Hi everyone! I have decided that I am going to do a weekly
ritual highlighting some of my favorite products of the week… and some I did
not like so much. I will do a mini review with each and as always if you want
to see a more in-depth review just let me know!
“Get it girl” products
Burts Bee’s 100% natural tinted lip balm in hibiscus has
been a staple for me this week. I am a total lipstick kind of gal but lately my
lips have been chapped and flakey. This lip balm conditions while adding the
perfect color. It is a medium rose color that adds that “my lips but better
effect.” This is comparable to the Revlon lip butters but definitely more
conditioning. It is around 8 dollars and can be found at drugstores.
Aveeno Smart Essentials nighttime moisture infusion is my
night cream of choice currently. It has a pleasant smell which I thoroughly
enjoy because no one likes smelling like a perfume store. This cream is not too
heavy for my skin and soaks in very easily without leaving me feeling greasy.
It is loaded with vitamins and antioxidants that work during the night while my
skin is regenerating. I have acne prone skin and have not suffered any
breakouts from this product. In the morning I find my face has a slight glow
and I thank this nighttime cream for it. It is around $12.00 and can be found
at drugstores.
Anastasia Brow Powder duo in medium brown is my latest
eyebrow obsession. This powder makes filling in my eyebrows a piece of cake! I
simple use a slanted eyeliner brush and this powder to create the perfect
brows. I unfortunately have one eye brow longer than the other due to a
terrible waxing job (Nightmares still occur) but with this powder it is
impossible to notice. Since it is a duo the shades can be mixed together to
create the perfect color. I recommend this for girls who have not had much
experience in filling in their brows. It runs $22.00 at Sephora but this powder
will last me for months and months.
“NO WAY GIRL” products
Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush was a total and complete fail for
me. I purchased this blush in the shade orchid hush, which in the package looks
gorgeous. It’s a blue-toned pink that appears slightly violet in the pan. First
of all the texture of this blush is just plain WEIRD. It is literally bouncy.
It feels like a powder/gel/cream all in one… and no this isn’t a good thing. I
had to wipe my fingers over the blush several times before I got any color pay
off. It did not show up at all on my slightly pale skin which says something.
While I do applaud Maybelline for all of the beautiful blush colors, the
texture is too difficult to work with making this product not user-friendly and
just kind of awkward. I think it was around 8 dollars at the drugstore but I
don’t want to officially check to find out how much I wasted on it.
This was my only miss of the week which makes me a very
happy girl!
Until Next time..Xo
