Review: Urban Decay Glide On Cheek Tint (Indecent)

Hey guys! Today I have a review on the Urban Decay Glide- On Cheek Tint! This retails for $24, and you can find it where ever Urban Decay is sold. This come's in multiple shades, but the one I am reviewing is Indecent

The packaging is a bit tacky. The top is some weird, clear purple tinted plastic with.. a snake on it? I don't even know. It's cheap and easy to break. The bottom is light purple with the label. I hate this packaging.

                                       

Here's my shade- Indecent. 

This has a mirror, but it's in an awkward position for me.  It's a nice mirror, though.

This shade is a light, shimmery peach orange. It could also be classified as an apricot shade. It's an alright shade, but it DISAPPEARS INTO MY SKIN. My mom tried it, who is as light as... I don't know, snow?!  Still doesn't show up. This crap also turns orange. A cream product that oxidizes? I don't get it, but this sucks. It's waaay sheer, and it's thick and hard to blend. It also fades and wears off fast.

I get that this is a sheer product that you "build" up, but this is way too sheer even after several applications! They are so hard to work with and very messy! This has a super weird consistency that make's it hard to blend. It's like rock hard ice cream, but it's thick and gross. I can feel the sparkle chunks in this! This made my normal skin oily and shiny as well... Good thing I didn't break out! Ugh, this was a big, fat FAIL. 

I guess you could use this on your lips, but it's soo drying. 

Here's after I blended this. As you can see, it doesn't really blend, and it's still a big orange blob. Yay Urban Decay.

That's my review! I hate this product, and I hope you don't buy this! Good thing I got a good deal on this.. Ugh. If you have any further questions, please comment down below! Thanks guys..

Review: L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow (Golden Emerald)

Hey everyone. Today I have a review on the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Golden Emerald, 335.  This was $5.99 at Wal-Mart. These have been around a while, but my area hasn't had them in until a few weeks ago! You can find this at drugstores and mass retailers (Target, Wal-Mart, etc)

Review: Benefit That Gal Face Primer

Hey guys. Today I have a review on the Benefit "That Gal" brightening face primer. This retails for $29 wherever Benefit products are sold. (I have a mini of this product, btw.) On to the review!

Here's the packaging. The full sized is different from the mini, so I'm not going to go into packaging that much. The full sized is a cylinder shaped tube that you twist the bottom and product squirts up at the top. Mine is a tube you squeeze out, which I prefer. The label is pink, yellow, and white. Reminds me of Easter! :P

 The primer is a light pink shade, and is supposed to brighten your skin. The texture reminds me of... a liquid-y toothpaste. It's really weird! This didn't do anything to even out my skin's texture, and I didn't notice my skin being any brighter. There isn't any shimmer/glitter in this product, so maybe it was just designed to brighten since it's a light pink tint? Overall, this did nothing for me. It looked strange because I have an olive skin tone, and pink does not look very good on me! It made my skin look uneven and weird as well. I wasn't very impressed with this product..

Here it is after it's blended in. As you can see, I have a weird pink tint on my hand and it looks strange. It has no glitter or anything...

That's my review! If you have any further questions, please comment down below! Thanks guys! :)

Review: L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow; Endless Sea

Hey guys! Today I have a review on the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow. I got mine for $5.99 at Wal-Mart. These have been around for a while, but I couldn't find them since my area didn't have them ANYWHERE! You can find these at drugstores, mass retailers, etc. BTW, my shade is in Endless Sea! :) On to the review!

This lid is kind of weird. It's round, and the base of the product is square. It's kind of awkward for storing, but it's not too bad. The packaging is all right..

Here's the other side. Again, why a circle on a square? This really confuses me, no joke! Haha. I like how it's reflective (the circle), but it doesn't blind you! 

Here is the eyeshadow in the pot. It's a shimmery, satin eyeshadow that is a medium blue. It's a bit darker than a sky blue in the pot.

Here's a swatch! As you can see, this is a pretty sky blue when swatched. But, this is incredibly sheer. This was 3 layers, and it's still a bit patchy. It has no glitter, but it's pretty shimmery. The consistency of this is a creamy powder. It feels a bit cool, but I feel that the cream is the reason this is a bit sheer.

When this is blended out, it is sooo sheer. When it's blended, it's a light cotton candy-ish (the blue kind, obviously! haha) blue. Most of the shimmer and sheen goes away when it's blended out. 

I've found that this product doesn't crease, but it does fade a bit, which sucks because it's already so sheer. This has no fall-out, and it doesn't smear or smudge.

