Im way stoked to share with you my current favorite Maybelline products and my March Favorites!! SO Lets start with the Maybelline Products.........
First off im extremely picky when it comes to mascara! Once I find a good mascara it is really difficult for me to veer off and go to another brand. So for the passed year or two I have been using Maybelline New York Mega Plush Volum' Express in black. This has been my favorite for so long and I just love how it looks on my lashes. The mascara makes them long and defined! It rarely clumps and stays on all day. Recently it was my birthday, and my mom got me a goodie bag of stuff! One of the products in the bag was Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express in black. Can I just say wow? It really does wonders for my eyes! They get extremely long and very defined! It doesn't clump together my lashes and they look awesome all day. I think I like them both equally. Plus its drug- store makeup! So its cheap!!!!! If you are looking for a new mascara, you should go with either of these mascaras, they wont let you down(: My next favorite is Maybelline Baby Lips! Im sure most of you have a Baby Lips, but if you don't...... GO BUY ONE! They have really nice shades and flavors and they are super moisturizing! I use 05 "Quenched" which is just the clear one, but I really like the scent and its great for a normal everyday use balm! My current colored Baby Lips is 15 "Cherry Me' a subtle red color. I also really like this scent. My lips always feel so moisturized using this product. I definitely recommend these cute little balms!
My last and final Maybelline "Current Fav" is the Shine Sensational Lip Gloss. For a drug store lip gloss, these are great! They have really pigmented tints or just normal sheer glosses(: I don't really look good with tinted lip glosses so I use a sheer gloss. I currently use 70 "Mad About Melon" it has a tiny bit of color in it and smells great(: Its very buildable as well.
My first March Fav is the Loreal Paris Ideal Clean Wipes!  Now Im not totally in love with these, but they are way good wipes!! They take my eye makeup off real well and leave my face feeling fresh after I use them. They have a clean scent as well. Now I wouldn't recommend this product to someone who has oily skin. Although the package says all skin types, someone who has oily skin wouldn't like this product. I don't have oily skin, but after using these my face does seem to have a tad bit of oiliness on it. But if you would like some cheap cleansing wipes, this is the product for you!
okay So my last fav for this month Is ETC by Rue 21! This is a really great scent for $9.99 available at Rue 21. I think it smells amazing. It has a light fresh scent and stays on my body all day. Definitely go check it out(:  So that sums up my Maybelline/March Favs! I really hope you enjoyed it and will take buying these products into consideration! xoxox

Sometimes Cheap is better

Nothing is more satisfying then going to the register and paying for four items and only spending $7. Especially when they are great products. I needed some new mascara and some new concealer and thought I would try two new brands. Instead of my normal $9 mascara and my $5 concealer I thought going cheaper may be a good thing. I use drug store makeup because i have found what works best for me and i am on a wonderful thing called a budget. Trust me, if i could afford mac or urban decay every few weeks i would so buy there products. But i cant. I know sometimes buying a cheap makeup product wont work as well as something you pay for that's more expensive. SO I went to Target and bought Elf tone correcting concealer and NYC lengthening sky rise mascara. The concealer was $1 and the mascara was $1.59. Can you say cheap? Now I will admit I was a bit skeptical if these would be quality products. So I took them home and gave them a try... The Elf concealer was surprisingly a great product!! I put concealer under my eyes to cover up my dark eyes or to look less tired. It did what it was supposed to do. Of course my other concealers apply a lot creamier and apply easier, but for $1 I have no complaints. As for the mascara it was a good product. When I say good I don't mean great. For $1.59 it does what it says. It definitely lengthened my lashes so it did what I was wanting. How can you beat $1.59 and get what you want?! NO complaints(: SO the moral of my story is sometimes cheap is better, of course if you want to spend the few extra dollars and get a product you know you like, then do it!!

Ulta Makeup Kit

So Can I Just say there is nothing more exciting then receiving a new makeup kit? Especially one from Ulta Cosmetics! For Christmas I received the COLOR PLAY ARTIST COLLECTION KIT. A 77 piece kit. HOW COOL IS THAT? So I thought I would do a product review on it just in case it was time for you to buy a new kit. (;
This kit includes 4 eyeliners, 40 eye shadows, 5 blushes, 2 pressed powders, 14 lip glosses, and 6 cream eye liners. Pretty cool right? That's what im saying.
So Now for the review! I have to say makeup kits don't always include the best products. Especially if you get a unpopular brand or it is semi cheap. But if you look around and know your stuff you can buy a lot of quality products all in one little kit! My favorite part of the kit was the plastic overlay that named all the colors of the products. So in case I liked one color or product in specific I could go buy that color in a larger size individually. The eye shadows in the kit are very pigmented and have the greatest colors!!! I love using eye shadow that is so vibrant and easy to apply, it makes applying makeup that much better. I also really like the 4 eyeliners. The colors they came in were black, smoke, plum, deep brown. These liners were very creamy and had a nice deep color to them. Which I really like. The tools for applying the makeup were so-so. The blush brush was a bit flat and the cream eyeliner brush was extremely tough. As for the blush, it was nice. But for the bronzer I am least impressed with. The bronzer was unfortunately to deep for my complexion. I don't normally wear bronzer anyways but it still would have been nice if it was lighter. The bronzer was very powdery and its powder got In many places inside the kit even though I hadn't used the bronzer yet. Overall I am satisfied with this kit. I will definitely use it and I would recommend it to my friends who are looking for a nicer than usual kit. If I had to rate this product out of ten stars, I would give it a 7.
