Love Letters and Lace

Hello there! So I decided to do a collective post on all the things that I got a few weeks ago at the L'Oreal Private Sale! I'm so excited about all these products because 1) I love a good sale and 2) I love getting new makeup I've already had a chance to try almost all of these products, so if you'd like a review of anything, please let me know down below in the comments! So without further ado, here is what I got!

I can sum up this mascara in 2 words: Holy Grail. Of course, you're all here for a full review of it, so I'll give you more than just two words. I first tried this mascara a little over a year ago when I got a mini sized one with the Too Faced "Everything Nice' limited edition holiday palette and I fell in love. It is the best mascara if you want dramatic, fuller and longer lashes. I've tried many mascaras and they all promise to both add length and volume, but usually only manage one. This mascara actually does both. I notice my lashes are noticeably thicker and longer. My makeup looks are so so much more dramatic and pretty when I use this mascara, I swear by it. It is not a waterproof formula (I'm not sure if it comes in a waterproof formulation at all) but that was not a problem. I never had any issues with smudging or even black raccoon eyes in the rare occasion I shed a tear or sweat. (of course, you will get some nice black raccoon eyes if you sh

Hey everyone! I did a bit of makeup shopping at the drugstore today and I thought it'd be fun to share my purchases with you all! Firstly, there some truly amazing sales going on so I definitely encourage you to go check out your nearest drugstores and hopefully find some great deals like I did! Secondly, this may not be the most interesting haul in the world (1. I'm on a budget and 2. I mainly focused on eye and lip products) but I'm so excited with my new purchases!!! What I got: -Maybelline Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara -Maybelline the Falsies Flared Mascara -Marcelle Kohl Eyeliner in Black -Annabelle Smudge Liner eyeliner in Wahine Blue -Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsick in Sugar Plum -Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Wine With Everything (Pearl Finish) -Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Violet Frenzy (Pearl Finish) -Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Plum Velour (Shine finish) -Nyx High Voltage Lipstick in Wine & Dine -Nyx High Voltage Lipstick in Tiar

If you're looking for a mascara that can lengthen your lashes significantly, but also keep them looking natural, then this is the mascara you've been looking for. There was a lot of hype surrounding this mascara, and I've often been disappointed when giving into the hype so I avoided it for a while. However, I recently ran out of my trusty 'Better Than Sex' mascara and it was on sale, so I decided to buy it and give it a try. I can honestly say that this product is SO worth the hype. I like using this mascara on a daily basis when I want my lashes to look longer and like they have a little something there, but not over-the-top. It doesn't flake or smudge at all, which I love. I use the regular, non-waterproof formula, but I haven't had any issues with that. I find that the formula is pretty wet, but once it dries, it looks great and doesn't smudge. I do find that it's not the most buildable mascara and it tends to clump a bit on me if I add

Happy August everyone! Here's what I loved this month! There isn't much, since I've mostly been using the same things I loved from June, but there are a few new things! Enjoyyy! MAKEUP:  Maybelline 'The Colossal Volum Express' mascara This mascara is wonderful. I picked it up after not having used it in a while, after I ran out of my Too Faced 'Better Than Sex' mascara so it had some big shoes to fill, but I honestly have grown to love this one so much. Its not the most volumizing of mascaras that I've used, but it really lengthens your lashes in a way that looks very natural, almost to the point that you look like your wearing false lashes. Its so great! Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in 'Elusive' This is my go-to lip colour when I'm going out in the summer. Its so cute and summery, I honestly love wearing it. The lasting power is surprisingly long and even though its matte, it doesn't cling to any creases or dry patches on your l
