Jordana !2 Hr Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil? Review.

This is a great alternative for MAC Paint Pot Soft Ochre, I use this as an eyeshadow base, super affordable, $1.99 at my local drugstore, you really can't go wrong. I do recommend this, nice and creamy and unlike paint pots, they won't dry out as much. 

Mascaras, Eyelashes and My Thoughts

After playing around with these new mascara's that came out at my drugstore around the same time, I am pleased to say that each mascara delivers a different look. 

The Cover Girl was the least favorite of mine, I felt like it did nothing to amaze my lashes.

The Rimmel London was alright, I only liked that it had Argan Oil, but as far as my lashes go-nada.

The Maybelline was the best of the three, my mascara's look volumized, but then again, Maybelline's mascara are always just about good. 

If  you are looking for a bit of mascara for a more natural look then Cover Girl maybe your kind.

For some healthy lashes and a little length, Rimmel London.

For some volume, and nice looking lashes then Maybelline. 

(I didn't do a full review on the Cover Girl mascara because I felt as if there was nothing much to review about, did nothing for me, their orange mascara is probably the better of the two, the pink packaging looks a little iffy for me, but nice try Cover Girl!) 

Lash Sensational by Maybelline Review

I was finally able to get my hands on this, about time, and this mascara is from Maybelline. The packaging is like a metallic pink bullet. Really eye catching, and you know me by know, I am a sucker for cute packaging, and of course quality. 

It claims to volumize from root to tip, it has a fan brush, almost similar to the L'OREAL but not quite.   The mascara formula is more thicker, which helps volumize the lashes. I am really impressed with this mascara, it's so easy to use, I like the outcome, it doesn't dry out really quick. I honestly couldn't compare the two mascara's they both achieve a more different look, L'OREAL claims to fan your lashes out like a "butterfly", but it gives no volume or length. this mascara gives volume. It does have that strong mascara smell, when you first open it, but it doesn't linger on your lashes once applied.

Could It Be? Maybe It's Maybelline.

I have a friend who works for Maybelline/L'OREAL and here are prodcuts that will be coming out in the months or years, how exciting! The Maybelline Brights palette was immediately discontinued for whatever reason so we will not see that again, sadly I wasn't able to get my hands on it. The Maybelline The Blushed Nudes looks super comparable to the Urban Decay Naked 3 which is $52. I do hope this time around the shadows are pigmented and smooth, the other two palettes (Nudes, and Smokes) were super chalky not pigmented a total fail. The Master Sculpt looks promising though, I don't own any of their blushes but I am excited for this! Although how they have it in the pans is super akward, like how am I going to get my brush in there?! As for the finale, the Master Conceal it looks sooo awesome, promising and I look forward for when this comes out, I hope this is just as amazing as their Age Rewind and FitMe Concealer that I love them dearly. I do now own these products and pictures, my friend does, and she shared them. I can't wait! 

Argan Oil, Mascara, Tell Me More.

This is the Rimmel London WONDER'LASH with Argan Oil, my first though of this is hmmm, Argan oil? Finally. Packaging is totally eye catching in a copper color, nice sized flexible brush, this product claims to not clump your lashes, and they are right, it doesn't even after the second coat. I normally wear 2 coats of any mascara. My lashes do look nice and conditioned because of the oil, I like that it takes care of my lashes, hopefully having oil, it should be easy to remove. I do not think it is dramatically volumizing, but compared to my bare lashes they are, a little bit of lengthing is going on. I really do like this mascara, and I can see myself reaching for it, especially that it has Argan oil, I do recommend this mascara, its not too bad and it doesn't wow me, the only reason it does is for ethe Aragan oil, like I mentioned, way to go Rimmer London, and thanks for the London look! 

Stay Tuned! Tomorrow's Review!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Shadows? I think so!

 The struggles are definitely real, I need to cut back on my spending make-up! LOL! But these shadows are beautiful, I am thinking of ordering them plus I have a 10% coupon in the cart waiting for me? What do you guys think? I also added my custom contour palette, the original one is not for me, I wanted 2 of the banana powders!

High-End Vs. Budget Friendly

What are some things that have to be high-end for you? What about budget friendly? As for me, I prefer high-end eyeshadows, eyebrow products, lipsticks, mascaras, primers and foundation. Budget friendly: mascaras, some foundation, liners (liquid, gel and pencil) blushes, lip glosses. We get the idea.

I am in no way saying that high end is the best stuff, I have tried some high end foundation (Becca and Estee Lauder) that is not comparable to my L'OREAL True Match. I have a lot of experience with make-up and I know what I like and what works best for me and my face, some things just do not cut it, like eyeshadows. I have tried Maybelline, Revlon, and even E.L.F and none of them are good quality, they are either too sheer, chalky, and they either do not have a good transition color, and sadly MUG shadows do not cut it for me, they are super smooth and pigmented, but I never reach for them, maybe they are the colors I choose, (Beaches and Cream, Creme Brulee, and Peach Smoothie)

As for blushes, I always reach for my E.L.F, they are my favorite and the best part is that they are $3. You can't beat that, they are super pigmented and have a decent color selection, I never find the need to go high-end on them because I have Melba from MAC and it's a close comparison to Tickled Pink (my all time favorite blush)

My brows are the most important thing on my face, they are my signature thing. I have tried just about everything but I will always go back to my Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade. End of that.

Settings sprays are still up in the air for me since L'OREAL came out with one, and I have yet to review it, but I do use my Urban Decay Oil Control spray that works fine for me, for now.

Eyeliners, I will never spend over $5 for a liner. No way. I do love when Too Faced also include their super creamy liners when you buy certain stuff. That of course I do not mind, but to buy one, no. I don't think they are worth it.

Is It Worth It? L'OREAL

We have so many brands of eye crayons out there, we for sure have the Rimmel London, Wet N Wild , Jordana maybe Neutrogena has some. What makes this one any different from the rest? Is it smudge proof? Long wearing? Was is it? For sure none of the L'OREAL are matte, they are all shimmers, that's a bust. I got the color 700 Forever Taupe. I like taupe colors quite a bit so I choose this one. At my local drugstore, it was $7.99. They had a nice variety of colors, the neutrals to the brights.  It claims to be 2 in 1 as an eyeshadow and primer, as the looks of it, I didn't even consider it being a liner more like an eyeshadow, do I really want to put something shimmery in my waterline, probably not. It definitely is smudge proof. I also tested it on my arm, and tried to run it and nothing, which is amazing. I also appreciate a nice color selection, I do wish there could have been maybe some matte eyeshadow sticks, because liners, they have them in every brand. Do I highly recommend them, well I do like them a lot, but for the price, I would just stick to the Rimmel Londen Scandaleyes sticks for a fraction of the price and they have good quality and are comparable to the L'OREAL ones.

50 Shades of Grey

  I am waiting for this movie to come out. I love the books, nicely written, I can really make out the worlds in my head by reading it, that is what a good book can do. I think the 2nd book was my favorite. Now for the role of the infamous Chrisitan Grey, I think they choose well, he has that dark side to him like the character, and as for Anastasia Steele, they also did well, she looks innocent like the character, Good job, cant wait for the movie to hit on Valentine's Day.
