Swatches & Review: Maybelline Eyestudio Brow Drama Pomade Crayons

sent for review | affiliate links

Hi, friends! I have another beauty review for you today. I'm always looking for ways to up my brow game and get #browsonfleek, so when Maybelline came out with these Eyestudio Brow Drama Pomade Crayons, I was curious to see how they worked. I received these for free to test out, and after playing with them for the past few weeks, I think it's about time I talked about them! 

Review & Swatches: PÜR Cosmetics HydraFluid Water Serum Foundation

Hi, friends! Today I have a new product to share with you from PÜR Cosmetics. I reviewed their new Cameo Contour Sticks just a few weeks ago, and now they're adding another product to their Spring 2016 lineup: the HydraFluid Water Serum Foundation. I've actually been in the market for a new foundation recently, so I was excited to see how well this worked. These babies are being released into Kohls and UTLA this Sunday, so you can use this as a sneak peek to see whether or not you'd want to pick one up. 

Review: CoverGirl Colorlicious Oh Sugar Vitamin Infused Lip Balm in Caramel

Hi, friends! You guys know how much I love tinted lip balm, so today I'd like to share with you a new product from CoverGirl: the Oh Sugar Vitamin Infused Lip Balm. These are part of their Colorlicious line (where you'll find a lot of their other lip products categorized). 

I'll be reviewing the shade Caramel, since that's the shade I received in the mail. I got this product for free, but that's not going to impact my review of it at all. But enough about that--let's get into the good stuff! 

Review + Swatches: PÜR Cameo Contour Dual-Ended Contour Sticks

Hi, friends! Today I'd like to share with you a new product I've been testing out by PUR Cosmetics: the Cameo Contour Dual-Ended Contour Sticks (say that three times fast!). They sent me all five shades to test out and play around with, and now that I've come to a conclusion on how I feel about them, I wanted to share that with all of you! Let's jump into everything. 

Review: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Makeup Lotion

Hi, friends! I know back-to-school season is just around the corner for many of you, but there's still a month of summer weather left! Today I wanted to share with you an interesting product that you might want to pair with your skirts and dresses, whether it be in the summer or year-round.  

Have you ever heard of leg makeup? It's like wearing foundation, only for your body. Crazy, right? Not really. Sally Hansen has been making their Airbrush Legs Makeup spray for years, and not too long ago they released a lotion version. Think of it as a temporary self-tanner, foundation, and overall goodness in a tube. 

Review: It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Black Mascara Primer

Hi, friends! It's been a little while since I last did a full review of a product, so today we'll be talking about the It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Black Mascara Primer. Phew, that's definitely a mouthful! As I'm typing this, I'm trying to say it out loud and I keep getting tongue-tied. I'll be referring to it as the It Cosmetics Mascara Primer for the rest of this review, just because who's got the time to say (or type) all of that?

Lip Balm Bonanza! Part Two

Hey, friends! As you may or may not know, I have a problem when it comes to lip balm. The feeling of dry lips makes me nuts, so I always make sure to have a tube of lip balm on me somewhere. Today I bring you another portion of my collection that I have acquired while on the search for my perfect, holy-grail lip balm.

Let’s move on to the good stuff~

NYX Color Lip Balm in Thank You ($5.33 for .14oz) 

This was in my February Favorites last month, and with good reason. It's a bright, watermelon pink color, and it’s quite pigmented for a lip balm. Since it delivers a good amount of color, I like to swipe this on my lip before heading out the door in the morning. It almost works like a lip balm and sheer lipstick in one! It’s not very long lasting, since it’s so buttery, but I’m okay with that. For some reason, all of the shades are different variations of “Thank You” in different languages (Merci, Grazie, etc.). Just a fun fact. I think this product was discontinued with the release of NYX’s Butter Lip Balms, but they’re still available on Amazon, because everything is on Amazon. 

Review: MAC Lipglass in Gitane

Hello, everyone! Today I’d like to show you a lipgloss in my collection that I’m excited to be pulling out for fall: MAC’s Lipglass in Gitane.

