Maybelline Baby Lip Balm



Hi Beauties...I jumped on board and decided to try this lip balm from Maybelline. I could only find it in 30 Peach Kiss. My intial thoughts on this is that it feels oily on my lips which I am not a fan of. I like the texture of Burt's Bee's chapsticks instead. I was under the impression that I would have a hint of color and well this is just a clear balm for my lips since my lip color is similar . I love the packaging and the price it's bad I purchased mine at the drugstore and it cost $3.79 and the normal price they go for is $3.00. I wore it yesterday and I am wearing it today but I am not convienced that it's something I need to buy again or purchase the other colors. Also if you are new to makeup, a teenager, or just like very sheer balms then this is right up your alley.

Skinny Cow White Mint Truffle Bars

I been on this new journey to eat healthier and to be more fit but there's a "PROBLEM". I love sweets! I am addicted and it's always been a true hardship to part with sugar. So I am going away on vacation in a couple of months and I want to look great and feel great, plus my tenth year high school reunion is this year also (Scary I know). I want to look amazing to say the least. Well enough of my sugar diary and on to this mini review. I brought these on the hip that they are delisicous and are only 100 calories which is great for an ice cream bar. I was completely blown away on how much I enjoyed this ice cream bar. The intial taste was that it is made with fat free milk because it isn't the normal creamy texture I am use to. The mint taste is to a minimum which I like. The chocolate that covers the ice cream bar I think might be dark chocolate. This treat was more then I had    expected. I will definitely be repurchasing these ice cream bars and try the rest of the Skinny Cow treats.

Physician Formula Eye Booster 2 in 1 Eyeliner


                                  



What can I say about this product but that I have found something better then Loreal Linear Intense Eyeliner. Which I really love but have replaced with this Physician's Formula Eye Booster 2 in 1 Eyeliner Serum. I have two out of the three that they sale ( Ultra black and Deep Brown). These eyeliners are amazing they really stand the test of time ( in the sense of 8+ hours). I have enjoyed not setting it with an eyeshadow because it's that good of an liquid eyeliner. It's priced at $10.95 but can run a little more depending where to decide to purchase it and what retailer (Drugstore, Walmart, or Target). Physician's Formula claims that this product will enhance the look of lashes, targets the base of your lashes, with its unique brush your are able to capture whatever look you are going for may that be a thick or thin line. It is dearrived from a Japanese formulation that wears long, is water proof, and does not smudge.
It is only 0.16 Fl oz I have had it for several months and it has not dried out yet.
My personal experience with this is that it has not smudged at all. I have put this on before 8am and gotten home around 7pm and the eyeliner has faded a tad but nothing to bad and really hasn't moved much on my lads. I think that this is well money spent... The black is a true rich intense black and the brown is like a dark chocolate brown. They go great with almost any look and compliment dramatic looks as well... Again thanks for stopping by and reading my blog it means alot.

Love,
Nikk

Maybelline Tattoo Eyeshadows


Well to start everyone knows how amazing these are and if you don't I would suggest for you to run to your local Walmart, Target, or Drugstore and at least try one. I currently own 05 Too Cool, 15 Audacious Asphalt. 20 Painted Purple, 25 Bad to the Bronze, 35 Tough as Taupe, 45 Bold Gold, and 50 Edgy Emerald. I brought all of the eyeshadows at separate times. I been playing around with the colors a bit, this weekend I used 20 Painted Purple as a eye liner. I wanted to see the intensity of the pigmentation which was ok for it being purple but I had to use a bright purple eyeshadow to make it more intense to my liking. I have used them with primer and without. I prefer with primer because I feel like they last a little longer and look better but that is just my personal opinion. I am quite sure you can go without if you are on the go! You can use these in many different ways. You can use them for what they are intended for or you can step it up a bit further and test different ways like finding a similar eyeshadow and applying that first then using a tattoo eyeshadow over top, you can also use it like an eye liner, and just a crease color. There are endless possibilities...Last thought for these cream shadows! How about mixing them to create a whole new color.
If you come up with new and creative ways to use the Maybelline Tattoo Eyeshadow leave me a comment to a twitter comment and share!
