Origins Plantscription Anti-aging Concealer




 Honestly, I did not expect a lot from this little concealer. Origins is not exactly known for their makeup. But some people are raving about it, and I thought "why not?" 

And I'm kind of loving it.. 



Origins Planscriptions Anti-aging concealer ($17.50) is my on -the-run concealer. The doe foot applicator makes it easy to pop it on my blemishes then blend with my brush quickly. Depending on  how you apply it, it can give a medium to very full effect. I have a lot of acne scarring. What I do is tap the concealer on the icky spot for maximum coverage. 

The best part of this concealer is it doesn't feel like concealer. It feels like nothing at all. 


But there was some sucky parts. It doesn't have a large color range. There are only 3 colors. I have light/medium and it's dark on me. (NC 20-25). It does have a tiny salmon tone, so try it under your eyes. Sometimes it works on me. It depends how much sleep I have been getting. If you have severe dark circles, it may not work for you. It also doesn't last. I would say within 2-3 hours I would get shiny. This is definitely something suited more for dry to normal skin tones. 

I know, it doesn't lasts and the color is wrong, so why do I love it? 

Because it looks so natural. When I wear this stuff it never looks like I'm caking stuff up to cover a pimple.

Wet N Wild Megalast in Purty Persimmon

Confession: I'm scared of bold lipsticks. 

I think attracts too much attention, but I don't mind it on other people. 

I know it's just me, so I'm trying to stretch my limits. 


I'm gotta tell you.. The packaging sucks. It feels cheap. It's all clear and black plastic. My biggest gripe is twisting the bullet up and down. It's a little tough to do so. It feels it'll break any time soon, but it's $3. What should I expect, right?




Wet and Wild Megalast in Purty Persimmon is a red orange matte lipstick. I bought Wet N Wild Megalast in Purty Persimmon because I heard it's a dupe for Mac Morange. I don't think this is an exact dupe. Morage is way more orange and brighter. I do like this lipstick more because it feels more wearable than Morange. I love matte anything. I never liked lipgloss. It may be a generational thing because my mom doesn't like them either. She says lipgloss looks like pork oil on my lips! Scarred for life. 




I didn't like the color when I first put it on. I was like WOAH! But it's growing on me. I think I can manage.. 


What do you think? 
Yay or nay?

Cover Girl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation

Oh man, was I pleasantly surprised!! 

This is a winner, girls! 


Honestly, I am not a fan of Covergirl. They don't bring a lot to the makeup table. I never been wowed with any of their products before. They are also a huge for animal testing. I'm sure I use makeup brands that also test on animals, but Covergirl is a big one. I just avoid them. But, everyone one is raving about this foundation. I have yet to hear a bad review.  So, I bit the bullet. 



This is everything I wanted Revlon Colorstay to be. I found Revlon Color stay too thick and oxidized on my skin. Covergirl Outlast 3 in 1 foundation is a thinner consistency that gives a matte medium to full coverage foundation. I'm having pimple issues this week. (boo), so along with this foundation I use Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage for that extra coverage. The best part of this stuff is that IT LASTS. I am really amazed. No foundation lasts on me!! Ever! That alone is a winner. I don't need to wear primer when I wear this foundation. Just with the foundation alone, this can lasts up to 6-8 hours before I get shiny.

I love mixing other products with this stuff. Lately, I mix Benefit High Beam with this foundation. It's great because I get best of both worlds. I get a dewey complexion with lasting power! 

If you are even slighting thinking about getting this foundation. Get it! 

You will not regret it. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Kate Mascara Base




This stuff is really love at first use. 

HG dude, HG. 

Sigh, I can only get it at Ebay. 

Kate is a Japanese drugstore makeup brand that branches off of Kanebo. It's impossible to find in the States! I have a few of their products and love them dearly. I treat them like they're my babies. 



Kate Mascara Base is one of their best products. I have stubby, dense, Asian lashes. Only Japanese mascaras can hold my curl. If I want to use any other types of mascara, I rely on this stuff. It's a simple white primer with some black fibers in them. White mascara primers have the tendency to not coat well with black mascara. It can leave white spots or a grey cast. Although this mascara base looks white, it has some translucency, so when you put on the black mascara it doesn't have that kind of effect. The only problem with this mascara is the fibers can sometimes poke your eye. You would have be watch where you are swiping. I do love the fibers though. It  makes my lashes look long. 



LOOK AT THAT LENGTH! 

And it stays that way all day. You gotta love this stuff.
