wet n wild - Ultimate Brow Kit

wet n wild's product description:
Mini brow salon in a handy, purse-friendly compact with all the essential tools to shape, smooth, define, and maintain perfect brows. This five-piece set includes a soft wax that shapes brows, two setting powders for definition, a hard angle brush for easy application, and mini tweezers for stray hairs. This eyebrow powder is amazing. The color is just right for me. It's an ash brown color so there is no red tint to it and is very pigmented. The brush that comes with it works surprisingly well and the eyebrows don't disappear throughout the day. I love the wax that comes with it too because it keeps my eyebrows from disappearing midday and it grooms my eyebrows after applying it. This is a must try if it matches your eyebrow color because it's easy to apply, won't fade, and very cheap!

Almay - Intense i-color Liquid Eyeliner

Almay product description:
Play up your eye color with dramatic, contrasting color! High-impact liquid liner defines your eyes with precise, bold color. Easy to use applicator glides on smoothly and evenly.

This is a great liquid eyeliner. It has a felt tip so it is easy to use even if you don't have a steady hand or a liquid eyeliner beginner. When you look very closely, you can see that this liquid eyeliner contains very small glitters in it. I'm guessing that the glitters are supposed to "bring out your eyes." The glitters are not visible once you apply your eyeliner. The color is opaque and it lasts all day long. It doesn't smudge, wear, or chip off like some liquid eyeliners do.

 

L'Oreal - Telescopic Mascara Carbon Black

L'Oreal's product description:
For lashes with dramatic length and 2X the intensity. The Flexible Precision Brush instantly lengthens up to 60%, while carbon black pigments dramatize your look.

When I go out to buy mascaras, I do my research before I go because I'm so indecisive and end up spending a long time at a drugstore, and I usually don't buy products on a whim. However, this was just calling my name when I passed by it. I was always hesitant of trying mascaras with a rubber wand but decided to try it anyway. I absolutely love this mascara. The wand is skinny so it is very easy to apply especially on my lower lashes. It significantly adds length to my lashes and separates them evenly. It doesn't clump nor smudge. Although my eyelashes are already dark, it gives me more intensity to them. This is my new favorite mascara.

Revlon - Colorstay Brow Enhancer

Revlon's product description:
Essential 2-in-1 tool for perfectly groomed brows that gives professional-looking results and wears up to 16 hours.

This eyebrow pencil is convenient because it has a brow pencil and a highlighter. It is also a twisty type so you don't have to worry about sharpening them out. I really like the color, it looks natural and they're not too harsh but still gives the right amount of color. I love the highlighter because it's not white so it gives a natural highlight to your brow bone. Each color comes with a complimentary highlighter color. The only downside is that this wears off in a few hours for me. That won't stop me from using this though, because I love it so much. 

Almay - Bright Eyes Eye Base + Concealer

Almay's product description:
Instantly refreshes and enhances your eyes with a unique natural complex of marine extracts, white tea and light reflectors specifically designed to brighten and illuminate your eyes. This concealer visually depuffs the eye area and helps reduce the appearance of dark circles. Provides a smooth canvas for eye shadow application.

I'm so happy that I came across this product. I love how it hides the veins on my eyelid which I usually try to hide with foundation. I don't get dark circles so I'm not concerned about hiding them but it does a great job of brightening my under eye area. This does not make my eyeshadow crease, and prevents my mascara from smudging even after a long day. The packaging can use some improvement because you have to squeeze out the product through the brush applicator, and can't control the amount coming out. The lid can get pretty messy. Overall, this is great as a concealer and eyeshadow base, and I love the price. This company also does not test on animals, which I always appreciate. I wish I could've come across this product sooner, would definitely recommend to everyone.

Physicians Formula - Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Jumbo Lash Mascara

Physicians Formula claims that this mascara provides 100% dramatic volume & glamour, 100% of the total ingredients are from natural origin, 47% of the ingredients are from organic farming, organisoy moisturizes and nourish lases, and eco-olive a natural antioxidant, shields lashes from harsh environmental aggressors.
Physicians Formula is one of my favorite drugstore brands because they don't test on animals. I like how they are into organic ingredients and economically friendly. This mascara was a huge disappointment. It gave me good volume and length, separates my lashes very nicely, doesn't clump at all, and the packaging is absolutely adorable. However, this smudges on me way too much! It claims to be smudge-free but unfortunately, it makes me looking a like a panda bear. Mascaras do tend to smudge on me but it hasn't smudged as bad as this one. Otherwise, this would have been a perfect mascara for me because I love the instant result that it delivers. I'm so sad. 4 out of 10
