Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind: Eraser Dark Circles Review

Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind: Eraser Dark Circle is a great product! Many of you have probably heard about the raving that this product has received and for a good reason as well! This highly pigmented product really shocked me and I will soon be needing to repurchase this product. 

As far as the product itself goes, I love it. The packaging however is a problem to me. The first no no that stands out is the puffy top. The applicator is basically a place for bacteria and dirt to harvest which causes breakouts. However, an easy solution would be to take off the applicator! This was very easy to do, and I would highly suggest this.

Another problem is that although to get the product is to twist (which is honestly very simple and easy), there is a lot of left over product left over in the bottle. I had tried to somehow open the top but I have had no success. The only way to get the extra product in the bottle would be to break it.

Overall, the product is fantastic, however the packaging is its greatest downfall. Although the applicator is an easy fix, all the wasted product is a slight pet peeve. Despite this, I will say that I am going to repurchase this as soon as I run out!

Farewell, my dollops of sunshine!

NYC Bronzer: Review

Oh boy Oh Boy, am I excited to review this bronzer. As some of you may have already heard, this inexpensive and accessible product is literally fanstastic! 

I'm glad I had this picture saved on my computer or else I would have had to show you guys a lackluster used up bronzer! After about 8 months, I've finally hit pan on this product. 

This inexpensive product is a great shade that I believe is suitable on most shades of skin. It does not show up too orange on skin and looks very natural. As well as being fairly pigmented, it is very build-able and easy to blend. 

For application, I like to use a powder brush, however I have seen people use an angled brush for easier contouring. 

This product only comes in one color which is Sunny. However despite the lack of shades, this color is suitable for many shades as I had stated earlier.

I would recommend this to many people as it is an incredible bargain! 

Farewell, my dollops of sunshine!

Mini Lipstick Haul and Review

Kate Moss: Rimmel

This lipstick is very very pigmented! Before I purchased this I had heard many people rave about this lipstick because of its affordable price and great color payoff. This lipstick can be a little drying, however most matte lipsticks are. This lipstick is called Rosetto. 

Arbon

My friend had actually given me this lipstick because her mom sells makeup, and I have previously told her before that I was looking for a dark and vampy lipstick color. This color is called Joy, and I absolutely love it. It goes on very smooth and it very pigmented.

Clinique

This is a lipstick that is like a my lips but better. It goes on kind of sheer, but I like how it looks very natural and not harsh at all. I'd say it would go for a day where I decided to make my eye makeup more dramatic than usual. This color is called All Heart.

Maybelline's: The Falsies (Waterproof)

The reason why I purchased this mascara is because my Lash Stiletto Mascara by Maybelline had dried out, and I figured it was due time I tried a new one!

This mascara has gotten many mixed reviews, varying from a great mascara to a not so great mascara. Along with holding volume, it makes my lashes thicker and longer. It may be because I have the waterproof version that it holds my curl, but like almost all mascaras, I need the waterproof version. The formula is not as thick as your usual mascaras, but it still adds a bit of thickness to the lashes. It also is very dark, so if you don't have the darkest lashes, this would be good to use.

Although it is not very visible in this picture, the brush is curved and has bristle brush. It does cause clumps, and the best technique would be just to apply it fast and not too many layers or else you will get a lot of clumps and lashes sticking together which is not a look which most people are looking for.

I like to use this mascara because it does hold the curl and it doesn't flake much. I don't think I will repurchase it, simply because I do like the Lash stiletto one better because it does not clump.  I do like the formula of the falsies mascara. Maybe if it were paired with a different brush, I would continue to purchase it.

Urban Decay Tinted Moisturizer Review

This tinted moisturizer with SPF of 20, is free radical fighting, light reflecting, and paraben free.

The biggest sell factor if this product is that it is paraben free. Paraben in products is used to increase shelf-life. It has alcoholic properties and prevents mold from forming. In the past years, it has been linked to breast cancer and fertility issues. 

The product itself has a nice dewy finish to it, and it is great for dry skin. It appears very smooth on ones face and also appears natural on the skin. There is not a lot of coverage, so a good concealer for spots would be a great investment for this product. However, I would not recommend this product to oily skin because it will cause more oil to appear on your face. 

A small of amount of this product will go a long way. As it evens one's skin tone it also proves to be very moisturizing. Although, it does have a sunscreen smell to it.

I would recommend for people with normal to dry skin who need light coverage.

Review Waiting for Tonight NYX Palette

 The Waiting For Tonight Palette by NYX, priced for $30, contains 32 eyeshadows, 3 cream concealers, 4 eyebrow powders, 2 blushes, and four 4 lip glosses.

This palette would be a great travel palette because of all of it's available resources. Most of the colors are suited for more darker smokey eyes and are meant for a night out look, however it would not be impossible to use this palette for a day to day look.

The eyeshadows are highly pigmented and are so easy to use, one has to pat their brush in the shadow and they are good to go!

Like a lot of cream concealers, these are very sheer and would not provide much coverage. If you need slight coverage these would be great concealers, however I prefer rich and thicker concealers because they provide more coverage.

The eyebrow powders are also well pigmented and are workable for the brows. With an angled brush and gentle hand, they will help form the perfect brows.

The blushes' color payoff was great as well. Although the lighter pink didn't show up that well on my skin (I'm a bit more tan), the rosier pink suited my skin color well.

The bronzer was fantastic. In a lot of bronzers, I have found that they have a reddish tone, and it was great seeing a bronzer that suited my tanner skin tone. Also the shimmer in the bronzer added a little pop to the areas where it was applied.

The lip gloss does not have that much pigmentation, however it does add a nice tint to the lips. Although they would not serve as great pigmented lip glosses, they will add a nice overall look.
