Beauty Product Reviews

One of my staples

I love using this shade on the outer corner of my eyes because it's very blendable and it's not too dark for daytime wear. If you don't have pale skin like me, you could probably wear this all over the lid and it would look lovely! I tried it on a tan friend and it looked very sophisticated and glamorous.

Great everyday lipstick!

The color is so pretty yet so versatile. This can be worn alone or under a gloss. It's more of a muted pink than it appears in the picture but that just makes it all the more wearable. It's so easy to overlook this product in the drugstore because the packaging isn't very cute like the other lipsticks but I'm so happy I decided to pick it up.

Great finishing powder for $5

I got this at Ulta because I was looking for a powder that would last me a while because I use powder every single day since I have combination skin and get very oily in my T-Zone, lids and especially on my nose. I don't like how messy this is, but maybe it's because it's my first loose powder. I love the finish of it, not cakey at all and makes my skin look nice and smooth. This is a phenomenal finishing powder but don't expect any heavy duty oil absorption from this. Overall, I really like it and I know it will last me a VERY long time.

Good for one coat, and one coat only.

The Flexor Brush killed this mascara; it is so flimsy and makes it really difficult to control if you're going for more than one coat. The formula is not buildable whatsoever, after the first coat, your lashes aren't going to get much longer, sorry. I would only recommend this mascara for reapplying mascara to give it a fresher appearance since it won't make your existing mascara all clumpy. Or, I would recommend this to anyone who only plans on going for an ultra natural one coat look because the finish of the mascara is wonderful- very natural and not dry looking at all.

Killer formula, but could use a better scraper.

This mascara doesn't have any of those fancy fibers or those rubber bristles, it's just a simple mascara with a good formula that is really versatile in giving you the look that you want. One coat can give you a defined and natural look, or with a few more swipes you can make your lashes look defined and dramatic. Your lashes probably won't look like false lashes but I still ended up getting compliments on how long my lashes looked when I was wearing this mascara. The drying time is perfect if you need to go back and fix any mistakes or smudges on your lid in between coats (in the washable formula). It holds a curl fairly well too even though the formula is very buildable. The only problem with this mascara is the scraper. I often find myself having to grab a tissue to wipe off the excess product to avoid clumping. Still, don't hesitate to give it a try especially since it's one of the cheaper drugstore mascaras.

A great everyday lip product

PROS -Doesn't dry out lips -Nice color selection with neutrals and pops of color -Looks more natural than a lipstick because it's more sheer (this may be a con for some) -Great for people just branching out into lipsticks -Nice finish

CONS -Staying power is not phenomenal -Price...it's a tinted balm basically, I think it should be cheaper

Lives up to the test!

I wore this all day yesterday for the first time; it did not smudge, flake, run, smear, or do anything! It stayed put the ENTIRE day outside in the summer's heat. I have oily lids too and most eyeshadows crease on me even with primer, but this did not end up in my crease. I was very pleased with the way it held up. This is great for beginners too, this is my first liquid eyeliner and the felt tip was a breeze to use. I would definitely repurchase this- it's so cheap too! I suggest purchasing it for $6 at Target and finding as many Revlon coupons as you can. At Target you can use a Target coupon and a manufacturer's coupon on the same item.

Great value!

-Light to medium coverage -Truly matches your skin tone perfectly -Not cakey -Very affordable -Similar to a tinted moisturizer -Has a slight, pleasant fragrance -Looks like you were born with great skin -Decent staying power when set with a powder
