Black and White Swan!

Hey everyone! Violet here! So for Halloween this year, Nina and I were the white and black swan from the movie The Black Swan, inspired by Swan Lake. Since for both of us this was our first year pretty much making our costumes on our own from scratch, I was to proud not to do a blog post on it.

Kitty Cat Halloween Costume DIY

Halloween is just days away! So if you are one of many who waits till the last minute, then we have the perfect solution for you! All you need is liquid eye liner and  gold sparkly eye shadow!

What we did was put black liquid eye liner as whiskers by making 3 stripes on each check, for a fur effect you can rub your eye shadow around them. Then, we made a triangle on the nose for a cat effect. For the eyes, we put the sparkly eye shadow up to the eye brows then created a winged out eye liner look. 

After that, you can add some ears and wear all black, maybe with a tail, and your done! Go and rock your look at a halloween party or have some fun trick-or-treating with friends!

Revlon Color Burst Lip Product Review!

In general, lip product are pretty easy to find and love. For me, drugstore lip products are such a steal! But Revlon lip products, now you have me! This color burst lip product in Cotton Candy is amazing! 

It gives you a good amount of product in the bottle, and the packaging is so cute! The feeling of it on your lips is so smooth and soft, yet its not a lip balm, it has a lot of color! 

As long as you don't apply this before you drink your Pumpkin Spiced Latte, it will pretty much stay on all day! 

Over all this is an amazing product that I use pretty much every day of my life.

Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer

This Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer is a new product from the brand, and since we love Maybelline so much, I have to say we were a bit disappointed. 

The application process is great, and there does seem to be a substantial amount of product so thats good. The thing that disappointed us was that although its a great brightener, it doesn't actually conceal all that well. 

Also, this product claims to be an age rewinder, but if it cant conceal a thirteen-year-olds bags then I don't think it could conceal any wrinkles! I will say this, it is a great eye brightener. The quality for that is amazing. So if you are looking for just a nice brightened eye product this is the thing for you! 

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Perfume Review!

As hopefully all of you are aware of, fall IS here! So Nina and I have been looking for the perfect fall everyday sent! And we finally found it!

Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift is the perfect combination of musky wooden type smell mixed with rose or flowers in the undertones. The combination just fills you up with warmth and the feeling of Fall and Winter! 

We love this perfume because it is elegant enough to wear to a fancy dinner or graduation, yet also we feel like it would be just as appropriate to wear every day! Besides, who doesn't love Taylor Swift?

Baby Lips by Maybelline Product Review!

It is pretty hard to find your holy grail chap stick that you use everyday. For me especially, i need it to do its job, and I need it to do its job right! But with this product, I think it comes pretty close to having every single quality I look for! 

First of all, they come in all colors, I chose bright pink of course (025 Pink Punch) but you can choose whatever you like. Secondly, the thing i like most about it is that it has just enough hint of color without being a lipstick, but enough to give your lips enough color to brighten up your face. 

Somethings that really impressed me were that although it retails for about $7, it comes with a lot of product in the packaging! Mine has lasted me for a couple months and it has barely made a dent! Also, it moisturizes really well! I have pretty dry skin, so when i can have a chap stick that has color but still adds moisturizer, its definately a bonus! 

All in all, i don't really have anything bad to say about this product! Everything about it I love! If any of you are looking for a good chap stick, this is the one! Its perfect for an everyday look when you don't want to look fancy! Running arons or taking a walk around the pond are two examples of places you might want to where this product!

Aussie Instant Freeze Hairspray Review!

Nina and I take ballet together, so when it comes time to put our hair up in to a bun we are always wanting to find new ways to make the process easier. This Aussie Instant Freeze hairspray not only helps with our buns, but you can also use it after curling or straightening as well. 

Nina has EXTREMELY thick hair! When we try to get it up in to a bun it takes about 10 minutes! We have tried gels, moose, sprays, almost everything! We just want a firm enough hold to not feel stressed about our hair falling out! 

With this product you can easily achieve worry-free hair! Its so easy to use and what you are getting for the price that you spend is unbeatable!

Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Facial Wipes Product Review!

Nina and I LOVE Target, so when we saw these Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Facial Wipes we got super excited! This is an organic brand that is one of our absolute faves for drugstore facial care! 

Not only do these wipes remove makeup really easily, but they also don't break sensitive or dry skin out. Once I used a cvs brand facial wipe, and the next week I had bright pink dry patches all over my face! But not with these wipes! 

We have tested these out, and not only do they work really well, but they are all extremely affordable! Check them out because they are amazing!

Sally Hensen Salon Effects Polish Stickers Product Review!

We were in Nina's room the other day and found this pack of Sally Hensen Sallon Effects Zebra nail stickers. So, of course, we decided to apply them! Now keep in mind that these were a couple months old. 

The Actual application of the stickers was fairly easy. You choose which one fits the nail, stick it on, the file off the excess. It can get a bit tricky if you are not careful, but it doesn't require a mastermind. I do suggest having a friend help you out, however. 

The stickers are pretty sticky, put don't let this fool you! If you don't spend enough time rubbing them down onto your nail they wont last long at all! 

Once we finished, they turned out really well! I quite like them! Now, the label says "Salon Effects" but I wouldn't go that far as to say that her hand looked like she went to a salon. It was however, really cool. The variety of patterns that are available is amazing and they are only 10 dollars, and each box comes with 2 sets! They last about a 2 weeks and over all we really like them! 

Renewing Moraccan Argan Oil by Organix Product Review!

Hey Everyone! Violet here! So recently I went to CVS and tried out a new ORGANIX product! Now, this is my favorite drugstore hair product brand, because it is so natural, nourishing, and all there products really do work. 

The product that I bought is called "renewing Moroccan Argan Oil", and it retails for around $8 dollars.

I apply this by adding 3 dollops after I take a shower and it is towel dried, then 3 more after my hair is completely dry. Shampooing or washing any kind of hair in general strips it from its natural and very essential oils and vitamins, so by adding this oil and others like it back in to our hair you will definately notice a difference in how healthy it looks! 

My hair is really frizzy, but like I said, it will work for whatever kind of hair you might have. Over all I just really suggest this product and all Organix brand products in general! They are very high quality and essential to anyone! 

Falsies by Maybelline Mascara Review!

Recently Nina went to Target and purchased the Falsies Maybelline Mascara. When we tried it on together in her bedroom it worked so well, so we thought we would do a review on it! 

The packaging is simple, which is great because the bottle allows you to get the most our of your product. There was quite a lot of stuff in there and I am guessing for everyday use this product would probably last up to several months.

The over all consistency of it was medium-thick which is helpful when you are looking for volume. The one thing I will say which might be a con for some of you is that it is semi clumpy. However, this is what gives it the "falsies" effect. 

For some drugstore mascaras, particularly the clumpier ones, the actual application process is where things can get tricky and messy. This mascara, although being clumpy, is fairly easy to apply and only takes one layer. 

Like all Maybelline mascaras, they really do go above and beyond what you would expect from them for the price you are paying. The over all quality of it is amazing.
