Hi guys! First off, I just want to say happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of you Irish and non-Irish people out there. I’m part Irish, and I enjoyed an Irish dinner tonight. With that aside, today I wanted to show you guys some beauty products and give you my reviews and personal opinions on them. I don’t know about you guys, but for me, springtime feels like a time where I want to buy a ton of makeup, whether I’ve heard great things about it, or it looks cool so I want to try it, and I thought that this post would really help you guys if you feel like I do. So let’s get right into it!
Face
Maybelline Fit Me Matte Poreless Foundation (112 Natural Ivory):
Five Stars out of Five Stars
I had never used foundation up until this month and I got this based on a recommendation from a family member. For my first ever foundation, this one is fantastic. It’s a liquid foundation, and it’s pretty easy to apply. You don’t even need that much of it for full coverage. This is a good match to my skin tone, it blends easily, and it feels lightweight, not heavy at all. Maybelline usually makes good products, so I would definitely recommend this to someone who is just starting out.
Equate sensitive cleansing facial wipes:
3 stars out of 5 stars
These makeup wipes are okay in my opinion. There’s no problem with the texture or anything like that. However, these do not have much makeup-removing solution in them. They are harder to use because of this, and for that reason, I have to rub these harder on my face to actually remove anything. I wouldn’t recommend these over something else, but I would buy these over an unknown brand.
Maybelline Dreamlumi Touch Highlighting Concealer
4 stars out of 5 stars
This concealer is pretty good. It’s not as good as other types I’ve used, but it’s good enough to compare plus it’s cheaper. This is a concealer with a built-in brush so when you twist the bottom, it comes up through the brush. I think this concealer is a bit weird because when it comes out onto the brush, it’s a reddish color, and it stays that color on your skin until you blend it in. Then it becomes the right color. That kind of bothers me, but I’m a bit OCD so that’s just my personal opinion. Also, I just prefer pencil/crayon concealer.
L.A. Colors Blush in BC141 Natural
5 Stars out of 5 stars
This kind of looks like a cheap drugstore blush, but it’s actually very good. This color suits me very well, and this stays on all 6 hours I’m at school. If I’m not wearing bronzer, this is pretty much the only blush I will wear. I wear this ALL THE TIME.
Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Rose Bush? (I’m not sure of the name because it wore off but this is probably pretty close to the actual name)
4 stars out of 5 stars
This is a peachy-coral color blush I bought around the beginning of the school year, and I’ve used it throughout. This is the first cream blush I have ever bought, but I think it is super nice. I prefer powder blush, but I think this is better suited for spring and summer. I think this color is really pretty, and looks nice on. However, this type of blush does not last as long as powder blush.
Eyes
Maybelline Great Lash mascara:
4.5 stars out of 5 stars
This mascara is the very first mascara I ever tried, and it’s great! I compared this to another mascara, but the other one’s wand is differently shaped than this one, and I don’t like that one as much. I love this one because you can tell that there is mascara on with only one coat on, and it doesn’t clump that much.
Lips
Maybelline color sensational lipstick in make me pink
5 stars out of 5 stars
I absolutely love this lipstick! The color is lovely pink-purple color that is perfect for springtime, and your lips do not show through it at all. I would recommend this lipstick to anyone.
Others
Garnier Fructis Miracle Dry Oil:
4 stars out of 5 stars
I would definitely only recommend the use of this in summer, unless you have naturally dry hair. This is great if the sun dries out your hair. It will make your hair look shiny and beautiful. However, do not use more than one or two sprays in all of your hair or it will look oily.
Children’s Benadryl itch cooling gel:
5 stars out of 5 stars
This gel is my favorite thing in the summer! It helps to make your sunburns and bug bites less itchy and feel relieved. The normal version does the same thing, but this one is better for those who have sensitive skin.
That’s all for my beauty reviews today! I hope you enjoyed my post, and see you next time!
