Makeup the Week Round 2
Hello again! Finals were in full swing for me this past week, so I decided to extend my make-up the week deadline. In addition, I added a second lipstick because I had to create a promotion for it.
Shade: Tiger Grass
Review: I will say that I felt that my skin was a little less red on my cheeks, but I wouldn't say this product is a miracle worker. My pimples still have a good bit of red and require a green concealer, but that's an extreme case.
Where I Got This: Birchbox
Will I Repurchase: Probably Not
Am I keeping it? Yes
Primer: Touch in SOL No Poreblem Primer
Shade: N/A
Review: This primer felt like Benefit's Porefessional, but i felt like it was a little more gooey to the touch. It blended in well, and I feel like it did it's job but not exceptionally well.
Where I Got This: Birchbox
Will I Repurchase: Probably not
Am I keeping it? Yes
Shade: Light
Review: I feel like this foundation is a little heavy on my skin and it has a slight smell, but it's got pretty good coverage. I feel like this is a pretty average foundation. The brush on the other end however isn't worth usage unless you've got a few hours to blend.
Where I Got This: Walmart
Will I Repurchase: Probably not, unless I'm desperate
Am I keeping it? yes
Shade: Smoky
Review: The colors look really nice in the mini palette, but they only look decent on the eye. They blend too well and just kind morph into a blob rather than distinct colors. I almost wonder if using a damp brush would help the colors be more vibrant and defined.
Where I Got This: Birchbox
Will I Repurchase: No
Am I keeping it? Yes
Shade: In Navy
Review: Just like the brown liner from the last round-up, it doesn't twist very well. The color is very nice, but I just can't figure out why it's such a large eyeliner and there's no product. Perhaps it's a sample after all.
Where I Got This: Ipsy
Will I Repurchase: No
Am I keeping it? No
Shade: Sienna
Review: This lipstick is kind of dry which makes it really hard to apply. I tried applying it with a lip brush which made it a little bit better, but ultimately, I don't usually use a lip brush sooo...
Where I Got This: Ipsy
Will I Repurchase: No
Am I keeping it? Kind of. I think I might try to mix it with another lipstick or make it into a tinted lip balm... stay tuned.
Lipstick: Buxom Va Va Plump
Shade: Wine Me
Review: As I mentioned earlier, I was making a promotional post for this lipstick which is how it landed in this weeks selection. I will say the color is not as dark as I thought it was going to be, but THE STAYING POWER. Omg, Anna and I were shocked by how long the color lasted. It didn't really feather on the edges, which is a huge plus!
Where I Got This: Her Campus
Will I Repurchase: Maybe
Am I keeping it? Yes
Shade: N/A
Review: I've used this previously and I do really like it. I tend to use the last two shades on the right for blushes and the first three, naturally, for highlight. I personally tend to gravitate towards the second highlighter, which makes it hard for me to sometimes force myself to use to the others... They are a very good quality though.
Where I Got This: Sephora
Will I Repurchase: No
Am I keeping it? Yes
Bronzer: The Balm
Shade: Balm Desert
Review: I really like this shade because it's not as dark as other bronzers I have, which makes it perfect for the winter! It has strong staying power, too!
Where I Got This: Ipsy
Will I Repurchase: Yes, I already have
Am I keeping it? Yes
Shade:
Review: I have a love-hate relationship with this mascara. It almost depended on which eye I put it on, but some times I felt that it look AMAZING, and other days it looked clumpy. Sometimes it was one way on each eye. I don't know, it was just kinda weird.
Where I Got This: Nordstrom Samples
Will I Repurchase: No, I feel like it's too hard to apply without clumps.
Am I keeping it? Yes, for the time beingAnd finally, the looks created with these products:
Much Love,
Jacquelyn
