JANUARY FAVORITES





First product I have been absolutely loving that I have had for a while but thought I would share in case any of you haven't tried it yet is the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I use the lightest shade & use it to conceal and highlight!
It has a fantastic consistency! Its creamy but doesn't crease under your under eye. Its the best concealer I have used in a long time! When I am running late or having a day I don't want to wear a lot of makeup, I simple just use this under my eyes and on my problem areas and put a little pressed powder over top and I'm good to go! This product is a 10 out of 10 for me!

Another product I have been loving is again by Mayballine & it's their Studio Face Master Prime Primer. I'm currently using the one redness control & to blur any imperfections. I love this primer because it really does help with my redness! Its a green colour which helps mask the red colour in your skin. The consistency of the formula is great, its not sticky or tacky and dries quickly. I find this primer helps keep my foundation on all day! I work in a  restaurant so my skin gets oily and dirty quickly and recently since I started wearing this primer I have noticed my skin is a lot less oily after my shift! This product is an 9 out of 10 for me!

Again with the Maybelline products! No, I am not sponsored to talk about them, they are just by far my favorite drugstore product! This product could be my all time favorite (for this month anyways) & its their Master Contour, Blush and Highlight Pallet! I ADORE this product! Its creamy and pigmented and stays on all day! The highlight for me is to die for! Its so flattering on my pale skin and the contour is the perfect colour for my skin! I have been loving the contour colour for in my crease & the highlight for the inner corners of my eyes and eye brow bone! I am bringing this pallet on my trip for sure! Its perfect for the face & eyes!! 10 out of 10 for sure!

Since above I mentioned my eyes, a product I have been loving lately and have hit pan on each shadow is the Sonia Kashuk eye shadow pallets! I own every one and love all of them! My favorite is the brown natural with the silver/gold ish sparkle shades! Its has a great crease colour & the shimmer shade is great for a pop of colour in the center of your eye! I have been using this small pallet for almost a year & still have a ton of product left, a little goes a long way and the pigmentation is fantastic! This is also a 10 out of 10 for me!

& lastly this product is new for me and I have only been using it for about a week now but have been pretty impressed with it! Its the Rimmel 24 hour Super Curl. On the packaging is says no need to use an eye lash curler, the brush does it all for you & that's totally true! This mascara is great! It spreads your lashes while giving you the length and curl you desire. Its very buildable as well which is great! I use this mascara along side my number 1 which is the Maybelline Stiletto. I have always been a double mascara girl, I'm not too sure why but I find I always need to use two to get the length and curl I love! This mascara is perfect for traveling and will definitely be coming with me so that I don't need to bring a lash curler! This one isn't quit a 10 out of 10 for me but its pretty close with an 8 out of 10!

I hope you enjoyed my January Favorites and I hope this inspires you to try a few new products! These are all from the drugstore and very affordable! Again, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while but I made it my New Year's resolution to post more often! Now that I am not working I will be able to post more frequently! Be sure to check out my Travel Blog to see what I'm up to!! Thanks for reading!

COVERGIRL MASCARA REVIEW

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by!
I got a few Covergirl mascaras for Christmas and decided I wanted to share how I felt about them.
Keep reading to see my review on Covergirl Bombshell Volume Mascara, Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara & Covergirl LashBlast Length Mascara.

COVERGIRL BOMBSHELL VOLUME
Colour: Brown

When I received these three mascara's I was so eager to try this one first. I love the brushes in both ends however, I did find it hard to apply because of how large the mascara actual is. The first end of the applicator worked OK for me but nothing special. Once I switched to the second side it did add amazing length to my lashes but they got extremely stuck together! After wearing this mascara all day it didn't flake much which I love! BUT! when it came to taking this mascara off, it was a nightmare! Even the next morning this mascara was stuck in my lashes after numerous washes. I like to be able to take mascara on the go with me in case of emergency's  but with this one I couldn't. Its too large and awkward. Would I re purchase this mascara? Probably not.



COVERGIRL FLAMED OUT
Colour: Very Black 

This mascara is amazing! I didn't think I would end up liking the way the brush was shaped but it ended up giving my lashes a nice "flamed out" look! The formula is really nice in this mascara, it lasted all day and did not flake at all! I'm a huge fan of any mascara that doesn't flake. This one does that and more! The brush size and shape again, give a great flamed out look and keeps your lashes separated and curled. I got little to no clumping and love that this mascara was very buildable. I love the colour of the tube, its super fun! Would I re purchase this mascara? Absolutely!


COVERGIRL LASHBLAST LENGTH
Colour: Black

.





This mascara was great . I would recommend this mascara to someone who is just starting out with makeup. The brush is very easy to work with and gets right into the corners of your eyes to get those little lashes. I did find it hard to build upon and I would have preferred a more buildable formula. The formula was long lasting and did not clump but did start to flake at the end of the day. I loved how sleek the tube was and it was great to take on the go because of how little it was. Over all, a great mascara but not something I would personally re purchase.



MY RANKING!

AMAZING ! - Flamed Out!
PRETTY GOOD ! - LashBlast Length
ALRIGHT... - Bombshell Volume

REVLON LIP REVIEW

Hello everyone and happy new year!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a safe and happy new years. To jump back into the swings of things, I thought I would do a review on 3 Revlon lip products I received for Christmas!


REVLON COLORBURST
Balm Stain
045 Romantic
This colour is truly just like the name. Its a very romantic red. The red is not as pigmented as I would have liked but I have to keep in mind its a stain and not a lipstick. The smell is surprising, it has a hint of  peppermint and I really enjoyed it. Although this is a stain, it still gave me great moisture. Throughout the day I did have to touch this one up quit a bit, that's just because red lips need more attention. If you like a red lip that is more natural looking - this is for you! Its sheer, light weight and perfect for everyday use! 


REVLON COLORBUST
Matte Balm
215 Shameless

I'm completely in love with this lip formula! The colour is a little bold for me but the formula is to die for! I really enjoy the matte finish! It was very easy to apply and the pigmentation is amazing. Its very fill coverage and I did not see any patchiness throughout the day. This colour stayed on with little to no touch ups. The smell is smilier to the balm stain with a hint of peppermint. I will totally be going back to the store and grabbing a few of these in other colours!

REVLON JUST BITTEN KISSABLE
Balm Stain
005 Crush

This formula is the exact same as the colorbust formula, its very light weight and more of a sheer coverage. It really gives great moisture with a tint of colour. The smell is just like the others with a hint of peppermint. The just bitten was very easy to wear! I did not have to touch it up too much because even after it started to fad it looked very natural. This colour is gorgeous and perfect for all skin tones. Its the perfect deep pink. 





I really do enjoy all three of these products but I would really recommend the matte balm. I love the coverage it gives and that you didn't need to touch it up much throughout the day. If your someone who likes minimal makeup I would then recommend the other two! They are very light weight and more sheer making them easier to wear on a day to day basis.
I hope my review and pictures help when your shopping for your own lip products!
Stay tuned for my next review on Cover Girl mascaras!
