October 2014 Lip Monthly

I received my October Lip Monthly bag yesterday. I'd heard lots of things about this subscription service, both good and bad. I only paid $5 for this bag so I was hoping there would be at least one awesome product in this bag.

When I opened the mailer, there was an extremely pretty makeup bag instead of the too-small box that I'd heard about.  The bag was sturdy but did have a strong plastic smell to it, but it lessens with each day.





First item is a product by Starlooks, which is the lip scrub. The description card says it's the perfect product to prep your lips for the 'perfect nude lip.' Unfortunately, I don't wear nude lips, it isn't a trend that looks good on me. Back to the product. I've tried lip scrubs before and they've been sticky. This isn't sticky and it doesn't work all that well, nor does it work as well as it should. This is probably one of my least favorite products in this bag. On the site, the lip scrubs sell 5 for $10, so this product would be $2.


The second item I pulled out of the bag was by Noyah and it was a lip balm in the flavor Cherry. I can always use more balms, though I hate Cherry but this doesn't have a strong scent so it's fine. I do like this product and I'm happy it was included in my bag. This balm goes for $3.99.


The third item in the bag is the JCat Fantabulous Lip Stick in the color Honeycrisp, which is a nude color. I'm pale so nude colors look terrible on me. I'm going to try to mix this with a pink and see if I can make the color better, but as it is, this is another of my least favorite products in the bag. The lipstick is $2.99 on the jcatcosmetics site.


The fourth lip product in the bag is by deVine shimmers cosmetics which uses ingredients in wine to make their products. They also have lotions and body butters. The color I got was Pinot Noir, which is a grape shimmer that doesn't have a lot of color. The product card says to pair it with a rich plum color for fall. I'm just now getting into darker lip colors and I can't wait to find the perfect lipstick to pair it with.  It is $4.95 on the devineshimmers.com website.
I also received an eyeliner by L.A. Girl in a brown black shade. I've used this a couple times, but it's slightly hard to use. Instead I've been using it for my brows.

New Adventures!!

I was offered a temporary (and hopefully more permanent) position as a brand ambassador for a new site called Beautydem. This site is made for users to find inspiration, create sets featuring beauty products. When someone purchases a product from a set, the creator of said set makes a 5% commission from the sale. It's fun and easy and completely free to join. You can make as many or as few sets as you'd like. This is one that I made, featuring sweet perfumes that smell delicious. It features Prada's 'Candy', Jessica Simpson's 'Fancy' and a few others. http://beautydem.com/set/595 Join me on www.beautydem.com !!!!

September 2015 LooksBook!!!!

                                                  This month's Starlooks LooksBook theme was 'Revival'. The colors featured in this box were gorgeous. Dark enough for Fall but brighjt enough to keep you holding onto warm weather.. If you live somewhere cold (like me), you want to hold on to warm weather for as long as possible.   The first item in the LooksBook is Agave, which is an eye-shadow duo in a dark red and a green that look gorgeous when blended together. Unfortunately for me, I kind of have hooded eyes, so you can't really see the effect. But I tried my best!     The second product is Flora, which is a beautiful, dark green mascara. Now normally I would never wear a mascara that's anything but black, but I wore t...

Chomps Snack Sticks

I was offered an opportunity to review Chomps snack sticks. It's basically a healthier and better alternative to Slim Jims, and in my opinion, they taste much better too. They come in three flavors of Crankin Cran, Hoppin Jalapeno and Original. They're made with 100% grass fed beef, gluten-free and don't have any nitrates or nitrites, no synthetics and they're high in omega 3's and CLA and they're infused with celery juice to extend shelf life, with no added sugar or preservatives. I'm not normally one for spicy foods, in fact, I try to stay away from it. So of course, I was slightly scared of trying the Crankin Cran which has habanero peppers and the Hoppin Jalapeno. However, I tried both and am absolutely addicted to them. They're not spicy to the point that you feel like your mouth is on fire, but there's just enough kick to excite your taste buds. These would be a great snack to just throw in your bag and go, and it's healthy for you too...
