Eyeliner -Physicians Formula - Eye booster eyeliner + serum
MakeupMonsterxoxo 11/15/2012 2:42:00 AM
Packaging: A slim, lightweight, metal tube with a brush tip. I love how secure the cap is. I hate nothing more than a product opening up in my bag and making a mess everywhere. Lol. Consistency: It leans towards the runnier side, but it's not runny enough to make a difference in the ease of application (which is pretty darn easy btw). Color: I got mine in black and it's not as opaque as i'd like it to be. I have to go over it around 2-3 times to get a nice, solid black color. Lasting power: Lasts all day on me. If you touch it a lot though, it will rub off. Also, it washes off easily with warm water and soap. Finish: Matte finish. No shininess. Price: Around $11. Not bad for a two-in-one product. Final thoughts: This product is extremely easy to use and the brush tip isn't flimsy at all. My only gripe would be the opacity of the product. I hate having to go over it to darken the color, because I think it's a waste of product and time. Now for the lash boosting serum... I didn't really pay attention to the before and after, because that's not why I bought the product, however I did notice that my lashes looked thicker and slightly longer. But it's not an outstanding or extremely noticeable difference. Yay/nay?: Yay! :)

Primer/ Corrector -L'Oreal - Studio Secrets Anti-Redness Primer
MakeupMonsterxoxo 11/15/2012 2:25:00 AM
Packaging: A tiny tube with a pump. I find it easy to use and the pump allows you to control the amount of product that it dispenses with ease. Smell: No smell from what I can tell. Consistency: Very runny. Coverage: Provides little coverage. You have to layer this product to notice a change in redness. Color: It's obviously green. Haha. Which is used to cancel out any redness in your skin. I didn't notice any green on my skin when I applied this product, so I didn't have to use concealer to cover up the product's color. Finish: Matte, however it contains shimmers which I can notice on my face. Price: $12.49 at Walgreens so it's not the cheapest drugstore product out there. Final thoughts: I don't think it's worth the money. I have redness around my nose and for some odd reason, my cheeks are always flushed so I thought, "Aha! This would be a perfect product to cancel out that redness," however it doesn't conceal much and you need to layer it on to notice any changes in your skin tone. It's also quite pricey for such a tiny amount of product. I'd rather just use normal concealer to cover up any redness. Also, it contains noticeable sparkles. I want my skin to look flawless, not like Edward Cullen. Lol. Yay/nay?: Nay :(

BB Cream -L'Oreal - Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator
MakeupMonsterxoxo 11/15/2012 2:11:00 AM
Packaging: Shiny, silver squeeze tube. I actually like the squeeze tube, because it's easy to control how much product comes out and it's a lot more sanitary than jars. However the area around the hole that dispenses the product is raised, making it messy because product gets trapped in that area every time you use it. Smell: Somewhat strong floral scent. It doesn't bug me, but those with sensitive skin might. Consistency: Extremely lightweight. Feels just like a light lotion, but somewhat greasy. Coverage: Very very light. Provides extremely little coverage. Perfect for those that have close to perfect skin. Color: I am around a NC 25 and I got this in light. It's a pretty good match and I didn't notice it oxidizing or turning orange on me. Finish: Dewy finish. Definitely not matte. Price: I got mine for around $15, so it's not exactly the cheapest drugstore BB cream around. Final thoughts: I really enjoyed this product at first, because it was lightweight and didn't feel heavy on my skin. It does make my entire face look oily after a few hours, which is odd, because the only area that has any oil on my face is my nose and the rest is normal/dry. After a week of using this product, my nose started getting red bumps and my cheeks got pimples due to clogged pores. I quit using this product and my skin cleared up and is perfectly fine now so I believe that it was this product that was breaking me out. Keep in mind that not many products break me out, because my skin isn't sensitive. **American BB creams are not real BB creams and more like tinted moisturizers. This is definitely an extremely lightweight, tinted moisturizer.** Ideal for: Those with extremely dry, non-sensitive and near perfect skin that don't mind fragrances.
