Lip Care Collection

Today's Blog post is the start of a series of Blogs focusing on my makeup collection. I have decided to do it within multiple Blog posts because one post would ne way too long. I do not by any means have a huge makeup collection but I do have more than just a makeup bag full. The first part of the seires is going to focus on what I am going to call Lip Care. This includes EOS, Baby Lips, Burt's Bees, Nivea, Chapstick, Essence Kiss, Care, Love Balm, as well as some odds and ends.

 

This is my EOS collection. I am going to list the flavors from left to right, top to bottom. Blueberry Acai, Stawberry Sorbet, Summer Fruit, Honeysuckle Honeydew, Strawberry Kiwi, Pomegranate Raspberry, Lemon Drop, Sweet Mint, Orange Blossom & Pink Grapefruit. I do like these lip balms. I think they smell so good and in my opinion they are moisturizing for a little while but they don't last that long on my lips. I keep one in my purse to use when I need some moisture but overall I don't tend to reach for these all the time.

 

 

These are the four original Maybelline Baby Lips that I have. Cherry Me, Peach Kiss, Quenched & Pink Punch. I love the original Baby Lips. they smell good, they are moisturizing and if you want a little color without wearing lipstick or a tinted lip gloss, these are the way to go.

 

 

These are two of the Baby Lips from the Electro collection. Strike A Rose & Oh Orange. These ones in my opinion have more of a tint thank the original ones and come in more vibrant colors but they are still moisturizing and hydrate your lips just as the origingals do.

 

 

These are two of the Baby Lips from the Crystal collection. Pink Quartz & Crystal Kiss. These lip balms have a shimmer to them. I don't like these as much as the others because of the shimmer but It's subtle and not in your face shimmer so I think they are good for wearing something different even if you are not that fond of shimmer.

 

I will also mention that Baby Lips also has a medicated collection but I do not own any right now.

 

 

This is a set of Essence lip balms called Kiss, Care, Love. I have Fruit Crush, Fruit Fruit Fruity & Carribean Sunrise. I think these are a dupe for the Maybelline Baby Lips. Well I am not positive that they are suppose to be true dupes but I think that these are a good alternative and they are a little bit cheaper. I got these on the Ulta website for I believe $1.99 and the Baby Lips can be almost $4 depending on where you get them. They are moisturizing and hydrating and have a tiny bit of color.

 

 

I also have two Nivea products. I have the A Kiss of Cherry lip balm and the Raspberry Rose Kiss lip butter. The lip balm gives you a pinkish tint to your lips while hydrating. The lip butter is a thicker consistency and makes your lips feel smooth and moisturized.

 

.

 

This is my chapstick collection. Fruit Punch, Cherry, Candy Cane & Pumpkin Pie. At the end is a Ulta lip balm in Sweet that I included here because the tubes are the same. The chapsticks are good for chapped lips obviously and especially in the winter time when your lips get more dry than usual. They come in all kinds of flavors and have special flavors around the holidays.

 

 

I love the Burt's Bees collection. I have only tried lip care but I am very interested in trying some of the other products as well. If anyone has tried any Burt's Bees products, let me know which ones and how you like them. I use these mostly on the occasions that I get a cold sore. I can usually feel one coming on and as soon as I do, I put this stuff on and it's gone in about three days. I swear by this stuff and would recommend it to everyone.

 

 

This is the last of my lip care. I have a Wet N Wild Raspberry lip balm. This I got because it was cheap at the drug store but I honestly wouldn't buy anymore. It doesnt smell that good and it tastes horrible. I know that it's not to eat but I have a habit of licking my lips alot and this just is not good at all. It's also a pretty big stick. The next thing is the Absolute New York You're The Balm lip balm in Grape. This reminds me a little of the Nivea lip butter but not as thick. It's very moisturizing and has a good smell. The last two things are what I consider lip treatments. The first is Vaseline Lip Therapy in the Original scent. This is good for dry and chapped lips. Its heavy and moisturizing and it just works great. I like the lip therapy rather than the plain vaseline because the lip therapy doesn't have the horrible smell and taste, it acts more like a lip balm. The last thing is a newer product in my collection but it has quickly became one of my favorites. It's the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lip Therapy. I have very dry lips especially in the winter time and this stuff works great. I put it on and an hour later I can still feel it on my lips. The scent is good and it's so moisturizing. I highly recommend this product.

