ELF Lash & Brow Clear Mascara Review!!!

Hey everyone!!!

Today I'm going to be reviewing a product I've been using for the past two months, which, as you probably guessed from the title, is the ELF Essential Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara!

I first saw this product when my friend used it and showed me how to use it. I was really intrigued, and after almost a year, I sucked it up and bought it, for $1.

That's right, this beauty is only $1, and that's from the actual website too!! :3

I actually received it back in November, but didn't actually use it until about May.

This is what the actual product looks like. It's about the size of an eyeliner pencil, so it's easy to travel with. Both sides look the same, but the little silver ends tell you which end is which.

I haven't tried the mascara side, but as I'm sure you can tell, I've used the eyebrow side. It's really gross and dirty from my foundation, so I need to pick up a new one soon, or use the other side. 

When you unscrew it, this is what it looks like. Just a simple brush. :3 The other side looks exactly the same, so I didn't feel the need for a picture. 

But anyways, moving on!!

This is usually the second last step in my makeup routine, hence the colour of the gel. And since I'm applying moisturizer, foundation, concealer, powders, etc. my eyebrows end up all over the place. I'm not even kidding when I say that, and when I try using a normal eyebrow brush, for some reason they always just go straight, without an arch.

But this gel keeps them in place, all day long! For the first few hours, your eyebrows are actually kinda hard from the gel, but after that, they're totally fine. 

And it's really easy to remove with either a face wash or just a makeup removing wipe.

Everyone I talk to tells me they use clear mascaras, which usually cost about $5 minimum, which is kind of ridiculous, when you could easily save the four dollars, and get a two in one product!

After a few weeks of constant use though, I found the product on the lip of the product would dry up, which isn't a big deal. It occasionally would get on the brush, and then onto my eyebrow, leaving a tiny white clump. But it's more than easy enough to remove with another sweep of the brush. :3

Overall, I would rate this product a 10/10.

I can't find anything wrong with the product at all, other than the white clumps, but if I clean it, it'll be fine!

Garnier BB Cream Review!!

Hey everyone!

A few months ago I discovered the Garnier BB Cream and was SO excited. I had been looking for one to try in hopes to cut down my time spent on makeup.
The first time looking for it, I had no luck. Partly because I didn't know what it looked like. And if you don't either, I'll include a picture.

The second time when I found it, they only had the dark one. So if you have lighter skin like I do, it might be a little bit harder to find. But just keep looking! :)

Onto the review;

The first time I tried it, I thought it felt a little bit oily which I wasn't a fan of as I have oily skin already. I went with it anyways. When I got home, because of the excess oil, I had a BUNCH of breakouts all over.
I was extremely disappointed and left it in my makeup drawer for a few days before deciding to give it a second go.

Now that was a few months ago. I am currently on my second tube of it as I discovered the trick to using it ;)
Whether you have oily skin or not, I would definitely recommend a translucent powder for sure.
The one I've been using with the BB Cream is the Tony Moly Cats Wink Compact (I'll include a picture at the bottom)

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you're looking for full coverage, then this isn't for you. I have acne scars and my skin after being washed is pretty red, and I'd say it has about medium/light coverage.
My acne scars do look lighter, but are still visible. But the redness is always completely gone after.

Overall; 

I don't recommend this specific BB cream if you're not going to be using a powder over it or if you're self-concious about acne(scars). But if you're using a powder like I do, I think it's totally worth a shot! I really love it and I'll most likely be purchasing a third tube soon ;)
