Wet N Wild Blush Pearlescent Pink: Review

Hello, Everyone!


I wanted to do a quick review on this awesome drugstore blush, Wet N Wild Pearlescent Pink



 I just put it in my favorite drugstore items post and forgot how truly great it was until I pulled it out and used it today! I've always loved it but it sort of got pushed behind until I was looking for my drugstore favorites!

This blush is around 3 bucks at most drugstores and Wal-mart. Uh, pocket change right?



Not only that, but is so pigmented.  So pigmented in fact, that I usually have to buff out my blush with a Kabuki after!



This blush is a neutral pink color with a tad bit of golden shimmer, which adds a great glow to my cheeks!

This blush lasts all day on me and looks great with any eye and lip combination!



The packaging is cheap looking, but I mean the product IS only 3 bucks so I am definitely not complaining because the quality is top-notch!

This is my only Wet N Wild blush and I am not really sure why... I may run to Walgreens after class to pick up a few more!

Have you tried any Wet N Wild blushes?

Revlon Photoready BB Cream: Review

Hi Ya'll!


I wanted to do a review on my current weekly face product I have been using lately.

I say "weekly" because I am a college student with early classes, which means I don't want anywhere near a full-face of make-up daily.  I try and not wear foundation during the week because I believe that it is better for my skin...Whether that is true or not, I'm not sure.

So, I have been testing out a BB cream for about a month or so, and I have to say I have really been enjoying it!

I have been using the Revlon Photoready BB Cream in the shade Light.

The following might scare you... It's me with no makeup.... at all.... 


Also, keep in mind, this was very early this morning so my hair is little to be desired and so on...

So let's get to the review shall we?

I have pretty normal balanced skin but I do have hyper-pigmentation from breakouts on my skin.  I wanted something light, but some coverage at the same time.



Absolutely no Makeup, Only SkinMD moisturizer!!!! AHHHHH!


I needed an easy all-in-one product to just get me out the door to class. I wanted it to last throughout the day so I didn't have to worry about it going class to class!




This is about how much product I use!



 I usually apply this with my fingers.  I put it all over my face and blend it out.  Sometimes, if I'm feeling fancy, I will use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush.
...And this does just that.  My face is more even, the spots on my face are concealed and it lasts all day long for me! I absolutely am loving this product!  See the pictures and decide for yourself!



 This is JUST with the BB cream, No concealer or powder of any kind! Amazing difference, eh?
I have not broken out from this product, which is a huge plus for me!

I got this at Walgreens for around $10 bucks.

I recommend this product if you want a light feel, with some coverage.  


This is another picture to show that all my problem areas are concealed once more! (Note: I don't like to take selfies, so therefore, this kinda thing is what you get.)



Have you tried any BB creams that you're loving?

E.L.F. Studio Blush Candid Coral: Review

Hey Everyone!


I thought I'd do another quick review on a drugstore blush!

This was my first ELF blush purchase.

I got the shade Candid Coral because I LOVE coral blush shades.

This blush was 3 bucks. That's right, 3 dollars. AMAZING!

Now, is it any good?

Yes!


First off the packaging looks very, very similar to Nars.  Which I like.  It has simple black rubber casing that just looks much more expensive than 3 bucks, that's for sure!

The product inside is awesome too! It's a light peachy-coral that adds a nice glow to my cheeks! No glitter, YAY! Nothing gets me madder than a blush of full glitter! Just kidding, but not entirely.....

It blends perfectly and looks so natural!

NOTE: This doesn't have *great* pigmentation, but, that is okay with me because I am pale, and like a slight sheen for daywear!


....and once again THIS WAS 3 DOLLARS!!!!!

Fits my college budget quite nicely!

I totally recommend this if you are looking for an inexpensive blush that gives a nice peach/coral sheen!


  What ELF Studio Blush should I try next?

Milani Luminoso Baked Blush: Review

Hello, Everyone!


I wanted to do a quick review of one of the best drugstore blushes around, in my opinion!

I have seen countless of rave reviews for this particular blush so I KNEW I had to go try it out for myself! Obviously!!

It's the Milani Luminoso Baked Blush, if you couldn't tell from the title!

I found mine at CVS for around 9 bucks, after having no luck finding it at Walgreens.

The packaging looks a bit cheap, but what can you expect from a drugstore product, really?

But, the actual blush inside is absolutely AMAZING!

It's a very luminous peach color that adds the perfect glow to the cheeks!

I HATE glitter, and sometimes I even hate shimmer, depending, but this has neither! It just has a nice sheen that looks gorgeous!

People say that this is a dupe for Nars Orgasm. I disagree because Orgasm is more shimmery and pink while Luminoso is a peach sheen!

I highly recommend this blush, because it's not only cheap, but absolutely gorgeous!



Go try it out for yourself!!

 

 

Hope everyone is doing well!!
