Mascara and Bronzers for newbies

Hello again!

It has been WAY too long. I have been super busy with life, and honestly I haven't had anything worth saying to post. My post today is a little different as it will include part of my make up collection. I know, I am so original. 

First things first my collection is tiny. Like, picture a beauty bloggers. Now picture what she carries in her purse. That is my entire collection. As I am just now really learning make up, I thought my reviews would be helpful for fellow newbies.

This is my entire collection of mascara and bronzers. Top to bottom: Too Faced Better than Sex mascara, Benefit they're real, Clump Crusher extensions last blast. Bronzers: Hard Candy Tropic 13 and Too Faced Chocolate soleil medium/dark.

Out of the 3 mascaras, I would say Benefit's they're Real is the easiest to use. It doesn't add amazing volume but it makes them look fuller and overall great for an everyday look. However, the full size is pricey (23$) so I bought the mini for 10 dollars because I'm cheap. 

The Better than Sex mascara is super hyped and well known. I did purchase it because of those reasons. It is expensive (23$) so once again I went with the mini. I actually really like it. It makes my eyes stand out and adds volume and just a wow factor. The only way Too Faced was able to do this though was to make the stickiest mascara of man kind. Seriously, I first wore this out on my trip to IKEA, had to look my best of course, and while I was driving my eyelashes STUCK TOGETHER. Like top to bottom. I tried not to panic but I was going 75 down the highway. I'm pretty sure it wasn't my application either. Other than that I like it a lot. 

The Clump Crusher is pretty meh for me. I have used it multiple times but I have yet to be impressed. Just darkens my lashes to be honest. My sister loves it, but she uses an eyelash curler and I do not. I think it just holds the curl really well after using a curler+clump crusher combo. It however, is the cheapest for $7.99 full size.

Here are the wands, Better than sex,benefit, then clump crusher

Between the bronzers, I really enjoy the Too Faced Chocolate soleil most. The hard candy one is such an intense bronzer it has to be used VERY carefully or I will accidentally apply too much. This is useful in the summer when I have a tan, but in the winter months I can look dirty and orange if I am not careful. The too faced bronzer goes on much more sheer and can easily be built on until I get the look I want for contouring and otherwise. It also smells like chocolate which helps just a bit. Price wise, the Hard candy is MUCH more affordable at 9$ compared to 30$ for the full sized Too faced. I got the mini bronzer with the mini better than sex mascara for 15$ at sephora. To try the products, I think that is reasonable.

Left is Hard candy, right is too faced.

I hope this post was interesting, if it did suck PLEASE let me know!
