Review: L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick

            
L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in 800 Fairest Nude.

Swatches on my hand and lips

Packaging: 5 out of 5
Quality: 5 out of 5
Price: 4 out of 5 ($5.99 at Target)
Overall: 5 out of 5
What I Think: I completely fell in love with Fairest Nude. Fairest Nude is a beautiful pinky nude lipstick that is more on the darker side compared to other nude lipsticks such as Myth by MAC. Because Fairest Nude is a little on the darker side, it makes it much more wearable and it's a color that will look good on different skin tones as well. The texture and formula of this product is really good. It's a really pigmented, creamy and moisturizing lipstick and It does last a while on the lips before you have to re-apply it again. The packaging is cute as well. Its very simple yet elegant and pretty at the same time.
Pros:Very moisturizing. Beautiful color. Goes well with many skin tones. Pigmented. Long wearing.
Cons: Absolutely NONE!

Review: La Roche-Posay Effaclar DUO Dual Action Acne Treatment

Packaging: 4 out of 5
Quality: 5 out of 5
Price: 1 out of 5 ($36.95)
Overall: 4 out of 5
What It Claims: Results in only 3 days. Dual action treatment reduces the number and severity of breakouts, improves pore size. Minimal irritation. Apply all over face one to three times daily.
                     Effaclar DUO has won the following Awards:
        • 2012 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner: Acne Treatment
        • 2012 All You Best Beauty Buys: Acne Treatment
        • 2011 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner: Acne Treatment
        • 2011 Real Beauty Gold Star Awards: Best Face Products
What I Think: I received this product as a sample and after two days I noticed a HUGE difference. I battle with blackheads and I have never been able to get rid of them and finally they are gone! I love this product and a little goes a long way so this will last me forever.
Pros: Clears skin up fast from blackheads/whiteheads. Will last forever you only need a tiny bit
Cons: The price is just ridiculous. If applied more then two times a day it can dry out your skin.

How To: Winged Liner

Four simple steps to create the perfect winged liner:
  1. 1. Using a black cream liner with a very thin angled brush (I prefer Loreal HIP cream liner in Black) gently drag the brush along your lashline starting from the top inner corner of your eye toward the outer corner of your eye.
  2. 2. Follow the natural curve of your bottom lashline and extend it out. Tip: The farther out you go the more dramatic the wing.
  3. 3. Connect the tip of the line you just created to the base of the original line you created.
  4. 4. Last but not least fill in the space you left and you're finished.

Hope that was helpful for you have a wonderful day.

E.L.F Mineral Eyeshadow


Descriptions of all the colors I own.
Elegant - shimmery pale color, very neutral, works with all undertones, great highlight, amazing wet.
Celebrity - shimmery pale amber, works with earth tones.
Earthy - Little shimmer, little green, layer wet for more color.
Mysterious - *matte* dusty grey purple, great everyday color for cool undertones, doesn't work so well wet. It actually has some chunky silver glitter not much and they just fall off.
Sassy - Warm reddish brown, shimmery, multi purpose, good neutral, wet or dry, works with all undertones.
Golden - Very shimmery gold, beautiful wet or dry looks amazing on during the summer.
Caffinated - A coffee bean brown looks amazing on anyone with any color.
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Quality: 5 out of 5
Price: 5 out of 5 ($3.00)
Overall: 5 out of 5
 
What I Think: The pigmentation on these eyeshadows are AMAZING! They're affordable but appear to be expensive. The most amazing loose eyeshadows I've ever tried I guarantee if you try just one eyeshadow out you'll want them ALL!
Pros: Beautiful, pigmented, good price, colors
Cons: There aren't any in my opinion

Lashblast Length!


Packaging: 3 out of 5
Quality: 4.5 out of 5
Price: 3.5 out of 5 ($8.99)
Overall: 4.5 out of 5
What It Claims: Our new Elasta-Nylon TM.  formula flexes without flaking, giving you extreme, notice-me-lashes all day long. Our longest brush ever gives you an 80% longer lash look.
What I Think: This is by far my most FAVORITE mascara! It does what is says it does. I already have long lashes but when i put this on they look even longer, and who wouldn't want extremely
long lashes?!
Pros: does make your lashes look longer, and seperates them beautifully
Cons: wish it would apply a little more mascara, sorta flaky


Left: Lashblast Length       Right: No Mascara

My VERY FIRST Blog!!

       I am very new to this whole BLOGGING idea. The reason I wanted to start a blog though was to give an opinion on make up of all sorts. I do have a channel on youtube.com but i rarely go and update because i don't have time to make videos because I'm currently in school. For my blog i will try and update once or twice a week so everyone wish me luck.

                                                   hugs and kisses,
                                                            Blake:)
