The two following pictures are to show a few things that I bought, the Milani Gold Eyeliner, the Neutrogena TM, and the E.L.F. Brow Gel.
This is the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer. It is a tinted moisturizer, and I am in the color Neutral to Tan 40. It looks really dark in the bottle, but since it's a tinted moisturizer I find that it compliments my skin really well. I've been using it for the past 3 days (you can see what it looks like on my skin in the picture above), so I don't really want to give a full review on it. However, I have to admit that this is one of the best TM out there. My favorite thing about this TM is that it has SPF 20--which is absolutely fantastic. I got it on sale too! It was 40% off at Rite Aid. I think it only ended up being $7.25... Unfortunately the sale ended today (sorry for not mentioning it sooner! =[) and I'm not sure if any other drug store is having a sale on Neutrogena products.
Another Neutrogena product that I picked up was the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Loose Powder in Medium. Now, the only reason I picked this up was because I needed a good powder to set the tinted moisturizer. And after reading the reviews on Makeup Alley, I just had to get it. There were so many positive reviews (and a sale going on) that it was really hard to resist. I tried it today, and it has helped a lot with making the TM stay put.
Earlier today, I went to Target and picked up E.L.F. Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara on an impulse. I had heard some beauty gurus on YouTube talk about the brand E.L.F. and when I saw it at Target I thought that I'd try a few things out. The weird thing about this product is that it is exactly the same product on both sides (according to the ingredients on the back of the packaging), they just have different brushes for the eyebrow and eyelash side. I used it in the picture taken above
I'm really excited about this brush. It is the Eye Contour Brush from Studio Tools. I got this at Target as well...for ONLY$2. How can you beat that? I tested it out today, and the natural hair bristles are so soft, and the size of the brush is perfect for applying color to your crease. If you don't have a brush like this already, I suggest giving this one a go! You can't go wrong.
I got another brush: the Complexion Brush from E.L.F. at Target. This one was only $3 (How can E.L.F. make their products cost so cheap?! I can't seem to wrap my mind around it, haha). I bought this because I quickly realized that I needed a powder brush for the Neutrogena Loose Powder that I bought. I didn't have time to stop by Sephora for a brush of better quality, so this one will have to do for now. One negative thing I have to say is that when I opened the packaging I was really put off by the smell of the brush. It smelled like it just came out of the factory or something. I can really describe it other than that it was super strong, and I really didn't want it near my face. So I washed it haha... Now I'm just waiting for it to dry before testing it out. Hopefully the smell went away otherwise I have to trash it or give it away =[
This is a side view of the brush... it's somewhat flimsy.
And here's the whole thing from the front. You can tell that it's a pretty good size for a powder brush so I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I really want to like this brush!
Lassttt, but definitely not the least!... is the Milani Liquif-Eye Metallic Eyeliner Pencil. When I saw this at the store, I couldn't resist buying it because the gold color looked so gorgeous. Plus, I don't think it was anything more than $4. I swatched it (as you can see below) and I was pleasantly surprised! This eyeliner is VERY pigmented and glides on like a dream. It applies like a liquid eyeliner from a pencil and then dries in 15 seconds. When it dries, it is completely smudge proof. I tried smudging it around and it was very hard to move. I'm wearing it right now (and in the picture) and I'm very happy with it =]
Well that's all for now. I hope this post has inspired you to go try some of these products!
