Beauty Grab Bag: June!

Here's a wee roundup of beauty purchases I made in the last month or so. I have a bunch more but didn't want to overwhelm the post. While these are quick reviews, I'd be more than happy to give an extensive review on a product--just let me know. Remember, just because I don't like a product doesn't mean you won't either. Try 'em out! Without further ado, here's my Beauty Grab Bag for June!

L'Oreal Color Riche Polish in Boozy Brunch, worn here
Around $5.99 
Gorgeous coral shade for summer
Notes: it's more orange than coral, love it, great coverage, would repurchase

Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express
Around $6-7.99
The first gel-mousse formula & bendy wand
Notes: lashes weren't brittle or flaky unless I pulled on them. No consistent look to lashes. 
Decent volume. Not repurchasing.

Prestige My Blackest Lashes
Around $5
Intense black volume mascara & recommended as better than Carbon Black
Notes: For those who don't like wet mascaras but want volume, try this.
Good volume, but Carbon Black is my fave. Would repurchase.

Revlon Scented Nail Enamel
Around $3+
Lots of scents, but this collection (only purchased 3) 
has my favorite scents they've released
Included are Sugar Glaze, a pinky lilac
Strawberry Cream, a coral pink similar to Butter London's Trout Pout
Lemon Meringue, a yellow (obvs)
Great smell, good coverage, & I would repurchase. Like I said, I like these better than past scents.

Have a great weekend! Be safe, behave, and be well! Love, Elle

    This is a great product review. I love hearing about other women's experiences with their products. I need a good mascara...or maybe just a miracle!

    I love Maybelline mascara! I usually get the great lash stuff, though. I don't know about the gel...might have to not experiment.

    Ooh I'm intrigued by the scented nail polishes! I was at the airport so I went crazy on some Chanel nail polish (but love it!)

    I've never tried scented nail polish. I may have to give those Revlon ones a try.

    like the peachy shade, just got one nail polish from my brother's gf, nice of her! also a minty one and a pink one! is maybelline mascara any good? I know lots of girls use it, I have been stuck on L'Oreal Telescopic for years now, sometimes it's tempting to change..

    I bought that mascara. It was so heavy that it weighed my curled lashes all the way back down. I was not a happy camper...but after the bottle got a little older and the mascara was less intense, it worked perfecto!
