Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog! Sorry I'm inconsistent with uploading content, I have a full time job plus a crap ton of events this summer so I'm trying my best.
Today I wanna talk about and give a review on a few products I picked up/got in the mail recently. I ordered a couple things online and purchased the others from CVS, so it's kind of like a mini drugstore/high end haul. Very mini. LOL. The items I got online were the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara ($23) and their Mascara Melt Off ($17). The items I got in-store from CVS were the Wet n' Wild Illuminating Face Palette ($4.99) in Catwalk Pink, Milani Conceal and Perfect 2-in-1 foundation ($9.99) in 05 Warm Beige,and the Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes ($8.99 each) in 11 Precious and 15 Gorgeous.
I have to say the two Too Faced products (say that 10 times fast) are fantastic! I know I'm late on the Better Than Sex trend but better late than never right? I love it! It makes my lashes super black, full and long. What else could you want in a mascara? Also, the Mascara Melt Off is amazing. I applied it to my top and bottom lashes, left if on for about a minute and then took my make up off as usual with micellar water and bam! it literally melted off. A+ in my book, I will continue to repurchase both as long as they're on the market.
Now onto the affordable stuff. I shop at the drugstores around me quite often and always pick up random stuff and always end up returning something but not this time! The 4 products I purchased from CVS were a huge hit with me. The Wet n' Wild Illuminating Face Palette can be used in so many different ways, all 4 colors can be used separate as highlighters or eyeshadows and if you swirl them all together you get a really nice soft pink color and for $4.99 it's a steal!
The Milani Conceal and Perfect 2-in-1 foundation is also fantastic. I have very oily skin (as I've mentioned before) and this works wonderful on me, It does settle into my smile lines a little bit but that's the case with every foundation I own, whether it be drugstore or high end. The color is perfect and doesn't feel heavy, it does make me a bit oily as the day goes on but I just use some blotting papers to fix that. I'm used to most foundations getting greasy on me, with the exception of the Tarte Amazonian Clay and Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless, so it doesn't bother me too much. It makes my skin look flawless as well, the color is near perfect for me, Another A+ product and at such an affordable price you can't go wrong.
Last but not least, the Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes definitely surprised me. They are a bit drying but honestly that's to be expected with any liquid lipstick. It's very liquid-y, not mousse-y, it has a similar formula to the Colourpop Ultra Matte's and although Colourpop is cheaper, the Milani ones are more accessible if you can find them at your local CVS. I absolutely love the colors, they are so opaque and gorgeous and stay on forever. I ate a bagel with cream cheese this morning and it did not budge!
Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed and please come back soon.
