This is my first time doing a beauty review, so bear with me. I typically throw out all my empties, but these reviews have allowed me to keep them long enough to write reviews, take pictures, and THEN throw them out. Anyway, here are my picks for this month. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have, and will continue to!!
OGX Tsubaki Blossom Shampoo & Conditioner
This is one of my absolute favorite shampoo and conditioner I've ever tried. I mean, the price is $8.99 ea., so you definitely pay for it compared to Suave or whatever else is cheaper. But to me, it is honestly SO worth it. It leaves your hair smelling fabulous and feeling super soft! Plus, a little of this stuff goes a long way, and that goes for both the shampoo and conditioner. All you need is a dime to quarter sized bit of shampoo and even less conditioner and you are good to go with all the suds you could possibly want. So would I recommend this? HELL YES I WOULD. And if I had the money, and didn't have 3 different shampoos and conditioners just sitting in my closet waiting to be used, I'd go out and buy it again tomorrow.. But for now, I must use what else I have. For those would would like to purchase it or find it, I purchased mine at Target, but you can also look on the OGX website as they have both for sale there!
BADgal Lash by Benefit
I don't usually spend big bucks on make-up. I usually refuse, mostly cause I have a huge deficit when it comes to make-up knowledge and I refuse to spend money on things I don't know how to use. But my mom had a sample of this from a birthday gift she got from ULTA at one point, she thought I would really like it, so she recommended that I buy it. Which I obviously did, and I, in turn, loved it as well! It advertises as "volumizing" which it does, but it isn't so over-exaggerated. It makes your lashes look amazing. This product may be $19, but one tube can go a long way. And you don't need a lot of mascara with this tube to get the lashes you want, so it will last you a long time. So if you have the money, definitely invest in this stuff!!
NYX Cosmetics: Super Skinny Eye Marker (Shade: Carbon Black)
Best "liquid" eye liner I've ever used, EVER. While most flake off, and for that matter, need to be painted on. This liner doesnt, this liner goes on just like a marker to be honest. And it comes off like a marker as well... But a permanent one, you do need a make-up wipe to take this off, and there are only rare occasions where it will come off sooner than that. I'm not saying wipe your eyes with reckless abandon, but you know what I mean. The only real issue I have with this product is that you cannot, and I mean CANNOT put it on OVER your eyeshadow. You need to put this on first, and eyeshadow on second (if I do this backwards, of well, I previously said I don't know what the fuck I'm doing so...). If you decide to go against that advice, then you will have a dried out eye marker in a matter of days. So in short, this is a great product, and at $9.99, you really can't beat it. So invest in the best when it comes to eye markers!
EOS Lip Balm
I'm a huge lip balm/chapstick fan! This is one of my personal, all time favorites. The shape is unique and the scents.flavors are awesome and have a great variety. My favorites are the Strawberry, Blueberry, Honeysuckle Honeydew and the Passion Fruit! If you haven't given them a try yet, you definitely should! And if you have a problem LOSING YOUR LIP BALM before you even finish them, definitely invest, because with their round shape, you'll have a hard time losing them. Take it from me, I have like 40 of them, just because I keep buying them.
Maybelline NY The Colossal Volum Express: Cat Eyes
This is my absolute favorite mascara that you can buy in any old drugstore/pharmacy/grocery store make-up section. It has a curved brush which has to be my favorite part. It gets right under the curves of your lashes while volumizing and keeping lashes looking natural. It gets around the lashes one by one and keeps them from clumping together. This rules over any other mascara (including the one I just reviewed) I've ever used. And I've bought this four different times (currently using a product from a BeautyBox though). I rate this a total 5 star product!
