I love experimenting with various beauty products from different brands, both high end and from the drug store. Experimenting helps me determine what I should spend my money on and what I shouldn't. I thought I would share my favorite beauty products in the month of March and give a short review about them. I hope everyone enjoys this beauty review and hopefully you guys will go out and by these products as well.
1. The Masquerade Palette by Juvia's Place
This palette retails for $35, but if you want to save some money you can get the mini version of the palette for $25. This palette is amazing because of its high pigment shadows and the various colors in the palette; allowing for a balance of bolds and neutrals. This palette can be used to make very bright eye looks, smokey eye looks, and everyday basic eye looks. There are a total of 16 shadows in the palette and each shade is inspired by African Festivities filled with enormous joy and spiritual activities. The bold colors represent costumes used in festivals, while the nude and browns represent the African soil and environments.
Row 1 (L to R): Chi, Mali, Dalia, Zola Row 2 (L to R): Makeda, Zobo, Calabar, Bori
Row 3 (L to R): Giza, Burkina, Cairo, Ada Row 4 (L to R): Dahia, Zulu, Casabianca, Fulani
2. L.A. Girl Pro Coverage Foundation
This foundation retails for $10 and offers various shades for every skin tone. This foundation is amazing because it is a full coverage foundation, it lasts for most of the day, and it's an illuminating foundation; which allows for your skin to have a natural glow.
3. NARS Blush
This blush retails for $30, but if you want to save a little bit of money on the product you can become a member of the Sephora rewards program which will give you discounts on various products in the store. There are 26 shades in this blush collection, which means there is a color for everyone and they all have a shimmer finish. My favorite blush shade is Goulue and it is a warm berry shade with gold shimmer.
4. Benefit They're Real Mascara
This mascara retails for $24 and is one out of many Benefit mascara products. This is my most used mascara because it provides length and volume to your lashes while still making them look natural.
5. Wet N Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick
This matte lipstick retails for $4.99 and offers 13 different shades of lipstick ranging from nudes to vampire reds. The reason I love this lipstick is because it is long lasting, it doesn't transfer on other surfaces, and its very smooth when applying it on the lips. My favorite shade is Give Me Mocha, which is the 6th shade of nudes and the reason I love this shade is because it's the perfect nude for my skin tone and it's a dark nude.
I hope you guys enjoyed this article and that you will purchase one or all of these products mentioned in my monthly beauty favorites.
