FENTY BEAUTY by RIHANNA Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara

I felt nothing but excitement when I first opened the VoxBox from Influenster to reveal Fenty Beauty by Rihanna BRAND NEW Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara!

The packaging is exceptionally opulent with its solid feeling and rose gold sheen.

However this mascara is much, much more than its packaging with its cutting-edge brush design that transforms from FAT to FLAT with a simple twist of your fingers, each side providing exclusive benefits.

The FAT side of the brush allows you to dispense the majority of the product onto the lashes and pushes your lashes upwards. The FLAT side allows for complete definition and a curl that requires no other tools to achieve.

This duo brush might seem intimidating to some, but in reality it’s just a little turn of the wand to complete your lashes. Better yet, the brush paired with the formula provides a very clear separation of lashes with no clumping and notable length.

Don't mind the fluffy messy hair!

The formula is not waterproof, but is labeled as water-resistant. This mascara is also comfortable due to the fact it is unnoticeable wear and the only time I noticed any smearing was when I unfortunately shed a few tears, because as you all know life happens! *See GALLERY below for a picture of the cry session aftermath!* Most of the mascara that did smudge was the bottom lash line, but nothing I wasn’t able to easily fix.

Overall, I’m happy to move this mascara to the top of my favorites list and can’t wait to try out more from Fenty Beauty.

FENTY BEAUTY by RIHANNA Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara

Tarte Mystery Mixup Discovery Set

Tarte Tuesday! (Spoilers ahead!)

The Mystery Mixup Discovery Set from Tarte Cosmetics is a mystery 6 piece set that includes 3 full size products that equals to the value of $130 for only $54. The value of the palette almost covers the cost of mystery bag. I took a chance having purchased other mystery bags from Tarte before.

𝔽𝕦𝕝𝕝 𝕊𝕚𝕫𝕖
Clay Play Eye & Cheek Palette Vol. 2 $45
Color Splash Lipstick in the shade Colada $21
Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara $23
Remix Bag $10 / On Sale for $1 Today

𝕊𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖
Travel-Size Maneater Liquid Liner $12
Travel-Size Rainforest of the Sea Drink of H₂O Hydrating Boost $14

Total is added up to $125 with the Remix bag only being $10 so not exactly $130 as stated. The Makeup Bag is based on the Pro Remix Palette design, so I would have loved to see that in this mystery bundle. This bag is only worth a $1 right now on their site as of 12/17/19. I couldn’t find it by simply searching on their website so that’s a bit odd, but the link is provided below.

Purchase the bag here https://bit.ly/2YVWESG 

Is it worth it? Ehhhh It’s very basic set with neutral colors and the classics like their mascara and eyeliner sample. I’ve seen this before with Tarte’s mystery bags so I’m not too surprised. I think it’s a great deal if you want this palette or to build your collection. I don't have this in my collection so I don't mind too much.

It’s still available and I personally think it would make a great gift for the holidays for any Tarte/makeup newbies. Find it here https://bit.ly/38N26vN

Tarte Mystery Mixup Discovery Set

Influenster Champ VoxBox Two

Hello beauties! Today I have a surprise VoxBox from Influenster. This is the Mega Voxbox which I either won by participating in my most recent campaigns or for just being an active member on Influenster. I never formally received an email, but either way I am thankful and excited to share with you guys what I received! #influensterchamp

What's Inside

Nexxus Comb Thru Finishing Mist

Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara

Sour Punch Real Rainbow Straws

Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Illuminating Foaming Milk & Body Wash

Nexxus Comb Thru Finishing Mist

Nexxus Comb Thru Finishing Mist is perfect for those who hate weighted, crunchy and sticky hairsprays! I tend to avoid using a lot of hairsprays that are heavy since my hair is already pin-straight. When I curl it, I need it to last, and this mist is perfect for achieving natural loose curls. After my curls were created I gave it a quick mist and combed through to naturally loosen the curls while retaining the hold. Also, straight hair tip: Spray mist, let it set, then section out and start curling. This gives it an extra hold, but be sure to spray after you curl as well.

This left my hair feeling natural, moveable and light. The hold is not super strong, but works perfect for flyaways and natural loose curls. I tried out the #2 Medium, so if you’re looking stronger hold I would suggest #3 Strong Hold to get that extra lock-in control.

There is a noticeable, chemical-like perfume smell to the formula that is not enough to stop me from using it, but anyone sensitive to smells may be turned off by the product. As quick as the fragrance comes, it goes away and is barely noticeable on hair. Furthermore, the blush pink metallic can is beautiful touch to any counter. Overall, this is a lux, light hairspray that keeps your hair in place while leaving it soft and touchable.

Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara

Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama is one of the best drugstore mascaras I have tried to date! The formula lives up to its name and defines each lash with a thicc (yes with two c’s!) coat of product. It features top notch packaging with its metallic chrome finish and red to pink gradient. The “Push Up” lift is not only generated from its formula but the design of the wand. The wand itself is made with cup-shaped bristles that allow you to evenly coat and cradle lashes while pushing them up. I even tried this without using a lash curler and my lashes looked lifted.

The formula is smooth, buildable and long-lasting. This is a wet mascara formula, and even though my lashes are straight I did not find that this mascara weighted them down the least bit. In fact, they remained lifted all day, without reapplication and my eyes felt neither weighted nor brittle like I’ve experienced with other mascaras. I did receive the “washable mascara,” meaning it’s not waterproof and can easily be removed. Overall, the mascara delivers instant results of longer, volumized lashes without the clumpy (spidery) look. If you’re looking for a quality inexpensive mascara with outstanding drama, I would highly recommend you try it!

Sour Punch Real Rainbow Straws

Sour Punch Real Rainbow Straws are soft, chewable gummi straws with the right amount of sourness and sugary taste. Candy lovers like my boyfriend won’t be able to wait to devour these. I on the other hand don’t gravitate to sour treats, but even I can admit they were pretty tasty. Flavors include strawberry, lemon, green apple and tangerine, each of which is easily identifiable and made with natural ingredients. On the scale of sourness, I would say they’re greater than Sour Patch Kids and less than Warheads. Further, these contain no high fructose corn syrup, are low-fat and sodium. They are not vegan though, since as usual with gummi candies, it’s made with glycerin (glycerol) consisting of animal fat and vegetable oil. Overall, these straws are a tasty treat that sour lovers and adventurous snackers will enjoy!

Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Illuminating Foaming Milk & Body Wash

Take your body on vacation with an amazingly scented body wash from Shea Moisture. The Coconut & Hibiscus Illuminating Foaming Milk is designed to vitalize dull skin, restoring hydration and elasticity in one’s skin. The milky, creamy texture lathers nicely into skin, giving you the soft cleanse your body needs while filling your shower with exotic fruit aromas that take you away. Whether you use it as a lather or a bubbly bath, it gives you a peaceful experience that allows you to relax and unwind.

Conveniently displayed on the bottle are all of the benefits of it’s ingredients, such as Coconut Oil that helps to nourish and firm skin, Hibiscus Flower that improves and illuminates skin tone, and Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, just to name a few. Shea Moisture creates natural, organic and sustainably-produced products that contain no parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, or sulfates and is cruelty-free.

When it comes to the name Brightening or Illuminating, I believe them to be the same product, but they may just be changing the product name. I reached out to Shea Moisture, so if I get any answers I’ll post an update. As of right now, it looks like they are selling it labeled as Brightening Foaming Milk & Body Wash.

Influenster Champ VoxBox Two

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.

New Almay One Coat Mega Volume Mascara

La Petite Kurious Long Lasting Eyebrow Tattoo

Hello! 

Getting more and more into Korean Beauty and all that it has to offer so today I am reviewing the Kurious La Petite Long Lasting Eyebrow Tattoo. I chose the shade Light Brown, which I thought was going to be the safest for me to try for my first time. Since I wasn’t sure how pigmented the formula would be I avoided the shade Dark Brown, but next time I will invest in that color.

There are some definite advantages and improvements to this product over others. First, the color payoff would be great if my brows were more of a lighter brown. I like to think of it as henna for your eyebrows. My eyebrows are naturally a little sparse so I am able to fill in the shape with just the pen or using the provided stencil to achieve a defined brow. I do find the pen to be a little bit too big, or “chunky,” to make finer lines. I also wish it delivered more consistency with every swipe.

Opposite the pen is a brow mascara in the same tint, meant to extend the wear of your brow tattoo. The mascara is a completely different product in my eyes and completely changes the hue of my eye brows to a lighter yellowy-brown. It’s really not easy to use, as opposed to the pen side which is subtler and simple like a marker. Even if this was the right color, I feel like this end of the product is totally useless because the consistency is way too clumpy to apply without making my eyebrows look like a mess.

Overall, I love using the pen tattoo as a base with my other brow products, but since the color is too light and yellow, I cannot use on its own. It is directed that you apply at night as to let the pigmentation adhere overnight (or at least 6 hours), after which I know it lasts at least for a day, and still comes off fairly easily with a makeup wipe.

So here's a quick run down...

Pros:
Lasts a long time
Pigmented
Appealing packaging
Fills brows in nicely

Cons:
Marker tip is bending
Uneven distribution of formula
Brow Mascara has too much product and is clumpy
The (Light Brown) color is a bit yellow and an awkward color
Can’t be used just on its own