That's my review! If you'd like to know anything else, comment down below! Thanks guys!!

Review: Benefit Erase Paste (medium)

Hey everyone! Today I have a review on the Benefit Erase Paste. This retails for $26, and you can find it where ever you can find Benefit and where it is sold.

I have a mini of this, so my packaging is a bit difference. I love the packaging of this! The full size is a light purple instead of black. But, the black is cute, too! It has a label with circles/dots and the product name. The lid unscrews and voila! Your product awaits. Then, the bottom is clear so you can see the shade.

This come's in 3 shades. Fair, Medium, and Deep. I have No. 2, or Medium. 

Here's the product. Man, the lighting looked way better on my viewfinder! Sorry guys! Anyways, this product looks scary if you've never seen it before and just dropped the money on it. It looks ORANGE, but it's actually salmon colored to help conceal dark circles, which is the main use for this product. If it bothers you, because it is salmon toned after you apply, you can take the risk of creasing or sinking into fine lines and apply a lighter, more your skin color concealer.

Here's a swatch. This is pretty orange. It is SUPER thick, and creamy. You only need a little bit. This swatch here could cover my whole... nose! Haha! Anyways, it blends easily, even though it's pretty thick. It gives full coverage and doesn't crease or sink into my fine lines, but I'm pretty young so I don't have fine lines! 

As you can see, it's not very orange or salmon after you blend it in, and my skin is beige with strong yellow and olive undertones. It does appear slightly orange, but after it sinks into your skin a bit (a good thing, so it won't appear cakey) that goes away quickly. This product doesn't wear off, smudge, crease, or settle, basically. It's quite nice, and you only need a teeny tiny dab! The price tag is well worth it!

That's my review! If you'd like to know anything else, comment down below! Thanks guys! :)

Review: Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows

Hey guys. Today I have a review on the Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows. My shade is in Birthday Suit. These retail for $19, and you can find them anywhere Benefit is sold. These come in 12 shades, I think? I'm reviewing these because people are saying Benefit is coming out with cream shadows in new packaging, and people may be interested.

I found that they did live up to their name — they didn’t crease on me at all during the day, when worn alone or as a base for powder shadows. But, they did seem to perform better when used as a base, but I'm pretty sure almost all cream products do. I didn’t notice any creasing or fading when they were worn by themselves, so obviously they held up awesomely with powder shadows on top, haha! I'm glad that all the shades are shimmery, because matte cream shadows don't work as well for me. They are very creamy and easy to blend, so that helps me like them even more!

My shade is a faded antique gold. It has medium pigmentation, and it does sheer out when you blend it in. You can layer these, though, and they wont crease. It's very metallic and shimmery.

   

These are very similar to MAC paint pots, and a bit like Maybelline Color Tattoos. They are more sheer than color tattoos, but much more creamier. MAC paint pots have similar colors and the Benefit cream shadows blend a bit easier than MACs.

Here's a swatch of the product. As you can see, not very dark!

Wow. This looks like a bruise, sorry! Haha, this looks a lot better on your eyeball! It's just because it's a lighter shade!

That's my review. Hope you enjoyed! Thanks guys, if you have any questions, comment down below! Thanks.

Review: Limited Edition Baby Lips- Twinkle and Melon Mania.

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting a lot in the last few days, I've been sick! Anyways, today I have a review on Twinkle and Melon Mania, 2 of the 5 LE Baby Lips for 2013! I actually found these at Wal-Mart, and instead of Walgreens having like, 5 of each shade, Wal-Mart had at LEAST 30 Corals, 20 Twinkles, and 485046346803 Plummy Yummys! They were $2.97, which  P.O.s me I paid $3.99 for them at Walgreens. On to the review!

Here's the packaging. I didn't take a shot of these out of the cardboard, sorry! But, Twinkle is Blue with peachy-coral lettering, and Melon Mania is green with pink letters. It's fun packaging, lol, not much to say! :D

Twinkle is a very light pink, it's also kind of a nude-y pink. It smells like starbursts, and is one of the more moisturizing shades from Baby Lips! It has a slight sweet taste as well. Melon Mania is a fun, hot pink. It smells like fizzy skittles! It doesn't have a taste at all. By the way, no I'm not licking my lip balm. I tend to lick my lips a lot, haha!

Here is Twinkle. As you can see, it's very metallic and shimmery! It appears a bit of a champagne color on my hand, but on my lips it's a sheer, shimmery wash of color. It's very moisturizing! The shimmer stays on for about an hour, since it's just... shimmer. It's an awesome shade!

