Elf Natural Eyeshadow palette review

Image
I bought this palette because I like golden themed colors, I picked it up at a local drugstore.   The palette comes in a black and silver shimmery packaging. The palette is small enough to fit in one's palm, weighs 0.17 ounces and is lightly scented. The colors are all shimmery and great for a night - time look.  Pros. The shadows are long - wearing and very affordable ( as are all Elf products). Cons. It is not finely milled (the darkest shade is almost chunky in texture) and there is some eyeshadow fallout. I like this product and would recommend it because it is still a good quality for its price. You can check out similar shades to this product here:

Cara Mia liquid matte foundation review

Image
This product comes in a cuboid - shaped glass bottle with a black plastic cover.  I got it at a local beauty store.   This brand (Cara Mia) of cosmetics is manufactured in the country where I live (Trinidad and Tobago) and I enjoy trying out local products. The consistency is like a thin cream and is lightly scented. I wore this foundation approximately twice a week to go to work.  The testing period lasted three weeks. The results?  Oh boy. I have oily skin and I know I should stay away from liquid foundations however, I tried a couple other brands before this without much stress. Cara Mia? Every time I wore it, I became extremely wet and greasy after a couple of hours. The weather could be cool, I could be in an A/C building, I could add extra primer and setting powder - same results. I would recommend to those with dry skin, hopefully they would experience a different result. Thanks a lot for visiting my blog!...
