I'm always on the hunt for new lip balm, but nothing can fade the favorite Natural Ice Cherry! I have had this unopened for awhile now and finally got around to using it. I have been a fan of Carmex, but I wasn't a big fan of the pot or even the squeeze tube. This was right up my alley because I like balms in stick form.
Ingredients & their schpeel on not sacrificing fashion in lipcare. Haha!
I do love the slanted tip! I tend to press a divet into my lip balm so that it curves around my lips. This has the same properties as the original formula with extra hydration & spf. Something my lips need all the time. I haven't been using this or Natural Ice lately because my lovely eczema has been acting up and menthol/camphor can be drying. :( Hopefully this clears soon and I can use my tingly lip balms!Cost: Around $3
Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes! Like I said, I'm not a fan of the pot or squeeze tube Carmex!
These added a little oomph & fullness to my natural lashes. The strip was very pliable & soft and I had no issues applying. This set of lashes came with it's own small tube of adhesive which was nice.
Close up of the lashes. I really liked this pair and I'm not usually a fan of fuller strip lashes. I usually go for the ones with varying lengths, but this pair made me change my mind. I did have to trim about a quarter of an inch for a better fit, but I have to do that with almost all my strip lashes. I was a bit tipsy when we got back home, but I did take these off before I went to bed! Yay! Unlike my 
Having these tip cards are great! I like having some direction, then adding my own personal touches.
There is also an applicator included. IMO, it is useless. I guess I could use the spongetip end, but why dirty it? LoL!
Swatches of the shadows on my clean, bare hand with no primer. Very pretty! You can purchase this palette from Ulta 
Not sure where she picked this up from, but she knew right away that it suited me. It was cute and pink. She knows me too well.
Not sure when I will actually use them, but I'll definitely be using a lipbrush if I can. I don't do finger-in-the-pot gloss often.
My fave is the strawberry gloss cuz #1 it is pink and #2 its strawberry! One of my faves!
We stayed at the 
Close ups of the eyes with and without flash. I wanted to keep the make up simple and not too flashy. Most of the time, especially for big events, I like to load on the shimmer/glitter, but this time around we went more subtle.
And here are the $1.50 sparkle lashes from Daiso! I didn't notice the sparkle when I bought them. I guess I wasn't really paying attention to that detail looking at the lashes. I like the kinds that have varying lengths. Unfortunately, these didn't make it. Hahaha! I woke up with these next to me and they were smooshed. Well, I can always pick up another pair since they were a good deal, but I don't think I will. Too blang, blang for my liking.
At $6 each, this was affordable and a great product. I do wish most liners with a brush had a thicker brush included. This is great if you're trying to achieve a very fine line, but I like to wear liner on my top lid a bit heavier and had to layer this on.
I love the color! When natural light hits it, it is gorgeous. It looks pretty shiny here with the flash, but its actually very subtle and wearable.
I did love my hair, but I wanted to scale things down and bring things back to natural in my beauty routine. "Natural." Cutting off the fakeness. No more acrylics. No more colored contacts. No more highlights...for now.
Looooove it. I feel so young and virginal. Ok, the virginal only relates to my hair. :D
Boasted that this is, "The one brush that does it all." Hmmm....I beg to differ, but I'll give it a shot.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her picture inside and saw her posing with the brush. Its very porno like. LoL
Overall, this brush is great for blow drying. I'm able to lift sections with just a twist and it does add volume. I wouldn't recommend this for those wanting a sleek, straight look - stick to a good paddle brush to achieve that look. I don't use this brush that often. The brush was free if you purchased the all-in one hair styler, so it was a great deal for me.
I'm digging the varying temperature settings. I do love my CHI, but there are some obnoxious kinks in my hair sometimes that need extra heat to get out.
What should have been included was a heat SLEEVE, not a heat pad. You have to wrap the pad with an elastic or string to keep it around the barrel in order to be useful for travel.
Not too bad, but I do need some time to work with it more efficiently. I find myself still using my good ole CHI on most days.