Here's Melon Mania. It's a sheer, medium colored pink on my hand. On my lips, it's a bit more pigmented. This one has a slight sheen, and some shimmer. It's not super good at moisturizing, I'd compare it to Peach Kiss, but it's O.K. The color stays on for about 4 hours for me, then I mostly have a very, very light tint!

Thats my review! If you'd like to know anything else, comment down below! Thanks guys..

Review: Maybelline MasterDuo 2-1 liquid liner

Hey guys! Woah, I have been reviewing A LOT of Maybelline products lately! Sorry guys! Covergirl, Maybelline, L'Oreal, and Revlon have been coming out with a lot of new products lately, but I don't use Covergirl, and Revlon is mostly face products and I hardly wear those! Stay tuned for some L'Oreal, though! ;)

Anyways, this is a review on the Maybelline MasterDuo 2-1 liquid liner. My shade is in Polished Green. I got mine at Target for $6.99 on an end cap. There are 4 shades, I think, in this line. On to ze' review!

Here's the product in packaging. By the way, people have been wondering what the bottom right hand corner is supposed to mean. I think it's showing the thick line and the thin line this product can create.

Urrgg. I hate when liquid liners are packaged like this! It make's it hard to store, but otherwise it's fine. It's a sleek, shiny black plastic bottle that is sort of triangular. The name of the product isn't on a label, it's printed onto the plastic.

This is the applicator! It may look scary, but don't worry. It's also a little tricky to use at first! The ball on the tip is to create a thick, dramatic line while the wand is to create a normal, thin line. It's not a firm applicator, it's very flexible, which I both dislike and like. I like when it's firm because it's easier to just swipe along your eye, and with it being flexible it can form to your eye shape! 

Here's a product swatch. The left is using the wand, and the right is using the ball. Honestly, there's not much of a difference. This is a VERY water-y formula. It took 3- 3 1/2 minutes to dry just on my hand. The shade is a very strange type of green. Sort of an army green, with olive undertones. When it dried, it was matte and did not budge. The formula is ehhh.

Lol, this product is really hard to remove. This is after 5 swipes of my Epielle Green Tea wipes. As you can see, it didn't want to come off! That's a good thing, for throughout the day, but may be a bad thing when your makeup doesn't want to come off! I didn't have to scrub at my hand/eye, but I had to push a little harder!

Thats my review! If you'd like to know anything else, please comment down below. Thanks!

Review: CO Bigelow Mango Butter.

Hey guys! Today I have a review on the CO Bigelow Mango Butter! This is a lip butter, not like the Revlon ones, and it retails for $7.50! You can find this at Bath and Body Works, and where ever you can find CO Bigelow. On to the reeeeview!

This is the packaging. It's orange and the label is actually a good quality label! I accidently got it wet, and it didn't peel off! Haha. Anyways, it's a circular package that has the screw up lid. It's classical packaging, and it's nice.

The actual product looks like this. It's a thick, clear balm (ew). The consistency reminds me a bit of coconut butter. It has no shimmer or glitter, but it does have a glossy look to your lips when you apply this. This product really doesn't moisturize or heal your chapped lips. Basically, it makes them worse or keeps them the same. This product is only good for if you have lips that are in good condition, and it will keep them that way. It's not super moisturizing, it just provides a thick barrier to things that chap your lips, such as licking your lips or the cold wind. It has no smell or taste to it, sadly! I wanted it to smell like mangos... haha! It stays on for about 4 hours for me without eating!

This is just the back of the product. CO Bigelow doesn't test on animals, this was made with 100% natural mango butter, and it was made in the USA. That's pretty much all it states, and then you have a peel-y label that shows you all the ingredients in this.

Well, that's my review! Hope you guys enjoyed! If you have any further questions about this product or any requests for posts, leave comments down below! Thanks for reading!

Review: Physician's Formula "Healthy Wear" Powder Foundation.

Hey guys. Today I have a review on the Physician's Formula powder foundation from the Healthy Wear line. I found this at Big Lots for $4! It's in the shade "Creamy Beige". I think at regular drugstores this retails for $10-$15.

Oops. I forgot to take a picture of the front! It's just orange with a little pink tassel, which the tassel looks pretty tacky to me. I'm guessing it's probably to grab it out of your bag easier or something related? Hmm. The packaging is nice, though. It's not too clunky, and it comes with a nice-sized mirror and the product is a lift-up compartment with a sponge. The sponge is a flat version of the Beauty Blender! I loved it, but too bad my dog took it off my vanity and ATE IT!! :(

See? The mirrors almost the exact same size as the powder! Anyways, this powder is awesome! I wouldn't really call it a foundation, as it doesn't give a lot of coverage, but it does cover up some light freckles and scarring! It's silky, and super easy to blend. My shade, Creamy Beige, runs a bit yellow. Oh, and this product doesn't even have that gross powder-y smell!

