Hard Candy Fast & Fabulous Setting Spray

I always am looking for a good drugstore setting spray. With this setting spray, I didn’t really see too much of a difference than I usually did, although my makeup did not really move. This setting spray did not actually make my makeup last too much longer. It did last a little bit more than it usually would though. It worked about as well as any other drugstore setting spray. I would still recommend the Elf setting spray over this one, though.

Apologies

I have been so absent this past month. I’ve been so unmotivated but I am definitely going to get more into this tumblr. I will try to post more often and purchase more. Thank you to my followers.

Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama

I absolutely love this mascara! I got it at Walmart for about $7.50 USD. I was so nervous to try this mascara because I kept seeing others saying it just clumped the lashes. But after I tried this, that was not my experience. It definitely made my lashes look amazing. It does not clump my lashes at all. The formula is slightly wet but easy to work with. I did have issues with it getting on my eyelid. That was the only issue I had with this mascara. It gave me volume and it lengthened my lashes. The formula smells a bit like chocolate which personally I don’t really enjoy. I do suggest this mascara to everyone though. It is definitely one of the best drugstore mascaras I have tried.

I am absolutely in love with this foundation! It really does hide your pores. It does stay matte for quite a while but if you do have oilier skin, it will not stay as matte for as long. My nose is really the only part of my face that I find gets really oily and this does last most of the day but I do have to apply powder about 6-7 hours in. If you have drier skin but still love the matte look, I would not really recommend this still. It will not really stick a lot to dry spots but it does accentuate a little bit. I do really recommend this to almost everyone though!

Hard Candy Glow All the Way Ombre Blush

Not too long ago, I was looking for a highlighter that wasn’t too expensive but was still very pretty. I found this gem at Walmart for about $7 USD. I decided on the color Punch. And I am so happy I picked up this product! It doubles as a blush and highlighter. I use this product to highlight my cheeks absolutely every day! It gives such a pretty shine and glitter to the face! This product lasts pretty much all day. This is a definite need for anyone who uses highlights! Depending on where you pick up the product, you can get a different color. There is 1.17 ounces of this product so it will last quite a while. You don’t really need to use too much at one time because the color will really show through! I have recently gotten into highlighting my brow bone and this product is great for that as well! Also, if you want something that will not accentuate pores, this product is just right. The only downside is this product seems to be more for those on the paler side. For darker skinned people, this product might not work quite as well.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil

This eyeliner is amazing! It retails for $20 USD but I purchased it for $24 USD in a pack of this eyeliner and the Total Perversion mascara (review to come). I am pretty happy with this eyeliner! It is super black. As I have said before, I have issues with keeping eyeliner in my waterline but with this mascara, there is no issue at all! It stays on all day. It does not wash off at all with water. The only issue with it that I had was it was so soft that when I first tried to use it, the tip broke off but from that, I had learned to use a light hand! This eyeliner is definitely worth the purchase!

Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes eyeliner

I got this duo on Black Friday for $10 USD but it has an original value of $27 USD. Eyeliner for me is usually either a hit or a miss. Honestly, these are both eyeliners that I think are totally worth the price! I have super watery eyes but I love using eyeliner in my waterline. It’s been hard to find something that stays in my waterline all day. This liner actually makes it through more than half the day! It is completely matte, which is something I am always looking for, and it has a pretty decent pigmentation. The eyeliner glides on pretty easily. Once the eyeliner sets, it does not really smudge! It can smudge a little bit but when I had swatched these on the back of my hand, it took three days for it to fully come off! I do really like this eyeliner and I think it is worth it if you are in the market for a decent eyeliner!

Benefit Roller Lash mascara

I am always a little bit hesitant about trying new mascaras. But with this mascara, I was pleasantly surprised. I am so in love with this mascara! This is just a deluxe sample size but once this is gone, I am definitely getting a full size! This keeps my lashes curled all day. My lashes look long and full. The formula is super black. It does not flake at all. This is definitely a mascara everyone will love! IF you are in the market for a new mascara, I suggest checking this one out! The formula is not too watery but not clumpy at all. I cannot get enough of this mascara!

I purchased this product at Ulta for just 10 USD during their 21 Days of Beauty but the full price is right around 20 USD. Even at $20, this product is so worth buying! Anytime I do my eyeliner, I always reach for this product. It is so easy to use! The product has an indent for an easy grip. My swatches were a tad messily done but I promise you it is so easy to get a good line any size using this liner. The felt tip to this liner is super thin so it is easy to get right down near the lash line. Drawing a wing with this liner is so simple. It’s easy to fix a mistake and with the thin tip, it is easy to draw the outline you want. The color is so black. It dries matte black. When it is still a little bit wet, it does smudge a little bit but once it is completely dry, it will not move! Another plus is that this product is waterproof. I do plan on trying this when swimming but I have not gotten to do that. To get this product off you do need to use either a waterproof makeup remover or an oil. I do think that it can work pretty well for oily eyelids but it may move a little bit more. This product is definitely for anyone looking for a good eyeliner!

Baby Lips Dr. Rescue

Normally, I am not a fan of the Baby Lips products. This one is different though. Like I stated in a previous post, my lips tend to get very dry. I have never really found a product that keeps my lips moisturized for a very long time. I have had so much success with this product. It provides moisture for about a few hours. According to the Maybelline website, there are six shades available. I have shade 40, Pink Me Up. I love the little tint of color this product has. It has a minty smell which leaves a light tingle coolness on the lips. The price is around 5 USD. I really suggest giving this a try!

After the color wearing off from eating, wear

I got this product for 1 USD from the Dollar Tree. For the price, it was not an awful product.The color was very pigmented. the product went on my lips very smoothly. I have very dry lips and this product did not enhance that dryness! It seemed very moisturizing. There is a barely-there feeling of this product meaning you can’t even feel anything on your lips. You may just forget you put anything on. The staying power is okay. It does last a good amount of time and it leaves a stain but if you plan on eating or drinking, you will have to reapply this product. There are a few other downsides. I did find it a little bit difficult to apply. The applicator is a little difficult to use to get good lines around the lips, which it shows a little bit in the photographs which is why I smiled, to minimize how the product was outside of my lips. Also, if you do get it outside your lip line, even if you take care of it right away, it immediately leaves a stain on the skin so you will need to perfect the edges a little bit with some good concealer. Overall this product was pretty good for being only $1!
