ELF Baked Studio Eyeshadow! *(Recommended for Makeup Diaries!)*

Hey you guys!! I hope EVERYONE had a FABULOUS Merry CHRISTmas, or happy holidays! 

Without further udo,

So far E.L.F. products never cease to amaze me! :) These eyeshadows, like basically ever other ELF products are affordable. This was my first time trying out baked eyeshadows, so I was really curious to see what was in store! And like you already know, I obviously wasn't disappointed! I love how the colors show up, and how you can use them wet or dry and they give completely different looks! They seem so pretty, and glide on nice and easy! 

I've tried it paired with other elf shadows, and I have to say the color almost always looks nice regardless! It looks good alone, with another color, or it could be a good base with the lighter shades! 

OH YEAH, AND ITS ELF, ITS CHEAP!  :) 

The shadow that I picked up, doesn't have hardley any fallout! I also thought creasing would be worse seeing, they are powder eyeshadows, BUT THE CREASING DID GOOD! I wore it all day and had minimal creasing, even with paired with other shadows. The shimmer is really pretty and vibrant too!

If you're looking for nice, shimmery, cheap, and good quality baked eyeshadows, I suggest you try these! :)

The only con someone might have with these is the color range. If you don't reach for neutral colors a lot, and like bright, poppy, colors, you won't be finding them here, at least not for now. 

*P.S.:  I CAN NOT SAY ALLLLL OF THE BAKED ELF STUDIO EYESHADOWS ARE AMAZING! I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THEM!* 

*P.S., P.S.: I have the color TOASTED.

ELF EYESHADOW "C" (STUDIO) BRUSH REVIEW! *(RECOMMENDED PRODUCT FOR MAKEUP DIARIES!)*

Hey you guys! :) I FINALLY went to Target the other day and was really needing a new eyeshadow brush..so..I picked up the ELF Eyeshadow "C" Brush..and I must say..ITS FABULOUS!

I mainly love ELF products because there so affordable, and most time they're products are GOOD QUALITY! Sometimes that can be RARE to find!

Now without further ado,

PROS:

This brush isn't to compacted, which makes it easier to blend and isn't so rough on the eyelids. It picks up a good amount of color too. I can definitely see a difference using this brush. This brush works like a PRO in my opinion and for ONLY THREE DOLLARS?! How could you get any better? I have continuously wiped this brush, getting other colors off, so I can use other colors, and I have had no fallout of the bristles yet!! I can already tell this brush will be long lasting, and very worth the THREE DOLLARS! When I happen to need a new one, I will definitely be repurchasing! It gets the job done.

What it looks like:

**EVERY review I had looked at at this brush has ONLY BEEN GOOD! :)**

CONS:

NOTHING!

**IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN WITH THE BRUSH THAT I DO NOT LIKE, I WILL DEFINATELY UPDATE THIS POST, UNTIL FURTHER ADO,

*If you have this brush, comment what you think about it! *

Finally back! (Another Maybelline color tattoo eyeshadow review!)

Hey guys! I'm REALLY sorry I haven't done anything in what seems like forever!
But without further ado, the show will now go on. :)

This time I will be doing a review on Maybelline's Too Cool Color Tattoo.

First off, here are a sew pictures:

Inside View:

Packaing

Swatch

So, its this really pretty white, cromeish/shimmeryish color. Just to let you all know, the main reason I bought this was I knew I already loved the color tattoos, & I wanted a white shade to make my eyes look refreshed that I know I wouldn't probably have to worry about or redo all day, based on my previous opinions on the other color stays I have bought.

Well, It's pretty good. Lets just say, it doesn't quite match up to the rest of my color tattoo family. (Bad to the bronze, Tenacious Teal, & Gold Rush.) Well its kind of like Gold Rush, it doesn't hold as long as the bad to the bronze or tenacious teal. I don't know maybe its with the shimmer in these? I think there a little lighter formula. So that might be it...Anyways, I wear it 7 hours a day at school and unlike my bad to the bronze, it creases. And you can really tell it too. Its also kind of faded at the end of the day too. I believe it wears off after about 4 hours of wear. I was dissappointed I really wanted this product to work out. Its not horrible, & I wear it every once in a while, but its just not what I had been looking for. Its also not as subtle for eye refreshing as I was looking for either. OVERALL, I give this product a 7.5 out of 10. For now, I will have to stick to Covergirl quad/NYX Paris palette/Elf palette. And find a light natural shade out of those.  I hope this review helped you guys out! I'll be updating more soon. Since I have a couple more days off. Even when I go back to school, I hope to keep posting regularly. THANKS SO MUCH! xo

