I know it seems like forever since my last post! I've been working on a bunch of different things..I am working on getting some video equipment, so I can start my own channel and make some tutorials for you love bugs! I've also been testing a bunch of new products, mostly drug store, because there are so many new ones that just came out! I am loving most of them! They are definitley a must have in your daily routines. So..let's start by showing you my KEEP it or LEAVE it portion of my blog with drug store products! Enjoy! Xo
*Please comment below with any ?'s or suggestions :)
:: PRIMERS ::
KEEP IT: Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer- I am loving this primer! It is amazing for the price and really mattifies my foundation as soon as it hits the skin. It doesn't mattify it too much to where it looks cakey either which is a good thing! It has a silicone texture that brightens the skin and makes a super blenable canvas for foundation or powder.
LEAVE IT: L'oreal Magic Lumi Primer- This primer is perfect for going out or for Spring & Summer. It has a somewhat of a illuminator in it to leave your skin a little shimmery glow. This can also be used as a highlighter to highlight under eye areas or top of cheekbones for more of a pop. I definitley recommend this if you are going out or maybe after for the beach, but for an everyday primer I would leave it. Didn't really fill in lines or wrinkles as well as other primers :/
:: FOUNDATIONS ::LEAVE IT: Rimmel London STAY MATTE MOUSE Foundation- I really wanted to love this foundation..the packaging is super cute, it is small and thin so it fit really well in my purse & in my bathroom. But boy did this foundation look horrible! It only comes in a few shades..so it's super hard to match colors. You definitely need to mix shades to get a perfect match. It's super thick, so a little goes a long way. Lol of course I didn't figure that out until after..it didn't really blend well at all and once I got it somewhat even it was really cakey. It looked very un natural and didn't have the airbrush finish that I like. Will not re purchase.
KEEP IT: CoverGirl Tru Match Foundation- Great everyday foundation! Blends fantastic and dries quickly. Tons of new shades that match perfectly. Wears for long hours and leaves your face hydrated all day. This is definitley a must-have!
KEEP IT: L'oreal Magic Liquid Powder & L'oreal True Match LUMI Foundation- OMG! I am in love! Both of these foundations by themselves are amaze balls but as a duo are fanominal! They compliment my skintone and make my skin look FLAWLESS. I get so many compliments it's ridiculous. The LUMI foundation line is new but the Magic Liquid is about a year old. They are great I don't think I can live without these two. A fantastic buy!
A few other foundations to buy: Revlon ColorStay a Mouse Foundation, Maybelline FITME, L'oreal True Match, CoverGirl Outlast Foundation.
I am still on the hunt for a good drug store Bronzer..I have tried a bunch, but still cannot find one that will leave a nice and blended natural finish. If you have any suggestions, please list them below!
LEAVE IT: NYX Matte Bronzer- Had such high expectations! This Bronzer comes in gorgeous shades, but just does not blend well :( waah
LEAVE IT/KEEP IT: NYC Sunny Bronzer- I really can't decide weather to leave this or keep it lol. It does blend enough to get the job done, buts it's just okay nothing really special. I use this when I need a change in my bronzing routine, just to switch it up, or if I am just running to the store or something. It's good to have as a back up.
:: HIGHLIGHTERS ::KEEP IT: Revlon Photo Ready Lights- Obsessed with these liquid highlighters! They are to die for! I have them in all three shades. They are great for completing a look. They look precisely polished and blend extremely well. I love love love these and will be repurchasing them. I hope they aren't a limited edition and Revlon will keep the around. I believe they had something similar in the past that they discontinued, but I'm happy they brought these back instead :)
LEAVE IT: Maybeline Highlighter/Bronzer Duo- I believe these are somewhat new. I am not a huge fan of shimmery highlighters/illuminators, so this doesn't really do it for me. Maybe in the Summer, but right now I think it adds too much color and mixes with my contour. And we all know messing with contour=NO BUENOS!
:: BLUSH ::
KEEP IT: Milani Baked Blushes- These blushes are AHMAZINGGG! Just enough pigment that spreads like butter. So happy I came across these! The shades are to die for and are super soft. Perfect perfect!
KEEP IT: Revlon Photo Ready Creams: I'm not a huge fan of drugstore cream blushes, but these are really nice and pure. They look refreshingly natural and leave a nice pretty glow. Definitley a solid purchase.
I haven't used too many drugstore blushes that I've really hated..I tend to use higher end products for blush just because it can really make or break a look.
:: LIP JUNK ::
LEAVE IT: Rimmel London Apocalips Iip gloss- I really loved these glosses when I bought them. The applicator was really soft and flexible so they were super easy to apply. After wearing it for 10 minutes I noticed how sticky and noticeable it was. It really didn't lay nice on my lips..kinda yucky ugh. There's literally nothing more annoying than a shitty lip gloss :/
KEEP IT: Maybelline Buff Nude Lipsticks- I am loving these lipsticks! There super creamy and glide on like butter. They come in tons of nude shades & look super hot with a dark eye! Probably my favorite out right now!
KEEP IT: NYX Mega Gloss- Seriously the perfect lip gloss. Variety of shades, color lasts long, cheap, and slim packaging. Must-have glosses!
KEEP IT: Relvon ColorBurst Balms- Um yes!? Whoever is director of marketing of Revlon should be crowned. These balms are gorgeous!! Not just inside but outside as well. They are so eye catching and I love how it's basically a giant crayon. Genius. They are so pigmented and lasts all night. The matte ones dry out a little but nothing a re apply can't fix. The gloss ones are to die for too. So many shades, loving the dark plum and orange. These colors are really unique and hard to find with drugstore make up. So take advantage now blogettes ;)
:: MASCARA::
KEEP IT: L'oreal Telescopic Extension- Everyone already knows this is my fave mascara :) it's so amazing even if I am using a different mascara I will still prep my lashes with this mascara. The brush individualizes every lash to perfection. Loveeee this forever xo
KEEP IT: Rimmel Scandal Lashes- My second favorite mascara at the moment! Gives great volume lashes! Almost looks like falsies. The brush is huge and doesn't really clump too much thank god! Looks nice all day and really makes eyes pop. Perfect for a 60's Mod look.
For a leave it I don't really have any lol..I really don't experiment with a lot of mascaras..especially because I know the ones that I have work really well for me. Plus if I need to die lashes I'll just use false ones :) (Ardell, Hot Kiss)
Thank you for reading my blog! I hope you enjoyed my drug store keep it or leave it post! Please let me know if you have any product suggestions that I should try or ones that you might dis like!
