So first off it's highly pigmented, super creamy and smooth. The colour is super gorgeous it's a nude pink with purple undertones, If you like rose or mauve than this is the color for you.. I absolutely love the shade and it is cool toned. There was no bleeding of colour. It is a matte finish but it's very velvety and hydrating feeling, not drying at all.
It is suppose to be universally flattering, 'opaque color but boasts an ultra-creamy, non-drying formula that hydrates the lips for ultimate comfort.' There is a slight scent, sort of maybe fruity but it's very very light. It does seem to be long wearing but comfortable.
I really like the pointed applicator, it's great the packaging seems very sturdy and well made, even though it's a mini there is still a good amount of product.

I was so excited that I took it out and swatched it right away, at first it seemed to blend well, it seemed a little waxy but nothing I couldn’t handle.. So I got to work doing a full face to fully test it out, at first it was going great and than I applied it and it felt SO heavy, so waxy, it wouldn’t blend on my face at all. I have tried different foundations, primers etc and this just doesn’t want to work for me and even now swatching it on my hand it feels like a small candle it’s so waxy, and it clung to my pored and really accentuates them.
I quickly realized the ‘Easy 2 in 1’ Isn’t as easy as claimed, I’ve tried blending with brushes, my beauty blender even my fingers and it just seems to sit like mud and move and shift around and cake my foundation, I honestly don’t think I hate a makeup product as much as I hate this. The 2 in 1 seems like a great idea, I originally thought you would do one side than the other, nope.. I tried doing it like a marker and doing highlight and contour at the same time and nope didn’t work either.
It’s way to hard to control, the highlight side doesn’t have light enough shades for lighter skin tones. The two colours mix on the stick if you aren’t careful, It’s not buildable, and the weird thing is it doesn’t blend, but as you blend more it seems to just disappear like there’s no happy medium.
I really loved the 2 in 1 concept but, I just couldn’t get it to work for me, I was so disappointed I can’t see myself ever buying it again.
I definitely do not recommend this product to anyone- save your money.

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. This is my first experience trying a matcha green tea, And at first I really didn't like it, all I could think was wow it really tastes like spinach. But I figured to give an honest review I had to finish the cup, so I kept drinking and as I kept drinking I noticed this after taste and I can't explain it but I liked it and I eventually was making a second cup because it grew on me and now I really do enjoy it, it's silky and earthy and just delicious!. It's super easy to make sense the packets and the price is great, pure leaf did a fantastic job and I'm so thankful I got to try matcha and to fall in love with it. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. This is my first experience trying Ginger & Orange blossom, I really liked the bags themselves they had a nice texture and the pyramid design was quiet cool and they smelled fantastic.
However The taste I really liked, but I found it slightly more like.. Spicy in a way but not really spicy i'm not sure how to explain it really.. Anyways I added half a tea spoon of sugar and I absolutely loved the tea then.
I was so excited when I got the email that I was in because I am an avid tea drinker but had never tried either one of these from pure leaf and I'm so glad I wasn't disappointed!.. I haven't been feeling well for a few days and I drank one the night before and one last night and it really helped me settle before bed (they're caffeine free) and feel much more toasty and relaxed. I'd recommend if you like tea and like ginger or oranges, I don't like ginger but I really did like the tea!.

Comes in three shades – I have the shade Blackest Black.
This formula is very similar to Avon’s ‘Mega Effects Mascara’, It didn’t clump, however there was slight flaking, but I actually really like it, it’s thick but not super thick it’s very easy to coat the lashes from root to tip. Highly pigmented, volumizing and makes my lashes long, lifted & curled. Seems to be long wearing, and didn’t transfer but was super easy to remove afterwards.
The wand is fantastic, it’s huge but curves in the center so it hugs the lashes perfectly. The packaging is super cute, the fonts are cute, I love the little pink/red detail at the top.
I think the price is great, the product is well made the packaging and wand are all sturdy and the formula is great minus the tiny bit of flaking I experienced.
I really love the mega effects mascara and I feel like if you weren’t quiet ready to try that, this would be the one to try since it’s packaging is regular and the formulas are pretty similar.
There is no scent and I didn’t have any issues with sensitivity, It is hypoallergenic and I did notice a big difference with it on compared to my natural lashes.

