Repurchase or Release: MASCARA

Hey

and welcome back to another Repurchase or Release post, this one is going to be on Mascaras. I have a big thing with mascara's I love them. I have tried countless and loved and hated so many. 

Repurchase

Loreal Butterfly, is an amazing mascara. L'Oreal is on the higher end scale of drug store, so I will only get the mascara is it is on sale, but I really do like the effects that it has on my lashes. I havent gotten one in a while and I want to get another one soon.

Loreal Mis-Manga, is a masscara that everyone was raving about and it is 100% worth all the possitive reviews that people say about it.

The Rocket by Maybelline, again is one that everyone raved about that is worth the money, its not one of my favorites but I would repurchase it in a heart beat and have done countless of times

The next four are all by Rimmel London, and if you have read any of my previous makeup posts Rimmel is my favorite makeup brand, I love these four mascara's. They are all completly different yet work so well.

The Kate mascara is just as amazing as the lipsticks. The brush is beautiful, I love the packaging. I think I am on my second or third one and would buy it again. My lashes look really full and long. Its everything that I look in a mascara

The Lift Me Up is amazing just like the Kate mascara yet it is completely different, again the brush is amazing, and it smells lovely.  My lashes feel great when I use it and am on my second one, and would buy it again

The Volume Accelerator dose exactly what it says, my lashes look amazing, feel great and when I am having a 'bad' lash day, this is one product that makes my lashes look and feel great, my lashes look massive, I have and will continue to buy









The Wonderlash by Rimmel and I love it, I have brought multipule, I have found that it is good and I really like it, but I have found that it works best for me when I have already applied mascara and it looks clumpy I have found that this one unclumps them really well. When I have used this one on its own it works just as great.








Release

Wet and Wild Mega Volume, I was so disappointed with this mascara, I thought it would be a good prodct but I was really scared of using it, I felt that I was going to poke my eye out with it, I would forget that I had it and when I did use it again it was dried up. 

I did like the NYC Big Bold Curl it was a really good product but I have found mascara that I prefer a lot more that at the moment I dont think I would buy it again at the moment






Rimmel London Accelerator Endless is another product that scared the hell out of me.  The applicator is really creepy, and I thought it was going to poke my eye out. I didn't like the finish either. I like my lashes to look longer and bigger and this did neither










Rimmel London Scanaleyes Rockin Curves, I liked this mascara but found that I preferred another mascara, and again when I did go to use it again, it had dried out and was unusable. I liked the feel of it and how 'chunky/big' it felt in my hands, and when I applied it, it was an amazing mascara, but at the moment, I wouldn't buy it again

My Favorite Beauty Products of 2015

Hey

and welcome back to my blog. I hope you all had an amazing Christmas, and have  a happy new year, how is it even New Years Eve already this is beyond crazy

So this Post will be on my favorite beauty products throughout 2015, so lets get started

Skin Care

My skin care routine had always been the same, but this year I had a few really bad breakouts, and I changed up my skin care routine.

I would take my makeup off with the Clean and Clear Facial Cleansing wipes, which took pretty much 99% of my makeup off. Even waterproof mascara. 

I then use the Clean and Clear makeup dissolving foaming cleanser. Its oil free and when I wash my face using this it pretty much makes my face feel AMAZING. It gets right in to the pores, gets rid of any makeup that may have been left behind, and it is also a good product for cleaning my makeup brushes 

To finish off my skin routine I use the Neutogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator. It works the best product like this I have used and I have used two or three others. What I like about this product is that every time you buy the pad things you get a new head that it sticks to. On the box it says softer more luminous skin in just one use and it really dose work. I cant rave about this so much. My skin feels so healthy after using it

Foundations

For me this year I wanted to try new foundations, and I tried a lot of them, some were good, some were not so good. But the Maybeline Super stay Better Skin is really good. It goes on so smoothly. I am a big fan of foundations that have a pump, I find for me that I regulate how much I use. This foundation made my skin glow.

My all time favorite foundation for the last three years has been the Wake me Up Foundation, people everywhere were raving about this at the time, and it has since died down, but it is a firm favorite through out the year. The smell was the first thing that I noticed when I first picked it up, and they recently changed the formula and it doesn't have the same smell, but works just as well. Its the first one that I recommend to people.

Eye Products

The next 4 products are all Rimmel London products and a big staple in my everyday make up routine. The Mascara's are the best I have found in the last few years, they work amazingly well for me and I love how versatile they all are yet work wonders for my lashes. The Liquid liner looks nothing special but is the only one that I have found from any make up line, including other Rimmel liquid liner that works

Lips

I was never really a big fan of lipstick, and if I am honest would always be the one product that I would never put on to my face until the Kate Moss range from Rimmel, I prefer the Red packaging of the lipsticks especially shades 101-104, they have a beautiful finsih to them that complete any look.

Concealer

Cover Girls Ready Set Gorgeous is one of those products that I have a love hate relationship with but for the most part this year I have been loving it. I didn't like the foundation but found the concealer works better with other foundations

Setting Powder and Primer

The Stay Matte Setting Powder, and the Stay Matte Primer are the ones that I have been reaching for  a lot this year, I have gone through what seems like millions of them. I still have quite a few left of them as there was a sale on them, I have found they were the ones that suited my skin tone, made my make up stay on longer, and just over all look nicer

 

Brushes

This year I have used 3 brushes and a sponge religoulsy to apply my makeup and I couldnt be happier with the results. I always throught that brushed were a waste of time and money, until I used the Real Techniques. I would be lost without any of my Real Techniques brushes but these three were a god send to me this year.

The Multi Purpose one I use for my setting powder, and its brilliant for it. I love how big it is

The buffing brush is a god sent for me, I am not the best at applying my foundation - even though I have been wearing make up for over half my life - but the brush is great at just buffing out the imperfections.

I will start my whole foundation routine with the stippling brush or the sponge and I have had bad experiences with other brands of stippling brushes but I love Real Techniques stippling brush

If you could see my sponge right now its absolutely filthy because I use it so much, but I love it. I suggest it for anyone, and what is so good about this one is that you can use it dry or wet

Hair

My hair is the bane of my life, its fried from all the hair dying that I have done, and all the times I straighten it. These products have really made the whole difference in my routine

The heat protector is one of the best that I have found, most make my hair look really greasy even though I have just washed it and this the bom, and it smells Amazing Schwarzkopf Got2B Guardian Angel is the best

Marc Anthony Deep Conditioner has saved my hair this year and is really recomended, There are three of them. I use one once  a week and I always change it up, and my hair feels so nice, and it last longer then I ever thought they would, and longer then when I use regular conditioner

Well that's it for my favorites of 2015, I hope you all had an amazing New Years Eve, what ever you did, and that 2016 brings you all the joy and happiness that you all deserve

Lauren
