Daisy's June Fanvorites 2013


Welcome to the end of June and I'm here to bring you all my favorites of the month. June has been a pretty laid back month for me ever since school has ended in May and I've finished my freshman year at college. I have been buying new products here and there but I haven't tried them enough to really know if it was a favorite or not. So, I've been rediscovering some oldie but goodies makeup items in my collection. In the picture above are some beauty and non-beauty favorites that I was able to take a picture of and I will be mentioning some favorites that I could not photograph. Click on read more to check out what I have been loving for this month!

Review: Almay Smart Shade CC Cream & Mousse Makeup


I decided to go out on a whim (well because I got a $2 off coupon for Almay products at Target) and splurge on two new Almay face products from their smart shade line called the Almay Smart Shade CC Cream and the Almay Smart Shade Mousse Makeup. And let me just tell you, Almay isn't a cheap drugstore product. The CC Cream retails for $8.49 at Target and the Mousse Makeup is priced at $11.99. So let's get on to some swatches.

Review: Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm


On the same day that I purchased the new L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder foundation I also decided to pick up the Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm. I saw it in the Almay section of the makeup aisle and I contemplated whether or not I should buy it. At first glance I knew I was attracted to the packaging and the colors. So I decided why not give it a go since I had some preconceptions about it from other viewers. My mistake out of all this was that I thought it was a liquid lipstick, not a liquid lipbalm. So, when I went home to try it out I was super disappointed at the pigmentation and then proceeded to thoroughly read its description on the lip product itself. I felt so stupid and wondered where the heck did I hear that this was a liquid lipstick?! With a fresh new mindset, I proceeded on with my review. Here's swatches of the colors that I got. 

First Impressions: The Falsies Big Eyes Volum' Express Mascara




This is my first impressions review on a recently released mascara. Maybelline has a reputation of releasing great mascaras, such as the regular Falsies and Great Lash mascaras. I picked up this mascara at Target, because I thought this presented an intriguing concept. It is an ingenious concept to put two types of mascara wands in one package. So I figured, why not. I have the color Very Black in the Waterproof version. 

"Innovation: Our first dual-ended brush for a captivating eye-opening false lash effect:
1. Upper-lashes brush: pushes lashes up and wide
2. Lower-lashes mini brush: grabs and coats every tiny lash"

Review: L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder


I went to Target the other day and just like any makeup obsessed person, I was browsing through the makeup aisle not expecting to buy anything. But this is the downfall of all makeup lovers out there because in reality you will buy something new, regardless if it was in your budget or not. And that product for me is the L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder. It was perched high on the L'oreal section shelf and I was only able to find it after doing a couple rounds around the makeup aisle. I was excited because I had not heard about this product anywhere and I immediately picked it up. Now it comes in around 12 shades with a decent color range from light to dark tan and it was easy for me to find my shade. The price was fairly reasonable at $10.99. So let's check out some swatches.

Review & Swatches: Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquers


First off, I would like to say that I am ecstatic that this is the first product review of our blog! This product has been within my makeup radar for quite a while, considering that this product was released earlier this year in the UK. In the UK, this product is called “Apocalips,” which is frankly a much better name than “Show Off.” The Show Off Lip Lacquers have very liquid-y textures, however they all deliver full opacity once you swipe them on your lips with its doe-foot applicator. The applicators deposit the perfect amount of product. Here, we have 5 of the 14 shades to review.

Consenescere is defined as to "grow old and gray together". Our friend, Danielle found us this word while we were trying to come up with a name for this blog. We liked the name so much we wanted to make a page dedicated to our memories and any of our journeys in life to record here on the blog.
