Beauty Product Reviews
Worked even with my super oily skin!
I was a little skeptical as well, but I must say, it made my aging skin look great! It gave me a dewy look & I did need to blot a little here and there, but no biggie. A little goes a long way, just apply then blend with warm clean hands. Never thought I would spent this much for a primer but I surely have no regrets.
MUST HAVE for anyone starting their collection!!
Before purchasing, I did my research. Thanks to many YouTube gurus, that wasn't so hard. Although at first I was a little skeptical because it was just so darn affordable! I'm a huge believer in "You get what you pay for." That, thankfully was not the case here! First off, the color selection, you can't ask for any more basics. I can adjust the tint to exactly what I need on a daily basis. I can mix in the yellow toned one in (FYI my perfect match is the bottom tan/center one) to brighten up my eyes, or the salmon colored one if I woke up with awful under eye circles. Also the darkest of the bunch is great for contouring! Coverage is great, for my under eye circles, acne scars & age spots (which i have a couple due to too much sun).Feels light, and a little goes a long way. Also I got my palette on sale for $11!! Total hit in my book, will be repurchasing ;)
Phenomenal on my Oily/Combination skin!!!
I was honestly just looking for a simple setting powder, wasn't expecting a miracle product like this! First off if feels light, doesn't cake, a little goes a long way. To top everything off, it helps my t-zone, which usually requires blotting a couple of times a day, pretty darn matte!! Even in this 100+ degree humid/South Texas weather, maybe a small pat down at the most. Other then that my face stays put!! BRAVO MAC!!! I already hit pan & will be repurchasing!
Must Have
Although the formula is a little watery, I love this liner. The felt tip is very forgiving & you can just dab off the excess back into the bottle. With a great primer, it does not budge. To give it extra staying power I set it with a black shadow & a shader brush. I do have to admit, I haven't tried this on my water line, I would suggest a pencil liner such as Maybelline's Master Drama (also set with a black shadow). This liner has a permanent spot in my make-up collection
Must have!
I have super oily skin & debated about trying out this product for a while. What held me back the most was the price. I finally purchased the travel size and I am so glad I did! I forgot to put this on one day & by the early afternoon my Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour foundation had literally disappeared!! Let's get real ppl, it's not going to keep you from sweating, we are human & it's not a MIRACLE!! It sure did increase the staying power of my make-up dramatically. I only spray it on after I'm completely done with my make-up. I will be purchasing the full size bottle soon.
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE
As a lash fanatic, false lashes have a permanent spot in my everyday beauty routine. I have tried many, many brands from prices ranging from $4-$20 a pop. Yes $20 is ridiculous and I will never make that mistake again : / Synthetic lashes tend to have thick bands & weigh down my lashes. Some days I can't tolerate it. So when I tried on this specific brand (recommended by Youtube guru Sccastaneda), I noticed not only were they light as a feather but also the most natural looking lashed I have EVER worn!!! The band was this & they are made from 100% human hair. At $6.99 for 3 pairs, they are also a steal!! I will be definitely be stocking up and trying out more styles.
Nothing but hype!!!
EOS lip balm has really taken the YouTube beauty community by storm, so when I stumbled upon it at my local Wal-Mart, I was thrilled! I purchased the dragon berry (??? reddish one) and I was very disappointed. Fragrances in beauty products never bother me, but this disgusting excuse of a fruit scent was too over baring! On top of that, it did nothing for my lips. Did not moisturize, did not protect or prevent dryness. I really wanted to like this product & gave it more opportunities than it deserved. I tried it under my lipsticks, on lazy days (with no other lip products), & before bed. Epic fail -_-
Adore ;)
I must say I was impressed with this lipstick. I do own a few colors, but Fire is my absolute favorite. It's a modern kick to my red lip. The shimmers are small & subtle, nothing chunky or that you can feel. The finish is glossy but opaque. It was't over moisturized to where it was bleeding out the lip line & did not dry out my lips. It doesn't have any long wear claims, so you do have to reapply after eating, drinking or kissing. Overall I love this line & will surely purchase more.
French Affair, classic
I adore this brand!!! My current fave is french affair,even though bright colors are in right now. The texture is a bit thick but nothing I can't handle & the staying power is up there.
Go-To Palette :)
I, like some of the others, did not even consider Wet n Wild products bc of the poor quality I experienced in my teens. Some of my favorite YouTube beauty gurus kept raving, so I had to try. I must say, I'm in loooooooove!! I sure am getting bang for my buck!
