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

This is not sponsored and I bought the nail polish with my own $. All opinions are my own.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer High Volume Lip Plumper... REVIEW

Hello everyone, today I'm going to be doing a review of the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer High Volume Lip Plumper. Hope you enjoy! Liz

The packaging: 

The box ^

The product ^

Details and such ^

A better pic :)

(screenshot from sephora.com, not my image)

My rate for the packaging is an 8/10. Its really beautiful and detailed, but for $32, I expect something a wee little more... luxury. 

The "before" lips:

before any gloss was applied. No products are on my lips

How my lips look while smiling.

The "after" lips:

Right when applied. Smiling.

Right when applied.

5-15mins after application. I personally see the most "plumping" in this picture. That plump look ^ lasted about 30 more mins. 

35 mins after application. This plump look ^ lasted about 15 mins

1 hr after application. The plump is like gone... :(

Plumping rate: 7.75/10

As you could see, my lips only looked fuller about 10 mins in, and it lasted 45 mins. For $32, i expect my lips to be plumper for longer! If you wanna be plump all day, you're going to have to reapply every hour or so. 

While I was wear the gloss, I could definitely feel CRAZY tingling. However, it was bearable, and somewhat enjoyable. Overall, I do think its okay but don't recommend it unless you have $32 lying around and want the plumping to last 45-50mins per application. 

overall: 7/10 stars.

APRIL 2014 FAVES

Hey guys, this moth I don't have any beauty faves, but I have 3 TV shows to share with you! Enjoy, Liz

1. THE MINDY PROJECT. I love this show. I've been watching it since it basically started (I started watching like 5 eps in the 1st season) Its a really great show and its not too late to start watching now! (they're only finishing the 2nd season now)

2. Survivor. This show is great. You don't have to watch every season to know what is happening. I'm watching this current season and its really good.

3. The Amazing Race. Similar to survivor, you don't need to watch every single season made to know what is happening. I'm watching this current season b/c Joey and Meghan were on it, and I'm hooked!
