Beauty Product Reviews

Best lash primer!!!

I got this as a sample size in the Christmas jewellery box set that came out, and I am in love with this product!!!! I find that it takes my okay lashes and really gives them a boost and separates them nicely too!! I love that this product can take an okay mascara and really bump it up to a fantastic mascara. I'm still using my sample size, but when it runs out I will for sure be purchasing the full size!!!!

Great Volume!!

This is a fantastic mascara for volume!! I feel that this mascara is at its prime when it has been opened for a couple weeks and it a little less watery. The one downside to this mascara is that I have to use a lengthening/separating type mascara with it because without it I find that the mascara can be a little clumpy, and my lashes aren't quite as separated as I want them to be. Despite this fact, the volume that I get from this mascara totally makes up for the little bit of clumpyness!!!

Did not like at all

I had read reviews on how great these gel liners were and I was in the market for a new brown eyeliner and the E.L.F. one was truly a disappointment for me. I find the color when swatched looks okay and then when I wear it on the waterline, it tends to bleed out on me, which is very rare for a gel liner - I've used Mac Fluidline, Physician's Formula gel liner, the Maybelline gel liner and the Wet n' Wild one and none of them bleed on me. As well when I wear it on the upper lash line, it's like the liner never sets and it transfers everywhere, I know I could set it with a powder but once again I've never had to do it with any previous gel/cream liners that I've owned. I really wanted to like this product but it was a big fail for me. I'm not sure if I got a "dud", but I don't believe that I could recommend this liner, when there are other great options at the drug store. Another big disappointment for me was that the brown was not dark enough for me - this is just a personal preference, but I felt that it was worth mentioning.

This is one of my favorite mascaras and I always find myself coming back to it!!! It works really well at separating my lashes as well as giving a little bit of volume - to really amp this mascara up I use the Colossal mascara over top of it so I can get the length/separation that this mascara gives and the volume that the Colossal gives. I tend to have sensitive eyes when it comes to mascara and this didn't make my eyes water or go red and another major plus with this mascara is that it doesn't flake off on me : )

Good

This was one of my first products I ever used from Benefit and I like it - I'm not in love with it but it is a good colour base for bronze/brown type colours and helps with make them last a little longer. I have had this colour for well over a year now and it has not dried up at all which is really nice considering the price tag. Now that there are less expensive alternatives at the drugstore ( Maybelline Color Tattoo) I wouldn't spend the money on this product again and I don't think I would recommend it if one could find a similar colour in the Maybelline line, but if there is a unique colour that you see and have the extra money their worth giving a shot.

Love!!

For the price I absolutely love these nail polishes!! For the colours that I own, it typically takes 2 good coats to get opaque colour. The only colour I have been disappointed with has been "sparked" - it's pink glitter suspended in a clear base, like many other glitter polishes I find it hard to work with, but does look pretty when pared with another pink type glitter or over a baby pink nail polish.

Not a good eye shadow primer but....

I hate this product as an eye shadow primer, but I love it as a base for my under my eye concealer. I don't know if I would re purchase this or not, because I really want to try the mac Prep + Prime Vibrancy Primer and I don't know if the high price really makes this product worth it.

Good Intro to Urban Decay!

This was one of my very first purchases from Urban Decay and I really feel that this product shows off the fantastic quality of different shadows and gives a good mix of bright colours and natural colours. I wish that there would have been maybe one matte shadow in the palette but I still love it regardless - it is usually one of my go to palettes when I'm in a rush.

Favorite Setting Powder!

This is my favorite setting powder of all time! I love that it is inexpensive and does the job. For me, I don't find that I have to re powder that often - if it is a hot/humid day than I have too. The only thing I would change about this product is the packaging - I'm on at least my fifth one of these and I have at least broken 2 of them just due to poor packaging. But because of the price I don't mind having to re-purchase a new one : )

Not my favorite...

What really turns me off about this foundation is the finish of it...I find it gives me a verrrrry "dewy"/greasy finish. When I use my setting powder the greasy finish goes away : ) The second thing I really dislike about this foundation is that it doesn't give a lot of coverage - I was anticipating it to give a little more coverage than it did. The product doesn't advertise to be medium/full coverage, I just had thought it would have more than it did.

The product to me has fantastic packaging - I love the design of the bottle {there isn't a pump, but that doesn't bother me a lot}. I also really like how easy the foundation goes on - not hard to work with at all. It's great too that this foundation has SPF in it.

I most likely wouldn't purchase this foundation again, I will for sure finish using up the bottle but I'm still on the look out for my holy grail drug store foundation
