Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and Color Elixir Lip Gloss Review

     I love watching a few particular Youtubers once a month, such as Michelle Phan, Essie Button, and Fleur Deforce. These girls are so fun and hilarious, and they know the best of almost everything. If you have not watched any of their videos, I highly recommend you do so. You won't be disappointed. They were a lot of my inspiration to start a fashion, lifestyle blog. But we will get back to that another day. 

     So my whole point to the paragraph above is that I heard about the Maybelline Fit Me concealer and the Color Elixir lip gloss through Fleur Deforce. Fleur has a video called, "Top Ten Concealers Under Ten Pounds," in which she states the Fit Me concealer is one of the best drugstore concealers under ten pounds. I know Maybelline is an affordable drugstore product line, so I decided to give it a go. At this point I would have to say that I will always have a tube of the Maybelline Fit Me concealer unless I can no longer obtain it. It has some of the best coverage I have ever seen in a concealer, and it is not cakey at all! I love how it looks and feels. It is so weightless!

     Also, Fleur mentioned people have not always said the best things about the Maybelline Color Elixirs, but that you have to work the product into your lips a bit, and it lasts a long time. I just dab it in with my finger. I love the packaging, so I decided, what the hey, I'll try it. It really is a wonderful lip gloss! I purchased the 100 Petal Plush, and I absolutely love it. For one, the color looks like cotton candy on your lips, and it also smells like a mix between cotton candy and SweeTarts. It's so pretty, and you really can layer the color to make it more intense, or just put on one layer to keep it sheer. 

     Both items came to about $13 at Ulta, and I even used a 20% coupon, and received rewards points. I didn't think of also taking advantage of the buy one, get one 50% off Maybelline items, but I will start paying better attention. Right now they are having double and triple rewards points. I also have a $5 off $15 or more coupon, which I will definitely be using on the new NYX The Curve eyeliner. I know there are other brands using this new ergonomic concept, but I think I want to try The Curve, since it is so affordable. We will see!

     Anyway, thank you so much for checking out my blog. I hope y'all have a great night!

First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy Product Review

     
     About a year ago I heard about the First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy, and sort of forgot about it. When I started watching Youtubers blogging about cosmetics, this product popped back up again. I found it at Sephora, but I believe I have mentioned this product in my Sephora beauty haul article, which mentions how it might be cheaper to buy it online through your favorites list at Dermstore, combined with an Ebates return. 

     I recommend wearing this product alone or in very light layers. I have sensitive skin, so I keep the products on my face as simple as possible. Sometimes when I mix certain products, it irritates the skin around my eyes, particularly in the outer corners. It is soothing to use the metal applicator to rub in the product. A little goes a long way.

Cover Girl and Olay The Depuffer Eye Concealer Makeup Review

     
     I bought this concealer at Walgreen's on a whim, because it was on sale for buy one, get one 50% off. It has a cool metal applicator and the depuff drew me in. I have used it all up at this point, so I really enjoyed it. 

     Apply a dot under each eye and massage the product around with the metal applicator. Blend with your finger or brush. It is definitely soothing and helps calm the skin around your eyes. The product solution is great for blending. I think this is a great department store concealer.
