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.

Mail Freebies

Well not too much today. I am giving the Cover Girl Outlast lipstains a go so hopefully I will have a review of that for you very soon. Today is just quick freebies in the mail, which is not much at all. I got a sample from Pureology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner. I also got prize mail from Jordana. I few weeks ago on their Facebook page they were giving out their new 12 HR eyeshadow pencils. Well today I got two of them in the mail, which really surprised me. I thought we would get one, but nope there were two, they are in continuous almond and tenacious brown.  They are great colors and when I put them on my hand for you to see it was so creamy and smooth. I will let you know more about them once I get to use them for a little bit.

I am back with a little coupon haul :D

I have been gone for a long time; I had a lot to do with school and some personal things I had to deal with. I have time now and it is time to start writing. Today is just a two quick shopping trips that I had. One of them from Wal-Mart, I do not have the receipt anymore because I did it last week, the CVS one I did just today.

 From Wal-Mart, I got six travel size Gillette shaving cream for free plus was paid to take them outside of the store. They were $1.27 a piece and I had two coupons that let you get $6.00 off three products with no size restriction. So for three of them it was $3.81. At Wal-Mart they take the full $6.00 and give you the overage in cash. So I did the deal twice and got $2.19 in cash for each coupon.

 

   Now for today’s CVS trip. I got four of the Dawn Hand renewal dish soap that are on sale for .99 cents each. I had two, $1.00 off two product coupons for those. I got two regular Dawn dish soap that are also on sale for .99$. I used two .20 cents off coupons on those. I got two Cover girl Outlast Lipstains. They are on sale buy one get one half off, so one was $9.49 and the other one was $4.64. I had one $ 4.00 off two coupons for those. I got two of the Cover girl glosstinis. One of those was $3. 79 and the other one was $1. 89. I had a $1.50 off coupon off one item, so I could use one on both of them. I also had a magic red box coupon for $5.00 off $15.00 worth of cosmetics I used. Then I used $5.50 in EBC (Extra Care Bucks). All of that brought my total down to $6.01 out of pocket and after I got my receipt I got $5.00 back in ECB to use next time I go in. So Basically I paid $1.01 for all of these items.

  I am not the best with coupons and still slowly learning but these are my latest trips and I did very well on both of them. As I learn more I hope I will get better, however I do not want to build a huge stock pile of items that I will never use. I only look for deals on things that my house hold needs and will use.

Ivory 2-n-1

I got Ivory 2-in-1 from Influenster to try out and share my thoughts on. This is a new product that can be used for body wash and shampoo, it also includes conditioners.

   The scent is very clean and refreshing. I enjoyed it because it was different from my normal fruity or floral scent. I use it mostly as a body wash because I have a very dry scalp and I do not like to change my shampoos. My sister has been using it as a shampoo and said it is not too bad. She still likes a normal shampoo and conditioner better. This makes her hair clean and manageable, just not as soft as she would like.

   As for a body wash I really like it. It leaves my skin soft and moisturized with a nice scent.  A little on my bath gloves goes a very long way. It rinses off your body nicely and leaves you feeling clean. All in all I think it is a great body wash but as a shampoo I am not the biggest fan.

    Take a second and check out the Ivory Facebook page and find out what other people think of it. If you would like an invite to Influenster I have five to give out, just like my Facebook page and send me a message.

L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream

I received from SheSpeaks to test and review for everyone the L’Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB cream. I am in LOVE!!!!!!!!! For a long time I gave up on foundation because everyone I tried made my face look cakie (haha new word) and I could not find one that I liked at all, so I just never used it. Well this BB cream has changed everything for me. I have dry skin on the sides of my nose and between my eye brows, which was the problem areas with foundation. This BB cream has made such a difference in my face. I can wear it every day it corrects my color and does not show any dry patches. I have used it every day since I got it and it has been about a month now and the dry patches are less, people tell me how great my skin looks, everything. This has become my life saving make-up item. I use Smash Box primer and then put the BB cream over it and set with a tiny bit of powder in my oily areas and I am ready to go. It is not a heavy coverage product so I understand why some do not like the product, but it does what I want. I want the redness in my face evened out and the dry patches not to show. It works perfect for that. It goes on super smooth and you do not need tons of it to do the job. There are not enough words that I can give you to tell you how much I enjoy this stuff. I will be using this from now on and I have already had so many friends to try it out and they love it too.  I almost forgot that it is white when you put it on and blends to your skin tone. That has me mystified and I love that they are able to do that.

Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion

  About a month ago I received Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion to try and review for you guys. I have used it every morning since I got in place of my other facial Lotion. This is their Enhanced Lotion for anti-wrinkle. It contains 10% Glycolic AHA and with continued use it will help revitalize and restore younger skin. I can say that it has made my skin very soft and brighter than it has been. I do not have fine lines or wrinkles, but I have been using anti-wrinkle products since I was about 20 and love them. I love how nicely this lotion goes on and just disappears on the skin. It does not leave a greasy feeling and it is gone in no time so I can move on with the next step in the morning. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and firmer than it was before. I really enjoy lotions that give you the firming type feeling on my face and neck. There is no scent at all. I have very oily skin and this does not make it worst, it is one of the few face lotions that I have found I can use and not have an extra greasy face. I love this lotion and think it would be a great buy for anyone who is looking for a great facial lotion. I have told so many people about it and let my sister try it and she loves it too.  I give this product 5 out of 5 stars and will be something I will buy more of once I run out. I add all of their links so please take a second and like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
