Its quite easy to clean up your makeup. All you need is a dry napkin and makeup removing wipes. Wipe down the dirty surface and dry it off with the dry napkin.

Review: Herbal Essences Drama Clean Shampoo

Hey guys! Today I'm going to be reviewing the herbal essences drama clean shampoo. It comes in a green bottle and the product itself is a clear green gel.

When I got it at target there was like an extra green plastic wrapper (shown below)

Pros: It does clean well

Smells good- citric

Foams well

Cons: the extra plastic wrap was a waste of plastic

Kinda an average herbal essences, just like the other shampoos

Other than that, I do recommend it if you want a good clean: 3.5/5 stars

Hello everyone, so this month;s fave is a bronzer I've had for about 1 year now, and I FINALLY HIT PAN ON IT!
Its My FAVE bronzer in my collection, so I decided to share it with you guys today! Enjoy, Liz (and I will review this!)

This bronzer is the elf studio bronzer in warm. The only thing I dont like about this is that its a little shimmery, thus having a bit of an unnatural look and contour, but it does give you a great warm glow if you are using this to warm up your skin tone.

As you can see there are 4 colors in this bronzer. The bottom left one is the lightest, and you can use it alone as a highlight. the top right one is a bit dark/peachy, and you can use it as a blush. The other 2 colors are bronzing colors, used alone or mixed. You can mix all the colors together, and get a really great bronzing color that looks SO natural all together. This bronzer "palate" is really versatile and I LOVE IT.