Here's a swatch of my shade. I would of took a picture after it was blended in, but you couldn't tell because it's an awesome powder that doesn't look cakey, but totally gives you coverage! I really love this powder!

Thats my review. If you'd like to know more, comment down below on this post! Thanks guys!

Review: Urban Decay Naked Skin/ BB Cream.

 Hey everyone! Today I have a review on the Urban Decay "Naked Skin" BB cream. This retails for $34.00, and as of now it comes in one shade. You can find this where ever Urban Decay cosmetics are sold. (BTW, I have a deluxe sample!)

Sorry for the weird picture. I need a better camera! Anyways, this is the packaging. It's a tan, sort of metallic sheen. It states all the information, names, blah blah blah. It's nice packaging! The lid is a screw off top with reflective mirroring.

This product is definitively a bit orange! It looks VERY dew-y, but we'll get to that later. This shade is obviously for people with yellow-toned skin that is medium colored. It has O.K. coverage. It covers a bit of redness, light freckles, and maybe blemishes if they are pretty much gone! I would call this a tinted moisturizer... This does tend to oxidize a bit, but since this product is pretty orange already... eh, this isn't the best... This also has a minty smell, like their Lip Junkies! I was expecting my face to plump up, but it didn't! Lol!

As you can see, the finish is pretty matte. The orange sort of fades, but it's still evident. This blends into your skin and looks nice, but it seriously has hardly any coverage. I think I'll pass on getting the full size! It's worse than a tinted moisturizer, or dead- on even to one!

That's my review. If you'd like to know anything else, comment down below. Thanks!

Haul: BBW, Sephora, and Urban Decay!

Hey guys. Today I have a haul from Bath and Body Works, Sephora, and Urban Decay.
Hope you all enjoy! I'll have all products listed, prices, and maybe a short review if I've tried them yet!

First up is Bath and Body Works! I've only went ONCE to their Hello Yellow sale, and last year I went 5 days in a row, spending $20 each! 

I got a medium sized candle for $4.50 in Farmstand Apple. It just smells like... red apples! Then, for $3 each, I got a Lemon Vanilla shower gel. I wish they had the mist of this! :( Then, a Strawberry Sparkler shower gel. I would of gotten the mist for this one, but it's a shimmer mist and I hate those.  Lastly, for $5, I got a Warm Vanilla Sugar fine fragrance mist. I looove this scent, but the only thing I had left was a bubble bath! Had to buy at least the mist!

Now, onto Urban Decay.

Here, I got the Deluxe Shadow palette, which I have a review up of this. It also came with a mini primer potion.

These were alllllll miiinnneee! Free samples! :D. It came with Sin and Mushroom samples (eyeshadow), and a card of their PP. Then, another PP card, and then a deluxe sample of PP. I actually don't like the UDPP... fail. Oh, and I used the code IPSY to get some of these samples. Not sure which ones were for that, though.

Then, I got a deluxe (?) sample of their new BB cream. A 24-7 shadow pencil in Delinquent, and a deluxe sample of their Lip Junkie in Midnight Cowboy. I love the Lip Junkies, but MC is waaay too sparkly and light for me!

Heres the travel-friendly bag the IPSY code came with, and then a $5 off code and a sticker. 

My mom ordered NAKED Skin, and she took the samples of two deluxe Supercurl mascaras, and the sample of 24-7 liner in Gunmetal.

On to Sephora!

Sorry for the bad lighting, my camera's viewfinder showed it actually really bright! These were $5 each. They are the glitter Sephora by Opi top coats!

The shades from L-R are 

The Golden Age

Hollywood If I Could

Come to Pappa-razzi!

Again, lighting thing. I got a Sephora Ultra Vinyl lip pencil, and two Hello Kitty glittercute liners. I've heard terrible things about the liners, but they were $5! So was the lip pencil!

The lip pencil is in the shade 07, Gorgeous Peach. I'll do a review on these!

The two liners are in Telephone (top), a very sparkly grey, and Grape Soda, a purple with some shimmer...

Thats my haul! I tried not to do things I've already shown, such as Baby Lips, Color Tattoos, etc. Thanks for reading! Bye!
