Hey guys! This is a collective haul from the past month! Hope you enjoy!
1)Physicians Formula : Happy Booster in "Bronze/Natural"
I got this guy almost a month or so ago. I got it on sale at Burlington, so if you are at a Burlington check out their beauty-section! I'm not overly impressed. I think this is great if you want to apply something really quickly without thinking about it much -- say you have two minutes to get your foundation, mascara, and blush/bronzer on. It's not very pigments, but I think those of you who don't like overly pigmented blushes might like it. As for me, I won't be picking up another PF blush from the Happy Booster Line because I think my elf and wet n' wild blushes are way better and cheaper.
2) elf Translucent Matifying Powder
I really like this powder. I have oily skin and this really mattifies! I will say that if you over apply it, it will make your skin look a bit dry. So use it sparingly. You will need to reapply at least once a day. I have 19-21 hour days and spend about 10 hours at school and I find reapplying once a day does the trick.
BTW: Sorry for the blurry picture! & FYI: It did come slightly cracked, but I have a feeling I just got a bad one because I've never had issues with elf blushes cracking.
I got it at Target for $3.00!
3) Physicians Formula : Organic Wear Mascara in "Ultra Black"
I've used this mascara before and I liked it. I'm glad I decided to repurchase it because, I REALLY enjoy it. It's not super dry or wet, it's in-between. Also, it doesn't dry super fast which lets me add more coats without it getting clumpy. It's truly super or ultra black. It seems to do it all volumize, lengthen, and darkens. As far as holding a curl, my lashes are naturally curled and so I can't really say. It doesn't seem to weigh them down.
It retails for $9.99ish dollars at CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens.
4) elf 3-in-1 Mascara: Lengthens, Define, & Volumize
I don't like this mascara. It gets clumpy really quickly. It makes me look like I have two eyelashes, it does not separate well. It is also weirdly difficult to remove. I use my favorite makeup remover, and it does a great job, but still have to use a little more product than I usually use. I wish I liked it more.
I got it at Target for $3.00.
5) wet n' wild: megalast 690A "blackest black"
I have a lot of NYX liners and have started looking for alternatives. I tested this guy a lot and came to the conclusion that I do like it if I use it on my upper lash line and/or to smoke out the lower lash line. BTW: it's a roller pencil that you don't have to sharpen. I like using to define my lash line, to make my lashes look thicker. It would make a great base for a smokey look. However, I did use it in the water line and didn't like it there as much. It didn't last was much. Give it a try!
I got it from Target for $2.99.
6) wet n' wild: Mega Liner :: Liquid Liner
I have repurchased this guy multiple times and have never been disappointed. I think it's a great liquid liner and dries matte. It lasts great and if you use primer, it will last even longer. I think the brush is really easy to use. If you have not, give it a try!
I also got it from Target, think it was $3.99.
7) Jordana's : sweet n' smooth :: nourishing lip balm
I LOVE LOVE these. They have the an awesome color selection and the pigmentation is amazing, I wasn't expecting them to be was vibrant. They really moisturize your lips without feeling heavy or greasy -- which I can't stand! I want to get them all!! Hahah! Give them a try. I wish I had discovered them earlier this summer! Also, they smell like watermelon. One con, they don't have the greatest taste.
Each were $1.99. I got them at an Asian/dollar store.
