Makeup haul {Part 2}

I finally have lighting good enough for the pictures I need to do a review and pretty pictures always look good on a blog!

{1} CoverGirl Lash Blast Clump Crusher Mascara

20130906-162739.jpg
It’s my first time seeing a mascara that has a green color packaging, green is my favorite color and this is one of the nicest shades of green. Win!
This claims to “deliver 200% more volume with zero clumps for beautifully separated lashes.” I’m not exactly sure whether I agree to that statement because my lashes weren’t separated, however they were looooong. I was so shocked when I applied it because my lashes were 1.5 times the original length. But somehow my lashes felt so stuck together and weird, perhaps I needed an eyelash curler before using it. But then again, I don’t like using eyelash curlers because I feel as though they destroy my lashes. Imagine the constant pressure on them, they’ll become brittle!

The wand has a curved shape, most probably to flare the eyelashes further. I think I might use it once I get an eyelash curler, but not too much. I love my natural lashes!

{2} e.l.f beauty book

20130906-170021.jpg
From the “beauty school” I personally think that it’s a little like a dupe for the naked basics palette. Just that they include instructions on how to use the colors. There’s an eyelid primer and eyeliner as well.

20130906-170258.jpg
This would be really handy if it only came in a smaller packaging. It’s a little too bulky and too much of a trouble to lug it around everywhere. But the shades are good and pigmented, I can see myself using it in the future!

{3} e.l.f clear gloss, brow and lash mascara

20130906-171534.jpg
I just picked this up because I needed to arrange and keep my brows in shape. Oh and I just plucked them too! They were growing near the brow bone and eyelid, how gross.

{4} L’Oreal Color Riche Balm in Heavenly Berry

20130906-171901.jpg
This shade is pretty similar to the Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie, just less glitter. And this has to be my current holy grail lip product. It smells amazing a little like a strawberry cupcake. I can almost eat the whole chunk of balm, almost. When applied, it gives a really sheer pink color and it is absolutely moisturizing to the lips. Unlike the lip butter, this leaves a glossy finish, where’s the lip butter is more towards the glitter gloss finish. I have been using this all the time when I go out, love it and highly recommended!

20130906-172723.jpg
However when I received it, the product seemed to be a little off compared to what it’s supposed to look like.

{5} e.l.f tinted lip balm in pink.

20130906-173149.jpg
A decent product, nothing much to rave about. It leaves a minty feeling just moments after application. The pink can be a little too pigmented though. Plus point? The color on the packaging is really similar to that of the real product.

{6} e.l.f volumizing and lengthening waterproof mascara

20130906-185935.jpg
The amount of product seems really little! Such a small tube… The wand is fairly big

20130906-190357.jpg but somehow doesn’t make my lashes all stick together. However when applied on the lashes on my right eye, it feels so sticky and and it’s annoying when I blink. Other than that, it flares my eyelashes a little and gives a little confidence boost.

That’s all I have for now! Too many would get boring. I can’t actually wait to get more items in October where I can spend my $30+ in drugstore dollars, joy!!

In the mean time, stay cool and wait for my other posts!

with all the lip products I am looking for, I can safely say that I am mad.

20130818-001116.jpg
A set of all tints, how adorable! Benefit Cosmetics has to be one of my favorite “high-end” makeup. Their packaging and the name of their products has already won me over by 80%. Then with the stuff they came out? 100% sold.

20130818-001814.jpg
I’ve never actually heard of this product, but heard of “Buxom” from essiebutton. Seems pretty cool for a lip stain. A little like the Revlon kissable balm stain, I must say.

20130818-002001.jpg
THIS. I have heard it from essiebutton (my favorite-est beauty vlogger ever.) and it looked so good! I will get it one day. It’s so sheer and cute and elegant at the same time.

20130818-002827.jpg
I have never heard of this, but it looks so quirky (in a good way of course) the pink is a really nice opague one and looks so smooth. Looks like liquid cotton candy.

20130818-003135.jpg
Soap and Glory! Their packaging is comparable to Benefit’s, just more provocative. It’s so girly and sexy and cheeky! I wish I had their body product set or something, seen it quite a few times but never actually gotten it.

20130818-003453.jpg
I always thought Stila were mainly eyeshadows, but it’s a pleasant surprise to find this. With tint, and balm, I was really interested.

20130818-003806.jpg
Kat Von D lipstick! I never ever knew she had a makeup line, and I’m absolutely interested in it right now. The colors are really dark / neutral / red, perfect for statement lips or to enhance the eye makeup. Plus the packaging is really sleek and classy, while infusing the rock edge.

20130818-004051.jpg
Yves Saint Laurent again! And I heard it from Estée, again. I love how sheer the swatch I saw on her video was, I’m not a fan of “thick” lipsticks. Plus the packaging is really really classy.

20130818-004441.jpg
I know this isn’t a lip product, but I had to add it in since I saw it in Estée’s get ready with me video and wazowska , the coverage was amazing and gave a really natural finish. It was just so awesome, I can’t even describe it.

So hey, if you ever thought about what to get for me, you have a rough idea. Haha!

Revlon lip butter // eos

GUESS WHAT.
My items from drugstore.com arrived and among those products I’ve bought, 2 of them were lip products. The eos lipbalm (Passion fruit, from the spring pack) and the Revlon lip butter.

20130731-225533.jpg

First up, the eos lip balm.
I’m really fascinated by those little balls, it’s like someone’s taking a huge cherry and putting it all over their lip, just without the color.

20130731-225856.jpg
I started using the passion fruit – flavored one and I have to say that I’m not all impressed by its smell. It smells a little like lipstick, just more pleasant. However, it is amazing as a lip balm. It totally moisturizes and keeps my lips feeling kissable. I might want to try other flavors, just to prep my lips till the day I get to kiss Z. Rating : 7/10!

Next, the Revlon lip butter.
This has to be my favorite lip product, or at least, one of them. It glides onto my lips super smoothly, just like butter. Mine is in the shade berry smoothie and it provides me with a perfect amount of tint I would want on my lips. Including a super moisturizing effect that leaves my lips hydrated and feeling soft.

20130801-155012.jpg
I would definitely buy other shades, it’s worth it! Especially when it’s $6 on drugstore.com and you get 5% cashback in drugstore dollars.

And I bought it because missglamorazzi and Estée raved about it. Rating, 9/10. LOVE.
