Meview Monday: Mini Review: New Fav Products or Duds?!

Hey Guys! Welcome to Meview Monday (Review Monday ;)

So I wanted to give you some updates and mini reviews on some products that I've been trying out. Warning: This round of products is not good. :( 

This week I tried out the Yesto tomatoes clear skin acne fighting mask. It claims to get rid of acne and prevent new pimples from forming. I applied it to my face and left it on for 10 minutes. I noticed that it tingled and made my face feel nice and smooth, however it didn't really make a difference in minimizing my acne or preventing more breakouts from forming. Overall, not really effective for my skin. 4/10 because it felt very cleansing and smoothing. 

I've been using the Covergirl Ready, Set, Gorgeous Foundation in the shade 105 Classic Ivory. I've used it several times and have noticed that no matter what powder or how I apply it, by the end of the day I notice some separation. I don't enjoy using the foundation and I just feel like it doesn't have the coverage I would like. It's light coverage but nothing beyond that. 3/10.

The Wet n Wild Photo Focus foundation in porcelain was highly recommended online. It's gotten a lot of good reviews so I was very underwhelmed when I used it. Tati Westbrook reviewed it and loved it. I found it to be very light coverage. I applied it with a beauty blender and just didn't find it to cover any redness. It was a no go for me. By the end of the day it looked like I had no makeup on. 1/10. 

The last products I've been trying out were the equate Color Correcting blender sponges. 


I got a set of three. Two look similar to the Real Tecniques sponge, however the third looks more like a traditional beauty blender. They claim to correct redness and have vitamin e in them. I didn't notice any color correction. If anything, my redness seemed worse from hitting my face with these sponges which felt more like rocks. They were not soft at all and were very dense. I do NOT recommend these. They looked promising but are more gimmicky than anything. 0/10. 

Love you guys. Hope I have some more positive reviews soon. It seems I'm in a rut of bad products :( One thing I have been loving is influenster. It can be a really helpful tool for choosing products that you like and you can get free vox boxes which contain beauty products through it. I totally recommend trying it out.

E.L.F. Need it Nude Palette Review

Image
Hey Guys! So before I start this review I want to let you know that I received my z palettes today and filled them with my shadows. There is still some space in them that I might try to fill with Karity shadows or mac singles. Now onto the review. The palette comes with ten eyeshadows as well as a decently sized mirror. It costs $10 at the drugstore. Unfortunately, the third shade in the palette came popped out. (See Picture) The glue was not holding it in tight so that was kind of underwhelming for me to begin with. I had high hopes for the fourth shade in the palette. It looked like it would be a beautiful crease/transition shade. Unfortunately, it didn't even really show up. I didn't think this would be the same among the darker shades but unfortunately it was. If you see this and think it's a dupe for the naked palette. I would say think again. The shades may look similar but the fall out as well as the inappearance makes it really hard for me to even want to ...

Meview Monday: Violet Voss Flamingo Palette

Image
Hey Guys! So Today I'm going to be reviewing the Violet Voss Flamingo Palette! It retails for $45 at Sephora and comes with some nice summery shades. I enjoyed the shimmers and the pigmentation however, I found there to be a lack of crease/transition shades. If you click the link below, you'll find a look that I did with this palette and the Pat Mcgrath Labs Sublime Palette. Violet Voss Flamingo Palette Look In order to deepen up my crease, I had to bring in the Pat McGrath Labs Palette. There just aren't enough deep crease shades in the Violet Voss Palette. Is it a bad palette? Definitely Not! But, it's not for someone with only a few eyeshadow palettes. I would recommend it if you have a big stash and have some shades to compliment it. The lid shades are gorgeous but are not enough to make a look on their own. Overall, I'd give the palette 7/10. xoxo Christina
