Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

Hello my lovlies! im here with another beauty blog….duh!

Today i will be reviewing Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara. I dont know why i feel like mascara is like a necessity in my daily life because i have extremly long eyelashes. No joke im pretty sure im related to a camel. Im also an extremely emotional person, so having water proof mascara is a MUST in my book. One of my biggest peeves about mascara is when you think its waterproof and its NOT! And then being the emotional person you are, cry and have it ruin the makeup that you spent hours on, a face full of like $80 bucks washed away by your tears, which makes you cry even more. Another peeve of mine is clumby mascara. So while looking for a mascara those are the two things i look for, waterproof-ness and no clumbing.

The previous mascara i was using was an LA Color mascara that i think was like a dollar or two ( you get what you pay for). I did not like that mascara what so ever. It wasnt waterproof..it wasnt even air proof, the slightest bit of movment would smudge the mascara, and by the end of the day i looked like a crazy alcoholic on crack cocaine. Another thing i didnt like about my old mascara was it was ALL clumb. On top of looking like an alcoholic, i also looked like a spider began living on my eyes. Needless to say, i was in dire need of a new mascara.

My mother uses Maybelline Great Lash Mascara all the time, and i always admire how it looks on her, so i decided why not give it a try?

So that i did!

Great Lash Mascara:

Description:

• Pink tube
• Green cap
• Spiral brush
• Normal sized

Pros:

• Thin product
• Waterproof
• No clumbs
• Long Lasting
• natural look

Cons:

• So thin that you need to apply multiple layers
• Smudges slightly

All in all i give this product a 9/10 because i truly didnt find any problems with this product. My biggest problem was that it didnt apply very much product, so when wanting a more dramatic look youll have to apply two or three layers. But if you want a natural everyday look ( which i tend to lean toward) this product is perfect. I understand why my mom repurchases this product so much.

Thats it for todays blog!

LA Colors Matte Lipstick

Hello my lovelies! I hope you all are having a lovely week so far!

Today I will be reviewing La colors matte lipstick

I’ve always loved dark red matte lipsticks, and for this photo shoot I was going on, I thought that this shade would be wonderful for the job!

I got this from my local drugstore (I know I know pretty soon I will have bought the whole drug store!), la colors is known for being sorta cheap and not the highest of quality, but I didn’t care so long as it was dark and matte.

The application was very good, it was smooth and easy. A bit messy at times.

If you do mess up though, it’s very hard to simply wipe it off with your thumb.

I also noticed how long it lasted, this matte lasted about half the day, which for a matte was kinda of disappointing, usually mattes stay on 24/7, but half the day is a lot better than having to re apply every hour.

My biggest issues was that it got messy after you’ve applied it. I could have had it applied neatly and perfectly, have it all dried, and somehow it would end up all over the place and I would look like the Joker! I couldn’t really eat with it on, or drink with it on. I couldn’t really do anything. There were times I felt I couldn’t even talk in fear that it would somehow end up everywhere!

So I don’t really know where I stand with this product, half of me loves it and half of me hates it.

I feel like this is perfect lipstick for like a photo shoot or any event where you’re doing literally nothing but standing, this isn’t perfect for going to work or school!

Ta ta my loves!

What’s you’re favorite matte lipstick?

Urban Decay Cream Finish Vice Lipstick Review

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog, today I’m going to review another lipstick that I got for christmas, the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Naked which is part of their cream formula.

Overview:

• Price: $17
• Cruelty free!
• 100 shades of these Vice Lipsticks are available!

Promise: This creamy formula is packed with nourishing ingredients. A butter blend comforts, hydrates, and enhances, leaving lips soft and conditioned, and never dry. Aloe vera, jojoba, avocado, and babassu oils nourish and soften lips. (From Sephora’s site!)

I do have to say I love this formula! If you are after a moisturizing, basic, everyday sort of cream lipstick like I am, then I think you would like this as well. It is nourishing, not drying at all, so it definitely lives up to that part of its promise.

January Beauty Favorites!

Hello guys! I hope you have had a good first month of 2018! Welcome back to our blog and today we are going to talk about all of my January beauty favorites, so lets get into it:

Face Products:

Dr. Hauschka Coverstick 01 – This is the lightest shade of their stick concealer, and it is a rediscovered favorite of mine. It doesn’t crease on me, the pink tone of it cancels out all the darkness under my eyes and you can slap it on quickly and blend it out with your finger for sheer-medium coverage on the go which I love.

Stila Heavens Hue Highlighter in Kitten – This was so so gorgeous for everyday! Subtle but pretty glow and you can build it up if you really want to. I loved it for just making my skin look radiant and I just did a review on it so I will not bore you with more details!

Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter in pearl – This was also in my December Favorites and I just can’t stop using it. It is so pretty and very very blinding. I love how smooth and creamy the formula is, it feels more like a cream formula than powder and you need to try these if you havent already!

Eye Products:

W3ll People Capitalist 911 Brow Powder in matte taupe – This is the most gorgeous product for natural brows for me! If there are any blondes or other girls like me who need a taupe and more cool toned brow I think you could really like this. I always have a good brow day when I use this and I’ve been reaching for it a lot!

5 Products Youtube Made Me Buy – Part 2

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog! I have been wanting to do another one of these posts for ages, and you guys really seemed to like the last one, so I figured now would be the perfect time to do a part two!

If any of you guys have done this post before, leave the link to it down below and I will come read it!

Eyes:

1. Anastasia Modern Renaissance Palette

I can’t think of any beauty youtuber who doesn’t have this palette! I bought it a little over six months ago, and honestly, it does live up to the hype. The shades are very very blendable and so gorgeous. If you like warm tones, I am certain that you will love this palette.

Face Products:

2. Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer

I saw this on so many channels of girls who have super fair skin like I do. It is the perfect tone of bronze, and it isn’t too orange, nor is it too dark. It is really perfect. I would say if you have the money to spend on this bronzer, it is beautiful and I think you will love it!

3. Physicians Formula Highlighter in the shade Pearl

You guys know I am obsessed with this! It is such a gorgeous super light highlighter with a bit of a shift. The formula is so soft, it almost feels like a cream, and they have good shades for a variety of skin tones. I’ve seen swatches and reviews of these highlights everywhere, and I also think these are worth the hype!

Physician’s Formula Velvet Lipsticks Review

Hello guys! The past couple weeks I have been using these physicians formula velvet lipsticks, if you want to see my final thoughts then keep on reading!

Overview:

• cruelty free!
• price: $7.00
• Will go on glossy and dry matte, it is a liquid lipstick

*I couldn’t find the products claims because apparently these liquid lipsticks aren’t released everywhere yet!*

These are so pigmented! One swipe is all you’ll need, you will have no patchiness and the wand made it really easy to apply evenly.

The formula is also ridiculously lightweight and doesn’t dry your lips out at all. I found an ingredients list and these are infused with avocado oil and vitamin E. They definitely are nourishing and are very comfy to wear all day. You might even forget you are wearing this lipstick!

This also seems to blur out my lip lines. Most liquid lipsticks I’ve tried will emphasize lip lines to some degree, but these seemed to blur my lip lines away and my lips looked so smooth! These also didn’t crack even after a few hours of wear.

In terms of wear time, this is my only issue.

Mini Ulta Makeup Haul!

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog! A few days ago I went to Ulta with Christine and bought a few things! Mostly practical things. I think I am putting myself on a no-buy after this because I need to save up for christmas gifts for everyone in my family!

Anyways let’s get into it!

Face Products:

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge – I’d never tried this sponge and I had heard so many good things about it! So far my first impression is good as well, I actually love it! I’ve never tried an original beauty blender so I won’t know how it compares, but I like this so far.

Becca First Light Priming Filter – I heard that this was hydrating and lovely from one of my favorite beauty gurus on youtube so I decided to pick up a mini size. I have a couple of primers to work through first before I commit to a big size of this one.

Lip Products!

NYX Butter Gloss Review

Hello guys! I recently bought a couple of new NYX lip products and one of them was this butter gloss!

It turns out I actually have been really loving the formula so here is my final thoughts on it:

(From the NYX website)

Each glossy color delivers sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky, leaving your lips soft, supple and kissable.

Mini Collective Haul!

Hello everyone! I’ve been picking up a few bits and bobs from marshalls and the drugsture the past couple of weeks and I just wanted to collect them and show you guys. I did pick up one super exciting product from too faced, so here we go:

Makeup:

Too faced Totally Cute Palette – I found this for $10.99 at marshalls which was so cool. I have wanted to try the nine pan palette formula for a long time, and upon first impression I am loving it, I will do a full review if you guys want!

Stila Got Inked Cushion Liner in the shade sapphire ink – I got rid of all my navy eyeliners in my last declutter so I wanted to try this out. I really like stila as well!

Skincare:

Burts bees chapstick in pomegranate – I finished my pacifica chapstick so quick, so I decided to try this instead to see if it would last me longer. I love burts bees lip products and this is super nice.

Alba Botanica Hawaiian Detox Frothy Scrub – This is my cruelty free body wash to replace the softsoap one I had. This smells so nice and fresh and I am excited to try it.

Alba Botanica Hawaiian hand and body lotion – This smells like chocolate and I had to pick it up! It is so thick and moisturizing so I am really looking forward to using this.
