Five 5 Fave: Beauty

Todays post is just some of my latest favorite products. And this time around they're all really affordable. This is all makeup products but i will be doing some fashion and hair ones.

This ELF eyeshadow palette is perfect for summer. It prettymuh has every color you could ever need. Although some of the colors arent that greatly pigmented it is definitely still a great value. I also like to use them over a colored base for the best color payoff and wear. Available at  Target and www.eyeslipsface.com for only $10.



Rimmel London is one of my favorite brands when it comes to drugstore mascaras. And I have a new favorite thanks to them. This is the Extra Super Lash masscara. I feel that this is one of the few mascaras that you can keep layering without flaking, lashes sticking, or clumps. The best part about it is that it only cost $2.99 or you can get a 2 pack for a little over $4! For that low price its worth trying... p.s. make sure to get the straight brush. Available at drugstores, Target, and Walmart.

Thanks to my family I have been cursed with DARK CIRCLES! But thanks to Hard Candy i can hide them.  This concealer is super creamy and a little bit goes a long way. It is made for covering tattoos and is very similar to the Kat Von D concealer but even easier to apply and for a fraction of the cost. You can pick this baby up at Walmart for $8.

Im always on the hunt for a good nude lipstick that doesnt wash me out... therefore i have a big collection. I have found several that i love and swear by but this one is the most flatter for all skintones. It is also the best nude for tan skin. Oh did i mention its Covergirl lipstick in Delish lol. You can pick it up at most drugstores for around $7. 

The last thing is Essie's nail polish in "Turquoise & Caicos". It is my #1 favorite nail color. Whenever i wear it i get non stop compliments. This is also the only nail polish that ive gone through(almost) so i had to make sure to buy a backup. You can pick it up at salons, drugstores, and online for $8.

Beauty Beatdown

This is going to be something new im doing. I will be taking two very similar products and comparing them. Im comparing price point, how well it works, and accessibility. Sort of like two reviews in one. I know more than once i have purchased the same product over and over again trying to find which is better so hopefully this is helpful. Now getting to the products...

Lately ive been super lazy with my makeup and have only been doing the essential (foundation, blush, eyeliner, and mascara).  And to be even lazier ive been usinf felt tip/marker style eyeliners. It last longer than pencil, you make less mistakes than with liquid, and u dont need to find a brush like you for gel. Well thanks to my laziness ive been obsessed with these eyeliners. Ive been using the "Kiss" brand and the "Wet N Wild" brand but decided those weren't precise enough. So yesterday i picked up the "Eyetech Liquid Eyeliner" by Milani and the "Water Proof Eyeliner" by E.L.F.

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!

Size Does Matter

Milani: 0.015oz

ELF: 0.06oz

How Many Rounds Will It Go

Milani: It last a generally long time. Just don't rub your eyes too much. Its also not waterproof.

ELF: It last a generally long time. It is more resistant to rubbing. It claims to be waterproof but its more like water resistant. I definitely wouldn't go swimming with it.

Easy Does It... Application

Milani: Just shake and apply. Smooth and precise application. No tugging.

ELF: Literally like using a marker. Good pigmentation. Just a bit less precise then the Milani eyeliner unless u have a very steady hand.

Breaking The Bank

Milani: $6-$8

ELF: $1

Availability

Milani: Most  Drugstores

ELF: Target, Meijer, and www.eyeslipsface.com

The Winner Is...

 E.L.F Waterproof Eyeliner Pen

Overall its pretty much the exact same product as the Milani eyeliner but you get 4 times the product for a fraction of the price. Plus it comes in several colors. Knock Out lol