 

So that's my lip care collection. I hope you liked it and as always feel free to share with me your favorite lip care products as well. Thanks for reading :) Until next time....

I Love Nail Polish Tag!

What's Up Guys!

I wanted to do something different for today's Blog so I went on YouTube to get some ideas and found the I Love Nail Polish Tag videos. I wrote the questions down and made my choices and here they are...

Favorite Base Coat:     ORLY Bonder

This is a rubberized base coat. I've been using it for over a month and I love it. It makes my nail polish stay on longer and chip less than it did with other base coats.

Favorite Top Coat:     Essie Matte About You

I just recently bought this top coat from Ulta and I have only used it once but I am already in love with it. It's matte and makes your nail polish matte. I used a color that was kind of on the bright side and when I put this top coat on it instantly matified it and make it a more pale version of the color. This is definitely a good top coat of you are not in the mood for shiny polishes.

Top 3 Brands:     Revlon, NYC, Essie

I have quite a few brands of nail polish and I love them all but these three are the ones that I tend to reach for the most. They are also the ones that seem to last the longest on my nails as well.

Favorite Neutral Nail Polish:     Essie Cocktails & Coconuts

I love this nude polish. It's not a brown but it's not a cream, it's the perfect mixture of both. I love to wear this polish during any season it doesnt matter to me.

Pink Or Red:     Pink

I chose pink just because there are so many different shades of pink. There's light, pastel, medium, dark, bright, neon. There is just more to choose from but I do love my reds as well.

Glitter Or Matte:     Matte

I chose matte because I have more matte polishes than glitter but I do like glitter as well. I prefer to wear glitter as either an accent nail or on my toes mostly.

Go To Nail Polish At The Moment:     China Glaze

I just recieved my first China Glaze polishes so I am trying them out to see how I like them.

What's On Your Nails Now:     China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle

This is a really pretty bright minty green. I have the Essie Matte About You top coat on over it and it made it a pale mette mint green. It's so pretty on the nails. So far I am loving this polish as well as the top coat.

If You Had A Nail Polish Line, What Would It Be Called:     XOXO Lola

I am so bad at naming things but XOXO Lola is how I end all my Blog posts so I just chose that one. HAHA.

So that's my I Love Nail Polish Tag but actually it's an I Love Nail Polish Blog. Either way I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to leave comments answering the questions as well or do a Blog yourself and let me know on Twitter, Instagram, or a comment on here so I can check it out. I'd love to see others choices.

Thanks for reading :)

ULTA Haul

Hey guys!
I made an online purchase on the Ulta wesbite a couple weeks ago because I had some gift cards from Christmas so I wanted to share what I picked out. I hope you all enjoy it.

 

I have been wanting to try China Glaze nail polish for a while now so when I saw that Ulta had this 6 piece travel sized road trip set I had to get it. I also saw the full size China Glaze bottle and fell in love with the color. I actually put the full size polish on my nails tonight. I haven't had it on long enough to give a full review but so far I am really liking the formula and the color is gorgeous.

 

The colors are listed left to right...

Boho Blues which is a bluish purple color.

Trip Of A Lime Time which is a lime green.

My Way Or The High Way which is a dark green bluish color. 

Dashboard Dreamer which is a light blue.

Oinking Out The Window which is a light pink maybe a salmon.

I brake For Colour which is a bright pink.

 

The full size bottle is called Too Yacht To Handle and it's a mint green color but with a matte top coat it kind of looks like a neon pale green.

