HEY YOU!
This year is coming to a close and it's time to reflect on the best and worst products that I've tried this year! I decided to break these products into two categories drugstore and luxury. I felt most people prefer drugstore makeup so I decided I would review those first! This year the drugstore game has completely changed. They have really stepped it up in trying to keep up with their luxury competitors. And we have all been benefiting from those riches, am I right!? SO we have lots of products to get through so lets begin! Thanks for tuning in!
BE SAFE & BE YOU!
XO, E.
BEST PRODUCTS OF 2015:
Elf eyelid primer $2
Great for keeping your eyeshadows in place, it has a slight tint to help even out any uneven skin tones on the lids, however it is a bit drying if you have dry eyelids you might not enjoy it as much.
Makeup Revolution Palettes (Affirmation $15,Unicorn's United $10 )
These palettes are incredible for the price! The mattes are beautiful, super pigmented, easy to blend and true to color! As for the shimmer some are hits and some are misses but non the less still really good quality!
NYC liquid eyeliner $3 (NCF)
Rich black matte liquid liner that is easy to use but when it starts to flake you know its time to replace!
(I STATED IN THE VIDEO THAT I WOULD REPURCHASE, BUT THAT WILL NO LONGER BE THE CASE SINCE THEY ARE NOT CRUELTY-FREE)

NYX matte liquid liner $7
Intense black matte liquid liner, easy to use and the brush is thin enough for a super thin line or create a really thick liner!
Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara $3
Intense matte black mascara, small brush head that helps get every single lash both top and bottom. But be careful your lashes could get clumpy really fast make sure to keep a lash comb close!
Kiss Lashes All styles $4-$9
These lashes are the most comfortable lashes from the drugstore that I have tried. They are super easy to work with because the band is clear and very pliable so they fit your eyes perfectly!
Pacifica Natural Eye Liner in Fringe $11
This eyeliner has the perfect consistency, it is not too slippery but glides very easily on the waterline. It stays in the waterline without traveling and best of all does not transfer onto contacts!
Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Creme $16
I love this all in one product. It has a very soft and subtle shimmer that makes your skin look dewy but not oily. It's great under foundation or on its own for a non-makeup day.
NYX Dark Circle Corrector $6
If you have dark circles this will be your new best friend! It is a light weight and easy to blend formula that will not cake up under your eyes.
L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid to Powder Foundation shade 328 $10 (NCF)
This foundation is beautiful! It has a demi-matte finish and provides a medium coverage that you could build up to full coverage if needed. This gives your skin such a soft and flawless look.
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer shades 20,25 $6 (NCF)
This concealer is amazing the formula is so thin yet provides great coverage! It's very easy to blend into the skin even if you're not wearing foundation. It does crease slightly if you do not set it with powder.
NYX HD Concealer in Beige $5
This concealer is amazing if you can find the right shade. It has a very light and easy to blend formula. It does crease if not set with a powder.
LA Girl Pro Concealer in creamy beige $3
This concealer is heaven sent! Hands down the best formula I have ever tried! It is rich and creamy and covers everything! The shade selection is incredible! This concealer does not crease on me whatsoever even if I don't set it with powder!
Revlon Nearly Naked Powder shade 30 medium $10 (NCF)
This powder is beautiful! It is very finely milled so it glides on the skin. It doesn't offer too much coverage on it's own but its beautiful on top of foundation for a little more coverage and sets everything in place without caking up!
Milani Baked Bronzer in Sienna (LE) $9
I honestly can not describe how sad I am that this product was limited edition. This bronzer is so beautiful that I can not understand why no one really talked about! It blends onto the skin so effortlessly! This particular shade has some red undertones that are so rare to find in bronzers but look so incredibly natural! I hope Milani does this product justice and brings it back!
Makeup Revolution Ultra Bronzer Palette in All About Bronzed $10
Alternative to the Milani Baked Bronzer in Sienna. This products is great, its not milani bronzer great but very similar. It glides on the skin without skipping or getting muddy. The shade selection in this one palette is great! There are mattes, shimmers, and baked bronzers so there's something for whatever look your going for that day!
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso $6
You need it. That's all I can say. If you don't get it you'll regret it.
Physicians formula shimmer strips $13
OMG! You can use this product for eyeshadows or the most metallic beautiful highlighter!
This product is an all around must have!
Mario Badescu Facial Spray $7
This spray is amazing! It smells like roses and hydrates the skin, what more could you ask for? Oh yeah it gets rid of the powdery look and sets your makeup in place!
Smith's Rosebud Salve $6

WORST PRODUCTS OF 2015
Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation $12
This is the worst foundation I have ever tried in my life! It clings to dry patches, and any imperfection that you might be trying to hide will be put on display with this foundation! My skin looked awful with this foundation, just don't buy it save your money!
Wet n Wild coverall liquid concealer $3
The actual feeling of this concealer is not terrible, it is light weight, cooling and hydrating. However, I believe it is also the downfall of this concealer, as you try to blend this product onto the skin it seems to lift off the skin which is so odd!
Elf High Definition Undereye Setting Powder $3
This powder did not work for me which is sad since most people love this powder. My initial reaction to this powder was why does it have glitter? I never understood that, however it did not linger on the skin once own. My biggest problem with this powder was that it would make my concealers crease, which is the opposite of what this product was suppose to do! Also, I have recently noticed that in pictures you can actually see this powder which just boggles my mind since it's transparent. But in pictures you can see it darkening my undereye which is also the opposite of what this product is meant to do!
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder $5
This products is meant to be transparent but it shows up on my skin. It has flashback in pictures. It does not control my shine. If I attempt to use it as a blotting powder it will cake up.
Coty Airspun Loose powder $7
The smell, oh the smell! This powder is actually not so bad at setting your foundation but be prepared to smell like perfume all day! Also has some flashback in photographs.
Maybelline The Nudes palette $10
This palette is perfect for a beginner. The shadows aren't extremely pigmented, once you blend them on the skin they kind of disappear. However, the shimmer shades in this palette are pretty good and pigmented although a bit chalky.
THE END.
