B E A U T Y // MICA Beauty Cosmetics | Eye Primer Review

This eye primer claims to do the following "MicaBeauty Eye Primer is perfect for everything from sealing in eye shadows and foundation, to enhancing your all-day look. Go from shimmer to matte in just seconds. This waterproof formula provides the perfect foundation for a long-lasting, smudge proof look that is designed for your active lifestyle. This eye primer helps even out skin tone as well as extending and intensifying your mineral eye shadows, without creasing, smearing, or fading." (Source: Ipsy).

I have tried to see if it was me but it seems this doesn't work on my eyes. I've gone 10+ hours with this and it does eventually crease/smear/fade. No I have not applied eyeshadow first then applied the primer (as it says above) but I don't know why you would want to do that. If I had to pick an eye primer, I would pick the Urban Decay Primer Potion every time. That usually lasts me all night and I can sleep on it and my make up will still be in tact. I'm guessing it might because it's summer so it melts faster? We'll see what happens in the winter. Check out the video below to see what I'm talking about.

On a separate occasion, aside from the video above. I put on a minimal amount and it seemed to last. -_-
It's really a finicky product. Then again, I stayed inside all day and had the AC on. But on most occasions, it usually comes off within a few hours. Wouldn't buy it if I had the choice of choosing products, but if you're really interested, here's a link to the product: Micabeauty Eye Primer, 8.3 Gram

B E A U T Y // Urban Decay | 24/7 Glide On Lip Pencil Primer Review

This product claims "Get primed and ready for action. Urban Decay's long-lasting, waterproof liner glides on smoothly to prime AND define—for long-lasting lip color and clean lines. Smooch. Pout. Smack. Nibble. Lick. 24/7 stays put through everything (yes, EVERYTHING) you do. When you use this liner to fill in your lips completely, it primes them for lipstick or gloss, grabbing on to color to help it last. 

Next, finish the bad girl beautiful look with a sample of Urban Decay's brand new Revolution High-Color Lipgloss—insanely intense color with high shine. The high-coverage, ultra-pigmented formula lays down all the color you crave in one coat. 

This lippie is also laced with Hilurlip™, which defines and hydrates lips while making them look plumper and fuller." (Source: Ipsy).

No I did not get what the product claims above. I had worn the primer with a different brand of lipstick, although I don't think that should effect the longevity of the primer. I used Rimmel London after applying the Lip Primer, and yup, it still came off after eating (and it says it'll stay put through everything....). I'll give this product another try but I doubt I would actually go out to buy it because it didn't work for that one instance I try it. Check out the video below where I did an actual test.

Deluxe Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara | Tarte Mascara

I don't know how to feel about this mascara as I'm currently not happy about it. My upper and bottom lashes keep getting stuck to one another and I feel like I have to keep fixing them because it's irritating. I got this in one of my glam bags so it didn't come with the primer, which may be why they're sticking to each other and it doesn't look as full as the picture shows on their website (http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-best-in-faux-lash-extending-fibers).
Even though there's a difference between having it on and not having it on, it doesn't get thicker so my lashes look thin. If you want fuller longer lashes I would not recommend buying this product.

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Review + Demo

August Glam bag highlight for sure. (If you have no idea what a "Glam Bag" is, it's created by Michelle Phan/Youtuber who put together a bag of 5 items every month with some particular theme). I'm usually a fan of Urban Decay products, so I don't think you understand how excited I was when I received this in my bag. I normally like thinner brushes on a mascara but this one was perfectly sized and whatever formula they use for this product is awesome. It works so well and my eyelashes look the best with this product. This mascara makes my eyelashes stand on its own (aka curls fine without an eyelash curler), gives it great length, I don't think it smudges when I rub my eyes, and I don't get that spidery look when it gets clumpy! My eyelashes still feel like lashes after applying it. I would definitely buy the product on it's own because I like it so much. Check of pictures below (your left is eye with mascara).

Elizabeth Mott you're so FINE Eyeliner | November Glam Bag

I've been needing a new eyeliner so this coming in the my bag couldn't have been any better timing. I love how well it stays on and how thick it is. Sometimes liquid eyeliner is too watery and it just looks sloppy, but this one is quite heavy and pigmented. Even though there are glitter flakes in there, it's not overwhelming and it's REALLY black. Good job Elizabeth Mott. I'm a fan.

Pacifica Natural Water-Proof Eye Pencil Review | Fringe

I'm not a huge fan of pencil eyeliners to begin with so I really want to like this product. Unfortunately my eye shape doesn't allow me to wear pencil eyeliner because it gets on my eyelid and my eyeballs sweat so much that it comes right off.

I wouldn't say it's "waterproof" although when I put it on my arm it was more resistant than when I applied it to my eyes. My eyelids sweat it right off even after applying primer potion.

I love the color, but once again I'd love it more if it was liquid. It's like really deep mocha color.

Wouldn't personally buy it but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who does use pencil.

First Impressions | Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!

Let's get something straight here.
How the heck am I supposed to repair my hair with such a tiny container of product?

I literally used the whole thing in one use. So much for repairing my hair. -__-
Although it claims to be a "repairing mask for dry, damaged, or chemically-treated hair", my hair does not feel any better and actually feels worse after using it.
Unless you're telling me my hair is beyond treatment, it didn't work. I ended up using conditioner after leaving this hair mask in and it still doesn't feel any better. It literally feels like the last bit of life was sucked out of my hair.

WOULD NOT BUY.

Lash out by Be a Bombshell Review

I want to like this product but I have mixed reviews on this product as there are many things I like and dislike.

Likes

• Elongates eyelashes (the mascara literally builds upon each other to make your lashes longer)
• No spidery lashes (aka no clumps)

Dislikes

• Bottle smells funny, like the packaging on it smells peculiar and almost prevents me from using it
• Large brush. I'm just a fan of the telescopic one of l'oreal so other brands just don't cut it for me in terms of brush size. Thicker brushes are harder to handle
• I'm not sure if it's just me but I feel like my eyelashes are falling out, but then again I left my make up overnight so that could have caused it. I haven't had consistent instances with it but definitely see my eyelashes falling out more than normal.

Let me know your thoughts on this mascara if you've used it.

Hope you're well.

UPDATE: I think this mascara is awful. I barely opened it/used it and it feels all dried up. I would not recommend buying this.
