Benefit They're Real Mascara vs. Revlon Lash Fantasy

Woohoo! Hey guys, todays post is going to be a battle of the mascaras! I'm gonna be comparing 2 mascaras, one drugstore and one higher end, to see which one is better, does what it says, and is WORTH YOUR MONEY. Hope you guys enjoy! Love, lizzy

the WANDS:
Benefit they're real

 Revlon Lash Fantasy

I chose the revlon lash fantasy to go against they're real because the wands are very, very similar.

The only real big difference I felt with the wands are that the benefit wand is harder, and the lash fantasy is a lot for flexible when I'm applying, like its make of silicone. 

ONE COAT:

THEY'RE REAL: RIGHT EYE

LASH FANTASY: LEFT EYE

they're real is showing more volume, and a bit more length when eyes are open(but very close in length to the other one when closed)

Lash fantasy is showing about the same length as they're real. 

TWO COATS:

THEY'RE REAL: RIGHT EYE

LASH FANTASY: LEFT EYE

THEY'RE REAL: MORE VOLUME AND LENGTH

LASH FANTASY: LENGTH, BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO THEY'RE REAL

So the winner is... Benefit's they're real mascara! It showed a TON more volume and length by the second coat!

Batiste Dry Shampoo for Brunettes REVIEW!

Hello all, as promised in my March faves, I'm going to be doing a review of my batiste dry shampoo with brown color in it! (for brunettes). Hope you guys enjoy! -liz

So, since this was in a faves, I think yall know I like it, but there are a few cons, so lets get started!

Pros: 

Absorbs Oil

Leaves no white trace, as its colored brown

AMAZING

pretty cheap, around $8 for a brunette dry shampoo, which is a good price. 

overall does what its suppose to do

Cons: 

if you put too much in, there will be brown powder on your bathroom counter and on your fingers.

When shampooing it all out, the shampoo foam is brown from the color. 

Overall rate: 8.75/10

10/10 would buy again. 

I soooooo recommend this.

Review: Elf studio warm bronzer.

Hey guys, so its been a while since I'ver promised this in my feb faves, but I'm going to be reviewing my fave bronzer ever: the elf studio bronzer in warm. so enjoy- liz

In my feb 2014 faves I basically reviewed it in a little paragraph so I'll insert that here and do a pros and cons down below:

"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."

IVE HIT PAN

Pros: Cheap $3

it has 4 great colors that can be used separately, or all together as a great bronzer

great color for all skin tones

enough shimmer to make you glow

cons: the powder isn't packed in as tight as wanted, and a little brush tap can get it everywhere.

overall rate: 9/10

10/10 would buy again

10/10 recommend to yall
