E.L.F Lotion Wipes

I went shopping today at Target. I swear that place has some sort of magic because I go in there with one thing in mind and walk out with 30 things! I'm really disappointed with a few things that I bought. The main one is the new E.L.F Lotion Wipes. Has anyone else tried these? I bought the cucumber melon scented ones (they have a few different kinds). "To hydrate and moisturize the skin" is what is says on the packaging. It didn't do either. It moistened my skin but that was it. No hydration at all. I know these are only $3 but with E.L.F sometimes you get more than your moneys worth. 

For example; I really enjoy their face wipes. Granted this is the first time I also purchased those. I always get the neutrogeona face wipes (the blue kind) and I like those a lot. The last purchase I made for wipes was the Olay brand fresh effects and oh man did those burn my eyes out! I'll never get those again. But the E.L.F face wipes did not burn my eyes and seemed to get all my makeup off with one wipe. I was impressed. 

Another thing I purchased was Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner. I bought one in Nude and the other in Deep Blue. I was not truly impressed by these either. Well at least not the Deep blue one (I haven't tried the Nude one yet). It was not as pigmented as I thought it was going to be. Maybe it's a different formula than they use in the UK. Because I've heard so many people brag about them. 

I repurchased the L'Oreal YouthCode BB cream. I really liked it but my tan has faded so I had to buy another one. This time I got the light color one. I like the Garnier one too but the L'Oreal one seems to leave my skin less oily. 

Let me know if you've tried any of these products and what you thought about them. Remember this is just my opinion. We all have different skin types and different skin needs; so what works for you may not work for me and vice versa.

Have a great day everyone! Enjoy the new season.

Lorac behind the scenes eye primer

What can I say? I love this stuff! It's so much better than the urban decay ones that I've tried. I got this free with the purchase of the Lorac Pro Palette and I love it! It truly does make your eyeshadow last all day without creasing. It also allows for brighter colors to be seen. Has anyone else tried this ?

Clinique Age defense BB cream

Hey beauts0! C'Priana here!!  Recently I went to Macys and there was a promotion for a free 30-day sample of foundation. I filled out a card saying what I was recently using and the lady took that into consideration and chose a Clinique Age defense BB cream that also has a SPF 30 in it. Its $33 and totally worth it. I have fairly dry skin in the winter, so I was given this as a tutorial! So here we go..  PROS: coverage was nice and light and had a matte finish that looked really natural. Not very much was needed to cover my skin at all. I used maybe a nickel size drop to cover. I have dark circles under my eyes and it definitely took them away leaving me a little room for barely any cover up. CONS: the amount I was given to sample was not enough to last 30 days, the maximum amount of uses I got was around 22 days. The price is a little high for how big the tube is, although its Clinique.. so what do ya expect ;) after a while, I noticed the color kind of transformed in the tin to be a tanner color, I also noticed this kind of shed off onto my skin too. The day she put it on, the color matched perfectly, then the more I got into using it, the color got darker.. or I got even more pale..?! haha. Just keep a heads up for that. I do like this cream and although it is an age defense cream, I do recommend it to all ages. It is worth the money if you're someone who does not like to wear a full face of makeup everyday, especially for those days when you wake up and don't feel like getting ready! ALSO another thing, if you're not to sure on what foundation is right for you, visit a Macys and see what they recommend if theyre still offering this promotion! Any questions, please feel free to ask, and definitely give feedback, love to hear from you all! Have a great day!! <33
