Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Concealer REVIEW!!

This concealer comes in 9 different shades. I chose the lightest one. This concealer is thick but not as thick as Benefits Erase Paste. It has a creamy texture to it which allows it to blend nicely. This is fragrance-free and is meant for people with normal to oily skin. This product claims to prep, conceal, perfect, and set. It also claims to cover tattoos, dark circles and blemishes. This is a medium to full coverage concealer, I don't think its full coverage enough to conceal tattoos but I do feel like it conceals dark circles, blemishes and redness good. This is a build able concealer. It doesn't settle into fine lines as easily as other concealers do. This is $25 and you can find it at Sephora.

Pros

- Covers blemishes, dark spots and dark circles good

- fragrance free

- easy to blend

- doesn't settle into fine lines as easily as others

Cons

- Price

- Not entirely full coverage

Overall this concealer is great. If your looking for a product to help conceal imperfections this is your product. If your trying to cover up a tattoo, you would want something more full coverage like dermablends cover creme. If you have the money to spend, this is a good product to invest in.

Elfs clarifying pressed powder REVIEW!!

This is a compact pressed powder that comes in 7 shades. This product claims to have a flawless finish, absorbs oil,  and it prevents and treats skin imperfections. As to these claims, I would say that it is very lightweight. It doesn't cover very much, but that is due to the fact it is a powder. Powders give off the leaast amount of coverage. This product does absorb oil, however I will use this product to set my foundation and it will take off the shine, however it still gets a little oily in my T-Zone. This is a good touch up powder though due to the fact it is small and compact, however I will point out it does not have a mirror in the compact. So if you wanted to take this on the go you will need a mirror and a brush. This product is suppose to work at preventing and treating skin imperfections like acne, oil, and even large pores by using salicylic acid. The only downside to this is the salicylic acid is not effective in this form. It has to be in a liquid form because of the pH. You can't rely on this product to help with breakouts. None the less this powder is great. It has a good amount of mineral oil and petrolatum that gives the texture of this powder a smooth glide on feel. The price on this product is great. This is only $1 and you can get it at Target, Walmart, and eyeslipsface.com.

Pros

- good cheap powder

- small so you can fit it in your purse

- Good at setting foundations

Cons

- Not very pigmented

- Does not have a mirror in it, which you would need to pack one

- Salicylic Acid doesn't work if its in powder  form

Overal this is a great product to have and I will most likely continue to buy this. I give it a 9/10. Its cheap, and it helps set foundation.

Clinique face scrub for men REVIEW!!

This is a little different then my normal reviews. But for male viewers out there, I hope this is something you will enjoy reading. This product is in a squeeze tube package, so its very easy to use and its not messy. The claims on this product are its a preshave, reduces ingrown hairs, gets rid of flakes and oil, and it smooths and revives the skin. I will tell you all about my boyfriends thoughts on this product and then mine. He used this and felt like his face was clean. He said it felt good. Also he thought it left a cooling sensation on. He has not used it as a preshave because he got another kit which I will talk about in another review. Now for my thoughts on this product. This does exfoliate the skin well. I feel like this would benefit men and ingrown hairs. The reason why we get ingrown hairs is because the hair can't find its way out of the pore due to dead skin buildup, exfoliating is key to any place where you want to remove hair. This product didn't feel cool on my hand when I tried it. However I didn't use a normal amount of cleanser so that might make a difference on the feeling. I tried it on my face and it felt great, it has alot of beads in it so it exfoliates nicely. Its does feel tingly on and it feels very cooling. The beads in this are great. They are microbeads and they are not harsh for the skin. Some exfoliants made from nuts or seeds can leave micro tears in the skin and could cause acne. The difference between the two is microbeads have a circular shape and have rounded edges, which is good for exfoliating the skin because it won't be too harsh. The exfoliants made from seeds and nuts have sharper edges and leave micro tears in the skin. This didn't have a bad scent to it. It wasn't too fragranced. This is $20 and you can get it at Macys, Sephora, and clinique.com. Overall I would give this product an 8 for men. This is in a squeeze tube and it feels great on the skin. This helps exfoliate the skin which would be beneficial to men who shave a lot.

Tresemme fresh start dry shampoo REVIEW!!

