Beauty Nopes! Elf Poreless Face Primer

This is week 3 of the Beauty Nopes posts! I started this portion of my blog because I wanted to make sure I give you well rounded opinions of products I have been using. Not every product works the same for each person purchasing it and a lot of the products that make it onto the Nope list come from amazing brands with tons of wonderful products!

Elf is one of my absolute favorite well priced brands with great brushes, a promising skin care line, and brow products that I can't seem to get my hands on! As I was preparing a look comprised of all drugstore products, I found the Poreless Face Primer for $6, I excitedly tried this under my Maybelline Fitme Matte + Poreless Foundation. Applying the primer to my face I noticed a faint smell of tea tree, which I thought was weird but didn't necessarily mind it. Normally when I do looks at night, I will wear makeup for about 2-3 hours before going to bed. This obviously does not allow time to review of a product. To give it a fair shot, I used it for a few days over the span of a weekend, and had the worst results. My makeup started to separate after a few hours and my skin looked like a grease ball before noon. Not ok, when I have to be at work until 3PM. My nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin were the shiniest areas on my face after about 4 hours. It felt like I could actually feel my makeup moving around. All I wanted to do was take it all off, but couldn't. This is about the time where I started carrying extra makeup wipes with me at all times, which is especially helpful when tattooing my arms in swatches at Ulta or Sephora. Either way, if you are looking for a poreless primer for a drugstore price, please look elsewhere! If you have any suggestions for drugstore primers, please let me know!! I'm still on the hunt for some good ones! Tweet me at k_pineapple1 with your thoughts!


I hope you guys are enjoying this series! If I happen to include something that is your favorite, please do not take it to heart! We all have different skin types, body types, and opinions. That's why the makeup industry keeps on growing, we want more! Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for next week's Beauty Nopes!

March Madness Challenge

I decided I need to make changes in my life. After reading a lot of blogs and spending hours on YouTube, I learned in order to look and feel healthier there is one thing holding me back. This thing I reach for instantly when I wake up. I consume it every day with almost every meal, and in some instances it is the only thing I drink all day. It is my perfect snack. Something I've never left a Wawa without. This crutch that I have given myself over the years is Coca-Cola. I live and breathe the white wave on the front of every bottle. I love the polar bears and own the plush versions of them in two out of the three sizes. I collect Mycokerewards from roommates, friends, family and coworkers. I can rattle off random information about the soda and the company as a whole. My dream kitchen has a retro feel with Coca-Cola accents. And the Coca-Cola Santa is the real Santa. I am an addict. I am addicted to the carbonation tickling my tongue and giving me the everlasting joy I seek in a

Where I've been for 2.5 years

Hey there! I’d like to reintroduce myself, I’m Krystal and welcome to my blog! I am now 28 and still living in the West Chester area with my boyfriend and fur babies (we’ve added another kitty, Callie, to the family since my last post J ). I’m totally still obsessed with binge watching TV shows and keeping my positivity up when I can. Writing has been such a huge part of my life since high school. It was my creative outlet until college where I felt put in a box without being able to speak my truth through each key stroke. So it seemed I needed a purpose for every perfectly structured sentence and I found that I couldn’t perform creatively under those circumstances. I needed an unrefined and unrestricted flow and this is where I found myself. At first, I started blogging to share my wellness journey that I didn’t even realize at the time was the beginning. I wanted to challenge myself to stop drinking Coke and I did it. I shared how drinking more water and no soda started cha

New Years Resolution for 2016

A new year entitles us all to a new beginning. As the year ends, most people like to set new goals and aspirations to make the next year better than the one before and to improve themselves. Last year, I challenged myself to stop drinking soda, something that I am absolutely in love with. Those 30 days were such a struggle and I gained so much support in the process. I have gone back to drinking soda only because the other drinks I replaced it with had just as much sugar, if not more. Now, I honestly drink a lot less. In one night Nick and I could finish off a 12 pack and still need more, whereas now the same amount can last us weeks. I am proud of myself for the progress I’ve made with soda in less than a year. Although I believe I could be healthier, I have decided to take this year to not focus on my appearance. This might sound crazy coming from someone who blogs about using makeup and posts selfies at least once a week, but I like to look at makeup as clothing. I have cloth