 

 

I have been looking for a new top coat and found this Essie Matte About You top coat. I love essie nail polish so I thought that I would give this one a try. I also like that it is a matte finish because that is something that I have never tried before. I am also wearing this today and I really do love the effect that it gives on top of the nail polish. I might have found my new favorite top coat!!!

 

 

Of course I can't do shopping without buying some mascara. This time I bought two :) The first one is the Maybelline Great Lash Real Impact. Then other one is the Essence I love extreme volume. They are both in black. I love the Maybelline Great Lash mascara so I thought I would give this one a try. I have the Essence I love extreme crazy volume mascara so I wanted to buy that one to add to my collection. I can't wait to try them both.

 

 

I also did some shopping for a future giveaway and while I was looking for items I bought some of the same for myself. I got the travel size Ulta body wash in Pink Petals and Water Blossom. Both smell so amazing.

 

 

I initially was looking for a replacement Burt's Bees Lip Balm tin because I am almost out of the one that I have. I love Burt's Bees products. While I was shopping for that I came across The Absolute New York You're The Balm lip balm so I picked that up as well. I am keeping the Grape for myself and I put up the Green Apple one for the giveaway because I don't care for apple scents. So look for a giveaway coming soon...

 

 

I also got the free samples. I had chosen the skin care one but got sent these fragrances instead. I am going to give the Eternity mens cologne to my boyfriend and put the My NY DKNY perfume into the givaway stuff.

 

 

So that is my Ulta Haul. I hope you liked the products that I got and that they gave you some ideas of things to buy for yourselves as well. As always leave comments for me about products that you guys enjoy and think that I should try.

 

Thanks for reading :)

These are the 3 free samples I picked out at check out. The Philosophy renewed hope in a jar moisturizer, Philosophy miracle worker moisturizer & Yu-Be moisturizing body lotion.

 

 

Last but not least, I had 100 points so I was able to use those and pick something. I chose the Boscia luminizing black mask. This is a peel off mask and I have heard so many good things about it from beauty gurus on YouTube. I love peel off masks and I am so excited that I am able to try this one out!

 

So that's my Sephora Haul. I got some really good products for really amazing prices and I can't wait to try them out and do reviews for you guys. Until next time, Thanks for reading :)

Up Next...Ulta Haul?

Urban Outfitters Nail Polish Haul

Hey Guys!

 

Todays Blog is a short little Urban Outfitters nail polish haul. I recently found these polishes and fell in love with the two that I bought so I went back and bought four more! I may even have to add a few more to my collection!!!

 

 

I got two fall/winter colors. I really need more darker colors in my collection, my lights and pastels surpass my darks by more than half.

 

The two colors I chose were Midnight Rider which is the color on the left. The camera makes it look lighter than it actually is. In the bottle it looks like a deep blue gray but on the nails it looks more like a charcoal grey/light black. It is still a very pretty color either way and it's a perfect fall/winter shade. The second color is Cherry Grenadine. This polish is a deep burgendy color and on the nails thar's pretty much how it comes off as well. Very pretty color and also a perfect fall/winter polish.

 

 

The other two polishes I picked up are spring/summer colors. In this picture the two almost look the same but you can see more of a difference in the first picture that I posted. The color on the left is Left Bank and it's a pastel, very pretty green. The other polish is Pixie and it's a very gorgeous pastel blue. Both of these colors are going to make perfect spring colors. I like to wear lights and pastels in the spring and the brights and neon polishes in the summer.

 

 

So that was my Urban Outfitters nail polish haul. I hoped you enjoyed it. If you have not tried these Urban Outfitters polishes, I highly recommend that you go out and get some. They are $5 for 1 or 2 for $8. Very affordable and the formula is amazing. I have had no issues with fast chipping.

 

Thanks for reading :) Leave me ideas for future Blog posts and any suggestions for nail polish I should try or any other beauty products that you guys are loving these days!