Rimmel London's Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review (Recommended product for *Makeup Diaries*)

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing a pressed powder (duh right ^ ?) 
 So what this product claims..VV          (pictures at the end!! :) (No photos are mine..also the swatch pictures are not the color I have! :) I have..001 transparent     ;)

                                                     Claims:

• Up to 5 hours natural shine control (with natural minerals)
•  Helps minimize the appearance of pores. 

                          Do I believe thats what this product really does? Well...

 I think that this powder doesn't even have up to 5 hours of keeping the face matte. Maybe 3? I have to redo my face several times during the day (even if I packed on my first application) But when I reapply, I go ahead and use a heavier powder so it will help the horrible shiniess. This powder makes your face look smooth, but it can be easy to look chalky and cakey. I don't like this product very well but, if you don't have an oily face like mine, and you want natural, light, coverage, I say go for it. Its cheap ($ 3-5) and natural. Also it doesn't break ME out, but everyones different & I've heard different stories. Overall, if your face is oily/dry I wouldn't recommend. It will make the dry skin look noticeable! Other than that, if your a beginner, want something cheap, & natural looking coverage, you should be good! :) I also don't beleive they have a good color selection! 

Pros:

• Price
• (Can be) smooth & natural coverage (depends)
• Doesn't break me out

Cons:

• Doesn't keep face matte for long (also makes dry skin look noticeable)
• (Can be) cakey/chalky (depends)
• Not good color selection 

                                                                   Now for pictures!                                                              (see the dry patches..?)                    VVV

Elf HD Blush Review

Hey guys I'm back with another review!! This one I been excited to do to see how the results turned out (because this product is sooo cheap!) 
 So I am excited to announce the results......(PICS & SWATCHES AT THE END..ALSO NOT MY PHOTOS..)


THIS BLUSH IS AMAZING! ALL DAY WEAR!! It will last you through school,work, etc. and you will not have to touch it up! At the end of the day it still looks fresh!! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND this product if you don't have time to touch up or hate to. I love how CONVENIENT the pump is. It is also SUPPPPER pigmented! AND it is ONLY 3 DOLLARS!! LOVEE! <3

 There are a few complications to this blush though..
     Getting back to its super pigmented..if your a beginner in makeup it might be extremely hard for you to control the spreading of the pigmentation on the cheeks. I don't have the darkest shade (which is pretty much encore but diva is the B R I G H T E S T shade) I have superstar like a rosy lightish pink and I still have to be EXTREMELY careful when applying so I won't end up looking unnatural and like a clown. (YOU ONLY NEED A VERRRRY SMALL DAB!)  Also after a few months of purchasing this product I noticed it started to look cracked..at least it still works fine. :P (I also wish elf would come out with more colors & go away from just all pink-purple colors and add some CORAL-light pink colors.) 

                                        OVERALL, I <3 THIS PRODUCT & WOULD DEFINETLY RECOMMEND!! <3 <3 

                                         

   PROS:

• CHEAP -ONLY $3 (3 DOLLARS) (OH YEAH!)
• AMAZING PIGMENTATION 
• COLOR LAST ALL DAY & LOOKS FRESH (IT REALLY IS HD!)
• NICE PACKAGING -WITH PUMP!

CONS:

• Not very good SHADES of colors (mainly just pinks no corals)
• Can easily look unnatural 
• cracks in packaging 

   ALL SWATCHES:           

COLOR I HAVE: (SUPERSTAR)

(ALSO SEE HOW ITS A LITTLE CRACKED?)

& FINALLY..PACKAGING (THE PUMP):

Masquerade Ball Makeup (& I've returned!)

