Empties - Peter Thomas Roth Minis

 

Good  morning everyone!

It's a beautiful day! At least where I am and then rain all week next week so I plan on soaking up the sunshine while I can.

A ways back I had some Sephora points to spend so I picked up a set of mini skincare products from Peter Thomas Roth. I really didn't know much about the brand but was curious to find out more about them. I did a review on their Anti Aging cleanser which you can read here.

That was a part of this set as well but I decided to bundle up the rest as one review as I've used them all up now!

Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer: I wish I hated this because the full size runs about $65 CAD. This is one of the most incredibly hydrating moisturizers I've ever used. It feels cool as you rub it into the skin which soaks it up leaving no sticky residue behind. I only wish the sample size had been a tad bigger!

Hungarian Thermal Water: I didn't exactly understand what this product was supposed to be so I read up on it and apparently it's supposed to be a moisturizer? I didn't experience any hydration when using this nor did I notice any differences in my skin at all. It heats up as you rub it into the skin which is an odd sensation that I personally didn't care for. Maybe the sample size was too small to create a noticeable difference? But I can't see myself buying the full size even to test it out some more.

FirmX Peeling Gel: I liked this, the particles were rough enough that I actually felt as though the scrub was removing the dead, dry skin. Once you wash it all off your face is left feeling incredibly smooth. Due to the harshness of this however I would recommend using only 2-3 times a week.

I enjoyed three out of the four products in the set and am interested in seeing what else Peter Thomas Roth has to offer. I've hear great things about their face masks so maybe I'll give those a go next!

What do you recommend from the brand?

Benefit Bad Gal BANG! Mascara

 

Hello loves. Things have finally started settling down in my life, for the mean time. 

I will never tire of testing out mascaras, in fact it may be one of my all time favorite things to try.

I have my favorites but there are so many more on the market to explore!

I've always been a fan of Benefit's mascaras and this one was no exception! Extremely pigmented and coats the lash nicely giving you full luxurious lashes! It can get goopy so make sure before applying you wipe off the excess product. I found this brush to be flimsy now I don't know if this is a fault of the sample size or not because I've never used the full size. I would definitely buy this again but I think as far as Benefit is concerned, Roller Lash is still my favorite.

What's your favorite Benefit mascara?

Instagram Round Up #13

 

Good morning loves.

I know it's been a hot minute since my last post. I've had a lot going on in my personal life lately and due to that my blog's had a seat on the back burner. It's been a while since I did one of these IG round up posts but what better way to jump into things. If you don't follow me on IG already, please do @briannarue

Natural face - it was a rough week for me which meant little makeup and motivation.

 

Milk1422 inspired face chart look.

Jigsaw glam. Saw is one of my all time favorite horror series.

Simple wing.

Pink Eye - I loved how this turned out with the pop of hot pink along the upper lash line.

Smokey purples. Another look I love!

Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara

 

 

Good morning loves!

I don't know about you guys but mascaras are one of my favorite products to test out. I'm constantly looking for new ones as there's so many on the market I don't think you could ever tire of trying new ones!

Of course I have my favorites, one being Benefit's Roller Lash and the other being Maybelline's Colossal. This Loreal one while good did have a downfall for me. It's a lengthening mascara which makes your lashes look incredibly long but it doesn't give them the nice full volume like the two I mentioned above. I prefer volumizing mascaras because they make the lashes look nice and full almost like a set of falsies. The brush is nice and small with many spikes and coats the lashes with a nice pigmented black coat. It didn't flake throughout the day which I find a lot of mascaras struggle with. I like this but moving forward I'm going to test it out with a volumizing mascara as well and see how the two work together! Maybe Lash Paradise?

What's your HG mascara?
