Elf Eyebrow Stencil Kit

So I'm reviewing Elf Eyebrow Stencil Kit. I got this kit because well honestly it was on sale for $00.70. I purchased my kit from Target where they sale Elf products. I was interested in this kit because the concept was cool. All you have to do is pick one from out of the four stencils and lay it over your eyebrows and basiclly color it in with an eyebrow pencil or a suitable brow powder. This is great for those who have a hard time drawing/creating a perfect eyebrow for themselves. I recommend this for anyone. 
  Pros for this product is that it's pocket friendly (original prince $1),has options for which eyebrow design you want to accomplish, and travel friendly. Cons well there's no cons with this kit.

Almay's One Coat Get Up & Grow


The Almay cosmetic line isn't really advertise and mention by others as much as other cosmetic lines are. Almay's cosmetic line already has cons because it caters to lighter skin people and not to tan or to darker skin people. This is a problem because if a makeup line doesn't sale makeup for a certain group then you'll never think to look into their products. I tried an Almay mascara before on a whim (because it was on clearance). That  mascara I tried is now discontinued but I was upset because it was an amazing mascara. So I heard a great review about the  Almay one coat get up & grow mascara (shade blackest black) and how amazing it was, I wanted to give it a try.
   Just like the other Almay mascara this one was amazing. I could use this mascara by itself and apply it into of other mascaras. Its wand is brush base and I could apply as may coats I wanted to my lashes without it  clumping. I had had no problems meaning no cons for this review. But I do have a con for the Almay cosmetic line and that is that they only cater for lighter skin people so I would love for them to make makeup in darker shades for darker skin people.

*Review* Wet and Wild Blushes

To be honest with you, I've heard and seen people talked about the Wet and Wild Blushes, and all has been good positive feed back about these blushes. But I had no desire to try them, simply because of the packaging made them look cheap. I decided tho I should give them a chance and see for myself how amazing these blushes are ( and too they're only $2.99 who could beat that). 
  I bought a Wet and Wild blush in the shade 834E Berry Shimmer. So after I applied the blush on one cheeki knew; I LOVED IT. I put my brush in the blush and saw how beautiful the color pay of was, a little goes a long ways so dip your brush I'm the product lightly ( and always tap your brush before applying on cheek). 
  Pros for this product is that the blush is very pigmented and little goes a long way  with this product. And you definitely can't  beat the price $2.99 ( I got mines from CVS and that's their price). Con for this product is that they can do a lot better with their packaging. I mean Elf blushes are the same price and their packaging is way nicer (I believe packaging helps sell products). 
  So to conclude this review about Wet and Wild Blushes, go try it for yourself and you'll love the quality of this product. I know for a fact I'm going back to the store to get a couple more.

*First Impressions/Review* Ponds Cucumber Cleanser

So today I decided to try out the, Pond's Cucumber Cleanser. This is the second time and item I've tried from the brand Pond's. I wanted to try this particular product because I wanted to compare it to a high-end product. The Pond's Cucumber Cleanser is different to alot of makeup removers is that it's in a lotion form. You usually see high-end cosmetic lines selling lotion form makeup removers. So when I saw a  drugstore version I couldn't pass that up (and too Pond's products were buy one get one free that week). 
  So for the review the cleanser is like a  lotion constancy and you're suppose to apply it on your face and rub it in and simply whip or wash off. I honestly can say I like this product and it did remove my makeup easily and my mascara from my eyelashes. It did not burn my eyes, the scent isn't over powering and smells like cucumber/fresh scent. It did not leave my skin dry but nice and soft. I can honestly say this product is better then my other high-end lotion makeup remover (base on results and a big price difference). 
  Pros and cons for this product is that the pros is it does exactly what it clams
to do, and you cant beat the price of this product (especially when you can catch it on sale), but the only con is that I wish the jar was sealed. I like buying products that are sealed, knowing that nobody else's might of been in the product and germs can get in products sealed. But yes I looked and saw that non of the jars had seals in them.
  You can find Pond's products at your local pharmacies, Walmart, and Target.

*FOTD* Using Maybelline New York Products


 I wore all Maybelline New York Products except for two products (Rimmel London's Eyebrow pencil and Queens CoverGirls lip liner in shade Q135 Plum). This is because for the past two weeks I've been buying mostly Maybelline's newly release products and decided to try them out.
  So the products I used for the FOTD was Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation Stick, Fit Me Liquid Foundation, Fit Me Concealer, Fit Me Press Powder, Fit Me Blush (shade Deep Wine),Maybelline Limited Edition Blush (shade 205 Wild Blossom), Maybelline Masterprecise Liquid Eyeliner, Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara, and Maybelline Limited Edition Colorsensational High Shine Lipgloss (shade 300 Lavender Lavish).
  I will not be reviewing the products i used for this FOTD on this post but the only con for the FOTD was the liquid foundation was to dark for me so I'll have to take it back (so I wasn't able to use it). I'll be doing a separate post and reviewing the products I used for this FOTD and giving my personal opinions later on.

*New* Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Collection

So I have purchased Maybelline's original Baby Lips Moister Balms and is a fan of the Baby Lips line (and plus who can't love the packaging for the Baby Lips Moister Balms) so I was determine to get the new Baby Lips from their new collection "Electro". When I first saw the the collection I was excited, the colors were so bright and eye catching. I purchased #85• Oh! Orange and #90• Minty Sheer. I knew that the colors wouldn't come out the actual orange or green (lets just be real) so I wasn't worry at all trying these colors out. The #85 actually color pay off was somewhat noticeable on my lips, just a hint of color. And so far #85 is my favorite in this collection, coming off on my lips as light orangish pink, which I know I can wear this color anytime of the day. The #90 (the bright green balm) is basically a clear balm with a tad bit of green nothing noticeable only if you swatch it on plan white paper (ok I'm guilty I was curious). Both Baby Lips were moisturizing, I actually like Baby Lips "Electro" collection better then the original one. This may be because this collection has Shea Butter and Vitamin E in it, making the lip balms more moisturizing. The only con for this product would be that it has no SPF. But I'll be looking forward trying the other colors from the Baby Lips Electro collection.
