So! On Saturday I took my little sister, Kennedy, and we went treasure hunting at our Walgreen's. We found some good stuff, and I'll save the best for last! Let's dive in...
This is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind: dark circle eraser treatment concealer. What a mouth full. So, the top of this thing is a sponge applicator, if you cannot tell. I use a q-tip to apply this stuff because I don't think the sponge going over my skin over and over again is very sanitary. This is supposed to be used for dark circles. As far as concealers go, this one is pretty good. It is really light weight and you cannot really feel it on your face. I would say that this product about medium coverage, so keep that in mind if you need something that is heavier. I really like this because it is so light on your face, but provides a decent amount of coverage. I actually don't use this under my eyes, I just use it on my blemishes. My dark circles and bags are horrible, so I need a heavy duty concealer for those. I either use stage make-up (that people use in theater) or tattoo concealers for my under eye area.
Another Maybelline product, this is a limited edition eyeshadow palette in "autumn dream" I tried to swatch it for you guys, but it wasn't really turning out the right way in the photo. Emily has a great video on her channel using this palette, so y'all should check that out. I bought this because the colors are so rich and can be used separately or all together in one look.
I bought some fake lashes. I haven't tried lashes for about a year now, so I thought it was time to try again. I got a couple different kinds for different looks.
These are for a more intense look. I will probably be using these more for costumes or extremely fancy events. They add CRAZY length, like, almost up to my eyebrows.
These are of medium-intensity. They are also longer on the end, so it creates a kind of cat-eye look without having to bother with mascara. I think these may be my favorite out of the three.
These just add some length and volume. These are the most natural of the three. I will probably be wearing these the most often, since they are not as crazy as the other ones.
I got the lash glue separate because it was cheaper that way. I really wanted the glue that dried clear, but they were out. This glue dries dark, which shouldn't be a huge problem since I wear dark liner almost every day. It's more of just having to be more accurate and not get the glue everywhere, which I struggle wtih sometimes. This is the best eyelash glue I have found because it doesn't come off and the applicator (a brush) is really easy.
Alright... This was the big find that I was so excited about. They were 25% off, which combine my three loves: sales, make-up and... DISNEY!
These kits are by E.L.F, one of my favorite brands. They regularly cost 9.99, but I got them for 7 something. There are four: Ursula, Cruella, Maleficent, and the Evil Queen. I only got the Evil Queen and Maleficent ones because I didn't like everything in the other ones. When you are on a budget like mine, you need to love everything you are getting if you are paying almost ten dollars for one. Each kit includes an eyelid primer, 6 eyeshadows, 1 brightening eyeliner, 1 liquid eyeliner, 1 mascara, 1 lip color, and 1 eyeshadow brush. That is a ton of stuff for so little money! I'm doing an in-depth post on both of these later, but I just wanted you guys to see. Are you as excited as I am? Do you love Disney like I do? I doubt it, but seriously, Disney make-up! Awesome!
Well, that's everything! I'll be posting some reviews later once I get to try these things out for a while!
Courtnie's World...
... Back to school today, ugh.
... It got really chilly overnight! I went from wearing tee-shirts to sweaters overnight! What?
...Tommy has an interview with Panera down here. Wouldn't that be funny if we both worked at different Panera Breads.
Xoxo, Courtnie
