ELF and Wet N Wild collab

Finally had a chance to play around with my new ELF Beautybook Neutral Eye edition and WNW Snow Sprite that I bought last month. Anywho it didn't quite come out like I had hoped....

Good morning gals!

Haha, TBA soon! Love you all, have a great week! :)

Hard Candy Glam-oflauge concealer

Bargain alert! Hard Candy, what is up with you? You make wonderful, genuine products that don't cost an arm and a leg and create a palette of products for different tastes...Certainly something to appreciate, right gals?

Because my love for that perfect, full-coverage concealer continues, I wanted to share my new found love, the new Glam-oflauge Heavy Duty Concealer. What makes this concealer so special? #1 It can be bought for cheap ($6 at participating Walmart stores), #2 It actually works, and #3 20 grams of concealer in a tube (enough to last a good while especially when you just need a tiny amount during application!) Before trying out this very special concealer, my holy grail concealer, the Prescriptives Camo concealer took the throne. What I love about the HC concealer is that you just need a tiny amount from an already large amount of concealer in the tube. Application is a breeze, the packaging is nice, what more can you ask for?

My shade: Light to Medium, but I chose the Light for the season. Normally I tend to lighten up on my tan quite a bit when it is cold out. I will most likely purchase the Medium shade sometime around April.

product: 5 stars out of 5

packaging: 5 stars out of 5

quality: 5 stars out of 5

overall : 5 stars out of 5

would buy again? Yes

pros:  

Large amount in tube, no smell, lasts all day, little goes a long way,

price is right, easy to blend, looks natural

cons:

not sold in every drugstore-only Walmart stores and few websites

On a scale of one to ten I'd rate:

10!

Avon Black/Whitehead remover

What a nifty little tool I recently bought from Avon. For some time now I've been looking for a thingamajig that removed those pesky little black and white heads that refuse to leave after a facial scrubbing!

Avon Black/white head remover (.99cents) comes with a plastic blue carry case. The Blackhead remover is a tiny melon baller shaped end which is about 1/4 of an inch wide with a small hole in the middle. 

The Whitehead side on the other end of the tool is a tiny circle-wire like measuring about as small as the blackhead end.

Before usage wipe both ends with rubbing alcohol and wash hands. It's best to use right after showering since pores are open at this time. For blackhead usage I found that the blackhead remover side removes blackheads quite easily. On other days I've had to apply translucent powder on the area of my face due to the blackhead remover sliding around from oils on my skin.

The whitehead end is an absolute pleasure to work with. This end easily removes whiteheads and I've found can double up as a blackhead remover as well, but with patience!

After each use you wipe down and clean off debris with rubbing alcohol. I've found that this is a great tool for allowing a safe removal of black and whiteheads without potential damage to the skin. My pinching fingers did the job of removing black and whiteheads previously which is a huge call for redness and scars! I can really appreciate this little tool and I hope you love it too!