I bought 2 different ones. Around 5 months ago I bought the one for dry hair. This time around I bought the one for fine/oily hair. The one I bought recently is suppose to absorb excess oil and give volume. I can honestly say I don't like tresemmes dry shampoos. They don't feel powdery, they feel more wet. I didn't think it made my hair less oily. I feel like it looked the same. This smells a little florally along with a hairspray scent. I don't particularly like the smell. There really wasn't a difference between both shampoos. I was very shocked that the one meant for oily hair didn't help with absorbing the oil. I thought it would be less liquidy and more powdery then the other one. You get 5.7 oz worth of product. Which is .7 oz more than what you would get from other dry shampoos. I prefer Doves dry shampoo over this one because it actually absorbs the oil and gives my hair volume and lifts the roots. Tresemmes dry shampoo is around $5.
You can find tresemmes dry shampoo at Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Target, and you can find it at Ulta. Overall I would give this product a 2/10. It doesn't do the job its suppose to. It doesn't absorb all oil and it doesn't help volumize my hair.

Essence All Eyes on me mascara REVIEW!!

This is a basic mascara. Its not a bad choice but its not a got to have it product. The claims on this product are it gives volume, curl, length, thickness and it seperates the lashes. This is also Ophthalmology tested. The brush is a basic brush, its not a big brush its more on the smaller side and it has an oval shape its similar to maybellines Great lash mascara. Its the pink bottle with the green top. The formula is wet but not too wet. This isnt waterproof, but they have one that is formulated waterproof. It does give my lashes volume and length but I can get more volume and length from better mascaras. As far as length goes I think it gives a little. Its very natural looking, I would prefer a more dramatic look. It doesn't do much with the curl, and I wouldn't expect it to.I feel like this mascara is good at keeping my lashes from clumping, it works well at keeping them seperated and looking nice. I would recommend  this product to younger girls who are just starting to use makeup. This is very basic and it would be a great start to anyone who wants to get into makeup. This is also good for people who work in an office and they don't want a dramatic look for during the day. This is $2.99, which is a bargain for what your getting. and you can get it at Ulta or at Essence.com. I would give this mascara a 5/10. Its pretty basic and it didn't thrill me. Its not the worst but it doesn't top some of the others I have tried. But for the price it is worth buying.

E.l.f Essential Lip stain REVIEW!!

This lip stain looks like a marker. It has a felt tip that has product on it. You apply this to dry clean lips. If you have a lip balm or anything moisturizing on the lips, then it can prevent the time this stays on the lips. This comes in 7 colors. I got the color pink petal. This color looks like a bright pink in the packaging, however on the lips it looks like a pinky red. If you are pale skinned like me, you might prefer this to a red lip. I find that red lips are tricky on my skintone. I choose the ones with  pink tone or the deep almost brown red. As far as the stay power of this lip stain, it is pretty good. It takes a good scrub to get this product off the lips. This definitely lasts through eating and drinking, it also doesn't transfer onto other people if you kiss them. The tip does sometimes run out so you have to hold it upside down for a little bit just to get it wet again. This was $2. You can get it at walmart, target, or eyeslipsface.com

Pros

-Staying power is great

-Good price for a lip stain

-Cool design for a lip stain

Cons

-Color looks different on then on the packaging

-Limited amount of colors in stores

Overall I was pleased with this product. I would like to find one that doesn't make the lips darker. This product had great longlasting capabilities, and  it was a good price. I didn't like how there weren't many colors available. But for the price it is worth it. I would give this product a 6/10 only because it isn't the color that I was expecting

Stilas One step corrector REVIEW!!

This is meant to be a primer and correct skin tone as well. This has a pump and is in a clear bottle. There are 3 helixes a red, green, and blue. These are what helps mask the tone in the skin. These colors work together to give the skin a more brighter complexion. This product feels great on the skin. I have dry skin and this is very hydrating. This doesn't leave an oily after feeling either. Its very lightweight and perfect for all skin types. I don't think the colors really helped cancel out any discoloration. I wanted to help block out the redness, but I feel like it didn't do much. As far as primer, I wasn't too impressed with how long lasting it was. This didn't make the foundation last long at all. It also didn't do anything for my pores. My pores looked the same.This is $36. You can pick this up at Sephora, Ulta, and Stilascosmetics.com.

Pros

-Feels moisturzed without oilyness

-Lightweight

Cons

- No SPF

-Didn't help longevity of my foundation

-Didn't neutralize undesired tones in my complexion

Overall this product was not a good one. It felt great on the skin because its lightweight and moisturizing without being oily. However this product didn't do its main job which is to neutralize skins discolorations and to prime the skin. I would give this product a 5/10.
