Covergirl Total Tease Mascara Review


I always love trying out new mascara but have never had any luck with Covergirl mascara so I am hoping I have good luck with this one. 

You can purchase this mascara at Target for $7.99.

This mascara claims to have a lash teasing comb to tease lashes for a full, voluminous look. It also claims to leave your lashes dark and defined all day. 
    This mascara left my lashes long and volumized. It took quiet awhile to get use to the weird brush. I had no clumps, smudging, flaking and it lasted all day.

    Would I purchase? Yes

    Tony Moly Skin Purifying Face Mask Review

    You can purchase this mask for $3 at Macys.

    The green tea extract in this mask claims to help purify and condition your skin.

    This mask has a perfumey scent and was very saturated and unfortunately very drippy. My face felt sticky for quiet awhile but left my face hydrated and glowing.

    Would I purchase? No

    Korres Golden Krocus Review


    You can purchase the full size of this serum for $98 at Sephora so it is very expensive. 

    It is good for all skin types and Sephoras website describes it as: a precious golden elixir infused with the immense antioxidant power of one-day fresh saffron to universally correct all visible signs of aging. 

    This serum also claims to be a good solution for fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, skin discoloration, loss of firmness and elasticity. 

    This is a very pretty gold serum. It has an earthy smell and it was pretty sticky on my face until it completely absorbed. My skin felt firmer and soft and took away all redness. 

    Would I purchase? No but only because of the price.

    Clinique Take The Day Off Review


    You can purchase this cleanser at Sephora for $29.50.

    This cleanser is good for all skin types. This is a lightweight makeup remover that goes from balm to oil to milk to melt away every trace of makeup and sunscreen and is a good solution to dryness. 

    This cleanser did not have a scent and it easily removed all makeup, even waterproof without scrubbing. It is a bit greasy when it is on your face but that goes away when you wash it off. My face was left feeling very soft and clean. 

    Would I purchase? Yes

    Que Bella Face Mask Review


    I got these masks in a target beauty box awhile back and am unable to find them on their website. Most of the Que Bella Masks range from $1-$3 at Target. 

    The first mask to try is a replenishing dead sea mud mask. It claims to deep- cleanse your pores and replenish tired skin. 

    This mask was light blue mud with a fresh scent and slightly tingly. I did not have any redness left on my face and it left my face hydrated and not dried out like most mud masks do to me. 

    The second mask to try is a hydrating pineapple peel off mask. It claims to help tone and refresh tired skin. 

    This mask smells just like a pineapple, however, the smell lasted a long time even after peeling it off. It peeled off super easily without the feeling like it was pulling off my skin which was really nice. My face felt refreshed and hydrated.

    Would I purchase? Yes

    Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towlettes Review


    You can purchase these face wipes at Target for $4.49.

    These wipes are formulated to be gentle and safe for contact lens wearers and to remove makeup in one step. They do not leave any residue and there is no need to rinse after using these. 

    These wipes have a nice fresh scent. They removed all my makeup with just one wipe. It was nice to not have to use multiple wipes to make sure I got all makeup off. 

    Would I purchase? Yes

    EcoTools Mask Remover Sponges Review


    You can purchase these sponges at Walmart for $3.97 for 3 sponges. 

    These sponges are made with natural plant pulp and nature cellulose to remove facial masks. You can also use these with your favorite cleanser. They are also latex-free. 

    These sponges are very soft but I did not like them. I found it took a lot of work to get masks off and more pressure than a washcloth. 

    Would I purchase? No

    TonyMoly Luminating Face Mask Review


    You can purchase this face mask for $3 at Macy's.

    The lotus extract revitalizes the skin for a more luminous and radiant complexion. 

    This mask has a really refreshing fruity scent. It was VERY drippy. My skin was very hydrated and luminous.

    Would I purchase? Maybe

    Burts Bees Gloss Lip Crayon Review


    You can purchase these lip crayons at Ulta for $8.99. There are 5 colors and I have the color Tahitian Sunset. 

    These lip crayons claim to deliver a lush gloss color, provide medium to full coverage and 8 hour moisture. It is made with 100% natural ingredients and the packaging is 100% recyclable. 

    This lip crayon went on very nice and it was very hydrating. It was very sheer and did not last long though. 

    Would I purchase? Yes

    Cailyn Extreme Matte Tint Review


    You can purchase this lip tint for $19 Here there are 24 different shades. The shade I have is 32 Practicable. 

    This lipstick claims to keep lips moist without them drying out with a full coverage velvet color. It claims to be waterproof and kiss proof. It dries instantly without any feathering. 

    This lipstick quickly became my new favorite liquid lipstick. It is a thicker formula but it felt very hydrating and did not dry out my lips. It was a beautiful neutral color that was perfect for everyday wear. It lasted from 10 am to 10 pm without me needed to apply it again. I was very impressed because I ate and drank a lot with it on and it did not smudge at all. 

    Would I purchase? Yes!

    Masque Bar Sheet Mask Review


    You can purchase this mask at Target for $3.49.

    This is a treatment that helps hydrate and soothe your skin. It claims to soften, calm and nourish. 

    This mask was not my favorite. It was very drippy with a floral scent. It had a really weird fit that just didn't work with my face shape. It did feel very hydrating but made me break out like crazy. 

    Would I purchase? No

    Wet n Wild Liquid Catsuit Review

    You can purchase this liquid lipstick at Target for $4.99. There are 9 colors and I have the color "nice to fuchsia".

    This liquid catsuit matte lipstick claims to go on glossy and transform into a high augmented matte finish. It is a lightweight formula that will not dry out your lips while being long lasting.

    This is very pigmented. I found it did everything it claimed. Went on very smoothly and did not dry out my lips. I did find I had to reapply after about 3 hours.

    Would I purchase? Yes
