Hard Candy Fierce Effects Daring Lipgloss

Hard Candy Fierce Effects Daring Lipgloss ($5) is a new argan oil infused lipgloss that Hard Candy introduced with their Spring/Summer 2015 offerings in 12 shade selections. Yeah, I know, more argan oil infused makeup products but let me tell you I love this formula! It has quirks and it’s far from perfect but I really love how it feels on my dry, tired lips.

Check it out!

Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara Review

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.

Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara4

Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara ($4.99) is an affordable, budget friendly mascara that recently launched with the Essence Spring/Summer 2015 Makeup Collection. Dontcha just love cheap mascara? It’s a product we often have to throw out before fully using it so paying dirt cheap for it is always the way to go but problem…

I always find I’m never truly satisfied with drugstore mascara.

If you do a a splurge and save post one of the first topics that people will say they don’t splurge on is in fact mascara. However, I’m always of the mentality I want to spend a little more for my formulas because I do find a $20 buck mascara tends to work better for me than one I’d purchased at the drugstore for less. Which leads me on a merry rant about how very, very expensive mascara has gotten at the drugstore. Seriously, if I’m going to pay L’Oreal $11.99 for the latest Voluminous formula I might as well just give my money to some mid-range brand that performs way better!

None the less, sometimes the makeup gods smile down upon our heads and gift us with under $5 buck mascara like Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara!

Ugh no.

Sharing makeup so not a good idea.

Honestly, I’m a little different when it comes to makeup sharing I guess because it was never a thing for me.
