Brush Tree--Got this on EBay! Hang your makeup brushes upside down to dry.
Better Home & Gardens Candles--$4.97 at Walmart. Not bad. The colors match my living room! The scents are Warm, Rustic Woods and Creamy Tahitian Coconut.
Maybelline Fit ME Powder and Foundation--The foundation is for normal to dry skin (me) so I loved it. I'm wearing it in the video. There's a matte version too.
Garnier Makeup Removing Lotion Cleanser--Removed my waterproof mascara wonderfully. I've been wearing a lot of it lately and this didn't irritate my eyes.
Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hr Foundation--Satin finish and full-coverage
Koh Den Do--Moisture Foundation that's more like a tinted moisturizer. Gives a great natural glow but PRICEY.
Jordana Matte Lipsticks--I like the one of the gold packaging the best.
Milani Matte--I originally shared them here, but I love them.
Rimmel Colour Finish Lip Crayon--Not bad and moisturizes lips.
Hard Candy All Glossed Up Lip Crayons--Recently shared here.
Wet N Wild Mega Pump Double Menace Mascara--Has 2 different wands for top and bottom lashes.
Milani Lip Liner, Brow Felt Tip Pen, Eyeliner--Didn't like the brow pen, but liked the rest.
Studio 35 Beauty Exfoliating Premium Facial Cleansing Pads--Didn't like the exfoliating side but loved the original of these. Shared here with other hidden gems at the drugstore!
Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer--Didn't make my skin poreless or hide anything, but it did make my foundation last longer.
Revo Lip Balms--Love these better and they're less expensive versions of the EOS ones. These are part of the spring collection.
Trader Joe's Head to Toe Moisturizing Balm--A non-greasy balm that can be used all over. Has a slight grit to it but is more waxy than moisturizing.
Trader Joe's Micellar Cleanser & Makeup Remover--If you wear light makeup, as in not waterproof mascara, not crazy eye looks, you'll like these gentle wipes. They are scented but the wipes are good quality.
Check out my full review of everything pictured!
Extra Elle--
Spent Saturday out and about with Charlie since the weather was so good. We found a "secret" park and explored because Piedmont Park was too crowded. Sunday it was rainy and I got lost (typical) and found an Indian Mall. It was awesome seeing all of the different items I knew nothing about. I was googling everything! I love that about Atlanta--all of the different pockets geared towards different nationalities. I've been to Hispanic and Asian Malls here, but this was new! I'll be back.
I've never gotten any beauty products are trader joe's, I need to check them out.

That brush tree sounds pretty awesome! So much better than just laying my brushes down to dry which takes forever!

I'm very intrigued by the Trader Joe's micellar water wipes. It really is such an interesting sounding ingredient. I hope you and Charlie find more fun things at the Indian mall next time!

That brush tree looks like something I need. I would love to get lost in Atlanta one day, just to discover all of the wonderful little neighborhoods that I don't know about.

You have so many beauty products, which is understandable given your interest and blogging about them. I wonder what you do with those you dislike or don't use. Do you toss 'em or is there someway to give them away?
ReplyDeleteI love videos like this. That's disappointing about the Ken Doh.
ReplyDeleteThat brush tree is genius!! And I am adding the Revo lip balms to my wish list. My daughter and I are addicted to lip balms and glosses! Susan
ReplyDeleteI love the way you displayed our lip products, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat primer sounds good, I'm on the look out for anew one so I'll have to check it out. That and the wipes, since I don't use waterproof mascara. Thanks for the tips, lady!
So many awesome new products!! I love the Milani lipsticks...only have one color, but the formula is so amazing I need to go back for more! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI need that brush tree in my life! Also...who knew Trader Joe's sold makeup?!
ReplyDeletexx
That brush tree sounds amazing! I always feel like the water it is absorbing into the brush and getting gross! So that is perfect! Def want to try that make up remover too! I have such sensitive eyes!
ReplyDeleteI really do need that brush tree. The first I saw that on your Instagram, I was like, "Hey! I want that!" :D
ReplyDeletePS Must really visit ATL soon. It does sound like a great city:)
I love the goodies u got and u review them which makes it easy fr us to knw what to buy and what not !!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the fit me foundation! I like the new matte one so I'm happy the dry and sensitive one is good to. I would love to go to malls like that! Different countries/cultures are so interesting to me
ReplyDeleteSo much to browse! I really like the idea of the brush tree - so simple, but makes life much easier. Have a wonderful week, Elle! x
ReplyDeleteHow neat is that makeup brush tree? And I'm always wanting to try new products, so I love these quick reviews!

