Review 2: Benefit They’re Real! Mascara

Here’s installment two~

(Disclaimer: These reviews are in my humble opinion. Occasionally, when there is a problem with texture, color, or “wearability,” the characteristics of the product can change depending on the skin type of the people who use it.)

The Benefit mascaras are kind of legendary, and I feel like every MUA on Youtube uses Roller Lash or the BadGal Lash or some form of Benefit mascara.

I spent a hefty $24 on this beauty (and I’m a cheap mf), so I was expecting results. Truthfully, I was underwhelmed. It’s nice and the formula is fine, but the wand is super spiky and the spikes are SHARP. I’ve poked my eye, made it water, and ruined all my makeup on more than one occasion.

Honestly, the Roller Lash or BadGal Lash mascaras are probably a little safer for injury-prone folks like me. I have the mini-version of the BadGal Lash that I’m not particularly fond of. If you’re hardcore though, and you have $24 to spend, give this mascara a try.

Overall, 7/10. The formula is whatever, but I need not use mascara that threatens to gouge out my eye. I’ll stick with my Maybelline Plush.

Review 1: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

Hey-o!

I’m going to start a series of reviews on makeup for my own reference and for any followers who are wondering which makeup products to purchase if they’re aspiring MUAs like me.

(Disclaimer: These reviews are in my humble opinion. Occasionally, when there is a problem with texture, color, or “wearability,” the characteristics of the product can change depending on the skin type of the people who use it.)

ANYWHO, let’s get into it~

I have three shades of NYX’s Soft Matte Lip Cream: Cannes, Abu Dhabi, and Monte Carlo.

I have to say that I really, really love these liquid lipsticks. They are incredibly creamy, incredibly soft, and they smell like vanilla cupcakes. They dry matte, they don’t transfer very much, and they’re adorable. They’re INCREDIBLE, no lie. To me, they are must-haves in anyone’s beauty collection.

Plus, they’re only $6.00 on NYX’s website. They used to only have nudes/pinks/reds, but new colors have been released on their website like dark navy (Moscow) and bright purple (Havana).

Anyway, 10/10 from me. I’m planning on collecting them all.

How many altos does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, they can’t get that high.

How many sopranos does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

One, she holds it up and waits for the world to revolve around her.

[blossombombshells]

How many singers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Two. An alto to actually do it and a soprano to stand by and ask “isn’t that a little high for you?”

How do you know a soprano is at your door?

She can’t find the key and doesn’t know where to come in

I’m lucky enough to have the kind of love that makes my knees weak and my heart ache and my stomach flutter. I have that kind of love that brings me so close to another person and gives me such a strong connection with my partner that I don’t have to be worried about losing him.
