Review and Tutorial: Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette

 

005

I got this Wet n Wild Palette in Comfort Zone a recent swap on makeupalley.com.  I am in so in love with this palette. It was the only eyeshadow I took with me on a weekend trip. It was perfect because I could create neutral looks during the day and then at night I could create a bolder look. The shadows are extremely buttery and pigmented, even the darker colors which sometimes can be very sheer but these were very opaque.  This retails for around $4-5 at most drugstores. I simply am in love with this palette.

Review: Shu Uemura Art of Hair Cleansing Oil Shampoo

 

 

004

Rarely do I review the products from my Birchbox, unless they are really good and I decide to purchase a full size of it.  But this product I was genuine curious about since I’ve never tried a deep cleansing oil shampoo.   Before I get into what I think about this poduct, a little about my hair.  I have very fine, oily hair, but the ends tend to get a little dry from styling.  I usually wash my hair every other day and I use somewhat of a lot of products(ie: heat protectant, hair spray, mousse, ect)

According to Birchbox’s website, this product claims to remove grease, product buildup all while adding body to your hair without making it feel dry or brittle.  Since I have oily hair and do use a lot of product, I thought that I would benefit from this shampoo.  While it didn’t dry my hair out any, I also didn’t notice any difference in if it stripped out any of the oil or product. 

This shampoo is more of an oil and I had to use the entire sample to cover my hair and I have pretty short hair! It makes me wonder how long a full size bottle of this would last.  Full size costs $55 so it might not be worth it. 

Have you tried any good deep cleansing shampoos? Leave a recommendation in a comment below! If you have any products you’d like me to review next, please let me know! Thanks for reading.

Review: Simple’s Makeup Remover Wipes


003
I’ve been super curious about this new skincare line Simple that came over from across the pond.  This line is pretty big, having various cleansers, creams and toners and can be found at Walmart, Target, and many other drugstores. I picked up the makeup remover wipes because I’m always looking for something that out performs my favorite ones from Neutrogena. 
These were about $4, so they cost the same as the Neutrogena wipes.  However they.do not remove my makeup as well as I would like.  I really have to scrub off my eyeliner and mascara(I don’t even use waterproof!). They don’t remove foundation well either.  When I first used them, I thought they did the job, but when I went to cleanse my face, I found lots of product remaining on my face. 

I’ll finish up this pack but then I’m going back to my Neutrogena wipes.
