I have been wanting to do a beauty empties post for awhile and after a few months I have finally accumulated enough products.
Here are eight makeup products that I have fully used followed by a quick review of each.
1. Maybelline ExpertWear Eyeshadow Single - Champagne Fizz
3. Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal Cream Eyeshadow - Barely Branded
4. e.l.f. Essential Liquid Eyeliner - Black
5. Covergirl Invisible Concealer - Fair
6. Maybelline Volum' Express One-By-One Mascara - Blackest Black
7. Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket Waterproof Mascara - Very Black
8. Covergirl Smoothers BB Cream - Light to Medium
1. I love this eyeshadow single from Maybelline. It suits my skin tone well and I use it everyday. What's great about it is the fact that it coordinates well with so many of my other eyeshadows. Whether I'm doing a smokey eye for a dance or my usual neutral look for school this eyeshadow works perfectly. It has the right amount of shimmer that is good for day or night.
The good - Very versatile, long wearing, perfect amount of shimmer
Overall - I would recommend this product, I would repurchase this product
2. Covergirl makes my favorite face products and this pressed powder is no exception. It leaves my face looking matte, which I love and it provides extra coverage when I need it. This product has never broken me out or aggravated my skin. I have never had a reason to use a different powder.
The good - Leaves matte finish, adds a bit of coverage, does not cause me to breakout
Overall - I would recommend this product, I would repurchase this product
3. I love this cream shadow. I use it mostly when I need my makeup to last a very long time. It's a bit heavier than my other cream shadow but I do like that aspect at times. It's a great long wearing product that I'm glad to have tried.
The good - Long wearing, very pigmented
Overall - I would recommend this product, I would repurchase this product
4. You know I love my cat eyeliner. The liquid eyeliner I always use is this one from e.l.f. It is so affordable at only $1 and works quite well for the price. This liquid eyeliner produces a very dark line and can be blended easily if needed. I wear it nearly everyday. My only complaint would be that it usually fades a tad bit by the end of my day but for $1 I really don't have a huge problem with that.
The good - Inexpensive, very pigmented
The bad - Fades easily
Overall - I would recommend this product, I would repurchase this product
5. Finding a concealer that I really love is something I have been working on for months. I pick one out, use it until it's gone, and then try another one. So far no luck. This concealer by Covergirl was one of my first tries. There are a few things about it that I don't appreciate. I find it to be very heavy on my face and that is just something I do not like. Another issue, which is not the products fault, is the color. I have very fair skin and finding a concealer for under my eyes is a struggle. This one was just too dark on me for that. On the positive side, I have to say this concealer did provide pretty good coverage for blemishes but overall it's not for me.
The good - Pretty good coverage
The bad - Does not work well with my skin tone, heavy
Overall - I probably wouldn't recommend this product, I wouldn't repurchase this product
6. In my opinion Maybelline mascaras are the best around. They're affordable and work awesome. One of my favorites has got to be their One by One mascara. It truly adds volume to your lashes without clumping and lasts a very long time. Love it.
The good - Adds volume, doesn't clump, long wearing
Overall - I would recommend this product, I would repurchase this product
7. This mascara is my all time favorite. I have found that I like waterproof mascara better. For some reason it goes onto my lashes better and personally I think it adds more volume than a regular mascara. The Rocket makes my lashes look much longer and thicker than they are. It lasts all day long and never clumps. The only downfall is that it can be tricky to remove but that comes with any waterproof mascara.
The good - long wearing, lengthening, volumizing, never clumps
The bad - Can be difficult to remove but with makeup remover it's no problem
Overall - I would recommend this product, I would repurchase this product
8. BB cream is a staple for me on lazy days and during the summer. I love this one from Covergirl because it feels great on my skin and it has SPF 15 which is wonderful. I use this all the time during the summer because I spend more time in the sun and feel like I need extra SPF. It's great for all types of weather but especially hot days because it is very light on the skin. Even though it is very light it provides good coverage. The only downfall is not the products fault. When I purchased this product I chose light to medium. It was a bit dark on me but nothing too bad. When I repurchased I found one that was a fair to light version and that was much better for my skin tone.
The good - very light, SPF 15, good coverage
Overall - I would recommend this product, I would repurchase this product
