What I Think About… Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous Eyeliner!

Published on by danamayeLeave a comment

Hard Candy Deep Sea Eyeliner 2

I decided to try a turquoise eyeliner! This one is the Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous Eyeliner in the shade Deep Sea. It costs $5 at Walmart.

(This eyeliner was part of my Walmart Beauty Haul.)

Sadly, it’s not super visible either. It’s better than the CoverGirl Electric Green Eyeliner, but not by much. Also, the pencil is hard and painfully drags across the skin.

I think I will try a colored liquid eyeliner next time. Maybe it will have more pigment.

XOXO,

I found this pencil to be easy to work with. It is nice and pigmented. It also glides across my lips instead of dragging. The lip liner is nice and creamy and blends well.

Published on by danamaye1 Comment

Pacifica Ice Baby Highlighter 1.jpg

I found a new highlighter Pacifica Highlighter in the shade: Ice Baby. You can buy it for $6.99 on Amazon. Pacifica is a natural brand that makes vegan and cruelty free products.

(This highlighter was part of my Amazon Beauty Haul.)

It’s definitely more subtle than the Maybelline Master Chrome Highlighter. If you look closely, it has a slight pink sheen, which isn’t noticable in the pan. I love this shade and will be using it often!

Maybelline Sensationals Copper Spark Lipstick 1

I wanted to try a metallic lipstick, so I picked up this fun shade. It’s the Maybelline Sensational Matte Metallics Lipstick in Copper Spark. You can buy it on Amazon for $5.64.

(This lipstick was part of my Walmart Beauty Haul.)

Maybelline Sensationals Copper Spark Lipstick 2

It’s a beautiful burnt orange – copper hybrid, and I love the color. I think it pairs well with my hair.

It doesn’t have a long wear time – it only lasted about three hours when I wore it. That said, this would be fun to wear to an event or for pictures. I love this lipstick!

XOXO,

What I Think About … ELF Makeup Brushes!

Published on by danamaye2 Comments

ELF Bronzing Makeup Brush

I bought 3 elf blushes from Walmart. This first one is a bronzing brush. It works great for contouring my cheekbones. This one costs $2 at Walmart.

The next brush is a crease brush. This is a game changer! It picks up the perfect amount of product and applies to my eye crease – nowhere else. This helps give a crispness to the look. The crease brush is my favorite of the 3. This brush is $3 at Walmart.

ELF Blending Makeup Brush

The next is a blending brush. As an eyeshadow brush, I wasn’t impressed. I don’t feel like it did a good job smoothing my eyeshadow together. But as a highlighter brush, it worked great! This ELF brush is $4 at Walmart.

Overall, I am pretty impressed!

XOXO,

Add A Pop Of Color With… Revlon Color Stay Sapphire Eyeliner!

Published on by danamaye2 Comments

Revlon ColorStay Sapphire Eyeliner 1.jpg

I have been having fun trying colored eyeliners. They add a fun pop to the overall look. Today I am reviewing the CoverGirl Color Stay Eyeliner in the shade Sapphire. You can buy it on Amazon for $4.49.

(This eyeliner was part of my Walmart Beauty Haul.)

Revlon ColorStay Sapphire Eyeliner 2

The color is more of an electric blue than a navy, which I like. It did take some time to build up, as the color is a little lighter. But I think the eyeliner is fun. It would also look good with black eyeliner on the eyelid and the blue eyeliner on the lower lash line.

XOXO,

Is It Worth It? …CoverGirl Electric Green Eyeliner!

Published on by danamaye2 Comments

CoverGirl Defining Moment Electric Green 1.jpg

I decided to try a unique eyeliner. It’s the CoverGirl Defining Moment Eyeliner in Electric Green. You can purchase on Amazon for $5.99.

(This eyeliner was part of my Amazon Beauty Haul.)

CoverGirl Defining Moment Electric Green 2

I wish the color was a little more vibrant. It barely shows up on my eyelids. I will say that it makes for a super subtle, natural look. It also pairs well with my eye color.

The formula is super creamy and almost a little crumbly. It does glide on smoothly, which is nice.

Overall, would I purchase again? Probably not. I’d give it a 2.5 out of 5.

XOXO,

Dana Maye 💚

Pamper Yourself With … Freeman Watermelon Face Mask!

Published on by danamaye1 Comment

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Watermelon Face Mask.jpg

I love the smell of watermelon, so naturally I had to try this face mask! It’s the Freeman Feeling Beautiful Watermelon + Aloe Cooling Gel Mask. It’s supposed to help soothe and moisturize the skin.

First off, I was able to get 10 uses out of the packet. That’s a pretty good value, considering this mask cost $1.37 at Walmart! It has a generous half ounce of product.

I loved the smell. It was nice and light but still smelled like watermelon. Some artificial watermelon scents are too overpowering. This one was perfect.

It did leave my skin feeling nice and soft. So overall I was pleased!

This product was originally mentioned in my Walmart Beauty Haul blog post.

XOXO,

Dana Maye 💚

I Was Surprised… Maybelline Color Tattoo Vintage Purple Eyeshadow!

Published on by danamayeLeave a comment

Maybelline Color Tattoo Vintage People Cream Eyeshadow 1

Happy New Year! Today I am reviewing the Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow in the shade Vintage Purple. It sells on Amazon for $5.40.

(This eyeshadow was part of my Amazon Beauty Haul.)

I was a little disappointed, as the shade on Amazon looked like a metallic lilac color. It ended up being a gray matte with the slightest hint of purple. But…

It turned out to be a really pretty, natural shade on me! It’s a dusky gray and really brings out the blue in my eyes.

I applied with my finger, and it wasn’t super creamy -it was almost tacky. But that’s a good thing in terms of cream eyeshadow. It means it will stay in place and last longer.

While it wasn’t what I expected, I ended up liking this eyeshadow. I will definitely get some use out of it!

XOXO,

Sparkle and Shine With … Maybelline Master Chrome Purple Highlighter!

Published on by danamayeLeave a comment

Maybelline Master Chrome Purple 100 Highlighter 1.jpg

I thought it would be fun to try a purple highlighter! Highlighters are a relatively recent addition to my beauty routine, and I love them! Today I am reviewing the Maybelline Master Chrome Highlighter in the shade 100.

(This highlighter was part of my Amazon Beauty Haul.)

Maybelline Master Chrome Purple 100 Highlighter 2

I love this highlighter! It is definitely a bolder choice than my Physician’s Formula Butter Highlighter. It is both glittery and metallic, and brings a fun vibe to my makeup. You can definitely see the purple sheen, which I was hoping for.

This would look great as part of a fun festival-inspired look or even a glam, New Year’s look! I think it would also be fun as an eyeshadow.

You can buy it on Amazon for $7.66.

XOXO,

Dana Maye 💚
