Drugstore Mascara Showdown | Maybelline Lash Sensational vs. Full ‘N Soft

I compare these top 2 mascaras from Maybelline: the Lash Sensational & the Full N Soft. They both retail for around $8, but can be found for $4.50-5 on Amazon & at most drugstores & supermarkets. I show all of the pros (length, volume, longevity, ease of use) & the cons (flaking, fall out, droopy lashes, & packaging fails). There is a clear winner at the end, & it might be my new favorite drugstore mascara. I apply both of the mascaras on camera & perform an all-day wear test to check for fall out & flaking. Have you tried these mascaras before? Let us know below!

How to Shave Your Face | Should You Dermaplane at Home?

I show you step by step how to shave your face, or dermaplane, at home quickly, easily, & inexpensively! I use Tinkle brand razors specifically made for your face that you can find at your local drugstore, supermarket, or Amazon for less than $1 each. Mine usually last several full-face shaves before dulling. I recommend using a gentle cleanser before shaving and a mild moisturizer after. I try to avoid harsh acids, peels, & retinols directly after shaving. I use short, smooth, downward strokes all around my face working from my ears to my mouth, taking special care around my eyebrows! I’ve never cut myself using these gentle razors, but be very careful, especially around your eyes and mouth. If you only notice hair growth where sideburns or a moustache would be, you can just shave those- you definitely don’t have to shave your whole face. I typically follow this routine 1-2 times per month because women’s facial hair tends to grow much slower than leg, bikini, or armpit hair. Have you ever shaved your face? Let me know below 🙂

How to Cover Dark Under Eye Circles with Red Lipstick | Does It Work?

Watch me perform a side-by-side comparison using red lipstick as an under eye concealer versus using concealer alone. I was actually really surprised at the results! Plus, I take you to school to teach you about the color wheel & why you should use an orange/red concealer. I apply my Nyx red liquid lipstick to one eye & cover it with my Tarte Shape Tape & then I only apply the Shape Tape to the other eye. I even asked my husband which one looked better- stay tuned for his answer toward the end. All you need for this tutorial is a red lipstick & some full-coverage concealer or foundation. *Heads up: I’ve only used cream lipsticks for this little trick before this video & the Nyx liquid lipstick shown irritated my under eye area, so I would recommend using a cream lipstick instead of a liquid formula when you try this at home 🙂 I used a stippling brush & makeup sponge, but these are completely optional. I would have preferred a more orange/peach red, but I simply didn’t have that exact color, but I feel that the red that I used worked pretty well! Have you ever tried using red lipstick as undereye concealer before?

How to Refresh Your Sweaty Gym Hair Without Washing It

I show you how to completely freshen up your greasy, sweaty workout hair without washing it. This is a great technique for not only gym days but also for days at the beach, picnics, amusement parks, etc. You only need dry shampoo and a hair dryer for this super quick & easy tutorial. I show you step by step how to go from wet, greasy mess to refreshed, shiny, & ready to go out. At the end I also show you how to create a last-minute messy bun as a last ditch effort in case you can’t get anything else to work with your hair. Plus, I actually worked out (running, lunges, & squats) before shooting this video so I could show you how to work with actual sweat! I’d love to hear your techniques for feeling & looking fresh after your workouts in the comments below!
