10 under $10

I've seen a few 10 under $10 video vlogs on YouTube so I thought I would do my own blog version. Basically these are 10 beauty & skin products that I have been using lately and they are all $10 or under . It was kinda hard to narrow it down and pick 10 products that are under $10 that I would recommend to someone and that I would buy again but heres my list and its in no particular order. Enjoy (:


                          1- Juice Organics Pomwash exfoliating facial foam $9.99 for a 5oz bottle.
This is an organic product made by Juice Beauty. It smells amazing and leaves my face so clean and blemish free. I had never heard of this brand and randomly picked it up to try and now I can't wait to try more of their products !!

2 - Wet N Wild Coloricon bronzer $3.99 (I use Ticket to Brazil)
I use this for an all over bronzer or to contour. It stays all day & night without having to reapply and its matte so no sparkly fake looking tan...and also no orangish color just beautiful bronze skin. I will keep using this until they no longer make it because why would I spend $20+ on "name brand" bronzers when this stuff is perfectly amazing.
 
3- Maybelline Cover Stick in corrective Yellow - $6.49
This is thick enough to cover my under eye circles and it blends super easy. I wish I could find it with the wand applicator instead of this lipstick look because I break it and smoosh it in the top of the lid no matter how hard I try not too :( but I will continue to use it because it works wonders and stays put and really the stick version isn't horrible.
 
4 - Hard Candy's Fox in a Box blush - Spicy & Sweet - $6
I've said this before that this is the perfect blush. It has 4 shades the can be used alone or swirled together. I preferred swirled (: and it looks good on any skin tone.
 
5 -  L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes mascara in carbon black - $7
I've used this mascara alone all week and LOVED the look it gave me without having to layer it with other mascaras . YAYY. It doesn't flake off or get smudgy or clumpy. Can you say Keeper?
 
 
6 - E.L.F. 3 in 1 Mascara (Length, Define & Volumize) -$3.99
Since mascara is my fave product of course I have two in my 10U10! I love the brush on this mascara the little ball on the end makes it so easy to get those hard to reach corner lashes and the mascara is pretty great itself . No clumpy flakey mascara here !
 
7 - Hawaiian Tropic After Sun moisturizer in Lime Coolada - $6.39
 It has soothing aloe and moisturizing shea & cocoa butter so it keeps my skin smooth after a day in the sun and the summery scent smells amazing.
 
 
8 - NYX Matte Finish setting spray - $7.99
A light mist over my make up keeps my whole face in place for the day. Seriously. I wear this stuff to everyday and I have a flawless face all day. I also wear this while on the boat fishing out in the sun & water and my make up still stays and still looks fabulous.
 
 
 
9 - Maybelline Baby Lips moisturizing lip balm - $3.29 each
moisturizing tinted lip balm with spf 20. perfect for summer. fun bright colors in a tinted form that make your pout perfectly soft & kissable. they smell yummy too! I keep one in each bag and beach bag so I always have one on hand.
 
 
 
10- Huggies Wipes, Cucumber & Green Tea - 64 count - $2.99
Before I wash my face with my Pomwash or when I'm being lazy and don't feel like properly taking my make up off with my face wash I use baby wipes to remove my make up. They are cheaper than "make up remover wipes" aka the SAME thing you get wayyy more for your money going this route .
 
Hope you guys enjoyed my 10 under 10 and maybe this will help you guys out !

Recent Haul Review

I've been using these products all week 1. Because I wanted to bring you guys a review ASAP 2. Because I was so excited to use all of these new products so I abandoned most of my regulars so that I could see how they all worked. Most of them impressed me but I hate to say it some did not .


                               NYX stay matte but not flat liquid foundation in Ivory $7.50 NYX Cosmetics

I've been using this foundation all week & I even tried it out on Kristen. I hate it. The color goes on way lighter than it looks. Its defiantly not full coverage. I had to pack this stuff on & still could not get it to cover anything I ended up using my glamoflauge concealer in the places that this stuff didn't cover. As soon as it went on my face it completely dried it out. It made dry patches on my skin. I was really disappointed in this foundation. I used this on a bare face, a primed face & a freshly moisturized face. It still did not help  this foundation. Maybe I can find someone who has the right skin type for this foundation? I don't know but it defiantly did NOT work for me.

