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!

Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer | Makeup

  Revlon Colorstay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer  Revlon has a new Colorstay concealer that I had to share for different reasons. I've been trying it out for the past few weeks and have my shades down and also the way I like to apply it! So I thought I would let you in on my secrets... My fair with neutral undertones skin has done best with the shade fair in the concealer although I'm super close to the shade, vanilla as well. My absolute favorite way of wearing this concealer formula is day-to-day by itself. It's that "your skin but better" look where I only use spot concealer under my eyes and where needed. It blends in without leaving weird patches but wears nicely in place. The only complaint here is the creasing I do experience with fine lines and creases that are on my skin. A little setting powder fixes that. I have tried the universal neutralizer and wasn't a fan. I'm sure it would be nice for most, but my fair skin doesn't mix well with the sha...

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare I have plenty of skincare blogs coming your way, but I wanted to post again about Good Molecules and their products I've been loving.  I do have a video on these products, mainly so on the eye patches, but now that I have been using both of them for awhile I wanted to share my thoughts.  Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I have always enjoyed any eye product. From eye masks like these to eye creams. They both make a huge difference in my skincare. I go through spells of little sleep and gradually see my under eye area get darker and darker. I'm also paranoid of getting eye wrinkles so I try to keep my eye area super hydrated and even throw in anti-aging in the mix once in awhile. What I can say is that I was not expecting what happened with these eye patches. Yes I'm used to hydration boosts with eye masks, but the difference you see immediately with th...

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...
