My Current Favorite: Mascara

Happy Saturday Lovelies! So, I'm thinking about starting this thing where every once in a while I update you on one of my current favorite beauty products and then give one of those products away to you lovely readers!

Today I'm excited to tell you guys about my favorite mascara at the moment, the Revlon Lash Potion. This is both a volumizing and lengthening mascara that claims to have strengthening proteins. It can be found at most drugstores for anywhere around $5 to $9. I absolutely love this mascara because it makes my lashes look HUGE! It gives them decent length and a ton of volume. The formula is not too wet or too dry and the brush helps it stay clump-free for the first 3 coats. I get compliments almost every time I wear it and I'm so excited to give a tube away to one of you awesome readers.

I want you to keep in mind that mascaras are never going to work the same for everyone. One of the downsides of this mascara is that it can flake just a bit after wearing it for a long time. It also doesn't do a lot when it comes to separating lashes so if that's your favorite aspect of a mascara, you might want to skip out on this one! I'm also sad to say that this is a US only giveaway. I'm so sorry international readers! Otherwise, I hope you all enter this giveaway and look forward to seeing more in the future!

NYX Invincible Fullest Coverage Foundation Review

Hello there lovelies! Today I'm going to be telling you about my experience with a new liquid foundation from NYX. This foundation claims to be full coverage without looking too matte. This sounded perfect for me because I have pretty bad skin due to acne and acne scaring yet I'm not a huge fan of super matte finishes.

My only complaints about this product is the amount they give you and the longevity of it. For $11.99, they're giving you .85 oz. rather than the standard 1 oz. which doesn't sound too bad but for some reason I seem to be going through this foundation really fast. I've only had it for about two weeks yet it's already almost gone even though I don' use that much of it at once. Keeping in mind that this does not claim to be a long wearing foundation, I do notice it slightly breaking down towards the end of the day. It's nothing too extreme but I would warn people with super oily skin.

Aside from that, I really like this foundation. I love the coverage, i'd say it's medium to full, and the natural finish. I find that matte finishes can sometimes accentuate some of my dry areas or acne spots whereas this slightly more satin finish did not. I'd say NYX put out a pretty decent shade range with this foundation and I'd recommend it to anyone that doesn't have excessively oily skin.

Bioré Self Heating One Minute Mask Review

Hello Lovelies! Today i'm going to be telling you all about my experience with Bioré's new face mask that contains the ingredient which seems to be the newest trend - charcoal. And that's not the only thing intriguing about this mask! It claims to be "self heating" when activated with water and requires only one minute of your precious time. It also claims to open pores and melt away dirt and oil. Before you start thinking "sounds like a miracle!", let me get to some of the not-so-great aspects of this mask.

The first thing that disappointed me about this mask is the amount of product you are getting. The last thing I was expecting while opening the box is to see "single use" foil packets inside! They personally don't irritate me too much but I know some people just can't stand them. For some reason I got a free mask in mine but normally there are only 4 "single use" .25 oz packets. At a retail value of around $7-$9, that isn't a whole lot of product. The second thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the application itself. My face needs to be pretty wet in order to get the nice heating effect, but even then the mask has such a dry texture that it was hard for me to massage it evenly all over my face.

That being said, I do enjoy the effects of this mask. The heating property is very pleasant feeling and after washing it off, I notice that my pores seem slightly smaller. My face is left feeling fresh and clean with a slight tingling sensation. If the packaging doesn't bother you too much I would definitely recommend this to anyone with combination-oily skin. I don't have dry skin so I can't say for sure, however, I imagine that due to this mask's lack of moisture it might dry you out.

My Introduction

Hey guys! My name is Brittany and for the past couple of years I have been obsessed with makeup. I watch tons of "Beauty gurus" on YouTube and read their awesome blogs! I find myself often wishing that I too could let people know when I've found an amazing product or learned a helpful tip. So that's my not-so-exciting story on why I created this blog!

My goal is to make my blog as helpful and as informative as possible. The content will mostly consist of: reviews, tips, savings, swatches, and any requests that you guys have on makeup, skincare, hair, tools, etc.! I will be posting mainly about drugstore products but there will also be some posts about higher-end products as well. I promise girls, I do my research! ;) and I've also had plenty of blogging experience thanks to my young adult fiction blog which you can look at here.

Thanks for listening! I hope you enjoy reading :)