Sorry I haven't been on recently! ......Lately I've been obsessed with Masquerade makeup! I think it's all SOOOOO pretty! Create a "makeup mask" so you don't actually have to wear a mask! Awesome right? Never thought of that till recent! Anyways, I couldn't post pics because of what I'm posting from, but there's a link from one of my FAVORITE blogs about makeup & such I found on an article about masquerade ball makeup!! Go check her out!! It's so beautiful!! Night everyone! (Hopefully I'll start posting more, it's almost summer, HURRAH!). Here:  Masquerade Ball Makeup

Makeup Diaries: Great Makeup Essentials For Makeup Beginners Part 1

1. Mascara: Of course what every girl needs in her makeup bag is mascara. This is a no brainer essential. With just a few coats, mascara can dramatically change your looks & your good to go. A great mascara for beginners is Maybelline's New York Great Lash Big Washable Mascara. 
2. Foundation : This is another great essential because most people out there don't have perfect skin, and the cause for this is multiple factors like: our skin is always aging, washing our face over the years/products we've used on our face over the years, scars, acne, acne scarring, harsh seasons, etc. Since your a beginner in makeup,  I would definitely suggest trying out drugstore makeup first (duh right?) Anyways so you can see how everything works, get into makeup a little more depth, before bargaining for high end products. Some of my favorite drugstore brands are Revlon for their foundations (people also rave about there lip butters, which is like a moisturizing lip tint- best of both worlds if you don't want to get into lipstick just yet. ) (If you don't really need much coverage for your face, I highly recommend just pressed or loose powders.) Like Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder($3-5) (Will do review later.) 
3. Tinted Lip Balm : For the beginners who don`t want to mess with lipstick just yet. You can get the best of both worlds like I said above with these, moisture & some color. If you want to look into these Revlon has there lip butters & Maybelline just came out with their new Color Whisper`s that are supposedly a lipstick but with somewhat translucent color properties.

   

 That's basically all for this post, I think I`ll do a series of this and call it the Makeup Beginner's Diary!  (None of the photos below are mine)

                                                     (Photos are not mine)

              ║ What they claim:

                     ● Instant moisture

                     ● All day color

                  ● Soft Suede Finish

                    

                                                     

                                                           ■ Review: 

   I do not believe it gives instant moisture more like the opposite, is drying. It does come in a variety of shades, but not a lot of different colors (if that makes sense). They didn't have many colors that really stood out to me, thats why I bought Muse, because it was one of the only colors that stood out to me. It applys very sticky & tacky, but I guess thats what makes the color stay on all day. At first it does give a soft suede finish, but after a few hours, just looks dry & flaky on the lips. Even though it starts to wear off (like in the corner of your lips) after a few hours, for the most part the lipstick and color is still left on the lips. It has lasted me through eating and drinking too. Make sure your lips are moisturized if you are going to where this lipstick. I like this lipstick, although it is a bit on the pricey side for a drugstore lipstick, the color does stay on pretty well, so I would buy again. 

                                                        ◦ Pros:

                                       ◦ Long lasting color 

                                       

                                                     

                                                       ◦ Cons: 

                                       ◦ Price

                                       ◦ Dryness

║ What they claim

• Long lasting 
• Super-saturated color
• Cream gel formula smoothes on for vibrant color that doesn't fade

  ■Review: 

Of course in my opinion, I believe that unlike on the package, they couldn't last a full 24 hours. I know its bad to say, because I haven't worn it for a full 24 hours. It doesn't smell. I've worn them without primer for school days which is about 7 hours and they did fade and crease a little at the end of my day. Even though that being said, it wasn't too bad. It was a lot better than any powder eyeshadow (especially Elf's). You can easily fix the creasing though, by gently rubbing the crease and it should go back to looking uncreased! The pigmentation (at least on the ones I have as seen above.) is AWESOME! They really do live up to the expectations! The ones I have really are V-I-B-R-A-N-T and shiny. I like how the shadow doesn't really fall on your face through the day (like a normal powder eyeshadow would even with eyeshadow primer.) These will not smudge easily, like everyone says, they really do stay in place as far as smudging<. They also do glide on easy and no brushes required! I can create beautiful eyeshadow looks with my just my fingers! I will DEFINITELY be repurchasing more in the future! Next I hope for Pomegranate Punk or Bold Gold! I'm also going to be trying some of there new METAL shades and see how those turn out! OVERALL, I LOVE THESE & they last AWHILE!!
