Benefit Roller Lash Mascara Review and Pictures

Hey guys! Today I am reviewing the new Roller Lash mascara by Benefit. Sephora's website says it will create long lashes while curling them. First of all, the packaging is super adorable. It is a black handle and the top is a pale peach which a wide fishnet design. I love it. It's not too heavy either. The wand has very tiny silicone bristles and is slightly curved. I like how tiny it is because you can get to the very root of your lashes without the mascara smudging everywhere. Even though the bristles are tiny, I feel like they have a good grip on your lashes as you apply the product.

The actual formula performs very well. If you have ever used the more popular mascara 'They're Real' by Benefit, you would know how wet and goopy that formula is. This one is also wet, but is nowhere near as goopy and messy. When you apply this mascara, it will instantly cling to your lashes and stay there. It does not smudge at all, it's great! After all day wear, there was no mascara smudges or flakes under my eyes, which is unusual. I was a bit worried it would be hard to come off, but it wasn't! I used Benefit's 'They're Real' cream makeup remover and it just slid right off. It literally took half the time to take off this mascara than it does with other ones. The color is also a dark inky black that makes your lashes look thick and lush. It really curls by lashes and holds the curl. In the pictures I took, I did not curl my lashes with a lash curler. After two coats, it did make my lashes a bit clumpy, so after I took the pictures, I did have to separate my lashes with a lash comb. It lengthened my top lashes quite a bit. but the real length was in my bottom lashes! They looked amazing. I highly recommend you try this mascara. If you would, you can for $24 here.

Benefit Speed Brow Review and Pictures.

Hey guys! I'm here today to review Benefit Speed Brow in the neutral shade. I think there's one more shade that is a little lighter, but I'm not sure. This a a tinted brow gel, used to keep your brow hairs down and in place. The applicator is a large spoolie that you brush through your brows after you filled them in. I don't think this provides any extra color to my brows, I tried to swatch it when I first got it and it was so thin and almost transparent. When I blended it on my hand the color washed away, so if you want a brow product that provides extra color, I would look into Gimme Brow by Benefit. I do like this product though, for keeping my brow hairs glued down. The don't move all day and the color doesn't fade either. Since it doesn't provide extra color, it keeps the brows looking very natural, depending on how you fill your brows in. I do think this product is said to be used as the only product to use on your brows if your'e on the go, and I do think that it's great to use when you're in a hurry, but your brows do not look filled it. At least my don't, but I have very think dark brows. By the end of the day, I can run my finger across my brow and still feel the product there, even through the humid, hot, Alabama heat. I really like this product, but I'm not head over heels for it. If you would like to try it for yourself, you can for $18 here.

Sultry Valentines Day Eyeshadow Tutorial Using Naked 3 Palette

Hey guys! I'm here with a fun, night out, Valentines Day eyeshadow tutorial using the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. I will list the products I used as I go, so let's get started!

First start with a clean eye and smooth on a dark purple cream eyeshadow. I used Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk and my finger.



Next I added the color Factory all over my lid with a large flat shading brush.


Next, using a small precision brush, I created the shape I wanted for my outer corner/crease with the color Blackheart.


Then added color little by little I blended it in. Kind of like a soft cut crease.


To make my eye pop I picked up the shadow Dust on a small flat shader brush and sprayed it with MAC Fix Plus to make it almost metallic and I applied this to the very center on my eyelid.


I added the color Strange to my brow bone with a fluffy brush and then with an angled brush, I went back to the color Factory and smudged it under my lash line to the middle.


Finally I added Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner in Black to the top lash line and Benefit They're Real mascara and you're done!

Products I've Hit Pan On

Hey guys! I'm here today to show you what products I've hit pan on. Let's jump right in!

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer 
This was in the Boi-ing and Lemonade duo at Ulta, and I immediately fell in love with this concealer. What's left in the pan is dry :(


Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
I loveeee this powder. It cracked and shattered into a million pieces so I pressed it and then hit pan on it again. Which is awesome. I need to buy a new one.


Maybelline Gel Liner
This is an awesome gel liner for the price but I bought a Tarte liner and it is so much better.


NARS Powder Foundation
This foundation has amazing coverage and is worth the price. It came with a sponge to apply it with, which I used into oblivion, so now I use a dense powder brush from Bare Minerals. I like the sponge better.


Neutrogena Natural Radiance Bronzer
I love this bronzer. It has the perfect amount of shimmer to warm up my face. It is a bit too light to contour with though.


C. O. Bigelow Rose Salve
I'm not sure if this really counts but I'm adding it anyway.It's okay. I don't love products that you stick your finger in.


Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette
I freaking love this thing. It matches me perfectly. I need to get another one soon.


Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
This is my second one and I need to purchase a third! It is perfect to contour my pale face and smells like hot chocolate. I can't ask for more.

\\
Too Faced Natural Eye Palette
Ahh, what fond memories. This was my second eyeshadow palette. Ever. It's not old, I promise haha. But seriously, why can't Too Faced sell single eyeshadows??

Everyday Foundation Routine

Hey guys! I'm here with an everyday foundation routine. The products will be listed below as always.

This is the finished product. No makeup face = gross.


Let's get started!
First I spray my face with toner and use a primer in my T - Zone. Then I put a yellow toned concealer under my eyes.



Then foundation! I squirt it on the back of my hand and use a flat foundation brush and  brush it on my face. This part takes the longest of course. It is the base for the rest of your makeup, so I really spend a lot of time with my foundation and make sure it's blended and looks nice.


Then I put concealer on my blemishes and dark spots. And add powder all over my face.


Next I add bronzer to my cheekbones, forehead, and the side of my nose. It's more noticeable in real life.



And then I add blush to my cheeks and highlighter to my cheekbones.


And this is the final look!
