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!
