E.L.F. Eye Cream Review

Good morning, beauties!

Well, this has been a long week! I hope yours has been gorgeous!

For the past few months, I have been using an eye cream. It is no secret I have bags under my eyes for miles. I have tried several other eye creams in the past, and one stands out. It was incredible and super expensive. Simply put, I could not afford the $50 price tag every two months, so I went looking for cheaper options. I heard that the E.L.F. hydration set was perfect for really cheap. This product I am reviewing is E.L.F. Illuminating Eye Cream.

The claims:
This nourishing cream helps hydrate and minimize the appearance of dark circles and puffiness for glowing, healthy looking skin. Infused with Purified Water and skin nourishing Jojoba, Vitamin E, and Cucumber to help soothe and protect the delicate skin area around the eye. Rich in antioxidants Shea Butter and Green Tea. 

How to use the product:
Use morning and night after cleansing.
  • With your ring finger, gently dab around the under eye area, outward to the temples, and along the brow bone to illuminate tired eyes.
How To Use Our Full Skincare Regimen:
  • Step 1 - Serum: Apply first to clean skin to soothe redness and irritation while illuminating the skin.
  • Step 2 - Daily Hydration Moisturizer: After Soothing Serum, apply before makeup to moisturize and lock in hydration for smooth, even skin.
  • Step 3 - Illuminating Eye Cream: After moisturizing, gently dab around the eye and brow area to brighten and lift tired eyes.
  • Step 4 - Nourishing Night Cream: Apply to clean face before bed after Soothing Serum and wake up with vibrant skin!

My Review:
Like I said earlier, I have used this product since around Thanksgiving or Christmas. I wanted to wait to review it until I finished the product to see if that would make it the best it could be. I tried my best to use it nightly before bed, but I'm human. Some nights I forgot. 

In the instructions, it says to use before makeup. I do not recommend this. I DO NOT! My skin is combination skin, I have naturally oily spots. When I used this before makeup, my undereye makeup would be gone by noon. I work 10 hours a day, so noon is not even halfway through my day. After a few tries of this (including a setting powder to help), I nixed the idea. Instead, I put it on as a part of my bedtime routine. 

My bedtime routine is straightforward and easy. After working so long, I need something fast and to the point, because I'm too tired for a 30-minute routine. First I would wash my face, then moisturize my entire face, after I would use this on and around my eyes. 

The Good: 
This stuff is moisturizing. Like you'll wake up, and your eyes and undereye feel softer than a down feather. Well... That's all of the good!

The Bad: 
All other claims are untrue. My under eyes are bad, dark, bags on bags. They need help, a lot. This did not minimize my dark circles. It did not help with puffiness. It did not minimize anything other than the dryness my eyes had. 

Recommend? 
If you are looking strictly for moisturizing your eyes, of course! But if you're under eyes are needing to reduce puffiness, darkness, and need moisturizing? No. Definitely not.

Catsuit by Wet N Wild

Good day beauties! This past week I have been trying the Wet N Wild Catsuit liquid lipsticks. Or well I tried I should say. One day I tried the Berry Recognize shade and the Goth Topic shade. Well On the first day of wearing it was awesome. The fade it had from wearing all day was not extremely noticeable. It was a flattering fade. The wear is drying, but not as drying as my KVD or ABH liquid matte lipsticks. These are great lipsticks, or so I thought. On another day I wore Goth Topic, which is this gorgeous dark color brown plum color. Beautiful on my skin tone. It has the same wear as the first lipstick and the same horrible smell. But I noticed at the end of the day when I was taking my makeup off; my lips were swollen slightly. I just thought it was the fact that I wore matte lipstick two days in a row, so the next day I wore no lipstick to let my lips recuperate. After a day or two of recuperation, I wore Berry Recognize for the second time. I took it off that night to find th

Date Night Makeup

Image
Hello, beauties!! Tonight was my husband’s and my date night! I recorded a video, sped up to 800%, of me doing my makeup. What is not at the beginning of the video is me putting my Mac Paint Pot in Latin low all over my eyelids. I chose to do some heavy makeup for this date night. I mean, who actually knows what to wear to a date that has ax throwing? Today I tried something new. I started with my eyes. I know, I know, it's strange. I started with my eyes because I have been more interested in the sharp eye. What I mean by this is that I wanted my eyeshadow to begin at a sharp point, and not slowly fade in. I will be trying this more for my date night makeup, but not my go to work makeup looks.   Links to youtube. No filter and no photoshop/facetune.  In pure daylight. No filter and no photoshop/facetune.  After the date. In the yellow light of my home. No filter and no photoshop/facetune.  "Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.&qu
