It Really is a Snap! Maybelline Snapscara Review

By M.C. -
I'm not a person who usually gets excited about mascara, but when I saw that Maybelline was releasing their Snapscara, I was immediately intrigued.

If you haven't seen the ads, this is billed as a "washable" mascara, meaning that you can take it off with water. It also claims to be raccoon-eye free, which is pretty exciting. My impression is that it was designed to be an "easy to use" mascara, no mess, no hassle, and easy to remove. It comes in four different shades for $7.99 each. 

 This mascara really caught my attention, so, when I saw it at Ulta, I decided to pick it up. I grabbed two shades: Pitch Black and Black Cherry, which is kind of a red-brown color. I've been using both for weeks, and I'm ready to share my review.

First of all, I think this is a great concept for a mascara. Everyone who wears makeup knows that mascara can be messy and difficult to remove, and so many people don't want to deal with that. I think Maybelline wanted to develop a product for people who want something simple and easy to use, and they certainly delivered on that. 
 

This is not a dramatic mascara. It's not going to give you crazy volume or length, but it is easy to apply, easy to remove, and attractive on the lashes. It doesn't clump, and it gives decent length and volume. It doesn't crumble throughout the day, and it stays on your lashes. It's the perfect mascara for simple looks or when you're just going to school or work.

If you're looking for a super dramatic mascara that gives the false lashes effect, this mascara is not for you. However, if you're looking for a hassle-free mascara for everyday makeup, you'll probably really enjoy this mascara. It has definitely become my go-to mascara for natural, everyday looks, and I wear it to work all the time.

Final rating: 9/10

Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum by e.l.f.: Review

By M.C. -

I'm a big fan of e.l.f. complexion products, so, when I was placing a big order from their website a few months ago, I decided to check out this product: the Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum. I've used it quite a few times since the order arrived, and I have to say that the name is accurate. It does make your face look beautifully bare. It's almost invisible on the skin; it's like a light veil that downplays imperfections. It really is a "your skin but better" look. E.l.f. describes it as a "weightless silky formula melts into skin for a radiant and youthful-looking glow. The luminous, dewy finish helps boost suppleness and minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines," and I think that's a good description. The product basically illuminates and blurs your skin with a minimal amount of coverage. E.l.f. notes that this product has flawless coverage, but I think it's important to note that this product has very little coverage. It m

The De-Clutter is Real

By M.C. -

Let's get one thing straight, I have way too much makeup. I am confident that I will continue to have way too much makeup for the rest of my life. I have enough eyeshadow and lipstick to make sure that my lips will be sticky (weird choice of words, I know) and my eyes will be shadowed for the rest of my life -- and then some. Anyway, I don't mind having a lot of makeup, but, sometimes, it gets a little overwhelming (even for me). So, I recently embarked upon a de-clutter. I especially wanted to de-clutter some stuff because I was preparing to move and I didn't want to drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my next apartment (I'm fairly sure that I did drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my new apartment, but that's beside the point). Anyway, I managed to de-clutter quite a bit of stuff, and I wanted to talk about the items I'm getting rid of, so let's get into the details. These are the products I decided to de-clutter: Bright Set Loose Finishing Powder by S

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
