TheBodyNeeds eye shadow review

  I said I was going to do another review of TheBodyNeeds for their eye shadow. I got my order in about a week ago and have been using them since, and also realize that I had one of their eye shadows for a while that I go in a swap. Everything I got was on sale or clearance because I hate spending full price on anything. I got the colors:

Lilac matte- soft lilac matte

Golden Copper – metallic golden copper

Tricked- frosted bronze

Pandora- Frosted golden pink

Patience- light baby pink matte

Lolly Luna- pale lavender with a teal duo chrome

Fools Gold- light yellowish gold with pale green pearl

They are all pretty pigmented, the lights one are buildable if you would like them darker. I love every color that I have but Fools Gold is my favorite. That is the one I have had for a long time and always go back to it. They do not bug my eyes in any way. I put them over whatever eyelid primer of the day I use then usually a NYX jumbo pencil. Most of the time I use the white one, Milk, but some days I will us a colored one. I can put them on at the start of my day and still have them on when I wash my face at the end of the night. They do fade as the day goes on, but you can still see what the colors they are, just not as vibrant. They can be a little blotchy and you have to play with them a little, but I really like them and for the price I have no complaints. They have tons of colors to pick from and good prices even when they are not on sale. I may not care for that one lip luster I got but, I really really like their eye shadows. They also sent a sample of another lip luster with my order. It is called Mystic. In the pot it came in it looks like is should be a berrish purple shade, but when you use your brush or finger to put it on there is no color at all though. It is more like a scented lip balm, it smells like berries. It does feel good on the lips and leaves a nice shine, I just do not like there is no color at all. I like tinted lip balms and it would have been great if this turned out to be one.  I have some pictures of the shades, but for some reason the pictures were not working out no matter what type of camera I tried to use. This review was held up a little bit because I was fighting with the pictures.

Products not worth buying

 I am not a person who likes to do negative reviews, but I have two lip products that I have gotten, that I just do not care for no matter how I use them or what I do with them. These are things that I got with my own money and kind of sad about them not working out.

  The first lippies is from a web site called The Body Needs. It is their lip luster in Tokyo Pink. The packaging is simple and that is one of the reasons why it is a cheap price. I would have really loved for it to work because the color is so pretty. The site says it is a dupe for MAC’s St. Germain, having not used or seen St. Germain in person I cannot say yes or no to that. For this is that the lip luster is super soft and gooey. It is in a very thin lipstick tube, and I would have thought that is would have stayed like a normal lipstick, but it is nothing like it. I cannot twist it back down because it is so soft and yucky. It goes on your lips like a gooey, sloppy mess. It does not go on smooth; it is super hard to get a smooth coat on your lips. Once you put your lips together it is all over the place again. It is just a greasy mess that never sets or stays in place. I have tried it with lip liner, concealer, anything I can think of to make it stop bleeding and stay put. I did get a sample of MAC’s Candy Yum Yum from the site which was great. The shipping took around two weeks, but there were no problems at all with that, or ordering from the site. I would think about ordering more samples from them, because I cannot see spending the price on a full tube of MAC that I will never use all of, but I will shy away from their lip products. Within the next two weeks, I am going to look into ordering some of their eye products so I can share what I think of them with you. They have amazing colors at a good price that I would love to try.

   The next product is the Wet n Wild megalast liquid lip color. The only color I have is Click on my hyperpink ,924A, I am very glad it is the only color that I have. I LOVE this color to death and wished this was not a negative post about the product.  First thing I noticed was the scent; it reminds me of old burned plastic and just makes me want to put it away as soon as I open it. It goes on smooth and even with no problems. The problems come into play once it starts to set. It gets so dry on my lips I cannot stand it. It settles in every line of your lips so it makes them look dry and yucky too. When I put it on I put lip balm on first, then apply the megalast and top with a lip gloss. I am still not sure if I like it how it looks this way. The lip color still settles in the lines and makes it a little blotchy. I have not tried to see how long it lasts because I am not happy with it and just take it off again. Overall the color is gorgeous and very pigmented, but it is so drying and settles into lines so it makes me not want to wear it. It also leaves nasty pink on everything from cups to food.

Maybelline Dr. Rescue Baby Lips!!!

OK ladies, I will admit it I am a lip junkie and a Maybelline lip junkie at that.  I have been hunting high and low since I heard that there was a new Baby Lips coming out. I have almost all of them that have come out. I LOVE them and always have at least one in my bag. I looked high and low in my town the last few weeks trying to find the Maybelline Dr. Rescue and today I sort of struck gold. I honestly forgot that we had a Rite Aid in town because I never go in to it, but I had time and saw it so I went in. BINGO, they had them, but they only had one color left. That made me sad, but happy because I could at least try one. I got the pink one and of course I forgot to save the package to get the real color name. I have been using it since I got it this afternoon. It is a menthol lip balm and I love that so much. You put it on and it tingles and cools your lips. It makes them feel soft and refreshed.  This one gives your lips just a soft hint of pink, which is great for on the go. This is great because you never need a mirror to put a little on. I put it on twice in an eight hour period and it lasted both times and kept my lips feeling great. I highly recommend these and there will be more added to the review when I find more colors and get some more use out of them. I was just too excited to wait and share that I found them.

Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain

I gave the Cover girl Outlast lip stain a try, so I thought I would share with you. The one I used was number 400, unfortunately since I took the package off I could not find the color name. It is a magic marker form with the felt tip. This type of lip product is one of my favorite because I think it goes on with so much control. It goes on nice and smooth with lots of color. It is very wet when first applied and dries in seconds. The only time I smelled anything is if I smelled the marker its self.  Once it dries it is not to drying on the lips or sticky at all. I personally like my lips very moisturized so I did swipe on a little bit of baby lips before I walked out of the house, if I did not have that I would have been ok with just the lip stain.

  I put it on around 1:30 before work and went about my day. I had it on until I got home at 10:30 without touch up. I saw around 6:30 that I still had color. It was not as dark, but there. I also did not have to put on any more lip gloss. It was not over drying the rest of the day. When I got home at 10:30 there was a tiny bit of color left. Overall I really love this stuff. I will be going out to get more colors. They are not over drying and lasted for hours through eating, drinking, smoking, and lip licking. I really have no cons for this product. If I find some I will update on them.

I know horrible pictures, going to try to get a real camera soon :D

Box's I have gotten

So I have been a little slow at writing lately. Sorry about that, my comp crashed and my phone died. I am a little more together now, but I may not have pics for my posting for a little bit.  This post is just a quick update on some of the boxes I have gotten. First box I got was my Teen Vogue Birch box, which I LOVE!! I am so happy that I picked the teen vogue box; I am not even sure what was in the normal box. Everyone I follow got the teen vogue box as-well. Well this is just a quick list of what came in mine:

1)      Essie’s luxeffects in as gold as it gets. I love the color, and it looks great alone or over color. I have been trying all kinds of things with it to see how I like it best. So far I love it over Sally Hansen’s No Hard Feelings.

2)      Kate Spade New York perfume in Twirl. This is a great fruity, florally type mix. I think it will be such a great scent for the spring. I love the perfume samples we get in our boxes, such a great way to always change your scent to your mood.

3)      Kerastase’s Elixir Ultime.  This works so well in my hair. It makes it super soft, shiny and straight. I was so happy with this I went and got a full size one and I never get hair products.

4)      Tarte’s Lipsurgence lip tint in Lucky. My sister and I are in love with this. It is so fun to use, love the crayon style of it. The color is great for spring and it has become my go to lip color.

5)      Twistband, hair tie in a super light pink. I am not sure what I think about this being in the box, but whatever, everything else was SUPER GREAT and I will use and have been using the hair tie. I just wish it was something different.

All together this was a great box and so happy that I got it. I hope they do more boxes like this in the future.

    The next thing I got was a Cravebox that I won from a giveaway by a1nettie on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/a1nettie). Thank you again, I enjoyed this box greatly. Everyone should check out her Youtube and from there her blog, she is super great and has great freebees and box openings. I do not have pictures of this box because of my phone, but I will link a picture that I found online for it.

 So in this box I got:

1)      Amore Pacific treatment cleansing foam and moisture bound. I have never seen anything like the moisture bound before, it is a spray for your face you can use whenever to help keep your face moisturized.  They both smell super great and I really like how the moisture bound makes my face feel.

2)      ThinkThin bars. One was creamy peanut butter and the other was a mixed nut bar. I got to try the mix nut bar and it was AMAZING. My sister took the other bar on me and I have not gotten to ask her what she thought of that one.

3)      Three packs of Eboost. I have to say that this one is not for me. I tried it and could only stand to take one sip. To me it tasted like salt water with a slight orange taste to it.  So glad I got to try them before buying them for myself.

4)      Downy Wrinkle Releaser. I have not used this yet nor have I ever before. I will say that I love the idea of it and so glad to have it. I am going to skip ironing something next time I have to wash them to see how well it works. If it works well it would save me so much time. I however do love the scent of it. Once I got it I sprayed it I could not wait to at least smell it, lol.

5)      Bic Mark It. We got 6 of them in great pinks and purples. They are a fine point permanent marker. I can never have enough craft type stuff. I love color, crafting and pink so I will find many uses for these markers.

This was another great box. I have been on the waiting list for a few months, but it is always full so I was super excited to get one box while I wait for the member ship to reopen.  I will post all the links again so you can check them out if you would like.

Kiss Nail Dress

Another product I received in my Love VoxBox from Influenster to try and review was Kiss Nail Dress. I got the pink cheetah like pattern called Bodysuit which I LOVE. They were the ones I was hoping for as I started to see others boxes. They come with 28 nail stickers in the pack so I used them on myself and my sister used the rest. The first thing we did was clean and buff our nails to make sure they were nice and smooth to give the stickers the best surface we could to stick to. Than you pick the right one for you nail, slowly put it on and make sure you are push a little bit on them to keep out any bubbles, at the end of the nail we bent the sticker over and filed off the extra. I will say I stink at sizing my nails. I had gaps on almost all my nails, but it was my own doing. Once on though they looked pretty good. My sister did a much better job and they looked great on her fingers. We both put clear polish over the top just for a little extra protection and shine, but it is not needed at all.  For me using them took less time than using normal nail polish and I could not mess them up. Any time I paint my nails I always hit at least one before they are fully dry and I hate that. It was also super fun spending the time with my sister and putting them on. That was a great plus with them. My sister had them on for 8 days before she took them off. They still looked pretty good; I was highly impressed with how they held up. I took mine off about 4 days later, just because I am ALWAYS changing my nails. Over all I give these an A and would use them again. I think they have great patterns and they are so much easier to use than nail polish. They are also very easy to change to match your outfits, hair, or make-up whatever you want them to go with. I want to get more so I can get use to sizing them to my nails. I think after a few more tries I will be a pro. Great product Kiss Nail Dress, I really really enjoyed them.
