Beauty Product Reviews
LOVE!
This product is AMAZING
First off, I have very strange hair. The strands are thin, but I have a lot of hair, so it's thick. It's pretty wavy, dry, and frizzy. It's very damaged due to the amount of blowdrying & straightening that I do (bad, i know!) On top of that, I hardly go for trims (i'm lazy! bad,again,i know!) It gets tangled very easily, has tons of split ends, and is constantly breaking.
This is how the product helps:
- Detangles my hair - Leaves it smooth after blowdrying - less frizz - improvement in the quality of my hair (although, i believe it's impossible to repair split ends. it's just best to get it cut) - hair is manageable
Some people dislike the smell, but I think it's fine, even pleasant. It smells like eucalyptus.
This product is a MUST HAVE. It really improved my hair. It's not perfect by any means, but I have noticed an improvement.
I was hesitant to write a review since everyone pretty much feels the same way I do. Oh, well. I'll just give it a go...
I've struggled with my eyebrows for the longest time. My brows are messy since I'm growing them out. This is the ONLY drugstore product I've encountered that has given me such nice, precise eyebrows. I even had a friend compliment me.
Unfortunately, the product does not last very long and breaks quite often, especially since it's so dry. The twist part that releases the product constantly breaks on me, so it is a frustrating ordeal having to use it.
I continue to buy this only because I love how it looks on me. If any of you can recommend a product with a thin applicator that allows for precise and natural eyebrows, please point me in the right direction. Thank you :)
Disappointment
I purchased Tender Mauve ( I think that is the name?)
P R O S:
_ GORGEOUS shade _ Color is great for on the go/everyday _ If you like glosses, this is great. _ initial color payoff is very nice for a balm
C O N S: _ felt a bit greasy _ color did NOT last. It seriously only lasts on your lips for about 5 seconds. I understand that it is a balm, but I expected it to stay on a little longer. _ not crazy about the price. _ didn't hydrate my lips like a normal lip balm, only initially moisturized it.
Overall, not worth your money. Can't wait to get a hold of the revlon lip butters (sold out everywhere in Hawaii...sigh) One 1/2 star because the color was SO pretty when I first put it on.
Hit or Miss. Depends on YOU, but I like Million Dollar Lashes better
My lashes: semi-long, criss cross / are messy, fall out easily.
My eyes: Not very sensitive.
P R O S: _ long wearing _ lengthening _ kept a curl (curled my lashes beautifully) _ added volume to my lashes _ enjoyed the thin tapered wand, making it easy to reach smaller lashes
C O N S: _ lashes stuck together (made them look 'piece-y') _ irritated my eyes (almost made my lashes feel as if they were being pulled because the formula was so thick) _ made lashes fall out _ tube was overly long and awkward C O M P A R E T O: Million Dollar lashes
Honestly, I prefer Million Dollar Lashes. I put MDL on one eye and VFL on the other and I MDL separated my individual lashes better as opposed to a clumping or grouping of my lashes.
MDL lengthened and added more volume than VFL. It also doesn't feel as heavy. MDL tube size was smaller, but the VFL tube felt WAY too long and awkward. I also wish VFL "wiped off" excess mascara like the newer MDL tubes.
O V E R A L L: Not a bad mascara, but, like I said, I prefer MDL. Also, It varies with the person.
P.S. I grabbed the value pack with the eyeliner, which I enjoyed.
Hope this helps! :]
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
I have this product in Plume
-Great formula -Not greasy -Smooth (feels so nice on my skin! ) -It's a strange thing, because it's a very pigmented product, but it is easy to build. It you want either a sheer, natural or heavy look, you can achieve it with this product -No funny smell ( that I noticed) -Matte finish -I love the color because it's a very unique mauve-ish color. -Stays on for a fairly long amount of time. -Great for on the go (can use fingers or brush to apply!)
I'm looking forward to trying the other colors in the future! Great product!
Ok, this is all I can think of for now. Hopefully this helps :]
LOVE!
This product matched my skin color very well. I debated whether or not to purchase this because there weren't any testers available.
-Matched my skin tone quite well -Definitely noticed an "airbrushed" look. Made my skin look very smooth -Did not notice the shimmer that most people commented on ( but I haven't worn it out yet, so maybe it'll show in brighter lights?) -Can be either light to full coverage. Easy to build -Seems to be geared for people with dryer skin. I have dry skin, but I would assume that it would be somewhat greasy on oily skin types. -Only need to use a small amount. It looks like a large amount in it's foamy state, but it still seems to be a lot of foundation. (I only put a small amount on my hand and I still had leftover foundation. I tend to like light coverage and I do have a smaller face, so less area to cover)
-Unpleasant scent. If you're sensitive to scents, I don't recommend this product. It almost smells like latex.
I don't have the product with me now, so it was difficult for me to remember. Hopefully this product lasts a long time and it seems as if this is a product you'd wan't to use sparingly. Hope this helps someone out there. Happy Makeup hunting :]
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
I LOVE this product. It's quick, easy, and affordable. The only thing that I love more than this product, is this product on SALE! :)
My hair color is a naturally dark and dull brown so I go back and forth between 565 (Medium Auburn Brown) and 426 (Dark Burgundy) Right now, I have 426 and I love it. I get so many compliments about my hair color. When I'm out in the sun, the intensity of the red definitely comes out and it looks beautiful!
It leaves my hair feeling soft and doesn't damage it at all. I've tried other hair dyes and I've been left disappointed by them.
Wonderful, if you don't have oily skin!
I absolutely love this foundation. I have very dry skin, so I really enjoy the dewey glow that it gives me. If you have oily skin, I highly recommend using this with a powder, since it will probably make your skin look even oilier. The staying power isn't fantastic (then again, what foundation actually does stay on all day?) The color matches my warm skin tone wonderfully and the coverage is light-medium. I don't care for the brush and I normally use my e.l.f. brush to apply it, but sometimes when I'm on break I find it convenient for a quick touchup.
Overall, I enjoy this product and would repurchase.
