E.L.F Mascara

Apart from lip stuff, I also love mascara. I wear it every day, and kind of feel like I’m naked without it ;) So I decided to give this mascara, from E.L.F (Eyes, Lips, Face) in black, a go, since it’s pretty cheap. It comes with two mascaras in one – One end is water proof, and the other is regular. I mainly use the regular one, and found that it’s pretty long-lasting, and comes off easily with some water.

There’s no smell, and it doesn’t irritate my eyes. It stays on, and doesn’t smudge either. 

I like how it comes with two mascaras, so you can choose from regular or waterproof, and it’s great daytime mascara for me.

Niyama Lip Glaze

I bought two of these lip glazes – One in Rosebud (On the left in the pic) and the other in Naturally Nude. The Rosebud one looks like a deep red in the tube, but goes on quite sheer. It contains cocoa butter, so there’s a subtle scent of cocoa butter, nothing too strong. The colour is sheer, and pretty. It doesn’t look or feel like lip gloss, but more like a tinted lip balm. It’s not bad, but the colour could be deeper. 

The Naturally Nude has no colour, and feels a bit thin on my lips, as though I need to apply more of it. I like my lip balms to be thicker on my lips.

The packaging is adorable, I really like the look of it. I don’t know if I’d repurchase since I didn’t really like the Naturally Nude one, but I’d consider buying the Rosebud one again.

Crazy Rumors Lip Balms

Crazy Rumors is a lip balm, and their lip balms are natural and vegan, which I love. I’ve tried two lip balms from Crazy Rumors: Peppermint Twist, and Cola (Which is pictured here). I love the scents these lip balms come in! The Cola one smells like those candy cola bottles you can get, and the Peppermint one smells just like the name: Peppermint! The lip balms themselves are very moisturising, and they glide easily across my lips. I love the packaging, the whole retro feel of the tube is very cool. I'd definitely buy them again.

Pixi Rose Lip Treat

I bought this cute lip tint in Lip Petal, from Pixi, a company I haven’t tried before. In the picture I’ve posted, it looks like a peach colour, but on my lips, it’s a sheer pink shade. It feels moisturising on my lips, and I like how it’s a sheer colour, meaning I can put it on without using a mirror if needs be. I really like the tube it comes in – I think the rose pattern on it is very sweet (I'm a sucker for pretty packaging!). To me, there is no scent to it.

I’ll definitely be repurchasing this one!

Burt’s Bees Radiance Day Cream with 15 SPF

(Sorry I haven’t been posting lately – I’ve been sick :( )

I have been wanting a good day cream with sun screen that is a little more natural that some of the ones out there. I gave this Burt’s Bees one a go, and it’s not bad. It comes in a pretty bottle, which looks nice on the vanity. The cream itself feels nice on the skin, not too heavy, but still moisturising enough for me. It does have a whitish tint, but since I wear foundation/tinted moisturiser on top, this isn’t a problem for me. The only thing about this cream I don’t like is the smells. It’s not an unpleasant smell, but it tends to linger for awhile after you put it on, and I’m not overly keen on that. However, since it does have sunscreen, I will keep on using, but I might try some other day creams with sunscreen and compare.
