Beauty Product Reviews

Suprizingly amazing!

As always people are very skeptical when it comes to drugstore lip products that claim to plump your lips, because most of them fall down on the job, however this plumping lip gloss does what it says. When applying this gloss, you get an immediate tingley/refreshing feeling on your lips (which is a feeling you'll get with many plumping products). After a few minutes you will see a bit of a difference in your lip "plumpyness". This lip gloss has very interesting packaging, which is very eye catching. The wand is a clear plastic, making it quite unique, and the applicator is your typical doe-foot applicate. They have a descent color selection to chose from. However the colors aren't the most opacque, but you will get some color when applied. A real plus for this product, is that it isn't sticky at all, and doesn't look gooey on the lips. Over all, I would and do recommend this product to those who ask for a cheaper plumping lip gloss.

Great for that, but not this.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is a semi good product. It comes with a doe foot applicator that applies the product very nicely, but of course just like any other concealer has to be blended with a finger or brush. The texture is very smooth and light weight, and the consistancy is a bit on the liquidy side (but doesn't run). Now as far as the coverage goes, it's very low coverage. So this is where "great for this, but not for that" comes in, it doesn't work well as a coverage concealer but it works very well as under eye brightener, or dark circle highlight. The medium concealer in 20 (sand) can be used as a highlight and brightener. I recommend this product as an under eye brightener but not as a concealer.

Love/Hate Relationship.

This mascara is a love/hate product. The pigmentation is very opacque. Its a wetter formula mascara, but dry enough to be used on thin lashes. This mascara gives amazing length, and great volume. Your lashes will be noticably longer and thicker without clumping. There's also a very floral scent to this mascara, that is quite nice. However, this mascara flakes very badly, with every blink. If this producted didn't flake it might be the best drugstore mascara, but the flaking is too much of a problem.

Most reached for drugstore concealer.

Hard Candy Heavy Duty Concealer is the best drugstore concealer in my opinion. A lot of people say this is a great substitute for Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer, and some say they're dupes. The texture is very creamy, and smoothes very well into the skin. However it does attach to dry patches of skin. The concealer has a cream-like liquid consistancy (thick liquid). It's very opacque and highly pigmented. The coverage is definatly full, this concealer covers almost everything. The concealer pen was very suprising, it matchs the conealer perfectly and they blend so well together, and the pencil is full coverage as well. The best way to put it is "its like the concealer in a pencil form", everythings the same. I recommend this product to everyone looking for a cheap, full coverage concealer that gets the job done.

Amazing Lipstick.

Hardy Candy has to have the most adorable packaging for a drugstore product, it definatly helps sell. I bought this lipstick in the shade "Perfect 10" and it was love, it takes a lot for me to really like a product and actually consider buying it a second time, but this lipstick is a no brainer. It has a silky smooth texture, which feels very nice on the lips. The finish has a soft shine that's flattering but not over welling. And the color pay off is outstanding, however the only downside to this product is the staying power, it doesn't last very long (30minutes - 1 hour). On a high note, I do recommend this product.

Stepping It Up!

I remember when Wet N' Wild was a brand that was frowned upon, a brand you would only go to for a last resort, but now they're really stepping it up. First off, with these eyeshadows, they are great quality. Very pigmented, great color pay off and silky smooth, and 8colors for around $5 is a great deal. I recommend these eyeshadow palettes to plenty of my friends and family members, however I do let them know that although they are very soft some colors can be too soft and tend to sort of crumble, so I caution you to be gentle when applying because you don't want to shred your eyeshadow into dust.

Great!

This lip cream is over all great! It's very opacque and pigments, which is a definite plus when I comes to a lip product. With the doe foot applicator it applies very smoothly and evenly. There's two main reasons why I love this products so much, one is because it's true to it name "matte" cream, it has such a beautiful soft matte finish, and two is because it dries completely, so it stays on for some time without having to reapply every few minutes. NYX soft matte lip cream also has a very great range of colors to choose from. I highly recommend this product.

Love, Love, But Dislike..

The color payoff and pigmentation of these lip glosses are amazing! They have beautiful colors to choose from as well. I love everything about these lip glosses, the color, the texture, and especially the applicator! It's an oddly shaped applicator, it's difficult to describe, but it applies the products very well, better than the typical doe foot applicate. However, the only dislike I have about this product, is the smell. The odor of these lip glosses are very strong! They almost smell like Sharpie markers, I really dislike the smell. But if you could bare the smell, this is a great lip gloss to get.

Good Polishes, but over time..??

I happen to love Sinful Colors polishes, I own plenty. One downer I've encountered is that over time, some of their polishes tend to get very sticky and gooey, I'm not sure why but after they get like that theyre very difficult to use and become quite useless, I've had to throw out about 5 of them already..

For $1, it's ohk.

Not the best primer I've tried, but I didn't have high expectations from a producted only costing a dollar. This primer does allow the shadows to be applied evenly and more vibrant, however the staying power doesn't improve greatly, and the creasing is delayed but still happens. I wouldn't recommend this product for the working woman or the ladies who have long days (extending 5-7hours), I would however recommend this to high school girls or the ladies who are just looking to have a few hours out on the town, because after about 5-7 hours the primer doesn't do its job and your eyeshadow will crease and wear off.
