Beauty Review

Makeup Review The Balm

Well, the new year is here and what better way than to start with some new products?!

I’ve always been a fan of trying new products out, but ever since I tried doing it every week (see here)-well let’s just say my face wasn’t too happy about it. I still haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause, but I had a pretty bad reaction. Whatever it was, it caused my skin to start flaking (gross, I know) and leave tiny bumps and rough patches along my face. Oh, and my eyelids got very dry and itchy. It was a hot mess to say the least-ahh the realities of being a beauty blogger.  Now that I grossed you out let’s move on to the fun stuff!

Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation

How adorable is this bottle? It’s definitely what caught my eye when I was in Target. It’s so sleek and I’m always a sucker for packaging.

This foundation would be great for combination and oily skin (possibly normal as well). At the time that I tried it out my skin was way too dry so it didn’t do me any good. It clung to my dry spots (even with a primer) so it’s not suitable for my winter needs. It’s a light to (build-able) medium coverage, which is great for people who are just looking for a even complexion without taking away from their natural one. The plus side? It has SPF 20 built in which cancels out that extra step in your routine. That’s always a plus especially when you’re on the go. Too Faced Better Than False Lashes

Looking for some extra length and dimension to your lashes, but don’t want to hassle with falsies? Then this product is for you! I was a little weirded out at first because I didn’t know what the nylon fibers were suppose to look like (I may or may not have thought that my package was expired *sshh*), but it actually turned out to be pretty cool. It’s a lash system that allows you to make your natural lashes look like falsies!

I received so many compliments when I wore this and I must say that I fell in love. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for everyday wear because it’s a bit of a pain to take completely off, but it’s great for those special nights out. I’ve never been disappointed by Too Faced! Maybelline Berry Bliss Lipstick

If it’s one thing that I love it’s lipsticks! And this color is b e a u t i f u l!!!

I absolutely love Maybelline lippies! They always do such a great job with their range of shades and pigmentation. And this was no exception! It’s a gorgeous berry shade (hence the blissful berry name) which is perfect for winter or even when you just want a bold lip. And for $7 you can’t beat it!! Need I say more?The Balm Nude Palette

This is a great palette for beginners! It has a great range of matte and shimmer shades all within the neutral spectrum. My favorite shade is Sassy (the white one) because it’s so pigmented. It does have a bit of fall out, but I love how it looks packed on!

I hope you’re enjoying the start to this great new year!
