They're Real! vs. Bad Gal lash Ft. Benefit

Hey guys! So I know for a long time I've been saying that I would be back with a new post and blah blah blah and I know that I lied but I am now! I'm finally on winter break and I have a ton of time to put together some new posts for you guys. I know that I said a while ago that I would do this one but now I finally have it, and also I have my own laptop now so that makes everything so much easier so I don't have to use my parents computer. Although I would like to say that I'm sorry for the quality of the photos, because I have been using my iPhone to take them. I think (hopefully) I will be getting a camera for christmas so that will be so helpful! Okay! Without further ado! A POST!!!

So this is the two together, as you can tell I only have the
mini versions but Bad Gal cost $9 and They're Real! cost
$10 so they're around the same size and the same price. I actually
prefer the packaging to the Bad Gal because its sleeker and I like
the black rather than the slate gray.

Here is the brush for the They're Real! and I prefer this to the
Bad Gal. This is a plastic one while the Bad Gal is the bristle
type. I find that this can get each lash better and closer to the
roots. I really love They're Real because it really does give you that
false lash effect and it doesn't clump at all. It's very buildable so
you can have very natural lashes to super false looking lashes
but it will never clump.

This is the brush to Bad Gal. I don't like this one as much.
It's a lighter mascara, and I feel like it gives you almost no length
I like using this one as a base just the give a light coat before
I use They're Real. This one didn't give me any length, curl, or lift
all it did was darken my lashes, while with the They're Real! I saw  tons
of curl and especially lengthening and a little lift, but I think that with
everything other you can totally justify They're Real

A drugstore dupe that I found for They're Real was
the Revlon PhotoReady 3D volume mascara. The only difference
that I really saw was that this one clumped a little, but what can you
expect from a drugstore dupe thats almost a quarter of the price
of the real thing? Plus, you can just brush your lashes out so it's
not such a big deal.

Here's the brush, and as you can see its pretty similiar, with the plastic bristles that I love.
It's pretty close to the same but the brush is skinnier and the bristles are also skinnier so
it's harder for them to grip to your lashes, but with an extra coat you can get the same
effect as They're Real!

Fall Trend Alert: Plum Lips

Hey Guys! Sorry for the lack of posts this week! Between school and soccer, I find that I don't have any time to get together a post for you guys! I can't even begin to think about next week when I have 5 soccer games! Anyways, my weekend is pretty free so I'm going to be getting a few posts up! Here's the first:

Because of my skin tone, I just discovered that I love the look of plum lipstick on me. I have never tried anything this dark, but I always found that light lip colors made me look dead and washed out :( I was jealous of all the beauty gurus that could pull off all those gorgeous lip colors that I couldn't! But, the other day I was at a friends house and I tried one of her plum lipsticks and I immediately fell in love! This was perfect! I found a color that looked good on me and it was perfect for the fall time! I immediately went to the store and picked up two plum colors. The third was one that had been lying around in my house. I think the reason why plums are so great for fall is because were just getting into the darker months, and wear lip colors that portray that is what it's all about.I guess fall will have to be my favorite season now that my favorite lip color is worn for it! Now here are the pictures!

Here's the first one! This one's a Revlon Lip Butter

Here's what it looks like in the packaging

I really like the look of these because they're like lip glosses but also like a lipstick and they're super moisturizing

I like this one because it's like my lips but better and is very subtle.

The color is Sugar Plum

Burt's Bees

Plum

This one is a tad darker and is has a minty feeling on your lips

... and the swatch!

MAC lipstick!

Super used up, but the name wore off so I don't know it! Sorry!

Very dramatic and dark! Would be so nice for a party!

So pretty!

Review: Revlon Photoready Cream Blushes

Hey everyone! Today I have another review for you! These are the Revlon Photoready cream blushes. So, these come in three colors: Pinched, Flushed, and Coral Reef, and I managed to snag all three of them! These run from about $10-$13. I picked one up at Rite Aid, with a buy one get one 50% off coupon, and then I grabbed the other two on sale for about $5, so not a bad deal at all. I love these blushes. They are sooo pigmented, and whats great about them, is you can build them up from a sheer finish, to a dramatic one, depending on what you like. The staying power is great, and I usually like to set these with my ELF blushes. To apply these I just create three dots of product along my cheekbones, and then blend. If I feel like the coverage is too light, I just add another layer. It's that easy! These blushes are my everyday go to blushes, and with just these three, you'll have one for every look. Even though they are a bit expensive for a drugstore product, a little goes a long way, and these are the only blushes that you'll need.

Coral Reef- Bright orange coral color, blends to a sheer coral, can be built up to almost a florescent orange
Pinched- Light peachy color, very natural looking. Perfect for a no makeup-makeup look. Can be built up to be just the tiniest bit dramatic
Flushed- Hot pink color, goes on very pink, use a light hand, unless your going for a doll-like look. Still really love the product.
