Hit or Miss? NEW Beauty Reviews: Drugstore and Sephora

So this past week I did something I've never done before on the blog: I took a break.

In case you somehow missed me blowing up your Snapchat or Instagram (ellesees on both), I was at Walt Disney World! Normally when I'm on vacation, I leave the blog stocked with videos and posts, but not the time. I was too sick the week before to do so. It left me so much anxiety, and I missed being here. I hope you missed it, too!

And I'm back with lots of reviews for you!

Covergirl Oh Sugar!--This tinted lip balm is moisturizing, a nice tint, and a great scent. I wouldn't purchase it again, but I was pleasantly surprised by this!

Clinique Sweet Pots--(Sephora)--One side is a lip scrub, one side is a lip tint, put them together and you have an adorable macaron-esque product. However, looks are deceiving here as I wasn't that impressed with either product. You can make you own MUCH better versions from this post. Cute, but skip it.

MAC Retro Lip Mattes (MAC)--Y'all know I love a matte liquid lipstick (try reviews here and here) so I had to get these. I really liked them. I'm wearing the pink one in the video at the end of this post.

Defy & Inspire Polish--This is Target's own new brand of polish. Full of cute colors and names, the 5-free polish is okay. They don't last that long, but are fun to try. I'm wearing it in the video at the end!

Maybelline Masterprime--Part of my haul here, I loved these. Great eye shadow primers that really lasted and didn't crease.

Covergirl TruNaked Goldens--I didn't think these were anything special and wouldn't repurchase.

Wet N Wild UltimateBrow--This brow mascara has a large wand and is messy. I wouldn't repurchase.

Glam Glow Lip Plumper--(Sephora)--Expect a bigger review on this soon, but essentially this didn't plump my lips at all.

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist--(Sephora)--A lovely makeup refresher, but it wasn't that big of a difference. I'd skip it. It does feel nice, smell great, and uses fabulous ingredients.

Pantene Air Spray--Alcohol-free hairspray! Finally frizzy hair (like mine) can use hairspray! I really liked this.

L'Oreal Root Coverup--Of all of the methods to hide my grey roots temporarily, this is my fave new product. It works and I LOVE IT.

L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Wash-Off Body Makeup Lotion--Just apply and have streak-free color, until your next shower. I really loved this. Very subtle but not (on me) orange. Check it out below:

And finally some Valentine's treats I got from Pixi by Petra. You can get this brand at Target.
Lipstick--Every time I wear any of these, I get asked what am I wearing. Gorgeous, glossy lipsticks.

Lip Contour Liner--Because sometimes lipstick just loves to bleed outside the lips.

Glowtion Day Dew--This is a pinkish brightening lotion that gives skin a glow.

And now for the video, where I go into more details on these products:

• Home two days and then back on the road--this time for my niece Emmalyn's 1st birthday! I'm so excited for her princess party!
• In case you skipped the top, I spent 5 days at Walt Disney World. I had a wonderful time, but the weather was really chilly and windy! But the crowds were light!
