Glam Bag! March 2012

In the March Glam Bag, I am really surprised!

1. First, and the best, is a brush case with a blending brush with a pink handle. It is really dense and thick!

2. Keracolor Natural Color Enhancing Leave-in Treatment. It is supposed to enhance highlights in you hair.

3. Murad Hybrids Absolute Bronzing Boost with SPF 15. It isn't orangy in the swatch i made so I am a little exited to use this!

4. Dermstore.com Gift Card for $25. There are 3 catches. You need a cart full of $50 or more to use this and it expires really soon and you cant get stuff from certain brands...Gift Cards twice in a row...

5. Murads Hybrids Eye Lift Protector. Just a mini sample.

6. pur-lisse spf 30 daily moisturizer. Another mini.

I love all the Glam Girls but I didn't even get an email saying they were going to charge me! They better get these things better or I will probably cancel my subscription...

Fresh Paint: Lilac and Mint

340 Mint Sorbet on the left and 270 Lacey Lilac on the right

 I love these Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polishes! They are super pigmented and long wearing without being streaky or splotchy.  They are available at Target and Walmart and are under $5.

On my right hand I have Mint Sorbet on four of my fingers and Lacey Lilac in the ring finger nail.

My left hand had the opposite to balance out the look. What nail polish are you wearing?

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!

Positively Pampering: Freeman Beauty Masks

I have two masks in full size from Freeman and I wanted to tell you girls what I love about them!  The one on the left is the Peel Off Cucumber mask and the one on the right is the Avocado Oatmeal Clay Mask, which was my first.  They are 6 fl oz. each and are $4 at Freeman beauty's website and around $3 at Walmart.

This is the Cucumber Peel Off and it is a clear gel that you spread on your face, wait 10-15 minutes and peel off. I love this because it vidibly reuces the size of pores, cleans and clarifies. It smells sweet and refreshing but if you dont like cucumber then this will not smell good! You dont need a lot so this should last a while! I havent made a dent in mine yet! And yes it does peel!

The clay mask is really nice! It is a greenish white clay kind of material and you spread it on not really thick but a generous amount. Wait 10-15 minutes and your face should be green! You wash it off and moisturize after either of these so make sure that your skin is beautiful all day and in the future!

I have 2 others so let me know if you want to hear about those too!
