Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Skin-Transforming Powder Review & Swatches

Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Skin-Transforming Powder1

I picked up Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Skin-Transforming Powder is part of the new Maybelline Summer 2016 and I purchased it on a whim two weeks ago when I was at the Evil Empire (aka Walmart). It’s not really a powder formulated for my particular skin type but when you blog beauty you have this urge to try everything and report back to the world what how you felt about it.

Also, it comes in a rather cool compact. At first, I was pissed off because the label isn’t printed on and it peeled right off. But soon after, I was all, “Hey! Maybelline can go all Too Faced Totally Cute Palette and create stickers to decorate this palette with!” It’s actually pretty cool you can peel the label right off. I wonder if Maybelline did this intentionally? Once you peel it off you’ve left with a simple yet chic white compact. It’s up to you if you want to keep it white or decorate it some other way.

Yeah, I dunno why, but this thrilled me. It’s the little things, people!

Lush Ultrabland Facial Cleanser Is Anything But Bland

Lush Ultrabland

Lush Ultrabland Facial Cleanser ($29.95) is one of those cleansers that might remind you of your grandmother’s cold cream days. I’ve been using Ultrabland on and off for over ten years now. I used to be a major Lush Baby Face fan girl until it was discontinued. Ultrabland is the same idea just in a different format but it never quite caught on with me until I realized how good it was for my drier skin.

I actually always keep it stashed around and I use it on and off to remove my makeup. It’s one of those cleansers that’s great if you embrace the Korean double cleansing method. It’s also fabulous for drier skin types.

Here’s a look!

Pixi Lash Nourish Makeup Remover Pads Are Small In Size But Big on Removal!

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Pixi Lash Nourish Makeup Remover Pads

Pixi Lash Nourish Makeup Remover Pads ($10) launched with the Pixi Summer 2016 Collection and yet another fine addition to Pixi’s Skincare Collection. I’m always looking for budget friendly eye makeup removers. I adore Lancome Bi-Facil as much as the next girl but I hate paying $30 bucks for it. I know, I’ll spend $50 on lipstick but I carry on kicking and screaming about paying higher than $15 for eye makeup remover.

I have no idea where that mentality comes from.

But anyway, Pixi Lash Nourish Makeup Remover Pads are a mere $10 bucks and include 80 pads. Slight problem though, they are kind of small.

Maybelline Master Precise Curvy Liquid Liner Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Maybelline Master Precise Curvy Liquid Liner5

I picked up the Maybelline Master Precise Curvy Liquid Liner earlier last week with the some other goodies from the Maybelline Summer 2016 Collection. And I even managed not to poke an eye out while using it. Yeah, that’s been known to happen on more than one occasion. I’m such a n00b with liquid eye liner! I have not, after many years of hard work, mastered it. I’m just not good with application nor have I managed to gain access to the cat eye insider’s club. I have a theory that everyone who says “the flick” is easy to achieve is actually lying to me.

Naa, seriously, I envy those who can do awesome cat eye looks with liquid liners. Personally, I don’t think I have the skill nor the right eye shape for it.

Damn!

But, I decided to give Maybelline Master Precise Curvy Liquid Liner a try anyway!
