Hello beauties and thanks for stopped by! Today I am going to do a comparison review of the Rimmel Max Bold Curves mascara to the Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara. I am a huge mascara fan and it is essential to my daily makeup routine.
The Rimmel Max Bold Curves mascara is a newer additional to my collection. I got it in a makeup swap a little bit ago and have been using it ever since. I am not the biggest fan of this mascara for a couple reasons. First, it is extremely clumpy and messy to apply. I usually have to use a tissue on the brush to remove excess product before applying to my lashes. Second, the wand is too big. I struggle applying this without getting mascara all over my face, which you can see in the above picture. It also doesn't do a good job at curling or lengthening my lashes, except my lower lashes; it works well on the lower lashes. It claims to do the opposite of everything it is lacking.
This retails for around $7.00 dollars.
The Covergirl Clump Crusher has been in my makeup collection since last summer. I absolutely adore this mascara. I have never had an issue with it being clumpy or messy to apply. It really gives your lashes that extra something, especially if your curl them prior to applying the product. The mascara does an excellent job at curling and lengthening my lashes. This retails for around $8.00 dollars.
So, I think it is very clear that the Covergirl Clump Clusher is the winner here. The Rimmel mascara just doesn't compare to the Covergirl mascara. It is messy, clumpy, and hard to work with. I guess I am onto looking for a better and greater mascara than the Covergirl Clump Crusher.
Deep Purple #sallyhansen #notd by @elizabethkathrynx
I pained my nails over the weekend with a nail polish I've had for a good six moths that I just haven't used. This is Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear polish in Deep Purple(170). It is a beautiful purple shade, perfect for summertime! These are some of my favorite polishes. I applied two coats of this polish and it was opaque. You can buy Sally Hansen at your local drugstore.

I went to the drugstore last week with my sister and saw a display with the new Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara. I have never been fond of Maybelline mascara, but wanted to give this new mascara a try. First of all, I really like the packaging of this mascara, perfect for spring and summer! The wand on this mascara is huge! I find it is easy to apply this to the upper lashes but more difficult to apply to the lower lashes because it is so large. It also gets a little clumpy on the lower lashes for some weird reason, but I do enjoy the formula. It not too dry or wet. Overall, its a pretty decent drugstore mascara. It is a little expensive, running about $8.50 at my local CVS, but that is easy to get around with coupons, sales, discounts, etc.
I would recommend this mascara to anybody who enjoys Maybelline mascara.
My fiance decided to take a few beauty shots of me applying the mascara, so here's a little treat :)
I got these polishes in a makeup swap and I just adore this combination. I like wearing the glitter polish on the ring finger to add a little extra something to the look. I also wore this combination for my New Year's Eve gathering I had at my apartment!
Sally Hansen Gunmetal
Sally Hansen Silver Streamers
Beauty Secrets Top Coat
Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer | $4.99 | Link
So this is the first review post I have done in a long time! I recently ran out of my ELF Primer and went to the store to pick up another one but I spotted this primer in the Rimmel section at Target. The packaging that this primer came in stated that it was a new product, so I was super excited to see another drugstore brand come out with a eyeshadow primer.
This primer claims to "prevents creasing, maximizes and intensifies the color of your eyeshadow, and extends its wear by up to 7 hours." I have worn this under my eyeshadows all week and noticed creasing in about 6 hours, but I have oily lids, so that is to be expected. The primer has a doe-foot applicator, like many primers, and blends to be clear on the lids. It has a somewhat silicone-like consistency and is very easy to work with. It also did not irritate my eyelids.
This has quickly become a staple in my everyday makeup routine and I can see myself purchasing this again in the future. I also think the primer has a great price point at $4.99. It is very affordable, unlike some high end primers that cost upwards of $30 dollars! I would definitely recommend this primer!
For under $5 dollars, I picked up this new Maybelline Baby Lips Dr.Rescue at my local Rite Aid. The Baby Lips Dr.Rescue line provides a smoothing, cooling sensation because it has menthol as an ingredient. It is supposed to provide 12 hours of hydration but I find myself applying this every few hours. I feel like this lip balm does an excellent job at moisturizing my lips. I am not a huge fan of the menthol scent, but if you like the scent of cough drops, then you will love the scent of this product. Overall, I definitely recommend this line of baby lips if you have dry and/or chapped lips in the fall and winter seasons! You can find these at your local drugstore!

In today's video, I am doing a review of the Tom's Long Lasting Deodorant. I picked this up at Target last weekend because I wanted to try out a new deodorant. It's around $4 dollars, which is a little on the pricey side for deodorant, in my opinion. I enjoy the scent of this product, as well as the fact that it is a cruelty-free brand and it aluminum free! Hope you enjoy this quick video!

