Beauty Brawl '17: Face Mask

Welcome to day six of the Beauty Brawl!! This was the day I was looking forward to the most because I finally got to buy a mask I've been wanting to try for a while. I was planning on getting it before my brothers wedding so I was happy to have an excuse to buy it a couple of months early. It is the Elizavecca Milkypiggy Hell-Pore Clean Up Mask.

• Product - 95
• Packaging - 100
• Price - 100

This mask lifts away dull tired skin and helps remove dirt and oil which causes blackheads. I've been wanting to try this mask for a while and when I saw Tati's review I kind of reconsidered because it looked so painful. The first time I used it I only put it on my nose and a little bit on my forehead and honestly it didn't hurt at all. And when I removed it I could see some blackheads and my skin felt really soft. Don't get it expecting it to remove every blackhead it won't but it will help prevent them.

The packaging is adorable! I love the cartoon blackheads trying to run away. A part of me definitely wanted it just because of the packaging. You will probably want to save the box because all of the instructions on the tube are in Korean. It's currently $10.43 on Amazon and you get a decent amount of product.

Beauty Brawl '17: Nail Polish

Welcome to day five of the Beauty Brawl! Today is one of my favorite days because we are talking about nail polish! I chose Essie in Color Binge. We are halfway through the Beauty Brawl and I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.

• Product - 95
• Packaging - 95
• Price - 95 

Color Binge is a beautiful orange red. It applies nicely and it's opaque. It is the perfect summer color when you have a tan. I really like Essie packaging the only thing I don't love is the brush. It's a bit small I prefer OPI's. I can't wait to work on my tan so I can use it this summer.

Essie polishes are usually $8.50 but I managed to get this polish at Ulta on Clearance for about $4. That is how I buy most of my nail polishes. I actually bought some more yesterday so the nail polish addiction is very real!

Beauty Brawl '17: Makeup Remover

Welcome to day four of the Beauty Brawl! Tomorrow we will be halfway through the brawl which seems really crazy. Today we are reviewing makeup removers and I chose the Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water.

• Product - 75
• Packaging - 85
• Price - 75

The first time I used it it didn't seem to work as well as I had hoped but once I soaked my cotton pad it worked a lot better. I just don't LOVE it. I think I will always prefer the Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser because of how budget friendly it is. This micellar water is $28 for 6.7 fl. oz. which is a decent amount of product but I think $28 for a micellar water is ridiculous. 

I do like the packaging. It looks like something you would find at a spa. It kind of feels like NARS packaging.

Beauty Brawl '17: Eyeliner

Welcome to day three of the Beauty Brawl! Today we are reviewing eyeliners. I chose ColourPop in Best O.

• Product - 80
• Packaging - 95
• Price - 85

Best O is a beautiful deep burgundy. It is perfect for a smoky eye or adding some subtle color to a neutral look. The only disappointing thing about it is the formula is a bit dry. I have swerve and it goes on really smooth and pigmented whereas Best O is kind of dry and slightly patchy. I will definitely still use it I like it on my lower lash line. 

ColourPop packaging isn't fancy but every time I see it I get super excited. I love the silver logo and that they show the color of the liner on the bottom. ColourPop is known for being budget friendly but I don't know if I would pay $5 for this eyeliner if it wasn't just a bad batch. The creme gel colour is a dollar more and has better reviews so I would like to try it.

Beauty Brawl '17: Brow Product

Today is day two of the Beauty Brawl and we are reviewing brow products. I chose the J. Cat Beauty Perfect Duo Brow Pencil in Dark Brown. I got this product in one of my Ipsy bags but I haven't used it for a while so I thought I would try it again.

• Product - 80
• Packaging - 80
• Price - 100

It is a buildable formula and fairly easy to fill in quickly. It doesn't take much to create a dramatic brow. I did get a little crazy the first time I used it so just remember to go in with a light hand. Dark Brown is also too dark for me right now with my natural hair color. Once I go darker for the wedding it will be perfect. Auburn would probably be a better color for me right now.

The packaging kind of reminds me of Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer it just has a different tip. The price is great it's only $3.99 so it's perfect if you're on a budget. I know they sell it in stores but I've never found this brand in my area.

Beauty Brawl '17: Liquid Lipstick

Welcome to day one of the Bloggers Summer Beauty Brawl! Today we are reviewing liquid lipsticks and I chose Caked Makeup's Lip Fondant in Low Key. I received it in my May Ipsy bag and I was really excited to try it!  

• Product - 90
• Packaging - 90
• Price - 85

First of all the color is beautiful! They describe it as: The most beautiful dusty, muted terracotta that pulls either pink or red, depending on your natural lip color. It has a very moussey texture and dries matte. Like all liquid lipsticks make sure you exfoliate and moisturize your lips. You only need to apply a thin coat. When I don't apply a thin coat it feels very tacky. Today I am wearing it and it feels really nice on my lips and it is completely transfer proof! The only disappointing thing is they say it smells like cake batter but I thought it smelled like sunscreen.

The packaging is adorable! I love the sprinkles. It is $16 for .24 fl. oz. and I compared it to a Tarte liquid lipstick which is $20 for .20. I gave it a score of 85 because you have to buy it online so you obviously have to pay shipping and I think there are decent budget friendly options.
