 NYX Mosaic Blush in Rosey

Ingredients~

This blush is really shimmery~

- - - Conclusion - - - 

Pros:

The packaging for this blush is what caught my eye at first~ The packaging is simple yet pretty and really study~ The color of the blush is good for almost everyone and depending on how dark/light you want the blush. you can concentrate on that section of the blush. 

Cons:

I kind of don't like how this blush is really soft, so I have to use a light hand when using this blush or else I will look like a clown, or look like I have a fever and my face is all flushed. And this blush is really shimmery so it makes my cheeks look oily.. and my face is already really oily so my face would look really shiny!! ><

Overall: I like this blush but I don't LOVE it~ Just another addition to my makeup bag (: I decided to get a stippling brush for this blush though, because this blush is so soft and powdery~

Price: I purchased this blush for $4.49 on sale, but it is normally around $7.99 at Ulta, CherryCulture or NYXCosmetics.com. If it was $7.99, I probably would not purchase this blush.

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Salsa

This bow on top is really cute!!

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Sponge Cake

(Salsa) The lip glosses have a doe-foot applicator~

Salsa

Sponge Cake

- - - Conclusion - - -

Pros: I really like Sponge Cake because it looks like MLBB (My Lips But Better)~ The color payoff is really good and it is really glossy in the sunlight! Salsa is a bit lighter than my lips but I still like it too! ^^ & the packaging is super adorable with the random bow on top so I like to carry it around in my purse~ (: & There are like 64 shades of colors to choose from on NYXCosmetics.com so there is bound to be a color that suits everyone~

Cons: The smell is somewhat of a cherry smell D: If any of you have the Rimmel round lipsticks, it smells like that. Or like a cherry Chapstick (haha Katy Perry). The smell kind of deters me because I am really sensitive to smells and I get a headache if it's too strong~ x-x" The lip gloss also tends to stick to my straws when I drink something haha~ but that happens to almost all lip glosses...

Overall: I want to collect alot of these lip glosses! haha~ I would definitely repurchase if I run out because these are really cheap! & cute too~ ^^ You can also layer these on top of lip sticks~

Price: I purchased these on sale for about $3.29, but they are normally $5.49. If they weren't on sale, I would probably purchase these too!

Maybelline Define-A-Lash Waterproof Volumizing Mascara

From the package:

Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara offers a waterproof, zero-clumping formula for big, defined, stand-out lashes. Revolutionary, patented shaped-to-the-lash applicator delivers the perfect amount of mascara to each lash while promoting clear lash definition.

 

The brush is plastic/rubber and the brush is curved to fit your lashes

This mascara is really volumizing!

- - - Conclusion - - -

Pros: This mascara is SUPER waterproof (although it is a con too). The packaging is also pretty & pink~ Why am I such a packaging freak T___T The mascara is also more volumizing than my Rimmel Glam Eyes mascara~ I rubbed my eye today because I had an eyelash in it but the mascara barely budged. Only like 1 flake on the bottom of my eye~

Cons: Because this mascara is waterproof, this mascara is SUPER hard to wash off!! I have to scrub my eyeballs in order to get this off. I use the Rimmel Makeup remover that says it can remove waterproof mascara, but... it still has a hard time doing it (maybe my makeup remover isn't strong enough?) 

Overall: I would probably only use this mascara if I am going to the beach, if I knew I was going to cry that day, or if outside is really hot and I'm scared that my mascara will run~ Washing this mascara off takes off too many eyelashes and I can't sacrifice them~ >< I would probably not repurchase.

Price: I purchased this mascara for $4.79 on sale, but it is normally $7.79 at Ulta. I would probably not purchase this at full price.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Overall, I only paid $11.54 for all 4 of these makeup so I was pretty satisfied~ ^^ Plus I had a $3.50 off $10 coupon for Ulta~ (:

My friend Arianna who's like a big sis to me gave me this Hello Kitty car air freshener because I recently got a car~ ^^ Thank you Arianna! ❤

I hope everyone has a great week~ It's Monday tomorrow... which means school.. x_x"
