Benefit Tan About Town Review

I love Benefit Cosmetics! So, when I saw this kit at the counter, I had to pick it up! I've seen this kit range from 15 to 20 dollars. I picked up mine at Macy's for $17. As shown above, this kit comes with three sample products: the Some-Kind-A-Gorgeous Foundation Faker, Hoola Bronzer, and Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Some- Kind- A- Gorgeous Foundation Faker

The full-sized product retails for thirty dollars. This comes in the medium shade.

Pro's:
-feels like you are wearing nothing
-smooth texture

Con's
- I don't think it was Benefit's smartest move to include a face product in a kit. Everyone has different skin tones! It sucks that a pale girl or a darker skin girl would buy this kit and not be able to use this product just because this product does not match them. 
- The finish is cakey and AWFUL!
- It is a very light coverage on the skin.
- don't like the packaging (unsanitary)
- TERRIBLE scent! It reminds me of those crayons you used to use when you were little. Luckily, I didn't notice the scent lingering on my skin while wearing this product throughout the day. However, a lot of other people said that they did.
-  This product is so creamy and smooth that it almost works against it. It almost melts off of the skin in high temperatures.
- Lasting power is horrible! Give it two to three hours maximum and it will be gone.
- only thee colors to choose from

When I put this on, I immediately want to take it off because it looks so bad. I would not recommend this product to anyone!

Bad Gal Lash Mascara

The full size retails for 19 dollars. It comes in the regular formula. 

Pro's:
- does a good job at volumizing lashes
- packaging is so cute!

Cons:
- doesn't lengthen too much
- So much product gets gunked up at the top of the brush, causing a lot of smudges.
- the brush is so big! It's difficult for me to get product on my lashes nearest to my nose.
-it takes so many coats to see a result

Overall, I think this mascara is decent. Keep in mind that I already have long, curled lashes. Most mascaras that work well for me may not do anything for people with short, straight lashes. That happens to be the case with this mascara. However, I would not recommend this to anyone particularly because of the brush issue and the smudging.

Hoola Bronzer

The full sized product retails for 28 dollars.

Pro's:
- smooth texture
- buildable contour
-flattering on a variety of skin tones
- a little goes a long way

Con's
none

This is most definitely the star of the show!

Overall, I give this kit a 2 out of 5. The bronzer was my favorite part. The rest of it was bleh. I would not recommend this kit to anyone, especially because the Hoola bronzer comes with a lot of other Benefit kits. 

If you've tried any of these products, let me know what you think of them! Thanks for reading :)

Not impressed, Bath and Body Works

Bath and Body Works claims that "this miniature must-have contains natural ingredients and powerful germ killers that keep hands fresh and clean on-the-go!"

Pro's:

- available in a COUNTLESS number of scents

- cute packaging
- the scent always lingers

Con's:

- overpriced (Your only getting one fluid ounce. Their original price of $1.75 is pushing it. Even when they have the 5 for $5 deal, it's still pushing it. You can buy a huge bottle of Purel for a dollar!)
- leaves the skin feeling sticky and gross. I always end up feeling like I should have just washed my hands instead (this is a HUGE turn off for me).
- I feel like the whole "powerful germ killer" claim is a complete joke! You can barely even feel the alcohol when using this product.
- There are a lot of parabens in this product!

I give this product a 2 out of 5. You probably aren't very surprised. The con's outweigh the pro's by a lot for me. I feel like they are very overrated. I know that the PocketBacs' are loved by many people, but i'm just not a fan. I will not be repurchasing these.

Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Polish Review

I always thought that I would never try this brand of nail polish. After trying them out first hand, I can honestly say that I was so wrong about them! Each one retails for $1.99 in your local drugstore.

Pro's: 

• lustrous finish after 1 coat
• smooth formula
• amazing price
• dries quickly
• LOVE the brush
• a wide color selection
• the packaging makes the product look more expensive than it actually is
• opaque after 2-3 coats (After applying the first coat, it doesn't spread evenly throughout the nail. I recommend applying at least two coats.)

Con's:

• runny formula (Some people may like this about the nail polish. Personally, I don't like it because you have to be more careful with how much you put onto the brush. I also feel like because they are so thin, it makes the product last for less time.)
• Despite the name 'megalast', these last for about two-three days without a top coat. Like I said in the last con, I feel like the runny formula is to blame for this. As usual, you could extend the wear with a top coat.

  'I Need A Refreshment' is one of my favorite summer colors!

'Under Your Spell' is a dark brown metallic shade with flecks of red in it. It's great for special occasions!

                                     

                    

            'Disturbia' reminds me of Halloween. Maybe it's the name? Probably. It's a very deep and dark purple. I love to put it on one or two nails and put a brighter polish on the rest of my nails.

'Tropicalia' is one of the more popular colors in the line. It's perfect for summer!

Overall, I give these nail polishes a 4.5 out of 5. I took off a half point because of the misleading name, 'megalast'. However, I am very impressed with everything else. Excellent job, Wet n Wild! You nailed it!
