I love reading beauty blogs, but I’ve never thought about becoming a beauty blogger myself. While I enjoy playing with different eye shadows and lip colors, most days I keep my face completely bare.
Still, I think it might be fun to pretend to be a beauty blogger every now and then. Influenster recently sent me three new beauty products to try. I loved all of them so much that I might even start wearing makeup more than once a month!
- EcoTools Complexion Collection Mattifying Finish Brush
- Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate
- Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara created by Kate Moss

I used the EcoTools brush to apply my mineral foundation. I loved how the brush spread an even light coverage of my mineral foundation on my skin. The large fluffy brush felt soft on my skin, and none of the bristles came loose.
I never would have chosen purple lipstick, but I loved this one! The shades are just numbered; they don’t have names. I received #29 to try. This lipstick is creamy, wears well, and lasts a decent time. I did have to reapply after eating a fairly messy meal, but it looks good for hours if not constantly wiping your mouth during lunch.
The Scandaleyes mascara wand has an unusual shape that is supposed to help apply mascara even to the smallest of your lashes. I wasn’t sure at first how to use the wand, but it ended up being really easy. For each eye, I just dipped the applicator into the mascara tube once, but then applied several coats. My eyelashes were ridiculously long and full!
All three of these products are available at at Target! They’re all affordable beauty products, coming in at less than $10 each. The EcoTools brush is around $9. The lipstick is about $6. The mascara is about $7.

I really miss the target beauty aisle!
It’s so dangerous!
The purple lipstick looks good on you! I used to think it would be fun to be a beauty/fashion blogger, except for the constant taking photos and making videos. I don’t even take selfies much (mostly due to the lack of phone and front-facing camera, which I may or may not rectify this summer). But I seriously spend so much money on makeup for someone who rarely wears it!
Aw, thank you! I agree. 😉
I’m totally with you on the pictures and videos. I do take selfies, but “iphone” photos aren’t “good enough” to be a “real” beauty blogger. I stick with so many similar products that I would run out of stuff to review eventually. I do love my hair and skin products, though. I spend more money on all that stuff than I do on makeup!
I still own way too much makeup for how rarely I wear it. Aka we’re yet again the same person.
Oh definitely. I spend even more on hair and skincare stuff than I do on makeup!
I need to learn more about makeup. I don’t really wear it, but it’s been suggested that I would look more professional with it on. I love that these are all available at my favorite store though!
I am also not a makeup wearer usually but it is fun to dress up and get made up every once and a while! I really like the purple lipstick on you! Thanks for joining the Link-It To Me Link Up Party this week! I hope you will party with us next week!
