow more…goes awesome with pink lips!
Going to try white polish. I usually use white as a base to make colors pop but rarely wear the color alone.
Blue eyeshadow! Yay!
I love the bold lip colors. When I don’t feel like doing anything special with my eyeshadow, I always go for a bright or bold lip color.

I’m loving the vivid lips! I just bought Shocking Coral from that line, and it’s AMAZING!!!!!!!!
I’m in! I like all the trends!
Not sure if I like the blue eye shadow trend… more into purple.
I think the blue eyeshadow because I can do a navy smokey eye or a wash of blue above the crease.
Those lip colors look so good on you! Love all the current trends.

I like the bold lip trend. I love a pop of color to my look..
For me, the white nail polish is the bomb! I have short nails and I find the whiter, lighter colors make them look a bit longer.
I was already into the other trends, but I have a sudden desire for sheer white polish.
