DeInfluencing
We all have been influenced by all the beauty trends that are constantly rotating online. I hope my review can give you all insight into what products are really worth it.
Elf Halo Glow Blush ($9.00): This blush gives me the perfect glow while also having pigment. It blends out beautifully and I love the color. However, the tube is really small.
Glossier Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick ($18): I have been obsessed with Glossier ever since the lipgloss was trending, so when I got these I was so happy. I was expecting a natural tint and that is exactly what I got. It’s very natural but the color is buildable if you want more coverage. My favorite shade is fuzz, which is the perfect soft taupe shade. However, the lipsticks can be drying and the cap for one of my lipsticks does not close. They are also expensive for lipsticks that are minimal coverage.
Elf Putty Bronzer ($6): I love the elf putty blush so I thought I would give the bronzer a try, but it isn’t something I would buy again. It doesn’t have a lot of pigment and I have to use a lot to see any color.
Essence Lash Princess ($4.99): When I saw how cheap this mascara is I just had to try it. It makes my lashes super long and it holds a curl, but it smudges everywhere throughout the day. By the end of the day all the mascara is all over my under eyes.
Elf hydrating camo concealer ($7.00): When I first tried this concealer I loved it, but as time went on I realized that it was cakey and pilled. It has amazing coverage and a little goes a long way, but it really emphasizes my skin texture.
In the world of makeup, trends come and go, and not every product lives up to the hype. The practice of 'deinfluencing' encourages consumers to critically assess beauty products that have become overly commercialized. This review highlights several items, including the Elf Halo Glow Blush, a popular choice for a radiant complexion. Despite its small tube, many users praise its blendability and glow. Another highlight is the Glossier Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick, which offers a natural finish and buildable color, yet some users find it drying. The Elf Putty Bronzer, while initially appealing, may disappoint those seeking pigmentation. Equally, the Essence Lash Princess mascara, known for its affordability, delivers length but can lead to smudging by day’s end. Furthermore, the Elf Hydrating Camo Concealer features superb coverage but has been noted for its tendency to cake and accentuate skin texture over time. Each of these products offers insights into what works in the current beauty landscape and serves as a reminder to approach beauty trends with a critical eye.