Maybelliene Color Show in Go Go Green #340
I picked up this nail polish a few months ago at Target (it was on clearance for $0.88 cents) and finally got around to wearing it! It is a beautiful green color, perfect for the spring and summer seasons, although I could see it being worn all year round! These Color Show nail polishes have the most amazing formula! They are also opaque in two coats. I paired this polish with my Beauty Secrets Top Coat, which you can purchase at Sallys Beauty Supply. I highly recommend these polishes and they are one of my favorites from the drugstore!
Two Coats
Today's nail of the day post features Maybelline's Color Show Holographic polish in Mystic Green. I tried to like this polish but unfortunately this one let me down. You can that this is a gorgeous green duo-chrome with gold reflex. The packaging is great and it applied like any other nail polish on the market, however, I HATE the formula of this polish. It is odd. It is thin but thick at the same time. It also appears very streaky on the nails and leaves a weird bubbling effect as well, almost like there are small glitter specs in the polish itself, maybe that is for the "holographic" effect. I have heard this line of polishes by Maybelline are supposed to be great but this particular one is a HUGE let down.
This nail polish can be bought at most drugstores.
Also I am starting to sell clothing, jewelry, etc. on Poshmark!

Wow, long time no post! I have been so busy these last few weeks, I haven't had time to sit down and write up a post. I managed to time a small window today to write a post up about a little shopping I did today! I am also going to NYC IMATS tomorrow, April 7th!
So, this is what I bought at Target and Walmart!
1) Rimmel BB Cream - I have heard really great things about this BB Crea, so I decided to buy it.
2) New Rimmel 60 Second Nail Polishes - I bought four of these lovelies because they only cost $1.50 at Walmart! I am very curious to see if they are worth it or not. They have a great color selection and for the price, you can't beat it!
3) Maybelline Baby Lips - I already own the baby lips in Quenched and I am loving it! I saw this one and though, why not? They do a great job at moisturizing your lips and they also have SPF 20!
Have you gone shopping lately??

Over the weekend, I went to Target and picked up this e.l.f. volumizing Mascara. It only costs $2.00!!
The packaging of this mascara is very basic and simple, which doesn't bother me. The mascara doesn't have a very strong scent either, which I know can bother people. It has a nice formula, it isn't too wet nor too dry.
BEFORE
AFTER
I do have some minor breaks outs at the moment but who doesn't?
I am also still trying to find the perfect tinted moisturizer/bb cream for my skin tone, which is near impossible because everything oxidizes on my skin. If you have any recommendations, please leave them in the comments below.
Final Thoughts: As you can see, this mascara does a pretty decent job and adding some extra volume to the lashes. It is also very black, which is a plus for me. The only it doesn't do, is add extra length to your lashes. Overall, this mascara is a great alternative to other expensive mascaras and I highly recommend this is beginners (:
You can buy e.l.f. products at Target or online at http://www.eyeslipsface.com/

*I purchased this mascara with my own money. This post is not sponsored.
I am always trying out new makeup wipes to find the best ones and these are my new favorite! These are the Aveeno ultra-calming makeup remover wipes. I got these for Christmas and finally starting using them about a week ago. They are oil free, noncomedogenic, dermatologist tested and ophthalmologist tested. First of all they are very calming! They have an ingredient on them, which is similar to Chamomile, which leaves your skin feeling smooth. I find them very calming because of their scent as well. They do an excellent job at taking your makeup off, both eye makeup and face makeup. They don't burn my eyes either! These are by far some of the best drugstore makeup remover wipes I have ever tried and will be a favorite for a long time!
What are your favorite makeup removes wipes?

Today's nail of the day post features Wet n Wild's new Silvivor polish. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and finally decided to test it out. This is a gorgeous metallic silver polish, that is absolutely perfect for the holiday season, especially New Year's Eve! I could also see this polish being popular around Homecoming and/or Prom season as well!
one coat, natural lighting
This photo does not do this polish justice! It appears very streaky and not opaque in the photo but the polish is the complete opposite! I applied one coat and the polish was opaque! You could apply two coats but I don't see a reason why, unless you encounter streaking. I love the formula of these polishes.
You can find Wet n Wild at drugstores for around $1.99 dollars.
Would you wear this polish?

Last week I took a small road-trip to Northern Vermont for a job interview and stopped in a local drugstore to pick u some snacks for my night at the hotel. I was browsing the makeup section and found this mascara on sale for $3.44 dollars.
First off, I love the packaging, it is very slim and the color is just gorgeous!
This is the part of the mascara I don't like - the wand! As you can see above, the wand has a very odd shape that makes this mascara very difficult to work with!
Here are the before and after pictures:
Before applying mascara, curled lashes
After applying mascara
As you can see there isn't a huge difference in the appearance of my lashes. My lashes do appear to be slightly longer but they don't have any added volume. The only way I found I could work with this mascara was by moving the wand in a back-and-forth motion up and down my lashes. The "normal" way I apply mascara didn't work. I also don't like how this mascara can be clumpy if you dont comb out your lashes right after applying the mascara.
Final Thoughts: It isn't the greatest mascara in the world and I have tried other drugstore mascaras that have given me better results.
I want to know if you have tried this mascara and had any better luck than I had?

Long time no post! I am super busy with my new job that I barely have any time to write posts and make videos right now! I went to the drugstore this weekend to try and find some of the new fall makeup products that have been launched recently and picked up only one item. I bought the new Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige. It is a gorgeous neutral color, with a hint of shimmer, that I can see selling out very quickly.
I really love this color! I can see myself wearing to work on a daily basis. It is almost exactly the color of my skin but I think it works very well on it's own or as a base.
I wore this to work and it didn't budge for 8 hours with a primer.
Maybelline Color Tattoos retail for $4-$7 dollars at the drugstore.
The color tattoos are compared to the Mac Paint Pots.
Have you picked up any new makeup lately?
