Winter Lip Savers !!!!!
Hello bloggers, it's been a while since my last post huh??? I've been so busy with life and with class, but anyways I'm back to blogging again. Let's get started shall we?.
So it's officially freezing here in jersey, and I absolutely hate winter and what it does to my skin. I've been slathered on lotion and face cream and lip balm like crazy in the past two months !!!!!! My skin gets do dry but not as bad as my lip. I swear in the past two months I've tried every lip balm there is in Target (-_-) and Walmart, and Sephora.!!! My lip are like a desert island in the mid of summer. So dry, crack and peel like crazy. I am very OCD about my lip not being soft and smooth, like I refuse to do anything before I can get all those skin that are peeling off my lip off my lip ?? I am very particular about my lip products. I f it has glitters or sparkles or anything grainy in texture to it, I will go far far away from them. I know a lo of people don't mind it, but definitely not me. A few months back I got my hand on Sara Happ Lip slip, And I absolutely loves it. I tried her lip scrub too and it was also oh-so-fabulous// First of all, I'm a sucker for cute packaging, and this caught my eyes the moment I saw it. It come in a cute little gold box with a bow on it. I mean how can you not get a balm with a BOW on it.... soo adorable. When I open the jar there was a pinky balm with lots of sparkles staring right at me and I though Oh, it has a sparkles in it, will it be gritty in texture?? I was horrified....but a girl got to do what a girl got to do. So I wash my hand and dip my finger in the balm and to my surprised.... it was a soft, creamy balm. I thought it was gonna be hard in texture like many of lip balm in a pots and jars. Like imagine MAC tinted Lip cond. or Smith Rosebud salve.. I was expecting something like that. But noo this was so soft and creamy.. like how to I explain it.. you know how when you dip your finger in a tub of vaseline.. it was even MORE soft and creamy than that... wayyy more.. almost like a very thick body cream that kind of texture. So I went ahead and spread it all over my lip, and it was so smoothhhhhh. No gritty or grainy texture at all.. a tad sticky like a lip gloss as well. It has a slight sheen to it so you can wear it as a lip gloss as well. The staying power of this is above and beyond. It will last me through my morning coffee and lunch.. and beyond. It last so long and it keep my lip nice and soft throughout the day. Despite the $25.00 price tag. I would buy this again and again.
Another one of my favourites lip balm of all time is this Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment
It has the most amazing smell, it like sweet lemony scented. And again the screw cap ensure that it will never fall out in my purse which is a plus<-_-> I use this everyday, and I have to stop myself from reaching for this every couple hours or so. This as I already mention has the most incredible smell, and the fact that they come in a swival tube makes it a breeze to apply in a hurry. Be careful though, twisted up gently, since the balm itself is soooo soft and creamy, if you're not careful you can easily break them in just a simple twist..Do not put these cuties in your pocket or leave them in your car in the summer cuz it will melt like crazy in a flash. I used up this lip balm very very quickly. I think it's because the texture is so soft that it so easy to over apply them, sometimes I purposely ovet apply them cuz they're such a indulgence. I loves everything about this balm, the packaging, the smell, the spf, the fact that it has no color, did I mention the scent??? The only thing I'm not crazy about is the price tag, This will set you back $24.00 or so.. That's why I have to fight the urge to apply this very often. Foe the sake of my skinny limpy wallet....
And yet another one of my faves is absolutely Kiehl's #1 lip balm. This ome I admitt it's just look and feel like vaseline for double the price. But come on this one is one of my very first lip balm that I have ever bought that cost over 5 dollars. And must I say, it worth every pennies, I own a lots of these, and my very first one that I bought a year and a half ago is still going strong. Last me forever and ever, They comes out with a couple more scents now I think, like mango, mint, cranberry and etc. However, my favourite is the original unscented one. It's come in a squeeze tube which is easy to take with you, the one thing that bothers me though is that the tube does not have a slanted tip!! so I usually squeeze some on my finger tip and just apply it on my lip. I believe these are $7.00 or so,will last you forever and keep your lip nice and moisturize for a long time.Give this a try and you will love them too
OK so much about the ones I love, now let's go to the one I don't care about so much. Let's talk about this Blistex Natural Cooling Comfort lip balm. I bought this one cuz it was on sale @ Harmon for like 99 cents or so, and I'm glad that it was only a dollar. This smell nice and I went gaga over the slanted tip. I mean it was the perfect slanted tip for me, it fit my lip perfectly. But despite the tip, nothing else impress me at all. When I squeeze this on my lip I though eeww, is this a mistake??? like did I got a bad one from the batch??? or did I not read the lable clearly?? I mean the texture of this is like a facial scrub!!!! It was so grainy ang gritty that I had to reach for the lable and read it again if this was suppose to be a lip scrub or what the hell is this stuff on my lip?????? So I read them again and again but noo, it was not a scrub, it was suppose to be a lip balm.. but but how can one use this grainy stuff as a balm??? I was so confuse and horrified. I mean I could use this as a scrub... and no way in hell I could have EVER thing of using a scrub as a balm, no one in their right mind do that...So just that one little squeeze and there go the tube in the trash. End of the story.....

