Makeup Eraser- Is it worth the Hype?!

Picture from my Instagram featuring Makeup Eraser @adrienneroyale 

The title says it all, Makeup Eraser- Is it worth the Hype?! WOW!! Was I ever pleasantly surprised! I first want to start out this blog post with something that I think is very important! I am NOT paid to make this review and was sent this Makeup Eraser from Kmitch Makeup Eraser and only asked to post it on my Instagram @adrienneroyale but as soon as I actually used this I felt I had to make a blog post! I just want to start off by saying this, because I have heard so many mixed reviews and I myself always wonder if the “good ones” are sponsored or paid for. This blog post I can assure you is not, and is my own personal opinion and just keep in mind products work differently for everyone, so just because something works for me it might not for you, or vice versa.

When I was reached out by @beauty rebelz  to try the Makeup Eraser I agreed,  because I have heard so many different reviews, some super good and some horrible and I wanted to try it for myself! The countless ads and videos always intrigued me. Remember, a video on Instagram is only 15 seconds and half of them the girls look like they are tugging at their eyes and it looks like the Makeup Eraser would be painful. I have had friends tell me they love it and some say they hate it and so not worth the money. So, I was super excited to try it and honestly didn’t think it would work or if it did work it would hurt me.

I got my Makeup eraser, took my picture for my Instagram, then washed it, so I would actually be able to use it and see how I liked it The directions state to wash it before using it for the first time. I had all of my makeup on the entire day, I am talking full face- primer, foundation, bronzer, blush, lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara you know tons of makeup like I wear daily (yes, you can call me a cakeface that doesn’t bother me) I wet my Makeup eraser with warm water and I did notice it took quite a while to get the cloth to soak up the water. The directions state to get the cloth drenched so that is just what I did, I think this is the most important step. Making sure the cloth really is really wet. Once I had it drenched and squeezed it out, I started with my eyes and my makeup came off so smooth, it was just like using a makeup wipe. I wiped my entire face using circular motions, paying special attention to my eye area and did go over it a couple of times (I wear a lot of eye makeup so even with a makeup wipe I have to go over it several times). I then flipped over the clothes to the “exfoliate” side and went over my face a couple of more times.

Directions on how to use the Makeup Eraser 

All of my makeup washed off! WHAT?!?!  I couldn’t believe it, I seriously couldn’t! I had to text my husband and friend right away and show them the picture of the cloth because my husband was even more skeptical then I was! He was like “Wow, I didn’t think it would work” my friend Brenda told me I should do a post if I liked it, so that’s exactly what I am doing!  I didn’t have to pull at my eyes and my face didn’t turn red like I thought it would. The cloth is very soft and feels nice on my face. I didn’t experience any type of reaction and have used it twice.

After using the Makeup Eraser back side

I know this retails for $19.97 (website www.kmitchmakeuperaser.com) and the claim is that it helps save money, cut back on non-biodegradable waste and live chemical free. I totally agree with it being chemical free and cutting back on waste. It does save you money not having to buy makeup wipes but you do have to wash it. I personally can’t keep using a dirty cloth time and time again, and I certainly don’t do laundry daily. I used the cloth twice and feel I should wash it now before I use it again. It is a nice sized cloth so if you just want to use a small section at a time it could be used maybe 5 times at most. For me though, I would want to wash it at least every two uses. It is perfect if you can use it a few times and throw it in the load with your towels. Just for myself, I will have to wash it more often then I regularly do my laundry. I read on the website it is good for at least 1000 washes.

Personally, I can’t believe I am saying this but I would pay the $20 for it! I feel like it worked so well and some makeup wipes give me irritation and it gets very costly to always having to buy them. I’m sure I will still use makeup wipes but not every day! Just on the days my makeup eraser isn’t washed and I am being lazy and don’t feel like washing it haha.

After using the Makeup Eraser all of my makeup was off, but my face didn’t feel completely clean and I did wash it afterwards like I normally would with my face wash. This doesn’t bother me because regardless if I was using makeup remover wipes, after I get my makeup off, I always wash my face afterwards. Overall I am so impressed with this little pink cloth and I love it! It is amazing how skeptical I was of this product but ended up loving it and knowing I will continue to keep using it!

Have you used the Makeup Eraser? What are your thoughts? Were you as surprised as I was?!

YSL VoxBox from Influenster- Touche Eclat Blur Perfector and Touche Elcat Blur Primer

makeupmess featuring YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector on my Instagram @adrienneroyale

I finally got my first #VoxBox from @influenster and it was the YSL VoxBox! I received this box for testing purposes and have been using it for the last couple of weeks and felt I could finally make a honest review.  

