Hey Everyone!

As you all might know, my viewers in particular that I love trying out EyeLipsFace products. Most of what I have purchased I have been fairly satisfied with the product. As for this one, I was not too impressed but not surprised. My exact thoughts when purchasing this product was, "This is too good to be true, for this price? No way!" 

Sad to say, my thoughts were right, this product did not work for me. Other than it reducing redness and swelling; my pimple was still there and did not leave any sooner than it would have without me applying any type of product.But for the price you can't really complain.

The product is clear and the texture is like that of water or rubbing alcohol. This will not be a repurchase for me. If any one of you guys have this product please comment below and tell me how it worked for you.

Thank you for reading! Have an awesome day!

Hey Dolls!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic day (or night), whichever. I was roaming around my local drugstore last week in search of a Venus razor, instead of finding what I came for I stumbled upon the Veet In-Shower Hair Removal Cream. I read the labels and I thought that I would give it a try, and I was not disappointed. 


Cleverly packaged (exfoliating sponge is located in the cap). Application was easy, but you have to be careful not to make a mess because cream can fall everywhere. Removing the hair was also easy with the exfoliating sponge and like the claim says it leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. Very soft.

The product has a pleasant scent and not overly chemical like some other hair removal products. Here is a picture below of what the cream looks like:




In the future I will be repurchasing this product, I LOVE IT! It is as easy as 1,2,3. I hope everyone enjoyed this review and happy hair removal everyone!!

Revlon's Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara (Waterproof)

Overall rating: 2 out of 5
Packaging: 3 out of 5
Price: $7.99USD
Weight: .38 fl oz
Would I recommend this product? No


Pro's: 

  • Does make your lashes somewhat stronger
  • Does give significant volume
  • Nice Packaging
Con's:
  • Flakes
  • Smudges
  • Not waterproof
  • Brush is too big

Hello Darlings!

I purchased this mascara (in blackest black) purely from the hype it was receiving and I have to say I am NOT impressed. Within 1 hour this mascara flakes, too much product comes out on to the brush, and it smudges. What I disliked most about it was the fact that the brush was too BIG, it was bigger than my eye itself. I could not get into any of my corner lashes let alone my bottom lashes without making a mess.



The only good thing about this product is that it does strengthen your lashes and I saw a significant difference. I would not be repurchasing this mascara and I regret ever buying it.

 If you have this mascara please comment below and let me know what are your thoughts on this mascara.

Hi Everyone!

My mom bought me this eye shadow palette from Target and was so excited to see what it had to offer. Like most of the eyeslipsface products they are very low in price and has decent quality. I must say I was a bit disappointed with some of the colors in this palette, even with eye shadow primer below it still is not very long wearing. This is not the case for all the colors in the palette, I was most impressed with the teal color (first row; 3rd) it had the longest staying power with a primer. My least favorite was the very first color in the palette, it was unbelievably chalky! It  fades in no time. All eye shadows are shimmer. 


On to the creamy eye shadows (4th row to the right), they are not as creamy as I would like, they have little silver shimmer in them. What I like about this is the long wear it provides, colors are not as vibrant but they do the job and for the price you can't expect more than what you paid for. 


The pencil liner is GREAT, very black, very soft, easy to apply. It also comes with a sponge applicator, that I did not use to apply the makeup. Below are swatches of the eye shadows, both pressed and creamy.They do not have individual names.


Pressed:

Creamy:


If you are looking for something affordable, or your experimenting with makeup this is a cheap and great way to start off.It also makes a great gift!You can achieve many different smokey eye looks with this one palette.

Olay Complete Moisturizer

Claim: Treat your skin to UV protection, all-day hydration and enriching vitamins with a 100% oil and PABA-free formula. 


• Hydrates all day


• Helps protect against sun damage with broad spectrum SPF 15 UVA/UVB sunscreen


• Promotes beautiful, healthy-looking skin






Overall: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Price: $8.99USD/4.0oz or $12.99USD/6.0oz
Size/Weight: 4.0oz or 6.0oz
Would I recommend this product? Yes

Pro's:
  • Provides all day moisture
  • Does not leave a greasy feel but a nice glow
  • Sun protection from UVA/UVB rays
  • Lasts a long time
Con's:
  • A bit on the pricey side for some
  •  Can sometimes leave a white vale over skin if perspiration occurs
Olay Complete, formerly known as Oil of Olay has been around for many years. I began using this product about 10 years ago (thanks to my lovely mom) and loved it ever since! This product is non-greasy, leaves your skin with a nice dewy glow, it is also great to use before applying your makeup! When applied once, it last the entire day and best of all it has a sun protection of SPF 15 to protect any further sun damage to your skin. 

