Hey guys! Today I decided to review the Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara. So if you have been around a while you will know that Maybelline has my favorite drug store mascaras. I am really liking this one. It creates very full fanned out lashes with a few coats and seems to stay put all day so no smudging. The only issue I have with it is the large brush because I have small features but I understand that is just so it CAN create that effect so I don't mind tooooo much. I just have to be careful not to get it on the lids. I would for sure use this again, I tend to alternate between different maybelline ones so I might not rebuy it right away but it will be in my line up.  

Hey guys!! Today I thought I would review the Essence I Love Extreme Mascara. Now if you have been around long you might know as far as drug store mascaras go I usually stick to Maybeline. However I saw this brand in my local CVS and they were half the price so I decided to give them a go. I have to say I am actually pretty impressed with this. It makes my lashes quite long with a few coats and makes them look fuller as well.  Now I will say it gets a bit clumpy, so if that is something that bothers you, I just wanted to mention it, but for me I don't mind too much. This also lasts quite well throughout the day, I haven't had any issues with it transferring onto my lower lash line or anything. Overall I actually think this is a great drug store mascara option for the price point (like $5 USD). I will definitely buy again!  

Hey guys!! Today I thought I would review the Mac False Lashes Mascara. Being from Mac I was expecting that this would be pretty good. It is a very good mascara and it gets the job done, it stays put all day. That being said, it isn't really any more impressive than a basic drug store mascara with how it looks. I kind of feel like it does the bare minimum of what it needs to do in the looks and effects department, which is fine, but I wouldn't spend $25 bucks for that, I would just go grab a decent drug store one. I would much rather use a Maybelline one (my fav drugstore brand of mascara btw!) than this to be honest. It isn't a bad mascara, just very basic.

Hey guy!! Today I'm reviewing the falsies Push Up Angel Mascara from Maybelline. This makes your lashes look absolutely beautiful. You get plenty of product on the brush, but not an excessive amount. Speaking of the brush I've never seen one made this way before. The only bristles are on the one top side of the curve. My guess is that this helps grab all of your lashes into the upward motion and curls them and lengthens better, but I don't know. The one thing I do NOT like about this mascara is how badly it transfers onto my eyelids when applying it. I pretty regularly get this in my eyeshadow or under my eyes and it smears a lot. So although I'd recommend this for the look, you'll have to decide if it's worth the time you'll spend cleaning up the mess it makes. If you are super careful it's awesome, if you tend to be in a rush you might want to skip this one.

  Ok guys, so I bought this a few months ago because I found out they had came out with a ton of new colors in this line and thought it would be cool to try.   The reason I haven't reviewed it is because I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO WEAR IT!! I have never had a white lipstick before and I have not found any way so far that this looks nice.   As far as the quality of these lipsticks, the quality is fine. They have decent lasting power (you would only need a few touch ups throughout the day...more if you eat and drink a lot) and they feel nice, but yeah I have no clue how to wear it.   Have any of you guys had a white lipstick before? Any other beauty gurus have any good ideas of how to wear this??

Hey guys!  Today I'm reviewing the Maybelline Dream Wonder Pressed Powder.   I've been solely using the same type of powder for years (Covergirl clean powder) so I thought it was time for a change.  Although I liked the one I was using I couldn't help but feel it wasn't working as well as it used to. In looking around the beauty section I came across this one, so I decided to try it out.  I actually quite like it. It comes with a sponge, but I have been choosing to use my  Real Techniques Powder Brush  instead.  This does a very good job of covering up shiny areas. I will say about halfway through the day you might need a touch up, but I think that's pretty good. My only complaint is sometimes I feel like after I've worn this a while it starts to look slightly orangey on me,  which obviously isn't a good look. I'm not sure if it depends on the other products I use or what,  but that is a bit annoying. Ove...

Today I decided to do a review on the Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express Mascara,  I've had it for about a month now so I thought it was time. Let me just say, it really really like the effect this has on my lashes, it makes them very long a fluttery, however, I do wish that the applicator was smaller, with the same effect. I have smallish eyes and the applicator is about the size of my eyes, so that means I tend to get mascara on my eyelids and under my eyes when I apply it, which especially if you are wearing eyeshadow,  is quite irritating. Also it flakes and gets mascara bits on my cheeks sometimes after awhile of wearing it by itself. Other than that though I do quite like the effect it has, like I said, and would probably buy it again at some point.