In my VoxBox I received the YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector and Touche Elcat Blur Primer. Both are in absolute stunning packaging! I love how the Touche Eclat Blur Perfector has the baby pink packaging and both have the gold accents, it makes it look very classy and beautiful! Both of these products you can get at Sephora, the Touche Eclat Blur Perfector retails for $55, and the Touche Elcat Blur Primer retails for $52 for 1oz.

When I first got these two products I was so excited! I love primers and having my skin look flawless! Primers always help me so I am able to start my face by having a clean canvas before beginning my makeup. I was really hoping these two products would be amazing!

I will start off with the Touche Elcat Blur Primer. This primer is intended to prep your skin before you start your makeup with your foundation, powder etc. You put it on before putting on your foundation and this is exactly what I did.  It is said that this primer should help blur your imperfections and I have found this to be true. It is a clear gel like formula and you only need to apply a tiny amount. There was no smell at all and felt velvety on my skin, the primer spreads on evenly and very nicely. It dries quickly and I did not notice any stickiness.

While wearing this primer I noticed that it did make my skin look more even and helped with my foundation application leaving my face look smoother and my pores less visible. I noticed in the bottle it looks like there are little gold specs in the primer but once on the skin I did not look like a sparkly mess and didn’t notice any shimmer. I really enjoy using this primer and it works well. I felt like my skin looked better versus not wearing any primer at all. It lasted all day long but after about 4 hours of wear in-between my eyebrows I did have a lot of shine. My makeup did last longer wearing this primer as it usually does with any primer I wear. I would recommend this primer if you have the $52 dollars to spend on it. I felt it still did not work as well as my Becca or Smashbox primer but would be something I do like to use occasionally, For the price though I don’t see myself wanting to use it every day but more trying to save it. I would rather use my $30 dollar primers for everyday use and save this for special occasions.

Next up is the YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector. This is what I was the most happy to start using since the compact was so absolutely gorgeous! This is a blur perfector the starts off as a balm and dries into a powder. You can you use it a few different ways as it states on the Sephora website “Use it alone as an allover complexion perfector, to set makeup, or as a mattifying touch up to sweep away shine and hide imperfections. Featuring one universal shade that complements all skin types, it instantly minimizes the look of pores so that skin feels smoother and the complexion appears more even.”

I tried it alone and it worked great! It made my skin look and feel so soft and just putting a powder over it made my skin look smooth, matte, and even. Using it this way though just felt more like a primer and I wanted to see what it would be like to use to set my make up or as a touchup while out during the day. 

Using it to set my makeup was a total miss and fail! It was actually disgusting! I did all of my makeup complete with the Touche Elcat Blur Primer, foundation, powder, contour, blush, highlight and all my eye makeup and lipstick. I used the YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector after all of that to “set my makeup” and all it did was breakup my foundation! It was an absolute mess! It looked like chunks of my makeup were missing and kind of like my face looked scaly and uneven. All of the makeup that was on my nose totally broke up and I was left with huge patches of missing makeup! I had to wipe off my face makeup and start the entire process over! Complete and total fail there!

The next day, I was actually quite disgusted with the product.  I didn’t even want to use it but made myself so I could see what it would work like as a touchup throughout the day. I wanted to see if it made my T-Zone matte since in the summer that is where I notice most of my shine. After about 2 hours I noticed some shine so I tried the compact out and it worked pretty well. It did break up a tiny bit on my nose but if I applied more of the product it evened itself out. After about 6 hours my makeup was wearing off a bit and I was shiny, I used the YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector and this is when the product worked perfectly! I had to use quite a bit and blend it but it made my face look way more matte, smooth, and even. I was impressed! It looked like I just finished my makeup! The one thing that I really do not like about the Blur Perfector is how the applicator sponge does not fit into the compact! It is so unsanitary, sure they give you a pouch but that just gets dirty and who wants to carry around the applicator separate in their purse? I really think they should have thought this through. 

So, all in all, I love the Primer but the Blur Perfector is hit or miss. The Primer I have no complaints about and would most likely repurchase. The Blur Perfector works well as a base or if you don’t plan on wearing much makeup throughout the day. Using it to set your makeup just ruined my makeup but waiting until the end of the day to “touch up” my makeup the Blue Perfector was amazing! I don’t see myself repurchasing the Blur Perfector because it works the same as just a setting powder. 

I am really happy and honored I was able to receive these items to try and review! I look forward to reviewing more for Influenster in the future!
