Product experience 

swatch

I bought the color 621 blonde moments you get .02 oz 0.07 g of product for $1.99

You get a pencil in one end and a spoolie on the other end. Both have a cap to keep the pencil and spoolie clean. But it doesn't stay in place and I keep jamming the cap in and it's starting to have tiny cracks.

There are four shades available I have the lightest shade which is blonde.The formula is waxy has a good color pay off and blends easily. It stays tacky even after it's been blended.

initial application

Pros

• Dual ended, you get a spoolie and pencil in one end
• The consistency is creamy and easy to blend
• It did keep my brows in place
• Has a cap to protect the pencil and spoolie end.
• Great for travel, doesn't take up a lot of space 

at 6 pm

Cons

• You don't get a lot of product
• The blonde has a weird greenish undertone
• The product has a weird tacky consistency
• Needs to be sharpened

It's a decent product and not bad, I just didn't like the greenish cast I got with the blonde shade. I did like that this held my brow hairs in place but I don't have the most unruly brows. You don't get a lot of product.

Product Experience

The product comes in a glass bottle with a pump, you get 100 ml 3.3 fl oz of product for $35.00.

The product has no color, has a light some what watery consistency

To use I just take one full pump and spread the product evenly across my face. I like to use this in the day time so I can layer this with my sunscreen.

I noticed that my acne marks were a lot lighter. But it did nothing to help lighten up my sun spot.

I don't like the scent it just feels like I'm putting a lot of chemicals on my face. 

Pros

• Comes in this nice beautiful heavy glass bottle.
• Has a pump and cap
• Created for all skin type but maybe not for sensitive, severely dry or oily skin types
• You get a lot of product 3.3 fl oz
• The product has a thin, light texture
• Easily absorbed by my skin
• Great for layering under make up
• Left my skin feeling velvety soft
• Now available at Target

Cons

• Has a floral scent nothing that lingers but it can still cause issues for anyone with sensitive skin
• Does not contain any sun protection.
• Expensive
• Not great for travel because the packaging is heavy

I feel this is an okay product, I had high expectation but this doesn't seem to deliver. I feel like I'm placing a lot of chemicals on my skin. I still have some dry visible dry spots after I have used this. I just was not wowed by the product.

It's available in 8 shades from basic blacks to fun bright yellow.The black sets to a matte finish while blue has some micro shimmer.The blue will stain your lids I didn't notice any staining with the black.It is an ink pot type of liquid eyeliner with a nice thin brush applicator.

sample

Product Experience

You get 25 sheets for $4.49 to use just take one sheet and wipe your face, the sheets felt very soft on the skin and the cleanser didn't sting at all. It does a decent job of removing eye make up, but not waterproof eyeliner or mascara.

Pros

• Very convenient, can be used any time any where
• Does not need water
• The formula felt hydrating and did not sting
• You get a nice big sheet
• The sheets feel soft

Cons

• Might dry quickly if you don't seal the packaging well
• It's not very good at taking off waterproof cream eye shadow, eyeliner or mascara.

I like this particular wipe, it feels very soft and does not sting. It does have limitation and doesn't take off water proof eye make up. It's still a good facial wipe.

It's limited edition and I can't find any information about the product.

Product experience

• Glittery pieces is comfortable

Cons

• The formula is very sheer

I was just disappointed with these glosses, on the tube they look nice and vibrant but they are just too sheer.

applicator

Product experience 

It comes in a squeeze tube with a plastic doe foot application. You get 0.40 fl oz 12 ml of product for $4.00 I got the colors glg781 babydoll is a blue based light pink and glg784 bombshell is a bright coraly pink.

I find that the product is some what liquidy but doesn't run. It's best applied with a brush instead of using the plastic foot applicator. 

This has really good color pay off but will only last a couple of hours especially if you eat and drink. Also expect this to transfer.

Baby doll and bombshell

Pros

• Comes in beautiful vibrant shades
• Comes in a squeeze tube
• 21 shades to choose from
• Has very good color pay off
• Inexpensive

babydoll

Cons

• Has a light fake minty scent, it doesn't linger.
• Feels a little tingly on the lips
• Feels a little thick but still comfortable on the lips.
• Not a longer wear lip color
• Best applied using a brush for a more precise application.

bombshell

All in all it's a good product, it's got good color pay off and inexpensive. I just didn't like how this felt on my lip. It's thick but not too thick and tingling sensation is mild but not something I like to feel anyway. I'm just not a fan of liquid lipstick as a whole.

