Beauty Tutorial & Review on L'oreal VS Too Faced Mascara

I prepped my face with Mac Fix+

For primer, I used this Gimme Good Face
by Trust Fund Beauty.

Today's foundation was this L'oreal Infalliable Pro-Glow
in the shade 201 classic ivory.

I used Tarte Shape Tape in the shade fair for concealer.



Which goes from this, to that. I love the coverage and color of this concealer so much!

I used Laura Mercier translucent powder to
set my face and "bake" my under eye area.

Brows have been the same for awhile. I'm
still loving the Brow Definer by ABH in the shade taupe.

My lips have been so dry, so I moisturized them
with some Burt's Bee Vanilla Bean.

For eyes today, I went in with my Naked 3 Palette by
Urban Decay. These are really known palettes and very loved
(as you can see mine is very loved!) by so many. I wanted a more neutral
eye look to focus more on the mascara review. 




 
 Shades I used:
Limit
Nooner
Liar
Mugshot
Strange 


Eye Brushes I used:
XO Beauty Vegan Crease Blender
Elizabeth Mott Blending Brush
XO Beauty Vegan Eyeshadow 
Since the lighting really wanted to start acting up,
I had to switch to flash to finish. I used this Tarte
tarteist Pro Glow To Go palette for my contour/bronzer.

I used the bottom shade Chisel to contour/bronze my face.


For blush and highlight I used Becca Cosmetics.

I used the blush shade in the middle called Amaretto.
The highlight I used is the top left one called Prosecco Pop.
I again used Mac fix+, but this time to set my
face to keep my makeup in place.






My completed face/eyes for this look. 
Face Brushes used:
XO Beauty Vegan Flat Face
XO Beauty Vegan Powder
XO Beauty Vegan Bronzer
Luxie Lush 504 Large Angled 
Glo-minerals Contour/Highlight






 Left eye is L'oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara. $9.99


Right eye is Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara. $23.00

I have to say I love both of these brands and own many products from both of them! I'm in no way tearing Too Faced down. In my opinion, L'oreal has just really upped their game with this product! Although I do enjoy both of these, I prefer the L'oreal one over the Too Faced one. In pictures they look about the same. I feel the Better than Sex sometimes tends to clump up some and its life span isn't the greatest in my opinion. I've been using the Voluminous Lash Paradise for a good solid two months now and it still applies like it's brand new! The formula on it isn't as thick as the other, and for that reason I feel it does apply better. The wands on both are almost identical. The shape is about the same, but the Better Than Sex wand is a little more dense. I love these wand shapes and prefer them over any of the hard plastic ones. 
The top lashes look almost the same, but for the bottom ones I do feel that the Too Faced one looks fuller and the L'oreal one looks more natural. 
Once again they're both great products, but for the cost and how similar they are I recommend checking out the L'oreal one for sure!


I finished this look with this Ulta Beauty
Matte lipstick in the shade Petal. This was my
first time trying out any of their lipstick and
it was pretty good for being drugstore price
and matte finish!

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug...
