E.L.F. Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter ~ Review

I've been looking for a good highlighter for under my eyes to brighten them up. I've found the perfect under-eye concealer for me, but it doesn't do much brightening up. I decided to try this to see if it was any good. 

There are two ends: a concealer, and a highlighter.

The concealer didn't cover much on me. It kind of actually caked up a bit and stayed on top of the skin. It was very thin and fairly blendable.

The wand it pink but the product is white. The highlight is very sheer and doesn't do much. I can hardly notice I've even put it on. Again, it was thin and fairly blendable but it kind of just blended away. Not a huge fan of this either.

Top: Before
Middle: Application
Bottom: After

As you can tell from the top photo to the bottom, it doesn't change much. The dark patches are still there, and it adds a bit of flaky-ness.

Price: $3 8/10
Blendability: 8/10
Coverage: 3/10
Highlight: 3/10
Lasting power: 5/10
Packaging: Lids are loose, 5/10
Overall:  5/10

I wouldn't repurchase this or recommend. It's too bad this didn't work for me, but oh well, it was only $3!
That's all, bye!

Maybelline FIT Me Concealer ~ Review

Hello again!

I have had a lot of things on my mind today so I thought I'd take a break and Blog! Today's post is on my current favorite concealer, Maybelline's FIT Me! I've been using it for a month or two now and loving it! It super affordable, I believe I found it for around $5! There aren't many shades, but Fair (the lightest shade) matches me alright.

My tube is a little worn down as I use it everyday! The packaging is pretty simple and I like it. 

This concealer is super creamy and lightweight. I use it to conceal dark circles and it works wonders! It covers them completely and lightens my under eyes! It blends really easily and doesn't appear "cakey". I really like it and it's looks flawless when set with a powder. 

It doesn't last forever, but it lasts a good few hours. I think it's a great product especially for the price and I would definitely repurchase this!

OVERALL:

Coverage: 9/10

Price: 10/10

Packaging: Average

Blendability: 9/10

Lasting Power: 7.5/10

Would I repurchase?: YES

Would I recommend?: For sure!

Overall: 9/10

It has a simple doe foot applicator and I usually place a few dots under my eyes closer to the inner corner. I love this concealer and use it daily!

I hope this helps, Bye!

My Maybelline Collection! Best & Worst

Hello Everyone!
My mind drew a blank trying to brainstorm ideas for today's post. I ended up coming up with the idea of doing a makeup brand collection and showing the best and worst of my collection. I decided to start with Maybelline as it's one of my favorite drugstore brands! I hope you enjoy this new little segment/idea!

Starting with face, I've got 3 products!

Dream Fresh BB Cream: Around $9.99 This product has an amazing SPF of 30 and it's very lightweight! It doesn't provide much coverage but it blurs the skin and has moisturizing benefits. 8.5/10

Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser: Around $9.99 This wasn't one of my favorites from Maybelline. I feel like it very slightly blurred the appearance of my pores, but I could definitely still notice them. I was a bit disappointing and I regret purchasing this. 

6/10

Fit Me Concealer: Around $6 This concealer is amazing! It's very affordable and gives amazing coverage to under-eye circles! I use this daily and it blends so easily!

10/10

Onto eyes!

Master Precise Liner: Around $7 This is very precise and gives a great winged look. It's very easy to use and lasts long too! 

9/10

Eye Studio Gel Liner: Around $10 This is amazing! It is so intensely black and is so creamy and smooth. It's very easy to apply with a thin brush and it last all day without fading and smudging! This is definitely one of my favorites from Maybelline!

10/10

Eye Studio Baked Shadow: Around $6 This is not a bad product but it's nothing special. It's fairly pigmented but doesn't last a super long time.

7/10

Single Shadow: Around $4 I didn't really like this product as it's not very pigmented and it doesn't last. It just doesn't do much for me.

5/10

Lastly, Lips!

Baby Lips: Around $4 These are another favorite of mine! They are so moisturizing and give a light splash of color. They last a while and smell great too!

9.5/10

Color Whisper: Around $8 This is also fairly moisturizing and has great color payoff! It gives off more color than Baby Lips but less than a lipstick.

8/10

That's all for my Maybelline Collection! I've also tried many of their mascara but I don't currently have any. I hope you enjoyed!

Bye!

Top 5 Face Products!

Hello Everyone! 

Since I've already posted my Top 5 Eye Products, I thought why not continue and show my Top 5 Face Products!

I think face makeup really ties together the whole makeup look with a flawless complexion. These are my Top 5 "holy grail" face products!

I chose a variety of products from foundation to bronzer!

1: COVERGIRL 3 IN 1 FOUNDATION
My first face essential is the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation. This is my current favorite foundation! It blends effortlessly and it has great coverage. It also doesn't make you look super shiny but it's not exactly matte.
$10-$13

2: MAYBELLINE FIT ME CONCEALER
The next thing is the Maybelline Fit Me concealer. This is one of my new found loves and it works great under the eyes. It brightens your under-eyes and blends really easily.
$6-$8

3: BENEFIT WATT'S UP HIGHLIGHTER
I do only have a sample of this, but I still really love the product. It's the perfect shimmery champagne color which adds a gorgeous glow to your face. 
$36 (Full size)

4: NYX BLUSH PEACH
The NYX blush in peach is such a universal shade that goes with nearly any makeup look.  It's a bright pink color and it adds a natural-looking flush
$5-$10

5: NYC SUNNY BRONZER
I don't wear bronzer often, but when I do I really like this one. It's matte and it's really easy to blend.

And that's it!
That completes my top 5 face products, I hope you enjoyed!
Bye!

Product of the Week: MAC Studio Finish Concealer

So this week I've been using the MAC Studio Finish concealer a ton! I got a huge zit at the start of the week and this was my life saver! It completely covered it all!

Its really creamy but also thick. It's fairly easy to blend and if you set it with powder, it stays in place. 

I'm in the sahde NW20.

Anyways, there's not much tos ay about this other than it covers great and wears well throughout the day. I'd definitely recommend it.

Bye!