I think it comes in two shades, black & blackest black.
This Mascara is absolutely fantastic in my opinion, It looks very intimidating and hard to use but it’s honestly the fastest and most easy to use mascara I have ever tried.
First off lets talk packaging, it’s the coolest wand, it’s wide and I can coat all my lashes in one go, which makes it faster but it’s super easy because it’s flexible and you can choose the degree you want. The outside is super cute with the red and the printing is nice. It’s also sturdy and well made.
The formula itself is awesome, it’s highly pigmented and very black, a little goes a long way it separates and coats lashes well and gives great volume. I loved how easy it was to do my bottom lashes and it was easier to control than a regular wand, surprisingly.
I was shocked by the difference of my lashes with this mascara compared to my natural lashes, it was a huge difference.
I’ve found I have been grabbing this more lately than my ride or die mascaras (Benefits roller lash & they’re real!). I honestly like it more than I loved them and I’ve been using them religiously for over a year now.
I really do like the formula, it didn’t clump and it didn’t flake, My eyes can be easily irritated by some mascaras due to the flaking so I was happy over that and I have had zero issues so far.
The wand again is intimidating but easy to use and made it super easy to get in close and go from root to tip, and applies an even coat so no clumping, it really lifted and curled my lashes.
Not everyone is going to like this because it’s a slight learning curve but it’s pretty easy to figure out and once you do it’s faster, easier & the formula is totally worth it.
It’s long lasting and seems water proof but when you’re removing it, it’s a lot easier to take off and there’s no tugging or raccoon eyes!.
The price is great & there is no scent.
I think it’s great and super fun, it’ll be a daily use for me. I’d definitely purchase it again

It's a nice eyeliner pencil, because it's a gel it's super creamy and easy to apply however the tip is pretty big and blunt, it's great for a smokey look but if you like precise small lines than I would suggest using this.
I noticed a slight scent with it that smells a little more on the chemical side, it didn't effect me or irritate my eyes but someone who is more sensitive may find it more irritating.
I liked the satin finish, it was more between a matte and satin though, but it is super pigmented.
I think the price is slightly outrageous because you can get an eyeliner just as good if not better for $5 at the drugstore that would likely have a smaller tip for a more accurate application. I feel like a lot of the price is more so for name rather than quality.
The formula is very creamy, but very thick and I didn't like having it that thick on my water line, and I didn't like it that much on my lid as much as i'd like a liquid or a gel pot, but for a more smokey look I did like it.
It does have good ratings and seems to be a favourite, which I can understand and I definately don't hate it, but it is very similar to a crayon. Peoples biggest concerns from what I've read seems to be of it drying out, I've had mine for a few months now and it hasn't dried out at all it's still just as creamy.
It doesn't seem to fully dry down so there was transfer for me, it moved around a bit which I didn't like.
I feel like it isn't really worth the price or the hype, it does have a few pros but for me the cons just out weigh it, I likely wouldn't repurchase.
I've also seen a lot of reviews mentioning about allergic reactions, so again something to consider before buying if you have sensitivity.

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Push Up Liner

I love gel liners, and I love liquid pen liners and I think it's genius that they created a two in one to make a Gel liner pen. I really liked the formula, but it was super hard to remove unless used with the remover which I'll be reviewing next. It is a Paraben free formula. It easily hugs the lash line, and it's super long lasting and dries down perfectly. It's sort of more on the matte side, not shiny. It lasts up to 24 hours and is water proof but it should be removed before bedtime to prevent the blocking of pores. The packaging is pretty cool, you twist the base to get the product, it's packaging is also pretty cute, again sleek and 'sexy'. It has an ''AccuFlex™'' tip, it was a slight learning curve but it's actually super easy to use, and easily glides compared to pencils, and easier to work with than a liquid liner since it's a gel and the formula is thicker so there isn't any running.
There's a lot of bad reviews since most people find it awkward (Again, learning curve) But I actually really liked it and I want to repurchase again to have on hand sense it was so smooth to apply and I loved the formula. There was also no flaking.
However if you like trying new things and funky products I highly suggest and recommend this!.

It's a creamy gel formula, the 'They're Real!' Mascara & Liner are water proof so they are pretty difficult to remove, it can be done with normal removers however it takes seconds with this. For me I didn't need to use this every time it just depended on my mood, but it was quicker and much easier to get it off with this.
There was more tugging when I didn't use this so if you don't like that I'd suggest using this, I assume it would be usable with most other water proof makeup, but I liked it. There really wasn't a scent but it did smell a bit fresh.

So they are a great price, the product size is 3.25 ml, It's not huge but a good size and decent amount of product. It has a regular doe tip applicator, it's feels a tad softer though.
The packaging is pretty cute, it's sleek and tapers at the end. It feels well made and I haven't had any issues with it and they've been in my makeup bag for around 4 months now.
it's a light weight formula, used to keep shadows from creasing, longer lasting & for a more vibrant and long lasting eye look. It dries fast, so once you apply some to the lid gently pat/dab it into the skin.
Elf is known for great quality at reasonable prices, a lot of their products are high end but priced for the drug store and it is a cult favourite brand.
There is no scent
Sheer is the more peachy packaged one, it's the second one I used and again right off the bat I was shocked by how different the formula was, and I actually LOVE this one. I've been using it religiously since in my everyday prep.
It's a gorgeous colour on, it's pretty translucent when it dries but it gives a good peachy skin look, it seems a tad on the shimmery side but it isn't that noticeable.
This formula is very creamy, lightweight feeling and blends out like a dream. It is quick drying but as long as you pat and dab quickly it's great.
Unlike 'Pearl' it isn't gritty, it isn't dry and doesn't leave my eyelids feeling dry.
It's a lot better formula, and i'm a lot happier with this one!.
I'll definitely be repurchasing
