e.l.f. Studio Volume Plumping Mascara Review

Bonjour, mes amis! Como estas? (Like my language switching? ;)) Today I have e.l.f.'s Volume Plumping mascara for y'all. I mentioned this in my haul video, which you can check out here. (Yes, I am shamelessly self promoting my video. Deal with it.) Anyways, let's get back on track... According to e.l.f.'s website, this mascara "coats lashes from root to tip for an intense and dramatic effect" and its "vitamin B rich formula conditions and strengthens for visibly healthier looking lashes". Wow. e.l.f.'s setting the bar pretty low. I like! Let's see how it performs... 

Before

W/ 2 coats

This mascara really impressed me. It was only $3 at Target, which is a total steal! The brush isn't too big, but some might find it cumbersome- especially those who don't like the Lashblast/Diorshow style brushes. I don't own either of those, so I can't show a size difference, but I do not think it's as big as those. You won't find tons of volume here, but there is some, and there is definitely added length. I wouldn't say it has an "intense and dramatic" effect- but I think it lives up to all of its other claims. There is little to no smudging, and zero flaking when worn for a full day (we're talking 10 or more hours). 

Bottom Line:

If you're looking for a simple, everyday mascara that enhances your eyelashes, but aren't looking for tons of volume and length, this mascara is for you! It's cheap and performs well, what more could you want? In fact, I may have found my drugstore dupe of Bobbi Brown's Everything mascara, which I already reviewed here. :D If you guys want, I can do a post comparing the two. 

Until next time!

e.l.f. Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter

Finally, a non mascara post! :D I'll be reviewing the e.l.f. Studio Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter. Quite a mouthful! I already gave my opinion of this in my haul video, which you can watch here, if you haven't already. This concealer claims to "correct under eye problematic areas such as dark circles and bags easily and effectively", according to e.l.f.'s website. It has vitamins A & E chamomile, caffeine and green tea to "moisturize, soothe, and tighten the skin around the delicate eye area". The highlighter is supposed to brighten up the eye area.

e.l.f. is on Hautelook today!

Hi! This is just to let you guys know, if you're interested, that e.l.f. is on Hautelook today. Hautelook is a site where they have flash sales of tons of different brands- from kids' toys to makeup. You can click this: http://www.hautelook.com/short/3Fi13 , which is a invite link from me, to join Hautelook. Personally, I think e.l.f. being on Hautelook is a little ridiculous, seeing as they're so cheap already, but they do have a few good things going, such as their 11 piece brush set, marked down to $19. Also, Orly is on right now, so it's taking all of my self control to not buy anything. XD Anyways, I hope you guys found my babbling helpful/interesting... I'll have some reviews up later today!
