The Violet One Lash Primer by Milani: Review

By M.C. -
I don't normally use lash primer, but recently I've heard good things about the Violet One lash primer by Milani, so I decided to try it out.

I've now been using it for about a month, and I have some thoughts to share.

First of all, I should say that this primer DEFINITELY makes a difference. Sometimes, I feel like primers in general are just an extra step, but every now and then you stumble upon one that is really good.

This primer really does lengthen and volumize your lashes. In fact, when used properly, it almost gives a false lash effect. Milani calls it a "next-level lash primer with a better than falsies formula that really does it all," and I think that's pretty accurate. When layered with regular mascara, the primer gives you longer and fuller lashes.

However, this product does have some problems. First of all, it clumps like CRAZY. You have to be very careful when applying this primer, otherwise you end up with major spider lashes. That look works for some people, but it's not for me. Also, the wand on this primer could use some improvement. When you take the wand out of the tube, it is totally and completely coated in primer. I have to spend at least three minutes wiping off the excess product before I start using it. However, it's an affordable product, so I'm willing to put up with a small amount of inconvenience.

This primer retails for $9.99, which seems like a reasonable price to me. So, if you're looking for a new lash primer, I highly recommend you check this one out.

Final Rating: 8/10

Review: Tarte 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe

By M.C. -

I usually do my best to resist buying holiday makeup releases. Often, holiday products have a different formula and aren't as good as other products carried by the brand. However, sometimes holiday releases are just too good to miss. I recently grabbed one of Tarte's holiday releases, the 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe. As the name suggests, this is basically a face collection with nine shades of blush, highlight, and bronzer. I was primarily interested in it because 1) I like Tarte blushes and 2) the packaging was SO CUTE .  The shades come in three stacks that slide open and fold up as needed. Recently, I've been obsessed with things that come in this fun, folding packaging, so I'm really glad that Tarte released this product. I just think that this is such a good idea for travel and all that jazz. And, obviously, these little folding compacts are very easy to store, which is a positive change for Tarte considering their holiday releases are usually super

HUGE Declutter (Winter 2019/ Spring 2020)

I've been decluttering a LOT of products lately. I don't know if it's because we're all in lockdown or because I'm in Spring cleaning mode, but I've recently had the urge to really get my collection under control. I have way too many things that I don't need/use in my collection, and I feel like it's time to get rid of them. As a disclaimer, I will note that I'm not necessarily decluttering these products because they're bad; I'm decluttering them because they're not compatible with my makeup needs or because I have similar things that I like more. Most of the things I've decluttered will go to either friends/family or Project Beauty Share, a charitable organization that gives gently used or new makeup products to women in need. I will have to throw away a couple of these things because they're too old to give away. So, without further ado, let's jump into all the products I've decluttered! Emerald Obsessions Palett
