Benefit: The Pore-fessional pro balm

What it claims:

Blended in

I saw good reviews on this & since I have visible pores, I decided to purchase it.
This product really does minimize the appearance of my pores & it made my face look smooth.

The only con that I have for this is that it did make me shiny. You have to know, I have oily skin already, and this product made me more oily. For those with oily skin like me, I suggest using a finish powder & bringing some oil absorbent sheets with you when you go out.

Revlon Just Bitten lipstain + balm in Passion

Color: Passion

One end is the lipstain.

& the other end is a lip balm

The lipstain & balm on my lips

Overall, this lipstain is very pigmented but the staying power can be around 3-5 hours, depending if you eat/drink. The lipstain alone will make your lips feel dry, so the lip balm it comes with is a must.

New train case

So I got a new train case about a week ago and I am in love with it.

It has a flower lace design that I really like.

It had a card inside, in case I lost my case.

It came with two keys.

Maybelline Dream Mousse concealer

So when I heard and read a lot of good reviews about this concealer, I had to get it. I've heard that it is discontinued, is that true? Well, hearing that, I bought a bunch of back-ups. I still see the product in my local drugstore, but with the same shades everyday, so I guess those are just the ones that are yet to be sold.

Here's the side view

This is how small it is, compared to my hand.

Thick layer

Blended in

Overall, this is my favorite concealer. It covers blemishes and dark circles very well. I like the consistency as well. It may be small but a little of the product goes a long way. It does last throughout the day, especially since I always set my makeup with a finishing powder.

E.L.F. Mint Cream

So, this is the 2nd E.l.f. nail polish that I've used and I was expecting it to go smoothly on my nails just like the E.l.f. Mango Madness nail polish that I've used before.

I was wrong. This nail polish came out so streaky, no matter how much I shook the bottle. I've seen great reviews about this particular nail polish so I was disappointed & surprised. I'm guessing I got the bad bottle since I did try E.l.f. nail polish before & didn't have this problem.
