betta late than neva...isn't that what we say when we know we're wrong for being late! i'll try to get more like drake...neva late is betta...i'm trying people i promise i'm trying. this is my installment for my September favorite items. my favorites are never really involved because i don't wear makeup as often as i should based on my collection. i'm getting better and have definitely noticed i'm making more time since i don't seem to be cutting my spending. here goes...
loves...
scanda-lash mascara by mark
wow...i absolutely love his stuff. my mother is a avon sales rep (check her out!) and i think i'm her biggest spender. i've totally been on a mascara kick lately and i'm happy i bought the scanda-lash my only mistake was not buying it in black. i decided to go with colored mascara since i thought i had enough black and boy was i wrong. the formula is great, its nice and thick not runny at all, the brush is nice and small and separates like no other. i have short stubborn lashes and this definitely tames them for me. i plan to order 2 of the them (black of course) in my next order and i suggest you do as well!
get in line eyeliner by mark
when i first bought this liquid liner i hated it and never used it. of course that was before i became comfortable with makeup and my face. the brush is super thin and flexible which i took for granted when i first tried to use it. its super black and waterproof and gets so close to my lash line. the only thing i would change (if i could) would be the finish. its shiny and i prefer a matte liner. overall, this is another great product from Avon!
carmex moisture plus
this stuff is the BIZNESS...i'm obsessed and i'm not lying...AT ALL. i saw this in walgreens and thought it was cute and had to pick it up and haven't been able to put it down. i can get a little obsessive and have since bought 3 more of these little babies...you never know when items are discontinued so you have to stock up *haha*.
not so much...
loreal lineur carbon eyeliner
i've decided to start putting the bad and ugly discovered during a given month in this post as well and this is my first one. i bought this eyeliner (i mean searched and searched until i found it) because of reviews from youtubers and i knew this would work for me...NOT. i've tried to make this work and i've actually been in denial for quite so time. this product does not stay on me no matter how much i apply. i always have to set it with a powder and that doesn't always work. i even skipped out and bought the brown because i believed the hype before trying it for myself. i love the felt brush though and would suggest this for beginners but make sure you get this on sale.
questionable...
the jury is still out on the next two items but i'll have a definitive answer soon.
iman foundation stick
another item i bought some time ago but haven't had the time to really use it because i rarely wear foundation. i've seen reviews and application tutorials on this product and i can't seem to make it work as easy for me. i have a hard time blending this out and i've tried several different application methods (wedge sponge, damp sponge, fingers, brush, etc...) and it's always streaky and takes forever to get it blended. i'm torn because once its blended and settled in with my natural oils it gives a great look coverage. oh well...i'll try it a few more times before deciding.
mac minerialized foundation
my little sister was nice enough to give me this foundation because it was too light for her...damn mac girls matching people up wrong again...and it seemed like a great product at first. i needed to beat my face because i had a job doing a brides makeup and decided i should look like something myself...OK! this stuff is really sheer which isn't horrible because i don't need a lot of coverage but i find myself reaching for concealer when i wear this foundation and its oxidizes throughout the day. i've also noticed that i get extremely oily and must carry a setting powder around with me...which i don't normally do. i'll continue working with this one to see what i can make of it.
whelp...that's it for this installment i hope this helps.
love and hugs,