I saw a commercial for this and really wanted to try it and I was finally able to get it for my birthday. I actually really like this, it has light to medium coverage and leaves a kind of glowy look even though it's matte. I don't find this is the BEST for covering acne, but even with that in mind I still love it. It also matches my skin relativity well, I was debating between porcelain and the next shade up which I believe was Ivory, but I'm not sure. I went with porcelain and I think it's a good winter/ early spring shade for me. I think in the summer I might go up one shade, but I'm not certain.  I'd definitely recommend this if you guys are looking for a nice matte foundation with light/medium coverage for summer. :)

Hey guys, today I wanted to do a post on some new products I got. Now i'm not reviewing anything in this post, I just wanted to show you guys. I'll do individual reviews on everything in the coming weeks. :) So, first off: I ordered a few things from Nyx. I've seen other people using Nyx in videos, but these were my first products from them. They came in this adorable little lace bag, that I adore. The first thing from Nyx is two lipsticks. These are wicked lippies in the colors Scandalous (left) and Envy (right). The next thing I got was the Adorable palette. I was looking at the palettes and wanted to get one, but I couldn't quite decide which to get, but I'm quite happy I settled on this one because the colors are gorgeous. Nyx also sent me this freebie. It's one of there Lip Liners in the color Earth Tone. Let me just say I LOVE when companies send freebies with there products. I mean who doesn't love free stuff? And fre...

I only have a few products here that I hate because generally I like the products I purchase, but I thought i'd do this post anyways :) Now the first one is Sally Hansen Wax Strips, I love Sally Hansen, but I hate these. To be fair to the product it DOES do everything it claims to do and it is nice that it last about a month. The reason I hate it though is because I just cant take the pain. It hurts way to much to do that to myself repeatedly. But if any of you guys think you can handle the pain this does work. The next one is Not Your Mothers Knotty to Nice Conditioning Detangler. I hate this because it honestly doesn't work, I barely used any of this because of that. I finally just resorted to getting my hair trimmed to help which worked MUCH better than this. The last two might surprise you guys because when I reviewed these I still said some nice things about them, but after having them longer I realize I really don't like them at all. The Ma...

Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating Powder ( Review ) Maybelline Colossal Cat Eye Mascara Hello guys!! I do apologize for my lack of post lately, I just haven't felt much like writing, but today I thought I would do a post on my best makeup friends :) So obviously foundation and concealer are SUPER helpful and important if you have a break out or something and I use them almost every time I go out, but my two favorite makeup products are actually mascara and highlighter, those are the two that really finish the look for me. If I use nothing else I will always put on my mascara. With mascara and highlighter no matter how exhausted I am once I put those on I LOOK much more awake than I truly am. I just love those products and can't live without them. What about you guys? Do you have any products you can't live without?

I bought this last week the same time I bought the Maybelline 14hr  lipstick I reviewed last week(which you can find here .),  but I hadn't had a chance to test it till yesterday. The packaging looks like a lipstick but once you take it out it has a little applicator to apply it. It's also quite durable. As you can see below, it has nice color pay off if you use two to three swipes. I quite like the color of this, but I don't really think I'll be repurchasing it. Although it has good color payoff in the first hour or two after around 3 or 4 hours it wears almost completely off. And all I was doing was sitting in church, so I wasn't even eating or drinking anything to cause this. It also has a really unpleasant chemically kinda scent to it and a bad taste at first, but they do wear off. So for those reasons that's why I'm unlikely to repurchase it.

I purchased this Saturday to wear with a new black dress I bought so I decided to do a review on it. I have the color "Ravishing Rouge". I do like it, but I did find it to feel rather drying on my lips so I needed to apply a lip balm under it (which I typically do with all my lipsticks because I find they go on smoother) as well as a moisturizing lip gloss over top, with the gloss it felt much better on my lips. It claims it can lasts 14hr's, I don't believe this. I put it on before leaving for church Sunday morning and after coming home and eating and drinking soda at lunch it had all but disappeared. So maybe if you don't eat or drink anything it would last that long but not if you eat and drink things. One thing I do quite like that I wasn't expecting is that this particular color smells like cherry. It doesn't make any claims to that so that was quite a nice surprise. Here is a swatch of the color, it isn't quite this bright ...

Let me just say I love Maybelline and I really love their Baby lips lip balms. I have two of the colors, on the left is Cherry me and on the right is Pink Punch. I swatched them on my arm so you guys could see how they look, this time Pink Punch is on the left and Cherry me is on the right. I will say they are a little more pigmented in real life, it was hard to get that to show on camera. But they are still pretty sheer. Personally I like that though because you don't have to have a mirror to apply them cause that makes it SUPER hard to mess it up. They also really do hydrate your lips well, I can tell a difference for sure. Another really nice thing is that they are lightly scented Pink Punch has a kinda light fruity scent and Cherry me, as you might expect, smells like cherry. but in a candy sorta way. I would definitely recommend giving these a try, I think the colors are perfect for spring.
