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!

ELF Makeup Haul!

Hey lovelies!!

Recently I bought some stuff on the ELF website cause they had an amazing deal going where if you spent $20.13, you got $15 worth of products for free!!
I actually got the products last week, but I've been so busy, so I was never able to do a haul or anything. :c

I'm not going to be going into detail about the products I got, but when I review them all, I will post more pictures, swatches, colour names, etc.

So without further delay, let's get started!




Here's a pile of everything I got. It's obviously a lot :c
(keep in mind everything from ELF is very cheap and affordable)


One of the first things I got was the Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara, which I saw my friend use once and I wanted to try out. :3


I've been using my finger to apply my eyeshadow a lot, so I figured I would get some brushes. :3


I actually got two of the Plumping Lip Glazes. :3








(i'm really excited to try this one)












(this was probably the most expensive one, being $6)




(got two of them as well)




(this one is the Fuchsia Fanatic which I'm wearing now. :3)


(i don't remember ordering this one lol)






That's everything I got!
I'm going to slowly be trying the products out on my days off, so expect reviews when I do!! :3

If you want to see a video where I give the colour names, here it is!

Some of my favorite products!! :3

Hey everyone!!

So I haven't updated this blog is a long time, and I decided that I wanted to share some of my favorite products that I've bought online. So let's just jump right into it!

First thing we have is a liquid eyeliner.  I cannot say enough good things about this eyeliner. This is literally my holy grail item.
First amazing thing, it's under $2 (including shipping!!)
Second, look at the packaging. How can you not love it?!
And last, this stays on my eyes all day. It doesn't smudge or crease or anything. It looks flawless all day long. And I have extremely oily eyelids, so that's amazing.
I highly recommend this if you're just getting into makeup. It's cheap and lasts forever. :3

Next we have some makeup brushes.
I have a few high end brushes that only shed and leave gross hairs all over my face.
But these are amazing. They're under $3 and look adorable. They include the basics and have an adorable pattern. They don't shed either and are extremely soft on your face so they won't irritate anything!

This is probably my best friend.
Again, I have very oily skin, so when I put on foundation, it sometimes just melts off. But this helps prevent that. And the packaging is the best thing ever.
The only downfall is that it only comes in two colors (i use #1)
It goes on translucent and comes with a little applicator as well. I use this everyday and it's lasted a few months and I still haven't hit pan!
It's just under $13 and I highly recommend this item.

Next up, we have a mascara.
Now I'm pretty sure I've done a review on this before, but let's just sum it up.
One coat of this will give you longer lashes. But three coats or more gives you the look of fake lashes!
It's just under $8 which is great because when you're done with it, you can keep the brush to fix your lashes later on. :3 You also get some free samples.
AND TONY MOLY DOESN'T TEST ON ANIMALS.

And lastly, we have a sun cream.
This is a little on the expensive side ($14) but it's definitely worth it. You only need a little bit and it lasts forever. Now I'm going to mention it has a floral scent when you first apply it, but no worries! It doesn't last more than a minute after applying.
It has SPF 45 and also helps whiten skin and prevent wrinkles, which is great.
I got two free samples with this that I have yet to try. But I'm really loving this so far and I'm sure you will too!

That's all I have for you guys today, but I hope you all like them.
If you happen to order these, please let me know what you think of the items. They're all great in my opinion and I'll definitely be re-ordering them when I run out!!

Tony Moly Cats Wink Mascara Review!!

So I recently did a review on some bb cream, and I actually enjoyed doing it. Everyone's skin and preference is different, so reading multiple reviews is always good. :3

Today I'm going to be reviewing; 
Tony Moly Cats Wink Mascara


I first found this item on instagram, and instantly looked it up.

The packaging; 
The packaging is the cutest thing ever. Every time I pull it out in public, at work, or around family, everyone always asks about it.
The wand is perfect as well. It's smaller than what I'm used to, but it took no time to get used to!

(the wand)

The product;
I wasn't expecting a lot from it honestly. I had recently been using Maybelline New Yorks Lash Blast prior which worked great. But I decided after two years that I could switch it up.

I found that the Cats Wink Mascara gives my lashes more of a fake lash effect, which I love. I'm one of those people who cannot put on fake lashes to save my life.
Another thing I found was that if you are looking for the natural lash effect, you can still achieve it with this magnificent mascara! ^__^
One coat will do the job for natural lashes, and for the fake lash effect, I usually use about 3-4 coats and curl my lashes prior as well.

There are two separate formulas for this mascara as well. 
One for volume and long lashes (i use this one) and the other for curling and long lashes.
I already curl my lashes so I didn't think I would bother with it.

Overall;
I highly recommend this mascara to anyone and everyone.
The only downfall is that you do need to purchase it online. (click here to purchase it :3 free shipping + free gifts!! ^__^)

I can't say enough about this product. It's one of my favorites and I will for sure be rebuying it.
(it's also not tested on animals yay!)
