Emmarie, Heidi, and Avonlea Try Shills Black Mask

9/26/2016

After Seeing an Ad on Facebook for Shills black mask, I wanted to know more. My research into the product made me desperate to try it. I read product reviews on Amazon claiming that peeling the mask off of your face is more painful than natural childbirth. I decided that if the mask did everything that it claimed, the pain would be worth it!

My Make-up Haul: What Worked and What Failed

6/22/2016

0 Comments

Shopping at just Walmart and Walgreen's, I purchased an assortment of cosmetics to try and rate. My results are below. Please leave a comment if you have had experiences with these products, too.

Product: Wet N’ Wild Photo Focus Eyeshadow Primer
Initial Experience and Reaction:

When it first squirted out, it was a clear liquid, then it was fine
It has kind of a “glue smell” until you rub it in
It is a perfect match to my skin
I want it to cover up the veins in my eyelids, but it doesn’t
Positive side effect: It seems to have a firming effect
It seems to make it harder to blend my eyeshadow color
Makes a significant difference in staying power during exercise

After a Few Weeks:

The more I have gotten used to it, the easier it is to blend. Now I don't even notice it.
I still really love it.

Product: Milani Earthy Elements Everyday Eyes Eyeshadow Palette
Initial Reaction:

Love how soft it is
Beautiful matte pigmentation
Blends nicely

After a Few Weeks:

I don't reach for this palette as much as I thought that I would
The colors don't seem to look the same on me as as they do in the palette
I don't regret buying it and will still continue to use it

Product: Cover Stick by Maybelline
Initial Reaction:

Great for forehead acne
Didn’t work for under my eyes (caked up)

After a Few Weeks:

The only time I ever use this one is when I have REALLY bad acne because it gathers in the creases - especially around my nose.
It is really hard to blend
It sticks to dry skin

Product: Milani Color Statement Lipstick (09)
Initial Reaction:

Goes on evenly
Settles into the lines in my lips
Smells amazing!

After a Few Weeks:

I still use this lipstick, but usually on top of another lipstick
I think the trick to this lipstick is that your lipsticks have to be REALLY, REALLY exfoliated, which is weird for a non-matte lipstick
This one doesn't have amazing staying power. You will have to reapply it throughout the day.

Product: Wet N’ Wild Studio Eyeshadow Palette
Initial Reaction:

Highly pigmented darker colors!
Prefer lighter colors over the Milani colors

After a Few Weeks:

I use this one almost every time that I do my make-up!!!
I LOVE this one as much as I did when I first tried it!
I highly recommend this product for someone on a budget.

Product: Maybelline New York Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil
Initial Reaction:

Creamy
Sooooo black!
Doesn’t tug on my eye
Prefer it to the L’oreal Silk Kiss Me

After a Few Weeks:

When I use this on my tight line, it transfers to my water line some of the time.
Unlike L'oreal Silk Kiss Me, this pencil sharpens easily

Product: Wet N’ Wild Photo Focus Lash Primer
Initial Reaction:
-AMAZING, AMAZING results!!!!!!
- The product claims to promote lash health
-Hoping this one won’t flake
After a Few Weeks:
