Product Reviews

Well hello there!

How convenient you came to visit today! This blog is reviewing a few products that I happen to love and use on a daily basis, so relax, grab a cup of tea, put your feet up and enjoy a little you time today! 

Makeup: 

They’re Real! by Benefit Cosmetics is a mascara that I use on a daily basis. I personally love this mascara, it really covers my eyelashes well without clumping them together and making it look cakey and too fake. This mascara also has a great, lasting wear to it, it does not leave my eyes all day and it is waterproof, so unless I remove it my makeup wipes then it will stay on. The packaging for this product is also very sleek and makes me feel sort of professional, as it has a sleek silver casing and dramatic black and orange lettering.

 Another plus is the applicator, this applicator is a plastic applicator, but Benefit has customized this applicator to have bristles completely surrounding the brush, and it helps to apply the product evenly and cleanly. 

This mascara also comes in three colors, black, brown and blue! However, as there is with every product, there are some negatives. When you first will buy this mascara, it needs to air out to work effectively, using it right away will not give you the wanted results, what I personally do to combat this, is blow on the brush with the mascara before putting it on my lashes, this dries it out a little bit and makes it less clumpy and gross. This mascara may irritate the eyes too if worn for too long, this is common with every mascara, but I find that if I wear this mascara from very early in the morning until 1 am when I usually get to sleep, it will be stinging and irritating my eyes. Another issue that I have found is that the brush applicator handle is quite long and may grab excess product on it, so there needs to be a lot of caution taken when applying in order to not be covered with black mascara spots by the end of a makeup routine (believe me it happens). This mascara can be great for anyone who wants a mascara that is lengthening and volume creating with a great color.

 It both brightens and enlarges the eyes to make them more prominent and a focal point on the face. However, I would not recommend this product to anyone who need the mascara to work right away, it does need to air out, and it could also be a harsh product for people with sensitive eyes or sensitive skin to use, as it is hard to get off and can be irritating. This is the only mascara I have used for a while now and I love this product, I would recommend this to anyone looking for some variety in their makeup routine, and for someone looking to venture out and try something new.



Clothes:

The next product on my list to be reviewed is American Eagles Jeggings. For those of you that don't know, jeggings are jeans that fit more like a legging. These are the only jeans that I wear every day, they give me the fit I desire and are extremely comfy to wear all day. These jeans come in many styles, materials and colors! American Eagle offers Sateen jeans, knit, velvet and denim jeggings through their website.

American Eagle also offers their jeans in a wide variety of sizes and lengths to fit people of all shapes. Another great thing about these jeans is they actually have a decent amount of pocket space for women’s jeans, usually women’s clothing does a terrible job at having pockets pig enough to put anything in, but I can actually fit my phone in my back pocket of these jeans comfortably. 

Some negatives about these jeans are that they are pretty expensive, they are usually priced around 50 dollars without tax, so they are definitely an investment and I would suggest waiting to get them on a sale. If you get dark colored jeans, the colors can stain your skin temporarily, it does come off but you will be blue for a while. If you don’t like skinny jeans, these would also not be very good for you as they are a tight fit, but if that’s what you’re looking for then these are great! These jeans are great for anyone who wants to wear female jeans, these are stylish and comfortable jeans in many colors and styles to attempt to please everyone. 

These also would not be great for anyone on a tight budget, these jeans are pretty expensive however I believe the quality of these jeggings is worth it. I would highly recommend these jeans to everyone looking for high quality, comfy, great jeggings that can be paired for an everyday look or a more professional casual Friday look at work.  

Pamper:

My last product that I am reviewing today is from the company LUSH, and it is their shower gel Snow Fairy. This soap is AMAZING! I personally am obsessed and get it every year when it comes out in the seasonal collection. The company LUSH uses all natural ingredients in all of their products and are completely cruelty free. 

This soap smells like bubblegum, and it will keep the smell soaked into your skin for a while after you use it. Another great aspect of this soap is that it is extremely moisturizing, my skin has never reacted better to a soap than to LUSH’s shower gels. If you like sparkles, this soap would be great for you too, because along with the candy scented soap it also has sparkles in the mixture! Cons to this product would be the smell, my friend has asthma and with LUSH’s products, they are too strong for her and she reacts badly and cannot breathe. Another thing about this shower gel would be that the texture is a bit watery and liquidy, however all of their shower gels are this way and I believe it is because they do use all natural ingredients so the texture is bound to be different. A frequent downfall of this product that I have found is that it is hard to find, there are not many LUSH stores, and with this product being only for the Christmas Holiday season, they are often out of this soap by the time I can actually get to a store.  A plus to this product is that you will smell like bubble gum and sparkle, and I don’t know who wouldn’t want that! However, I would not suggest this soap to people who are allergic to the ingredients, or have a very sensitive sense of smell. Or if you don’t like to smell and sparkle like a fairy princess this to probably wouldn’t be your cup of tea. However, if you do I would highly recommend trying this product out and you’ll feel like every shower is a pamper session. 

It has come to that time again where it is the end of the blog! I hope that you found these reviews useful and take them into consideration! If any of these products or companies sound like something you would like to give a shot, the websites will be listed below! Have a great life and until next time, goodbye!