NYX stay matte but not flat HD powder foundation in Nude $9.50 NYX Cosmetics

The packaging is super sleek & classy. It was love at first sight. When you first feel the powder its super soft and it gives off just enough sheer color. It covers well if you want to wear it without foundation but it also works great as setting a foundation and creating a matte flawless look. Unlike the liquid foundation with the same name this stuff is the BEST! I had been using the Rimmel Stay Matte powder and while I still like it the NYX powder goes that extra mile and makes me look a little more flawless and keeps the shine at bay a little longer. Its not as translucent as my Rimmel powder but I love it and it doesn't change the color of my foundation but instead compliments it. This will defiantly be a keeper in my book !
 
 
Milani Baked Blush in Berry Amore $8.99 @ CVS
 
I bought this because I have been looking for a go to blush and look how beautiful this is. It's a deep rose with gold shimmer marbled in. I use it with a lot of my looks. It goes on smooth and is a very beautiful color that is easy to layer so that you can build it . I've worn it alone  & mixed with other blushes. I like it. I don't think it will be my "go to" blush but I will keep using it when I need to add some shimmer to my cheeks.
 
Maybelline FIT Me concealer $5.49 @ Target
 
I was really excited to try something else from the FIT collection since trying the foundation . I haven't actually used this concealer with another FIT product because this time of year (summer in Florida) my face is oily enough but I'm sure during the winter when my face is a little more dry I will be going back to my FIT foundation . But I do love this concealer for year around use. It doesn't make my skin oily and it covers great !! I have concealers that I've been using and loving but they are all the kind that I have to apply with my finger and I was really looking for a good one with a wand applicator. They offer these in a wide range of colors so that everyone is sure to find a match and its a full coverage and has a nice thick consistency but not too thick that it cakes up. I've used it on breakouts, redness, under eyes & just about any skin dilemma you may be trying to cover and I love it. Stays on for hours at a time. Will defiantly be keeping this around for a while !
 
Hard Candy's Fox in a Box blush in Spicy & Sweet $6 at Walmart
 
I have found the Blush of my dreams people ! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this blush. When I went to the store they had a few to pick from one with more pinks and another with more oranges and tans, I choose this one because it seemed to have a good balance of the pinks & tans. I defiantly want to try them all ! I think the packaging is super cute & I love the box idea versus just a plastic container and then you open it up and there are 4 beautiful colored blushes. You could probably just use the pinks or just use the tans if you wanted but I swirl them all together and its this beautiful glowing blush on my cheeks that last all day . I had used it a couple times when I took this picture and you can't even tell its been used which I was glad because I did not want to ruin how pretty it was. For $6 bucks you can't go wrong . There is a lot of product in there it will be awhile before I hit pan on this one and I feel like this would compliment anyone's skin tone you could use more pink or more tan or do as I do and swirl them altogether. I will be buying this product again & again . I'm also super excited to check out the other colors they offer !
 
This is just a better look into the box. The tannish orange & golden tan color on top and the baby pink and rose pink on the bottom. FYI: It does come with a cute pink brush but I do not use it I use a large fluffy brush to apply my blush.
 
L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara $7.00 @ Walmart
I usually combine a few different mascaras to get the look I want so its very rare that I find a mascara that I can use by itself that gives me the long full lashes that I want. I've used the million lashes all week and I'm hooked ! I love how the brush separates each lash individually and makes them long and clump free. This mascara last all day even after I'm home from work. It hasn't smudged or ran. This is a keeper for sure that I think everyone should try.

Beauty Haul 6-17-13


These are some things I picked up yesterday mostly drugstore but I did pick up the NYX at a department store. I am beyond excited to start using these asap !! I picked up the Clearasil acne clearing gel while I don't have bad skin I do have the occasional breakout . The FIT concealer because I've heard amazing things about it and I love the FIT collection by Maybelline ! I used to use the Maybelline Great Lash mascara a while back and I liked it, well at Wal-Mart they had the 2 pack on sale for $5 !!!!! Do we really think I was going to pass that up? Um no!!! I'm still on the hunt for a blush that I absolutely love so Hard Candy's Fox in a Box is my next contender. As I've said before I LOVE the NYX setting spray so I decided to try the NYX foundation & powder (yayy!) and last but not least I've had the Loreal Million Lashes mascara on my -to get- list for a while and I really like the shiny gold packaging! lol. & some super good news... I've recently gotten on the Ipsy make up subscription list so I will be blog reviewing my bag of goodies each month and I could not be more excited !!!
