Makeup & Skincare Reviews!

Since this has makeup and skincare products I wasn't sure where to put this so if I'm wrong I'm sorry!

Finally reviewing some products I've gotten this last month! I'm so happy with everything!

Skincare:
-The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter: I bought this with the intention of using it to take off my makeup before I cleanse my skin at night. HOLY GUACAMOLE THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. A little bit goes a long way and it does a perfect job at removing every little bit of makeup. Long wear foundation, lipstick, waterproof mascara, you name it, this removes it. It's so gentle on the eyes but very effective, I don't have to scrub really at all and it removes my waterproof mascara. Seriously a great product that I will definitely repurchase.

-The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum In Oil: This is also an amazing product that I will repurchase. I bought this to help with my hyper pigmentation and I can tell that they're fading a bit faster than they were before I started using it. Of course it still takes time and patience but I do see quite an improvement. This is also very hydrating so it gives my skin a little extra hydration at night and in the morning my skin feels so smooth, soft, and hydrated. I definitely recommend this for hyper pigmentation or if you just need a little extra hydration.

Makeup:
-Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer. HOLY. GRAIL. I definitely see what all the hype is about and it's absolutely proven itself worthy of all the positive things that are said about it. It helps my makeup last and keeps me from getting oily much longer. What I love about it the most, however, is what it does to my pores. I have large open/deep pores from damage/not taking care of my skin properly for far too long and makeup just sits in the pores and exaggerates them. I got to the point where I just excepted that as fact and there was nothing I can do about it. This does something about it! It fills those pores so beautifully and while there is one huge pore that doesn't get fully filled it still looks SO much better than it did before I started using this primer. A little bit goes a long way so I highly suggest buying at least the travel size (which is what I did) if you're curious about this product. You won't regret it!

-Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner: I have very hooded eyes and liner transfers onto the hood of my eye within an hour of wearing it, so I don't wear eyeliner at all. After reading a lot of reviews and doing some comparisons, I finally decided to gives liners one last chance and got this liner. It did not disappoint. While I probably won't be a liner every day kind of person (I quite like the no liner look on myself) this liner is definitely something I'll use when I feel like it. The liner is super easy to use and VERY black plus it didn't transfer onto the hood of my eyes, even after 8+ hours of wear. "Stay All Day" is definitely no lie and I highly suggest this liner to anyone going through the same struggle as I did.

I will :) I like the body shop and loved every product I have from there but I'm used to make up wipes. it's different than what I'm used to that's why I'm holding off on it. but I'll give it a try :)

I used to use makeup wipes as well but I found that taking off my waterproof mascara took forever and I had to rub harder than I wanted to. I don't have those issues at all with the cleansing butter, it's an amazing alternative (:

For makeup remover I use a mixture of olive oil and Virgin Coconut oil and it removes every last trace of makeup; even waterproof products!
