Glam Bag! April 2012

So this was MyGlam's last chance on me...I am sad to say that, I will indeed, not be able to try Birchbox, because they have won me back! They had a gorgeous bag, great products and wonderful brushes!

  The Bag: It is a shiny, metallic baby pink like the packaging of the first Glam Bag. I love it! It is my second favorite (1st is February)
  The Contents: No Coupons!!! Thank you for finally listening to us!
~ All-Belle Eyelashes: These are supposed to be really comfortable and comes with a, supposedly, good glue. I cant wait to wear these because none of the eyelashes I have tried are good.
~ DermStore Lip Quench-Moisture Infused Lip Treatment: This smells so good! It also works really well! Any signs of chapped lips were gone after using this once! Have you tried it?
~ Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Radium: Happy day. I have been wanting to try this eyeliner for such a long time but I dont want to spend $18 on it! Now I can Compare formulas to the Nyx Slide-on Eyeliners before buying a full sized one of the Urban Decay version.
~ MyGlam All-Over Eyeshadow Brush: I love the MyGlam brushes! They are pink and black and have really soft bristles. This is smaller than the average eyeshadow brush but that is really good because theya re usually big.
~ MyGlam Eyeliner Brush: An angled eyeliner brush is not what I need! But it is perfect for eyeliner because it is not thick but not too flimsy. I really enjoy these! Cant wait for more!

Thank you for reading and tell me if you want reviews! <3-

Lip Balm Goodness

Here are the BEST lip balms that I own! Now that Spring is around the corner, I am going to go for the more natural and stained lips instead of lipstick or gloss as much. But with the stains, I need a lip balm. Here are my suggestions and I would love to hear from you guys! I love and use these all so much!

~Softlips: I actually got a value pack for $3 for 3 at Target with two vanilla and a pearl. Then I got a pack at Big Lots with Cherry and Serene which is a slightly less pearly and more glimmer then the regular pearl (FYI, the Cherry is clear). I love how thin and glossy but still lip balm-y they are!
~EOS Lip Sphere: I only have one but I wish that I had...more! they are so cute and make an adorable decoration on your dresser or desk or night stand! I have Honeydew & Honeysuckle and I am in love!
~Nivea: I have tried the original and I have about 5 and then my mom tried the Milk and Honey and we both love that one! It has lots of SPF and really feels protected! Then I tried the Mint and Minerals and I cant tell you girls how much I use this! I use this at least twice a day when I do my makeup and skincare but it also evens the tone of your lips! I cant wait to try the Pink Shimmer!
~Lip Smackers: Who doesn't love these??? The ones with pink or red actually kinda tin my lips and they are cute and the smell amazing! I want to get the Soda or Candy pack and a Biggie!
~Vasaline Lip Therapy: I use this when I cant find a gloss that matches something or if my lips are chapped but the gloss I want dries it out. Also it is just oily (not that much) enough to blot and put a lipstick over without it being all gross looking.

Well that is it! I hope you enjoyed!

Review: ELF Therapeutic Lipbalm-Strawberry Creme

This is a pretty good lip balm.  It can feel greasy and I have some issues with the packaging but other than that its pretty nice.  It was only $1 at Target and ELF's website.  It used to have silver writing on it but after I used it about 3 times it all rubbed off!  The lid is okay, just be careful because it comes off fairly easily.  It twists up easily but is doesn't come up unless you want it to.

The color Strawberry Creme is a light baby/bubblegum pink shade.  As you see, it can be pigmented and is perfect for lightening your lips unless your are paler than this.  I don't bring this with me because it melts. I left is in the car for 30 minutes on an early fall afternoon and it was nearly liquid!  It would start melting inside of my pocket.  My suggestion: keep it for when you put on lip balm before your makeup and exfoliating.  It kind of makes your flakes stick out, making it easier to exfoliate.

I highly recommend this lip balm even though it has its down sides.

Pros: moisturizing, relatively pigmented, inexpensive, has multiple shades, smells/tasted good, perfect at home

Cons: can be greasy, melts easily, not portable
