Hey Guys! Today I'm going to be sharing some mini reviews of some products. The Covergirl Vitalist Healthy Elixer Foundation, Almay One Coat Multi-Benefit Mascara, and Luxie 640 Tapered Brush. I've been using the Covergirl Foundation in the shade 710 Classic Ivory for the past few weeks. It seems to last okay throughout the day. It claims to be a lightweight, oil free, full coverage foundation with SPF 20 in it. First off, the packaging is gorgeous. It's very clean and sturdy and comes with a pump which is always a plus. In response to the claims, the foundation is indeed lightweight however, it is not full coverage. It can be considered good solid medium coverage. I enjoy using it and it looks gorgeous in photos. It is oil free and hasn't caused me to break out. I would give this foundation an 8/10 only because it isn't full coverage as it claims to be. Next to the Almay Mascara in Black Brown. It does make my lashes look fuller and longer however, througho...

Hey Guys! So I've been trying out a lot of new products, wanted to review them for you guys and recently I received my boxycharm box for June. I received three masks by bioBelle and will be reviewing them for you all one by one.  In this post, I will be reviewing the #beautysecret mask which claims to moisturize, smooth and firm the skin. I feel as if the mask did a good job. It made my skin feel smooth and minimized my pores. It also managed to clean my face and pull out any dirt that was underneath. I applied the mask to clean, dry skin and kept it on for 15 minutes. The packaging instructs you to keep it on for 15-20 minutes so I tried it at the minimum. Even at 15 minutes I felt as if my skin was brightened, smoothed, and my pores were minimized. Amazon sells a 6 pack of these masks for $25 which breaks down to $4.16 per mask which isn't too pricey. I definitely feel they are worth the price and are a fair value. I will most likely repurchase. I would rate these an ...

Hey Guys! So while I was in Lancaster, PA my Dad and I went shopping and decided to do the Dad Buys My Makeup Challenge (Drugstore Edition). These are the products he picked out. He missed a few categories but this is what we ended up with. -Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless in 112 Natural Ivory. -L'Oreal True Match Crayon Concealer. -Covergirl Outlast All-Day Matte Finishing Powder in 810 fair to light. -L'Oreal True Match Blush in W1-2 bare honey. -Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow Palette -L.A. Colors Black Eyeliner -E.l.f. Lipstick in Party in the Buff -Physicians Formula #InstaReady Setting Spray He didn't pick up a face primer, eyeshadow primer, bronzer, contour powder, or highlighter. The blush he did manage to pick up serves more as a light bronzer for me. It doesn't really have much pigmentation to it. At first glance, I actually very much enjoy the setting spray by Physicians Formula. It feels very hydrating and is a decent sized bottle....
