New Almay One Coat Mega Volume Mascara




Hello Cuppy Cakes, 



I will be reviewing the New Almay One Coat Mega Volume Mascara. I am honestly impressed with the results and the formula. I have to admit that I had a go-to mascara that had me convinced that there is no other ones out there for me, but after trying Almay’s megaphone wand, it’s a definite contender.

There are two unique features that I have grown to love over the past couple weeks, the first being the formula. Almay is known to have hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formulas, and for me it’s perfect since my eyes are super-sensitive to a lot of products. I found with continued use that my eyes didn’t get irritated or red, even after getting some into my eyes. If you are an allergy sufferer or contact wearer I would recommend Almay. 

You do not need to reapply, and like it says, one coat is perfect for a day’s look. I haven’t had any issues with the mascara running other than if I shed a tear or two. This specific formula isn’t waterproof, but they do have that option if you are looking for it. As for sweating and working long days, the mascara has stayed on and wasn’t clumpy upon application. Although I say it isn't clumpy, there is a chance if you let it dry and apply more that your lashes will start to stick together. 


The second unique feature (and a pretty obvious one) is the megaphone brush. It actually works wonders getting into those tiny areas. Unlike other applicators, I am able to maneuver the brush to get every hair without stabbing my eye or smearing the product. The diversity of application makes an impact, proving how effective this mascara really is. Overall my lashes look noticeably longer and fuller, and I am able to reach every angle of my lashes and give them the space that they need to shine! 




I like to use my opposite hand to get the outer edges with the wand.






Thank you Crowdtap

Almay Healthy Glow + Self Tan


Hello Cuppies!

For the past couple of weeks I have been using only Almay Healthy Glow + Self Tan foundation (Light 100) to give it a good go. I am very surprised by this foundation, considering that it has a self-tanning element that I normally wouldn't use. The bit of glow is appealing since I avoid tanning to keep my skin healthy.



I will say after using the foundation for more than seven consecutive days, I noticed a slight change in the hue of my skin. Without makeup, my skin is left looking more flush and reduces the appearance of red spots.


The pump with the two dispensers I found to be pretty self-explanatory although they do provide instructions on the back of the bottle. It was easy to use after giving several pumps to move the product up and out. I haven't had any issues with one not dispensing. I personally like to rub the product together on my fingertips, but I have mixed right on my face and it works just as effective.


As part of the mission I was suppose to create a collage from PicMonkey.com to show the progression of the foundation and it's subtle tan. Although my pictures taken in my bathroom already have a warm hue you can notice the difference.

(1. No makeup before use of  Healthy Glow  2. After 7 days while using the foundation 3. No makeup after using Healthy glow for more than 7 days)

The best part of this foundation is the coverage you get without any streaking or cakey-ness. A little bit of the foundation goes a long way. I think this foundation could stand out on its own, so it is a little bonus with the self-tanner included. A big thanks to Crowdtap for being able to try this out for my honest review.
