GRWM using New to Me Products

GRWM using New to Me Products || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

Back in January I filmed several videos, one of which was a GRWM using New to Me Products. I completely meant to put it up way back in January but who knew that between issues with doctors, going back to school, and trying to work out details for an internship that I’d have ZERO time to edit videos and posts…If you want to see what all I used in this GRWM using New to Me Products keep scrolling and if of course you want to see the actual GRWM, check out the video below.

If you can’t see the above video, click here.

Liquid Face Products

GRWM using New to Me Products Liquid Face Products || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

I used a mix of both new to me face products and some tried and true face products. I’ll go through each of the liquid face products below.

Smashbox Primerizer

GRWM using New to Me Products Primer || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The Smashbox Primerizer is the first product that I used in my GRWM using New to Me Products and it was also the first new to me product in this GRWM. I had actually purchased a full-size of the Smashbox Primerizer a few years back when it first came out to review, however, that was right around the time that we lost Norbie so it got put somewhere and I only recently found it. The one in this video was from a set that I got for Christmas.

You can purchase a 1 oz. bottle of Smashbox Primerizer at Smashbox, Ulta, or Sephora for $42.00.

Urban Decay Color Corrector

GRWM using New to Me Products Color Corrector || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The Urban Decay Color Corrector in Pink is a product that is tried and true for me. I actually reviewed them previously here. This is actually one of the only products that works for my dark circles!

You can purchase a 0.21 oz. bottle of Urban Decay Color Corrector in Pink at Ulta or Sephora for $29.00.

Maybelline SuperStay Foundation

GRWM using New to Me Products Foundation || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The Maybelline SuperStay Foundation in 120 Classic Ivory was the next new to me product, and was actually sent to me to review. I’m not going to go much into this at the moment because I’ll have a full review of it on Friday. I will say that the Maybelline SuperStay Foundation has great coverage and lasting power but that it can oxidize…

You can purchase a 1 oz. bottle of Maybelline SuperStay Foundation at Ulta for $11.99.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

GRWM using New to Me Products Concealer || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15 Fair is another tried and true product and the next step in my GRWM using New to Me Products. I like to apply this under the eyes, down the nose, at the top of the nose/middle of the forehead, and the cupids bow. In the video I tried to use a brush to blend this out but that just wasn’t happening so I switched to a beauty sponge which is my preferred way of blending out concealer.

You can purchase a 0.23 oz. bottle of Maybelline Fit Me Concealer at Ulta for $6.49.

Murad Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist

GRWM using New to Me Products Setting Spray || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The Murad Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist is the next new to me product, however, it actually winds up being the next to last step in my GRWM using New to Me Products. This is out of order due to it being a liquid face product. This is another that I plan on putting a review up for so I’m not going to go into a lot of detail on it. I will say that this has a super fine mist, which I love, AND it doesn’t have any fragrance to it, which I also love!

You can purchase a 3.4 oz. bottle of Murad Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist at Murad or Ulta for $32.00.

Powder Face Products

GRWM using New to Me Products Powder Face Products || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

Moving on, we’re going to cover the powder face products that I used in my GRWM using New to Me Products. I want to note before we go any further that I did NOT use a setting powder in this. I actually found that this foundation dries down pretty well and if I can avoid making my face any drier I’m going to!

Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Kit

GRWM using New to Me Products Contour || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The first powder product that I used was the Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Kit which is a new to me product that I’ve been holding onto forever and a day it seems. I actually picked this up via HSN back when Casey Holmes released her Spotlight palette collaboration with Smashbox (review of the Pearl palette here and review of the Gold palette here). I picked it up thinking it would be great to follow those reviews up with a review of the Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Kit to tell you if it was something you needed in your collection. Something came up, who knows what at this point, and it got put to the side, moved around 500+ times, and I finally found it right before filming this. I used the brush from this kit and the contour powder and I’m for sure going to have to work with this some more before I give my final thoughts on it…well except that brush, it’s the brush that I mentioned in several of my last videos as having done me dirty.

You can pick up the Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Kit at Smashbox or Ulta for $35.00.

Pixi PixiGlow Cakes

GRWM using New to Me Products Blush and Bronzer || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The next powder products that I used were parts of the Pixi PixiGlow Cakes. I used the blush from the Pink Champagne palette and the bronzer from the GildedBare palette. This is another product I’m not going to get a lot into because I’ve already reviewed it here. I will say that the GildedBare is my favorite!

You can pick up the Pixi PixiGlow Cakes at Pixi Beauty or you can get the Pink Champagne at Target via this link and the GildedBare at Target via this link for $28.00 each.

Lunar Beauty Greek Goddess Face Palette

GRWM using New to Me Products Highlighter || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The last face powder product that I used was the shade Harpy out of the Lunar Beauty Greek Goddess Face Palette. Lunar Beauty is the beauty brand that YouTuber MannyMUA created and in 1000% honesty I did not get any of the Lunar Beauty products because of that. I got them purely because I am, and have been for about 20 years, a HUGE fan of the Greek Gods and Goddesses. I would LOVE for another brand to put out a Greek Gods/Goddesses collection!

