♡ Holy Grail Makeup Products ♡ PART 2 of 3
Hello again my little Quiches!
This is part 2 of 3 of my Holy Grail
makeup products installment. I was just
going to do one whole post....but it would
have been way too long!
Disclaimer: I have recently only been trying to purchase cruelty free makeup products. The products that are not cruelty free that are in the post, are ones that I will not be repurchasing, but I am just trying to use them up and get rid of them!
Let's Start with primer!
1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance.
This primer is fantastic! Just like any other Too Faced product tbh. It applies very thin and and doesn't add any extra color to the skin. I really like that about this primer because there are some eye shadow primers out there that are thick, clumpy, and don't dry well. This dries so fast and really does prolong the length that my eye shadow stays on.
Eye shadows
1. The Graveyard Girl Swamp Queen Pallete by Tarte.
So let's be real. I was fangirling so hard when I found out that Tarte was coming out with this pallete. I was just waiting and waiting for it to be in stock again and I finally got my hands on it. This pallete....I can't believe I'm going to say this....is my ALL TIME favorite pallete. The colors are so versatile, you can create an endless amount of looks with these colors. Let me just say that the pictures do not do it justice. The bronzer, highlight, and blush in this pallet also kick some serious ass. You can do so many things with this and I would recommend it to everyone!
2. The Kat Von D Shade & Light Eye Pallete.
This pallete would be perfect for beginners. It's very easy to blend and has all the colors you could possibly need for neutral eye looks.I actually use the middle of the top 3 shades to powder my eyebrows! Kat Von D always saves my life when I don't know what to do with my eye shadow.
Eyeliner/ Eyebrows
1. (On the far left) Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade in Blonde.
I've actually just started using this product. It is very thick...in a good way, and makes your brows look phenomenal. The color pay off is crazy!
2. Anastasia Brow Pencil in Taupe.
Next to the brow pomade we have this Anastasia Brow pencil. I LOVE this product. I like this better than the gel only because of the ease. It is so simple to put on and so easy to blend. I always use this when I'm in a hurry and it gives me great results!
3. Stila Stay-All-Day Liquid Liner in Black
Next to the Anastasia Brow Pencil we have this Stila liquid liner. This liner really does stay on all day. I mean it does not budge. The felt tip is very easy to work with. This liner has great color pay off and dries to a matte finish! I don't believe that Stila is cruelty free, so I'll probably be trying Kat Von D's liquid liner next.
4. Rimmel Exaggerate Retractable pencil in Black.
Last but not least we have this Rimmel liner. I use this for my upper waterline and lower. It doesn't have the best staying power but I hardly ever use eyeliner on my waterlines so it makes it good enough for me! It's very affordable and does it's job. As far as I know, Rimmel is not cruelty free so I will not be repurchasing when I run out!
Mascara
1. Maybelline Colossal Spider Effects Mascara
If I had to rate this mascara out of 5 stars, I would give it a 3. I actually don't particularly like this product as much as I though I would, but I needed a new cheap base mascara and thought that I would give this a try. I was really hoping for thick and clumpy as hell lashes but it really doesn't do that for me. I only included this product because I use it everyday...and I'm just trying to get rid of it! Not cruelty free. Will not be repurchasing.
2. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
Okay, so I never thought that a high end mascara would be any different than a drugstore mascara but boy was I wrong. This gives me the fullest, most beautiful lashes I've ever seen a mascara give me. I love to pair this with the Lash Sensational mascara for extra volume. These two are amazing together!
3. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
I haven't been able to find a drugstore mascara that I like for a very long time until I ran across this little gem. This mascara gives me such long and full lashes. It's crazy how great this product is. I am so very bummed that this is not cruelty free.
Thank you guys so much for reading!
