The Loch Ness Monster Likes Makeup Too

I've been doing some spring cleaning lately, and I decided that I really needed to buckle down and de-clutter some makeup (gulp). I managed to cut a lot of stuff out of my collection, so let's get right into the products I decluttered: Goodnight Sweetheart i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette by Sleek - I haven't used this palette in a long , long time. In fact, I kind of forgot that I had it. I did review it a long time ago , and I thought it was good quality and performed well. I just don't use this palette anymore, so I passed it on to a friend. To Reflect Shimmer Palette in I'll Have A Cosmo by Wet n' Wild - I've had this highlight for a long time, and I've never really like it. I don't know what it is about Wet n' Wild highlights, but I just don't get along with them. I know this is a popular highlight, but it just is not flattering on me, so I passed it along to a friend. Infallible Fresh Wear 24HR Foundation by L'Oréal - I ...

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 wan...

When it comes to makeup remover wipes, I'm often a little reluctant to try new products. I have my favorites (the Coconut Cleansing Wipes by Yes To), and I don't often stray away from them. However, I've been hearing one of my favorite YouTubers--Samantha March--talk about the  Patchology Clean AF Cleansing Wipes for a long time now, and I finally decided to try them. I picked up a four pack of the wipes (big commitment, I know). I've almost gone through one whole pack now, and I have some thoughts to share, so let's dive into the review! First of all, let's chat about price. Each packet of these wipes is $5, which I think is pretty reasonable. There's only 15 wipes in each packet, which seems like a below average number to me. However, they are affordable, so I can look past that. Now, let's chat about the actual product. I think these wipes are really good at removing makeup; they cut through makeup with very little scrubbing or wiping. Th...

The Too Faced Born This Way foundation has been one of my favorite foundations for a while. But when Too Faced released the Born This Way concealer, I didn't feel the need to run out and buy it right away. I have quite a few concealers that I enjoy, so I didn't really feel that I needed to try anything new. However, when I started hearing some of my favorite You Tubers mention how much they liked this concealer, I decided that I needed to give it a try. I've owned this concealer for a couple of months now, and I've had plenty of time to test it out. This is not a new product, but I wanted to give you a review anyway because I know there are probably plenty of people who are still considering whether or not to buy this product. In case you're in a hurry, here's a summary of this concealer: Coverage: Light to Medium Wear Time: Approximately 8 hours Finish: Satin Shade Range: Good (20 shades) My impression of this concealer is that it was des...

In their 1 millionth release this year so far, ColourPop created a new line of plumping lip glosses: the So Juicy glosses. Now, I'm not a lover of lip gloss, but I have been getting into lip gloss a little more recently, so I decided to check out these glosses. Before I start talking about these glosses, I should make one thing perfectly clear: ColourPop has another line of lip glosses and these are a) not the same as and b) not a replacement for those glosses. I have a couple of those glosses in my collection, and, while I like the formula, I hate the applicator, so I don't use them very often. On the other hand, the So Juicy glosses are an entirely new product from ColourPop with a new formula and shade range. Right off the bat, I want to say that I like the packaging for this product more than the packaging they use for their other glosses . It gives me serious party-favor-that-I-got-in-gift-bags-at-early-2000s-birthday-parties vibes, but I'm not mad at it. The...

It seems like every time I turn around, ColourPop has released ten new products. Okay, that might be a bit of exaggeration, but there have certainly been quite a few people putting in some overtime over at ColourPop headquarters recently because they've come out with a ton of new stuff over the past couple of months. Consequently, I've placed quite a few ColourPop orders recently. I've bought some new palettes and other big releases, but I've also picked up quite a few smaller, random products at the same time. Instead of reviewing each product separately, I decided to roll them all together in one place: Super Shock Shadow in I Heart This - For years, I thought I disliked the ColourPop Super Shock Shadow formula. When ColourPop first became popular, I tried a super shock shadow and didn't like it. So, after that, I avoided the super shock shadows. When the ColourPop Disney collection launched a few months ago, I decided to give the super shock shadows another try...

Every few months or so, I find myself embarking on a Bath and Body Works spree. In recent years, I've managed to get my obsession a bit more under control (it was really out of hand for a while, and I had built up quite the stock pile of B&BW products). However, when I see a B&BW sale going on, sometimes I can't resist. That happened to me recently, thus I have a B&BW haul to share with you: Ultra Shea Body Cream in Rose - As this blog post will probably communicate to you, I really enjoy rose scented things, and I always enjoy B&BW lotions, so the two of them together are a match made in heaven for me. The Ultra Shea Body Cream is particularly nice; it's very rich and creamy and luxurious. I'm definitely going to enjoy this lotion. Fine Fragrance Mist in Rose - I really enjoy B&BW's fragrance mists; I have a bunch of them. They're affordable, yet high quality, and the scents tend to be long lasting. I really enjoy this particul...