My numero uno facial scrub.... <3
Happy Holiday everyone. It's the most wonderful time of the year ain't it??? of course it is,especially with all of the cosmetics brands are coming out with their holiday collections. All are very delectable...my wish list is getting longer and longer by the minutes hahaha!!!! So this saturday Lord and Taylor will have a gift with purchase for Clinique.. I am usually does not get real excited about Clinique GWP since I don't really use much of their products EXCEPT one which is the Clinique Exfoling Scrub. Honestly I must say that this is posibly the most agrassive face scrub I've ever encounter with in a long long time.I know a lot of people can not use this one especially if you have a sensitive skin but since I have oily skin I can see the potential in this one.The texture of this is very grainy and very scrub-y. I usually dampen my face a bit before I put this one on. It also had kind of minty smell to it which I absolutely hate at first but came to love it as I continue using them :-) I usually use them in the morning because the minty scent really wakes me up real good. So I dampen my face, squeeze a pea size of the scrub on to the back of my hand and with my finger tip spread it out and massage it in the circular motions around my entire face. Then rinse it out with water and follow with your regular skincare routine. This scrub had left my face very soft and smooth. And let me tell you, I haven't break out ever since I use this exfoliator and I have been using this one at the beginning of the year!!! I use it once every 2 days, and it last a long long times for me since I only need a tiny bit of it at the time. It is $18.00 for 3.4 oz. tube which is not bad compare to the result. Again don't use them if you have sensitive skin. This is the real deal exfoliator.. Happy Christmas Shopping Everybody <3

BOBBI BROWN FOR THE HOLIDAYS....<3 <3 <3
I don't know what, where, when, or how I got started with Bobbi Brown, but I've been hooked ever since..I think my first love affair with Bobbi Brown was probably her lipstick. My very first lipstivk that i got from Bobbi Brown was from her permanent line called Tulle Brown. And I loved it so much that I was willing to try more Bobbi Brown products. Did I know what I was getting into (and my skinny bank account too!!!) That lipstick was the perfect color for me, I used them everyday, several times a day, not that it didn't last,it just that I love how smooth and creamy it glided on my lip!!!!. Then as I ventured into the brand I have tried a lot of Bobbi products, I come to a conclusion that Bobbi Brown is my new favorite brand... Every thing just seem to works for me. I am a makeup whore and I do own tons and tons of makeup, yet I tend to go for a natural and simple look a lot, and that is exacttly the Bobbi Brown concept for her make up line. Something simple yet elegance, Easy yet beautiful..I think her makeup is so timeless, It can never be "out" because this is the kind of makeup that you can use everyday, the color seem very basic and boring at first. because I love NARS, and as you know NARS have a lot of colors, and when it came to Bobbi Brown, In was like nahh everything look the same!!! seem like all of the color are so plain and boring. Is this for a more mature people?? But I tried it anyways, and was I wrong. The formular and color are very very easy to wear, Anyone can wear it, no hard tricks or techniques or how to guide that you need to learn. Just use your hand and VOILLA!!!! done!!
- Bobbi Brown cane out with her holidays collections for 2009, and it was all so georgeous that I had to stop myself from getting all of them for the sake of my wallet!!! But anyways I got my hands on this Earth Metal Eyes and Lip palette. This one retail for $60.00!!! but I got it for less thanks to lord and taylor friend and family sale<3 This palette contain 6 eyes shadows
- Autumm Shimmer wash
- Earth Metal Metallic
- Zinc Metallic
- Black Spruce Metallic (my fave!!)
- Sunset Gold Metallic
- Antique Gold Metallic
I think all of the eyes shadows are stunning beautiful, especially the Black Spruce, I like to use it on my outer v to darken up my look, and it perfect. I think the shadows have a gppd amount of pigmentation to them, it stay on and it it not messy and powdery everywhere, whic is a plus :-) As for the lips..... not as exciting as the eyes, I personally not really a big fan of lip palette, because the color that you get in the palette are not as pigmented as the original, and it not convenience to use for girl on the go like me. I need to use a seperate lip brusdh for them, which sometimes I don't have the times for. But the color in this palette is very pretty and a bit too sheer for me. but I love it anyways <3.....The colors are.....................................................
Paisley Rose Creamy lip color
Rose Garden Creamy lip color (my fave!!!!)
Rosebud Creamy lip color
Barefoot Shimmer Creamy lip color
All in all I ewally like this palette, The packaging is very sleek as of all Bobbi Brown procusts. The price is a little on the high side, but I think it worth it.
