Review: Bambi Eye Mascara by L'Oréal

By M.C. -
My willingness to try new mascaras is ENDLESS.

Which is why I decided to pick up  L'Oréal's new Bambi Eyes mascara. L'Oréal claims that this mascara delivers "volumized, elongated lashes for a doe-eyed effect," which sounds absolutely perfect for me, 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'm not seeing the elongating element in this mascara. It gives my lashes a little bit of length, but I think the effect is minimal. Every mascara gives some length, but this was nothing exceptional. However, this mascara does deliver nice volume, so I enjoy that.

So, does this mascara give a bambi eye effect? I would say the answer is kind of. It definitely makes your lashes look full and dense, but I don't think it gives you the length that I associate with "doe-eyes."

Also, I should note that this mascara retails for $11, which I think is reasonable for a L'Oréal product. Although, as always, I wish it was a tad bit cheaper.

So, in conclusion, I think this mascara is just okay. I have nothing against it, but I probably wouldn't buy it again.

Final Rating: 7/10

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

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