Hi Everyone
I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing a nail polish for you. I've heard a lot of good things about the Julie G line of nail polish. This particular one caught my eye.

Product Claims

Candy shoppe colors jelly bean finish

one coat

Product Experience

 .35 fl oz 10 mls $3.99 the color Licorice twist 70194 which is a demi matte dark grey

two coats

I liked the color on the bottle, the product needs multiple coats to achieve that nice opaque color. It does dry quickly in between coats but when you have 4 or 5 layers it will take some time to dry. The texture of the product combined with the demi matte finish enhances the uneveness in the nails. So I highly recommend using a base coat. You can use a top coat but it will alter the nice demi matte finish.

four coats

Pros

• Dries quickly
• Comes in a variety of colors
• Demi matte finish
• Easy to store comes in a tiny bottle
• The polish feels light even with multiple coats. It doesn't feel hard or thick on the nails.
• Lasted a good couple of days on my nails, it just showed a little bit of wear on the tips

Add caption

Cons

• has only 9 colors to choose from
• You get a lot less product 
• Applies streaky
• Needs a base coat or top coat because the texture and finish of polish enhances uneven nails.
• The product has a watery consistency
• Needs multiple coats to achieve color opacity. I think I applied 4 coats of the polish.

after 5 days, showing wear on the tips

I love the end result I just did not like the amount of work with this product. It took a lot a layering just to get the right color.

Pros:

• It is a light product compared to UD which is cream base.
• This smooths out the skin
• Good for some one with dry or crepe eyelids
• Great for layering under long lasting cream eye shadows, especially the ones that's long lasting like.

Cons:

• My eye shadow still creased after only a few hours of wear, not for someone who has oily eyelids like me.
• There is a white somewhat pearl finish after the product has been blended.
• Feels like it has a lot of slip I'm thinking this product has a lot of silicone.

This is a product fail for me, it just didn't work for my oily eyelids. It just did not stop my eye shadow from creasing.

Mascara review: Benefit's they're real mascara

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the long hiatus, we moved to a new home and I'm slowly getting unpacked and organized. I still have a few boxes to unpack but it's a point where I can relax a bit and not feel overwhelmed by my chores.

Today I will be reviewing one of my splurges, Yes I caved and I bought Benefit's They're Real mascara. Normally I would never ever buy high end mascara no matter how good the claims to be. Mascaras have a very short shelf life 3 months only, so I definitely didn't to throw away money that quickly. Mascara's are just hits and misses even if there are thousands of raves about a specific product one still doesn't know how it will perform on yourself. Today I saw a sample size of Benefit's they're real mascara at Ulta and decided to get it.

Product Claims:

They're real! lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts & separates. Our jet black, long-wearing formula won’t smudge or dry out. A specially designed brush reveals lashes you never knew you had!What else you need to know:
94% saw dramatic length & volume*

90% saw base-to-tip curl*

94% saw visible lift*

100% saw long-wearing results*

*Results observed in a consumer panel survey

the brush up close

How to apply
Position wand horizontally & wiggle brush from side to side, base to tip, to achieve maximum volume, length & lift. Hold wand vertically & stroke upward to curl & separate. Layer generously as desired.

Details

8.5 g Net wt. 0.3 oz.

Beauty tip

Want a big, doe-eyed look? Fan corner lashes outward with the custom-domed tip. The precision bristles make it easy!

Product experience:
I bought the sample size it's a tiny mascara for $10 but the full size mascara cost $23. It comes with a rubber bristle brush.

Pros:

• Gives a lot of volume
• The rubber bristle brush was great at separating lashes.
• The ball tip is great at getting hard to reach inner and outer lasher

Cons:

• Very pricey $23 for a full size tube and $10 for travel size
• Can only be purchased at Sephora, Ulta online.
• The brush was rough on my eyelids, I just end up poking my eyelids and sometimes my eyes with the brush
• Takes a while to dry because the brush applies a thick coat of product.
• Feels very heavy and thick on the eyelids

I was not impressed by this mascara, I kept poking my eyes with the wand and that hurts. the results was good. Not worth the price tag for me