Ooh I've never even heard of a makeup brush tree. That actually sounds really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I've never thought to buy beauty goods from Trader Joe's! I would love to try the Micellar Cleanser & Makeup Remover.
ReplyDeleteA brush tree?!?!? Who even knew such a thing existed!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place to shop where you have to google everything - that's for the adventurous :)
I need to get that brush tree!
ReplyDeleteThe makeup tree is such a good idea. I want to try the Maybelline foundation, I need a more dewy look the one I ma using now is more matte and dry. I found the same thing with the Rimmel Primer, staying power but no reduction in pores. So nice you two got out and about and found a new place to explore!
ReplyDeleteI need that brush tree! Maybe it would get me to wash my brusehs more haha

The colors of those Milani Matte Lipsticks are gorgeous! I'll have to check out those Revo lip balms next time I'm at the drugstore too!
ReplyDeleteElle, someday I'd like to come over to your house and see the amount of makeup you have. I'm so sure I'll have a heart attack since I can't hoard more than 5 lipsticks at a time!! How do you store everything btw??

The FIT Me makeup makes my faces super greasy. I tried it hoping to find affordable, yet decent, foundation and powder.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lot of fun exploring this weekend. Here's to a great week!
Wow, lots of goodies here! The brush tree sounds like an intriguing concept, as do some of the new(er) drugstore foundations. I love the Milani matte lipsticks - glad you're a fan, too!
ReplyDeleteI really loved that "brush tree"! I think it's a great help - you said it's to dry brushes, but I would use it for them to stand, anyway! I totally agree with you on the Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer - no apparent improvement, but it left my skin moisturized. The Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hr Foundation is excellent! I love it, and forgot to wear it lately... but it's really good!

I wonder how that brush tree compares to the Benjabelle? What's the top bit sticking up for? Double sided brushes? :-)
ReplyDeletePretty lipsticks. My daughter would want them all. She's more into makeup than I am.
ReplyDeleteThe Indian mall sounds really neat! I love all the different products that you try.
ReplyDeleteThe brush tree is a great idea...but I don't have room for it on my vanity!! I do need to find a good primer and I love my Rimmell mascara. Maybe I'll try this one!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the Cinderella items you got, especially the lip colors! I wish I could wear a lighter lip color by itself, too, but I look too washed out. The one you have on in the video is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow, love all these products, wonderful post, dear. ^^
ReplyDeleteLovely greets Ness
always great to find a hidden gem in our own town.
ReplyDeleteWow, so many fun products here I'd love to try the garnier cleanser and one of the lip crayons! I bought some Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara after your review and I love it :)
ReplyDeletenice products!

nice favorites..i wanted to try Garnier makeup removing lotion cleanser but it is not available in india yet :(
ReplyDeleteI am loving the Milani lip stuff I picked up last week! Every time I am at Walgreens, I see their version of the EOS lip balm and I always wondered if it was equivalent because the EOS stuff is great, but it doesn't seem like it lasts more than just a few minutes but since you said this was better...I need to try it!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Garnier makeup removing lotion cleanser sounds awesome. Have you tried their night lifting cream? I got a sample of it in a magazine a few weeks ago...but it is hard to tell with one try to see if it is any good or not. It felt good the one night I used it though. And that is what I miss about Atlanta....all the cool things like asian or mexican grocery stores and just more culture in general. And when you said Piedmont Park I could instantly picture myself there! :) Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteI need the brush tree! I always (when I clean them) lay my down and some of them get a funky shape. I'm amazed at the products you try...how do you have room?!?! Thanks for sharing all your goodies though :)
ReplyDeleteI could use that brush tree!! And when I run out of my makeup remover wipes I'm using now, I'll have to give that Garnier makeup remover a try. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what other people are buying. I love the brush tree. Gonna have to search for it online. It's such a brilliant idea. I also like the lip products you picked up. :) x