Like all of MAC’s Lipglasses, this wand has a doe-foot applicator. Doe-foot applicators are actually my favorite kind, since unlike brushes and squeeze tubes—which can be too messy for me—doe-foot applicators offer plenty of control and precision, which tends to come in handy with more pigmented colors like this one.

Review: NYC Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss

Hi, friends! Today I wanted to share my thoughts with you on the newest lip gloss in my collection: NYC's Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss. I received it in my Influenster Varsity VoxBox, and it's been awhile since I did an Influenster post, so I thought a review was in order! Let's take a look, shall we?

Influenster? What's that?: Influenster (non-affiliate link) is a website where you can earn points for talking about something you enjoy. I mainly concentrate on fashion and beauty-products, and by reviewing products, answering questions. and just generally being active, you can earn enough points to qualify for a VoxBox--aka a box of goodies shipped to you just for being a cool person. I dig it.

Review: e.l.f. Little Black Beauty Book: Warm Edition

Hi, friends! Today I wanted to review for you a thrifty find that I got at Marshalls. Did I need it? No, but there's no Target within a convenient proximity to me, and that's the only place I can get e.l.f. without ordering online (and I hate paying for shipping). So, I saw this baby on discount for $5 (marked down from $8--wow, I know), and for 48 shadows, I thought "Why not?"

Lip Balm Bonanza!

As some of you may know, I'm kind of a lip balm junkie (understatement). I love lip balm. I hoard it. I need it. I suffer from dry/chapped lips due to a multitude of reasons, and therefore, I'm always looking for a great lip balm. If I had to pick one cosmetic item, this would be it. Today I wanted to share with you part of my collection, to tell you what  worked for me and what didn't. I'm still on the quest for that holy grail lip balm, so if any of you have suggestions pleas leave them down below!

Review: Be A Bombshell Blush in Sweet Cheeks

Hey friends! Today I want to give you a more in-depth review of the Be A Bombshell blush I received in this month's Ipsy Glam Bag. 

Review: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Zero

Hey friends! Today I'm reviewing Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Zero.  

Review: Be a Bombshell Eye Liner in Onyx

Hi everyone! Today I'll be reviewing a product I received in my Ipsy Glam Bag from October: the Be a Bombshell Eye Liner in Onyx (.1 fl oz ~ $14)

Review: Smashbox Cream Eyeliner

Hi everyone! Today I'll be reviewing my favorite eyeliner the Smashbox Cream Eyeliner in Midnight Brown. It's kind of my Holy Grail eyeliner, and I've recently hit pan on it. There's always something so exciting but so sad about hitting pan on a product you love.

Review: Chella Eyebrow Defining Gel

Hello everyone! Today I'll be reviewing Chella's Defining Eyebrow Gel. I received a .12 fl oz. sample back in November in my Ipsy Glam Bag and it's lasted me a decent amount of time. I'm sad to say I think I'm almost out! I've really been liking it so far.

Review: Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Duo in Sunlit Sage 60

Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Duo in Sunlit Sage 60 ($7.50 ~ .64 oz.): 

Hello everyone! Today I'll be reviewing an eyeshadow duo that I've actually had around for awhile, but never used too often. I bought it for a Christmas party (not for this past Christmas, but multiple Christmases ago...yes I know keeping "expired" eyeshadow is bad, but I hate waste!) and didn't like the way it came out. When I used it, it looked really sheer. However, for this St. Patrick's Day, I really wanted a fun eyeshadow look, especially since the party I was going to was a 1920s St. Patrick's Day party. I decided to give it a second chance, and I LOVED the way it turned out. Maybe because I was using a different, newer eyeshadow brush that possibly picked up more color, maybe because this time I pat on the eyeshadow rather than doing a sweep over my lid. I don't know, but I was really happy and even received compliments on the look! 

Review: CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara in Black Brown

CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara in Black Brown ($8 ~ .44 fl oz.) - An oldie but a goodie! I've used this before and keep going back to it. As you can see, my tube is a little beat up, but I only hold on to one mascara at a time (because how many tubes can a person use up in three months?) and this one just goes wherever I go.