You can purchase the Lunar Beauty Greek Goddess Face Palette at Lunar Beauty for $40.00.

Eye Products

GRWM using New to Me Products Eye Products || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

Let’s move onto the eyes shall we? For the eyes I really only used three products; a palette, a brow product, and mascara. I know, I’m amazed myself!

Lunar Beauty Greek Goddess Eye Palette

GRWM using New to Me Products Eye Palette || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The first eye product that I used was the Lunar Beauty Greek Goddess Eye Palette and I was AMAZED by this palette. The shades are super pigmented, buttery, and perform so well on the eyes. I will say that I have ZERO flipping idea what I’m going to do with the shade Nemesis, it taunts me with it’s blueness.

You can purchase the Lunar Beauty Greek Goddess Eye Palette at Lunar Beauty for $48.00.

Anastasia Beverly Hill Brow Wiz

GRWM using New to Me Products Brows || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The second eye product that I used was the ABH Brow Wiz and would you be shocked to find out that this product was new to me?! Yep, I’ve never used an ABH Brow Wiz before and in all honesty after this one is gone I probably won’t repurchase it. It’s not that it wasn’t great, it’s just that I have other brow products that I like better…don’t come for me!

You can purchase the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz at Sephora or Ulta for $21.00.

Dior Diorshow Mascara

GRWM using New to Me Products Mascara || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

The last eye product that I used was the Dior Diorshow Mascara. I’ve actually been wanting to try this mascara for years now and I bought a Dior set that was a small palette and this mascara in it. However, the palette was broken and when I returned it to Sephora they would only refund me the money not exchange it for an unbroken one. At the time that pissed me off to the point that I took my money and went to a different store and bought something. Fast forward to before Travis got sick and I had purchased the Sephora Superstars Set, I believe it was, when it was on sale and this was in it. SCORE! I’ll be reviewing this one later as well.

You can purchase a full-size Dior Diorshow Mascara at Sephora for $29.50.

Lip Products

GRWM using New to Me Products Lip Products || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

I only used one lip product for this GRWM. No lip liner, I’m a rebel.

Lunar Beauty Aphrodite Liquid Lipstick

GRWM using New to Me Products Lip Wand || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

Yep. That red lip that EVERYONE has been commenting on in a bunch of my videos. That ONE that I told Kara that she would NOT want to purchase. THIS is it. The Lunar Beauty Aphrodite Liquid Lipstick. OMG it is freaking amazing. The dough foot is perfectly shaped. The lipstick applies amazingly, wears spectacularly, reapplies over itself perfectly, and smells delicious! This is a comfort matte so it WILL transfer but it isn’t drying and did I say it was amazing?

You can purchase a 0.12 oz. bottle of the Lunar Beauty Aphrodite Liquid Lipstick from Lunar Beauty for $18.00.

GRWM using New to Me Products Final Thoughts || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #grwm #firstimpressions

So those were the products that I used in my GRWM using New to Me Products. I’m sorry I don’t have a photo featuring the completed look, I actually didn’t have any intention of making a blog post to go with this video. I will make sure to take photos in the future, just in case!

    OMG both of the Greek Goddess palettes are so beautiful! I love the wide array of shades in the eye palette . . . it’s varied but all shades you’d actually use for everyday.

    The Maybelline looks so yellow so it’s hard to believe that the shade is fair. I’ve never heard of Lunar but the products look quite nice. Love the Pixi cheeks, I use those all the time.

    The Maybelline fdtn was too matte for my dry skin. I love the Fit Me concealer and the powder is nice too. That Lunar Beauty palette is gorgeous! Will you do swatches of it?

    I have my eye on the Murad Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist. No fragrance is important to me but I’ll wait until you share your full review before I decide on it.

    I love the looks of all of your makeup. I need to get some of this for our upcoming trip. I know there will be lots of photos taken and I may find myself in some. That would be the time to look my best finally, despite how bad I am at applying the stuff, I need to work on it and your blog is going to help me!!! lol

    Girl, I am all about that eye palette! Try using Nemesis in just a very small line above your lid liner – a fun little pop of color.

    Thanks for the scoop!

      I used it the other day as a little pop of color in the outer part of the eye and it actually turned out so gorgeous.

    Great close ups of all of this beautiful makeup and now you’ve got me swooning over this eyeshadow palette! I’m not a blue shadow kind of girl either, but it might be fun to play with it.

      Thank you! I loved all the colors so much that the blue shadow, which I don’t go for either, was worth it. I actually used it the other day and it turned out soooo gorgeous! I can’t wait to share the swatches.

    The eyeshadow palette is gorgeous – the shade ‘Circe’ in particular is calling my name! I would use ‘Nemesis’ under my lower lashline personally, or pair it with the Juvia’s place ‘Masquerade’ palette for a fully blue look!
