Hey everyone!!! We are already in the month of December! Can't believe it! The year goes by soo freaking fast. I wish it would sloow down. After this month, I will have been a blogger for 1 full year strong!!! Crazyness! Today I just wanted to do a small collective beauty review! A little bit of products, little bit of samples and a little bit of gifts! One of my favorite things is makeup so I am very excited to show and review all these products! Diamonds are a girls best friend? Nah. Makeup is!
I'll start with the Lancome paris mascara in "deep black" which is the one farthest to the left. This company is a little more high end but overall kind of in the middle. I like to start from outer to inner so I'll start with the packaging. The packaging is very sleek and glamorous. Black and gold is a very glamorous combination. It seems marketed towards the older girl but still very nice. It's very chic and minimal and feels good in your hands. It's kind of the perfect size. Here's what it looks like opened.
Sorry for how sucky this picture is but you can see the jist of how it is when opened. The wand is very long and slim. It has a very neat and compact look. Kind of perfect for your purse. As far as the way that it applies, It's kind of slightly awkward with how long the wand is in my personal opinion. Some may like that but the wand is too long for me. And the bristles are very short and compact so it applies very light. It almost feels like it's barely going on so you have to keep applying just to see a little difference. So the combination of the long wand and short bristles are not really something I like. And as far as the formula, It's hard to tell if the formula is light or if that is the way the wand applies it.. either way, this mascara doesn't take the cake. In this case, more money does not equal more better.
Then, the Nxy Baby doll lash! I love the packaging for this one. So cute! This one is less glamorous but more cute and I like it the same.
This wand is kind of like the basic wand. Basic price and size. A little on the thin side with the brush. But not as thin as the Lancome Paris. It applies more or less the same. From what I see with mascaras, Whether you go up or down on the spectrum, it's all relatively the same but occasionally you will find something that has a wow factor. This one is not one of those lol. It's just a regular cute mascara and applies on the thin side so it doesn't take the cake either.
And the rest of these believe it or not were all gifts! lol Yes. This is why I love Sephora. You get gifts just for shopping!
They are samples granted but still so great. You get to try new brands for free and get cute little knickknacks.
I'll start with the sugar tinted lip treatment. It looks like this.

It's basically a fancy chap stick lol. But much more moisturizing and with a slight tint that is really pretty. It kind of makes your lips look like rose petals to me. It's a very pretty tint. This is the gift I think I've seen them give out most. And the smell is really nice! I can't really describe the scent really. But its not a familiar scent that smells like everything else. When you smell it, it will be different from anything else. So that's a thing. It's very signature. I will just say it's VERY sweet and a unique scent. Here is what it looks like opened!
Again, sorry for the mess in the back. ugh. But as you can see its a very moist and creamy treatment. And VERY soft. Like butter. It's too soft actually. It's so soft that you have to press soo lightly on your lips or it will break the stick. And when you even do that, it lathers it on too much! Just from this alone, it makes me not like it. It kind of just falls apart on your lips. There's no form. I do like to lather things on but not a lip treatment and its just so like creamy and buttery and falling apart that it's messy.
Then the next sample which is the third from the right. The Buxom mascara. I already kind of reviewed this product but this one is a sampler and kind of a little different. This one is compact for your purse and has a different wand and package so I decided to review it too. Again, with the whole buxom thing, the packaging is nice but once you open it, that's when the weird shyt happens again. You don't screw it on like most mascaras. It just pops open and BAM there it is. lol The wand is very short. It looks like this.

It's too short! lol Very strange. The bristles are damn near touching the cap! lol But I get that it is suppose to be compact. Then when you apply with this applicator, because its so short, its very weird. I don't know if they sell these sizes for your purse like on the go or anything but if they did, I wouldn't recommend it. It's just a very weird application.
Then, the smash box mascara that is the second from the left! So so far I'm already kind of really liking smash box the company. The mascara on the other hand along with the buxom is just ok. The applicator is much better with a screw on cap but the buxom brush is actually better than the smashbox. It looks like so.
It's just to round of a brush and to short of a stick basically. Those two make for not a good combination. It feels very odd to apply with this. Again, I don't know if they actually seell these for like on the go in your purse but if they do, nah to these. lol
And we are nearing the end. Oh my! I saved the best for last. I already LOOOVE the Anastasia brand and sephora was giving out little goodie bags!
In this cute kind of burgundy bag you got a little eye mask and lipgloss! so cute! I think that is such a cute combination. The bag looks like this. I went ahead and put everything I was going to review in it.

It's super soft and lush. And the back strap is white lace. Looks like so.

So cute right! I thought it was kind of perfect. It's like sci fi meets beauty to me. Or like tech meets beauty which is kind of perfect. It kinda looks like it was made for a beauty blogger exactly. And the best part is the lipgloss! This is MY NEW FAV lipgloss!!

It's the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lipgloss in "MOI". It's kind of like a really pretty samon color. It seems like it would be universally flattering too. Like flattering to all women and on all skin types. For me, I feel like it brightens my face up and just makes me look soft and soo pretty. Something about this lipgloss makes my whole face look prettier. No joke. The formula is soo nice and high quality and the packaging is just very sleek and glam and pretty! It's kind of perfect! The only down side is the applicator. It looks like this.
So yeah, it's like a plastic piece. And the way it feels like when you apply is like a hard plastic. It feels hard on your lips. It feels like your putting frosting on a cake with one of those things. I don't know what you call it. Like a icing spatula. lol That's exactly what it feels like lol. Like your frosting a cake except it's your lips. But once you get use to the applicator it's pretty nice. It applies much better than a sponge applicator because the sponge really just absorbs all the product. With this one, it actually puts on the product onto your lips and actually applies pretty well too once you get the hang of it. But the best applicators for lipgloss will always be brushes. So I was kind sad this wasnt a brush at first. But honestly, I like everything else about this lipgloss soo much that I can forgive that. I really love this lipgloss. It is my absolute favorite right now!
And that is the end of this collective beauty review!! yay! We did it. Believe it or not this takes me a good few hours or so but it's a labor of love. No complaints. But when I finally ge tto the end it feels like I crossed the finish like of a big race or something. lol This should have been up Monday. I apologize for that. I was so horribly under the weather. It was terrible. Still kind of am but MUCH better today!
I hope you enjoyed this review!
Happy Tuesday! =)
