Smooth lips, just in time for Valentines Day!

Its the little things....... my new obsession, EOS lip balm. I have seen this product in the check out line at Walmart for several months, even back in the summer. I never tried it. Then, I saw a tutorial on YouTube and they were raving about it. So here is my review. Thanks for visiting and reading :)

Product: EOS Smooth Sphere

Promises: (from the website) "EOS lip balm is 95% organic. 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, EOS keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth"

I tried, I loved it, I'm now constantly on the hunt for the other "favors". It seems like it goes on "thinner" than other lip balms, I do put in on before going to bed and I can tell that it has helped moisturize my lips but I don't fell it on when I wake up like some other products I have tried. I apply it on my lips at times before applying lipstick and it seems to help keep some color on my lips longer. It has a really great scent based on the "flavor" that you choose. My favorites at the moment are Summer Fruit (pictured above) and Sweet Mint. They do also offer 1 that is medicated. These lip balms can be found at CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart and Rite Aid. They range from around $3-$4.

 

Here is a list of the flavors:

Summer Fruit, Lemon Drop (SPF 15), Strawberry Sorbet, Honeysuckle Honeydew, Tangerine (Medicated), Sweet Mint, Pomegranate Raspberry.

 

Softer Lips?? + Toothpaste Promises

Hey Everyone!

Thanks for taking time out to read my new post, hope you enjoy. Don't forget to subscribe and please comment below if you have any questions!

Today's post started as a review of a new toothpaste but I decided to add another product that I have recently used a good bit. So here we go....

Product: Crest 3D White Luxe Toothpaste

Promises: "Removes Up to 90% of Surface Stains in 5 Days"

Well, I took the 5 day challenge. My husband got this sample tube with a tooth brush during a recent trip to the dentist for a cleaning. The sample was just large enough for me to use 2 times per day for 5 days. The toothpaste has a very minty taste and leaves a fresh feeling for what seems to be longer than our regular toothpaste does (Crest Complete Whitening) As for the removal of surface stains, I could see a difference, but to say that 90% of stains were removed, no. I would however repurchase this product due to the fresh clean feeling and staying power.

Tip: Look for sample size products in the travel section and corner hangers in stores so that you can try the product before committing to a full size.

OK, now on to the other product.

Product: Skinny Girl Lip Scrub

Promises: "Keep your pout smooth and kissable with this luxuriously gentle sugar scrub"

I saw this product at Walmart and wanted to try it. Shortly later it was given to me as a little gift (I might have gave a few hints). I have used it off and on over the past 6 months. It does remove some dry skin from lips but I feel that the "scrub" contents are too large for the lips. I have used the Mary Kay Satin Lips Lip Mask before and this product is not similar in ingredients, only the concept. The Skinny Girl product does have a great minty scent, is easy to use, not too oily and leaves your lips moisturized for a short period of time, but I feel like the price difference between this ($7.00 @ Walmart) and the Mary Kay product ($9.50) is not so significant that I would purchase this again.

***I do recommend if you decide on the Mary Kay Satin Lip product, go ahead and purchase the lip mask and lip balm combo because that lip balm used after the mask is heavenly!****

Lets Get Started With a Bang....Horrible Hairspray

Ok, lets get this party started. This is probably one of the worst products I have tried recently in preparation of this blog (or at least we will keep telling my husband that).

Product: Fruitopia Ultra Firm Hold Freezing Hairspray

Promises: Firm Hold with no stickiness or flaking

The really bad thing about this product is that it does the EXACT OPPOSITE of what it advertises. LOL! This stuff is SOOO sticky! The hold is far from "Firm". I can not use hot rollers with this product because I usually spray my hair before putting the roller in and this stuff is so sticky that I can not do this. The flaky promise I guess is OK, I really didn't notice "flaking" but I did notice ALOT of build up when I washed my hair.

The best thing about this product is the smell. It is really fresh and fruity. I actually bought the stuff because it smells like peach Nehi :) It really holds up to the Fruitopia brand as far as the reputation for great scents.
