Products I’ve Hit Pan On:: e.l.f. Contour Palette

Posted in Bronzer, Combination Skin, Dry Skin, Favorites, Highlight, Hits, Hits and Misses, Make Up, Makeup, Normal Skin, Oily Skin, Powder, Review by whateverlara

e.l.f. Says::

This beautiful contour palette holds 4 gorgeous shades to mix and match for a custom, defined look. The pigmented colors are designed for contouring, shading, sculpting, brightening and highlighting the eyes, cheekbones, nose, and jawline to slim and enhance features. Infused with Vitamin E to help nourish for gorgeous-looking skin.

Lara Says:: Well as you can see I really don’t like this product at all! This is my go to for travel as it has a bronzer (lightest brown shade), contour (deepest brown shade), under-eye setting powder (the yellow powder) and a highlight (white powder). This thing is $6 which comes out to $1.50 per pan, I mean you can’t beat that!!! I’ve already bought another one and it is waiting in the wings for me to use the rest of this baby up!

Buy on the e.l.f website for $6 OR check out your local Wal-Mart or Target

Products I’ve Hit Pan On:: Maybelline Oil Control Translucent Pressed Powder

Posted in Make Up, Makeup, MIsses, Oily Skin, Powder, Review by whateverlara

I picked this up when Ulta was having a buy one get one 50% off on Maybelline products a few months ago. If you are a regular reader you know that my skin is super oily and nothing I’ve tried so far keeps my oil at bay for a significant period of time. This has oil control in the name so I thought why not!

My biggest problem with this is that it looks very powdery. Funny I know its a powder… but even with a light hand this makes me look like I’m flat, matte and wearing powder which is not a look I’m going for. If you have dry skin this will be a not go as I can imagine it would cling like crazy to any dry areas. I still use it, just not on its own. I will use this up but I won’t repurchase it in the future.

MAYBELLINE Oil Control Translucent Pressed Powder in Soft Cameo — $5.99

Face of the Day with Naked 3

While I was laying in bed last night I was thinking about how I was going to do my makeup the next day (please tell me I’m not the only one who does this…. ) and thought to myself “I haven’t used the Naked 3 in a long time I’ll use that! ” Well… I was really planning on doing something adventurous but I woke up late and while I did end up using the Naked 3 I did a simple look.
