Loreal Brow Stylist Plumper Review

Hello lovelies, today I bring for you another review. I have been using the Maybelline clear mascara as a brow gel for a while now, but I realized that it just wasn't doing the trick for me. The tail ends of my brows grow long pretty fast and so I need something strong to tame them. I can't justify spending $20 on the Anastasia brow gel, especially since I don't know if it will work. I have been noticing a few of the youtubers I watch using the Loreal Brow Stylist Plumper, so I finally got my hands on it.

At first I was excited to get this because I thought it would be able to be a quick fix to fill in my brows when I don't feel like actually filling them in. This was not the case. I have it in medium dark, so the color isn't the issue. However, when I used it on it's own I had to use so much of it that I felt it on my skin. That is an issue I have noticed while I am using it. It makes my eyebrows crunchy if I wear too much of it and if I try to brush through it after it has dried it flakes off. You know the way a dry mascara does? At the same time though, my eyebrows do not move whatsoever while I am wearing this. 

I have heard mixed reviews about this product, and after using it for over a month I can see why. I feel like once I finish it I won't want to buy it, but at the drugstore there aren't that many options for tinted brow gels that can actually hold the eyebrow hairs in place. There is a new Rimmel one that I want to try out but I haven't seen it at any of the stores I have gone to lately.

Pros - Gives a decent tint to the brows, holds hairs in place, small enough wand that I don't make too much of a mess.

Cons - If you put too much on it will give you incredibly crunchy, stiff brows. If you put too much it will also flake off.

At the end of the day, if it is on sale and I can't find anything else I will buy it again, but I guess my search will just have to keep going on for a good eyebrow gel at the drugstore. If you have any suggestions let me know!

Finish 13 by Halloween Finale

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Today, I bring you all my final update for my Finish 13 by Halloween Project Pan. 

First are the products that I finished:

I don't remember the order I finished these, but you can go look back on the first 2 updates that I did. I have the blush and bronzer from the Blushed/Bronzed contour duo which I wanted to hit pan on each and did that. I think once I finish this blush I will just toss it, the bronzer is splotchy and keeps getting hard pan. Mac Mineralized Skin Finish Natural is a great powder that I will definitely be repurchasing now that I have finished this one. The Yaby Natural Finish liquid foundation took a lot longer to finish than I thought. It looks like there is some in the but nothing was coming out anymore. It was alright, I won't go trying to find it though. I never felt that it wore well on my skin. I finished the half of the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded. I didn't think I could do it honestly. It really helped when I brought it back to life with a spritz of elf Mist and Set. Almay Liquid Lipbalm was another one that took longer to finish than I thought. I took out the stopper and got ever drop that I could get out of there. It was nice, but I don't think that I would repurchase this again. Last are the 2 Maybelline Babylips in Cherry Me and Twinkle. These were pretty simple to get through, but like I mentioned before, I just want all of these out of my collection and I won't be repurchasing. They are just not as moisturizing as I would like. 

Now onto the products that I didn't finish:

So I have the Garnier BB Cream that I really thought I would finish. However, towards the end it just got way to dark for my skin and so I started mixing it with my Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation for my next project. This is nearly empty so I am going to toss it because it is really old and it has been doing some funny things on my skin. By the time I get to wear it again on it's own it will be over 3 years old and since it has spf in it, I just don't feel comfortable holding onto it any longer. I did use a really large amount of it though. The pixi flawless beauty primer...I haven't used it since the last update. I actually put it away because I knew that there was no way that I would be able to use it all up and so i just gave up. I will use it form time to time just because I like the finish it gives my foundation when this is used underneath. I didn't want to just get through it because I enjoy using it and didn't want it to just go to waste because I am trying to finish it. The Rimmel Scandaleyes in Black is the next product that wasn't even close to being finished. I did put this on the back burner after the last update as well. I just don't feel like this preforms as well as my nude one. It always transferred to my waterline when I used it as a tightliner. Also it smudged underneath my eyes. It is the only one in the line that does that though, the rest are all really great. The Salon Perfect eyebrow pencil in taupe had steady progress over the last 2 months. Some days I really liked the way my brows looked with this, and others they looked far too heavy. That is obviously just user error though. Last is the Mac Studio Finish concealer. I made amazing progress on this since the beginning of the project. It is now too dark for my skintone and so I will be putting it on the side, but I liked using it. I won't repurchase though because I did feel like it was too heavy for underneath my eyes, but on the otherhand it is really good at covering my dark circles. I think once I finish it completely I will have to see what other concealers I have. I might get it but in a darker color. I don't know...let me know what you guys think of this concealer. 

So there you have it. I finished 8/13 products that were in this project, technically 9 if you consider the fact that I am tossing the BBCream. I am really happy with that since my goal was to finish 7! I was really happy with the fact that I won't be repurchasing a lot of these products since that means that I will have fun trying to find new things instead to fall in love with. Life is too short to hoard makeup that you just don't love! 

Have a safe and Happy Halloween everyone!!