The only thing I really don't like but very minor is the white vale it leaves behind when you perspire, this occurs for me even after i have blended it well but like with all moisturizers that contain SPF you can expect that. The new packaging is great, you have to squeeze the bottle for product to come out, I know a lot of people are prefer having a pump for hygiene reasons but once used when hands are clean you are fine.

In conclusion, as long as this product is manufactured I will be purchasing it, it is of great quality. You can purchase it at any drugstore nationwide.

Cheers to great skin :D !

Thank you for watching and as always if you have used this product I would love to know your experience.

M.A.C's Kohl Eye Pencil - Smolder

Claim: A soft-on pencil liner, defines and shades the eyes with rich color and a silky smooth matte/pearl. Ophthalmologist tested.



Overall: 4 our of 5
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Price: $15.00
Size/Weight: 1.45g/ 0.05oz
Would I recommend this product? Yes


Pro's:


  • Easy to apply
  • Creamy consistency
  • True to color (very intense)
Con's:
  • Runs easily
  • Does not stay on the water line for very long


Hi Everyone! After hearing rave reviews about this pencil liner I decided to give it a try and I must say I was very impressed, it is the best pencil liner I've ever used. Other than the smudging or running (that can be easily fixed by applying back eye shadow to lock in the color and get more staying power) it works well for smokey eyes or regular everyday wear.


It is a bit on the pricey side and I am sure there is a less expensive alternative from a drugstore makeup line. I purchase the pencil liner in black but it also comes in 10 different shades. Here there are below:


Fascinating- a Matte White
Minted- a Mint Green with Pearl
Rosemary and Thyme- Mid-tone Olive Gold with shimmer
Power Surge- Bronzed Brown with shimmer
Costa Riche- Rick Coffee Bean Brown
Teddy- Intense Bronze
Phone Number- Smudgy Charcoal
Tarnish- Blackened Forest Green
Blooz- Intense Blue with blue shimmer
Prunella- Shimmering Black-Eyed Plum

I then purchased the Voluminous Million Lashes waterproof and I must say I absolutely love this product!It comes in two shades; Black and Blackest Black.

 It gives you everything, from volume to separation of each individual lash and NO smudging which I think everyone would love not having to worry about having raccoon eyes... ha ha. This is by far the best mascara I have ever used.

Would I recommend this? Yes

This product is definitely bang for your buck! The Pearl and Champagne colors are shimmery and Sheer is less shimmery almost matte, you really have to look closely to see the shimmer.These are very long lasting, makeup remover is required to remove it, if not you would have to really wash it off for it to be completely removed. All over smooth application and your eye shadow's POP with true color!

Swatches: E.l.f Essential Lipsticks

Claim : Indulge your lips with long lasting color and shine. The moisture rich formula hydrates, conditions and softens on contact for silky smooth lips. 


Overall: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 3 out of 5
Price: $1.00
Size/ Weight: 0.012oz
Would I recommend this? Yes


Pro's

  • It is moisturizing
  • It is somewhat hydrating
  • Long lasting
  • Great quality for a great price!
Con's
  • It is not a glossy finish but matte
  • The staying power is not that great. 
  • Does not glide on the lips very well
  • It does not condition
I purchased four of these e.l.f Essential Lipsticks just to try them out to see the quality, I got them in the colors : Classy, Sociable, Flirtatious and Posh and these are the swatches below :


From left to right : Classy (a very sheer light pink), Sociable (a bright red tone), Posh (a darker red compared to Sociable) and Flirtatious ( bright baby pink tone)

In conclusion, I find these to be great quality and the price is right! The only thing I really did not like about them is that you have to make sure and condition your lips thoroughly before application because all the dead skin on your lips would show up quite a bit. 

If you have these lipsticks please comment and let me know your experience with them!
