First Impression of the Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious Mascara!

This is the mascara from my last haul that I was super excited to try! I absolutely LOVE the original Lash Sensational mascara, so I was curious when i saw the Lash Sensational Luscious Mascara! I mean, who doesn't want luscious lashes!?!?! I certainly do!

Anyways, this mascara seemed to have the same formula as the original Lash Sensational. The wand, however, was shaped differently than the original. Instead of being curved, its more of a straight cone shape. 
Honestly, I think I like it better than the original wand! I feel like it was easier to maneuver through my lashes. 

Heres a photo of me in natural light with NO eyeliner or eye makeup whatsoever. I think the results are impressive!
And here is a comparison photo with one eye done and the other bare. Lol sorry for the strange pose, i was in the car & bored when i took these photos.

The Smouldering Eye Palette by Ciate London and Olivia Palermo: Swatches, Photos, and Quick Review




I purchased this product during the VIB Rouge Sale and I absolutely love it; So,I'm gonna keep this review short and sweet with a simple pros and cons list!

PROS

  • The shadows are very pigmented and smooth- you can tell they are very good quality.
  • The palette's packaging is very nice, durable and sophisticated.
  • It is a great travel size palette. 
  • There are many different versatile shades with different finishes. You have the warm reds and browns and cool blues and greys. You also have satins, mattes, and shimmers all in one small portable palette. I LOVE IT!!!

CONS

  • Price is a bit steep at $39
  • It doesn't come with any kind of brush. I like it when my palettes come with brushes so I dont have to remember to pack one.
  • It can be hard to open; but, that can also be a good thing because you don't one it coming open in your bag.

Swatches

I took one photo with the flash to show how pretty and shimmery some of the eyeshadows are. 
The photo in natural light is more true to their color.

Get Ready With Me: School + Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation Demo

Hi! 
I made another Youtube video! My second one to be exact lol 
Its just a Get Ready With Me video. I filmed it before going to school one day. In my last video I didn't actually speak but, in this one I did. I was kind of nervous about uploading it because I really don't like my voice. But, I feel like everyone hates their own voice to some extent lol (thats how I make myself feel better)

Its a neutral smokey eye with winged eyeliner and a bright pink lip. I really liked how this turned out. Its a good everyday look. It can be casual or fancy, in my opinion. 

Here  some photos of the finished makeup & If you want to see how I achieved this makeup, feel free to watch the video. I had a lot of fun making it, so I hope yall like it! :)

Also, in the video, I use the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation which I did a full first impression of here. :)

Revlon Photoready Eye Art Topaz Twinkle First Impression




The Cream Eye Shadow:
  • It is very wet when you first apply it to your eyes. For the best results, close your eyes and wait for it to dry so it doesn't wrinkle up.
  • Blend it into your socket before it completely dries. If you don't blend, you will be left with a very harsh line. Once it dries you cant blend it any more, so work quickly because it will not budge!
  • My eyes burned  a few minutes after I finished all of my eye makeup. I couldn't tell if it was from this product or the eyeliner I wore, though.
The Glitter Eyeliner:
  • It went on very easily. I just lined my upper and part of my lower lash line.
  • The glitter shows up really well and isn't too over the top. 
Overall:
I really liked this product. It is very affordable at $7.99 and very high quality. I wore it for about 5 hours and it didn't budge. I was sad about removing my makeup it because it looked so good! This is  a drugstore gem! Because of this product, I wont be paying any extra $$ for a high end glitter eye liner anytime soon. Great job Revlon!
